The leaks were so wee that I decided to use POR-15. Five weeks later and one trip later, no leaks!!! I will make a note to give a report in a year.

Okay, I decided to pull the tank out! Good thing I did because someone painted the tank without a primer coat. Every place where the paint didn't stick and water got behind the paint, there was a pitting and rust (oxidation). The issue began as a leak in the rear of the tank. Three little pin...

FYI: I found my plaque. It was on the side, painted over and behind a bracket. Even after I pulled the tank, the thick paint hid it! So, thanks for the heads up, which made me look harder for it!

It's a 90 gallon tank!

Can anyone tell me where to find or what the name of the fuel (Diesel) tank for my 1998 Newmar/Freightliner Chassis? I drew a picture of it below, but it is not to scale. Thank you in advance!

I know this is an old post, but for those of us looking for information, I will add to it. On the rolling hills of central Texas, my 37ft 1998 Newmar Motorhome with 5.9 diesel engine would drop 10 to 20 miles per hour. I was also having trouble getting to 65-70 MPH. I replace the stock air...

Most large slides have rollers under them. If a roller is not working or is gummed up, the slide will not perform correctly. On my roller, the face was broken (plastic coating) for example. Is your slide hydraulic? I believe it is. Could be a plumbing issue (plugged, weak pump, etc...)

We camp with four people in a 37' Class A and it is a bit cramp. The couch makes a bed for two short people and the table-bed might work if you have small children. We only have one queen bedroom. We just look at one that had a queen bedroom and two bunk beds as well as the couch; but pricey...

All of the stains are near the AC, so I think its local. There are other soft spots on the roof though, so there will be other areas where the wood will have to be replaced. I slitted the rubber roof and worked aluminum sheets over the hole the glued and caulked it like crazy. This will work...

Conclusion: I put the flex hose on the two sensors and it worked; however, the pressure gauge would go to 100 PSI initially and fall back to 40 to 50 PSI once I got going. I knew this wasn't right, so I connected a ground wire to the gauges and now it works perfectly. Thanks to all who help!

We decided to replace the roof on our motorhome. In areas it has wood underneath that is pretty much gone! We got a leak at our main AC and I found the wood was pretty much non-existent under one of the bolts (about 1 foot by 1 foot area). Figure there are other areas too! Thought about...

Howes, Diesel Treat, Conditioner and Anti-gel

Thank you for the detailed description!

Update: There are 5 lag bolts that hold the AC on to the roof! Three on the left side and two on the right side! In the attached picture, I placed the bolts approximately where they were removed from! Reminder: This is a plenum type AC; hence, it does not have the vents directly below it. -...

Thank you for your response. I think I understand better the issue now.
