    Heater core control valve...Is it necessary?

    You should leave the heater valve in place. It will get very hot driving down the road in summer plus no heat for the defroster, your choice.

    Interested in buying a toad

    Before you buy a toad, do research as to what vehicle can be towed. ie flat four, flat four with trans oil pump, tow dolly or no towing at all. I just went through this with a vw 5 speed, ask enough questions from different sources. I found Remco,  I think that was the name, they make oil pump...

    Robbed by a tow truck driver

    There are no free lunches in this world today.  It is unreasonable to expect a tow truck driver to hook up and move a vehicle any distance at all for free no mater what happened last year.

    Class A drivers seat.

    On my first MH, a GM C class the seats in it were baffed, I  got a pair of astro van seats and had them reupholstered. They were fully adjustable and had lumbar support. The seat was normal length and I could get my legs comfortable. Keep looking.

I also find the seat portion too long as compared to my other  vehicles, its about 2 inches or more longer and hard to get comfortable with my legs on long trips. I also feel like I am sitting in a hole. I used a couple of foam pads to...

    Assistance with first motorhome

    We had 1993  Gulfstream. The kitchen sink and shower were on the same side hooked together. The toilet and bathroom sink on the other side hooked together. We could tell when the grey water tank was full regardless of gauges, the shower started to gurgle and water would come up, simple way to tell.

    Floor Mats for Class A

    Sorry about your luck, you will have to drop the transmission and oil pan.  There is no other  way to get at the seal.  You probably can find service manuals for Ford f53 on line. Its not to hard to do just some slugging. I have done it on GMs.
