My sort of similar experience.  I was pulling onto the Port Aranasas ferry the guide was about 3 feet in front of the old Flair trying to squeeze as much room on the ferry as he could. when the high pressure AC hose blew in half making a loud boom and then a screaming sound as the freon blew out...

Not enough information. what chip what year is your ford what are you looking for? Power, economy, milage, transmission changes. Other mods made to engine? Never chipped a 460 but have 454's  about the same. My experience it firmed up transmission shifts some.  Advanced the spark some but...

I have chained up my Flair many times getting to ski resorts. Specially Crystal moutain in Wa that often has highway patrol at the bottom of the hill and will not let you proceed without chains or 4x4. In most cases I only chained the outside duals and nothing else. The fronts steer just fine...

Generic terms like 1/2 or 3/4 ton are meaningless. You need the exact specs for you  truck. I guessed since you did not give them. Look here and redo with your exact specs if  guessed wrong. click here. Your limiting factor appears to be GVWR it appears to be 6650 in all cases.  My guess is...

Thats for sure.  After Thanksgiving you probably will need reservations.  We are currently in the South Fourty RV Ranch in Marana.  We have one of if not the best site in the park but have been told we got to be gone by 1 October because the site is permantetly leased to a snowbird from Oct...

It is a real shame but Willcox is one of those towns that gets smaller by the day.  The good part is that there is almost never a wait for any thing and people for the most part go out of their way to be civil and helpful to anyone.    Benson and Douglas are pretty much the same except you...

65 and 75 sounds low for anything other than a class B or small Class C. My F250 requires 80.  Plus this is/was a rental.  You have no idea if other people ran them low or hit curbs with them.  If they were run low in the past they are gonners no matter what you inflated them to.    Chain...

I simply do not camp, and I don't own a camper. I own an RV. I use it as a mobile condo.  I prefer fullservice RV parks (resort type If I can find One).    After 30 years in the Army there ain't anything that is going to get me to CAMP.  In the past we used it mostly for skiing and now use it...

Did you look at Jeep Libertys. Smaller ande lighter than the Grand. I really like mine.

Here are some pictures of transfer switches. ( kinda small but all I could find) There is nothing in them that you as a user can fix.  If all the connections are tight it either works or does not. And as others have pointed out it is not really a switch but a couple of relays that move one way...

I'm with Odie I hate the darn things.    If you are afraid of the dark stay home.

Are you sure it is not filling the hot water tank. It will now flow water untill it does. As a last resort you could fit a tee just before the pump and add water to get it primed and pumping. It does not hurt those pumps to run dry so you could try turning it on and opening all the faucets to...

To me most of the things that you are fretting over are personal wants/needs. Example bunk beds. I don't want em would not have  them and would never use them. As to different brands yes you have to go to several dealers to see the different ones. Do it.  I went to four dealers on my last buy...

Well.....RV's are mobile by their very purpose.  The Rv dealers in Arizona do their primary business with sonwbirds and full timers. Just because a unit is locted in Tucson does not mean a thing. It could have spent most of its life in Florida or Oregon. And, the same is true for a unit...
