    After spending about a year wondering and fretting about tires, I got the KO2's

    I purchased a set of 33x10.50/15's yesterday at Americas Tires. The reason I mention this is the special they are running this weekend - $100 gift card with purchase of 4 tires. They had the best price I found - even the internet. With mounting, balance, tax, tire fee's goota luv CA, etc., out...

    Sika 715 users??

    Give it time, it can a week to fully cure. Make an oversize cover to keep dust off if needed, but make sure it can breath.

    From Freightliner ambulance to RV - we hope!

    Most gas class A's are front engine and the jacks are mounted just like you noted. This is how Fleetwood - largest RV maker in the US, mounted their jacks for many years. The jacks are also great for flats and if stuck, you can lift and block/dig as needed. I carry a couple of 4x8 blocks of...

    Overnight tent heating

    Good tent with rain fly, insulation - I use thick moving blankets between really good sleeping bag and insulated self inflating air mattress. This makes it comfortable for me down into single F's. If you want some heat to get dressed, keep a propane heater that uses 1 pounders in the tent to...

    Self Rescue / When all else fails...

    We have a TW200 also, and had a couple of Honda's - a 90 and 110. All are good, but the 110 was better than the 90, and TW, at least for us, is better, so I sold the Honda's. The TW is bigger - WB is 5' longer and OA is about 8" longer, it weighs more by about 60 pounds, but neither is that...

    From Freightliner ambulance to RV - we hope!

    Nice build! On the RV leveling jacks, many class A's have only 3 jacks - 2 in the rear and 1 in the front. The front is typically mounted directly behind the front bumper. The rears can be anywhere behind the axle.

    7.3 PSD Van Intake: To resonate, or not to resonate?

    I did the exact same thing to my 2003 for the same reason with the same results...But my girl is only barely broken in at 175k!

    Cargo/pet barrier - anybody use one?

    The reason mine does not extend below the top of the seat is to allow the full use of the cargo area when the seat is folded down for sleeping or other needs. Mine has angle that bolts to steel structure that supports the seat belt mounts. It is very strong.

    Cargo/pet barrier - anybody use one?

    I made my own and it works well for our furr kids. I made bars for side sliding windows also as they love their air! The window guards also give the barrier extra support from forward moving items.

    Carrying extra fuel

    I see a couple issues that could create problems with gas cans: 1) They must be marked as gas cans from the manufacturer 2) Gasoline containers are to be red in color 3) CARB issues 4) Liability - If you have an accident and it can be proven you were negligent using non approved gas cans = Bad...

    Carrying extra fuel

    "as long as it was originally designed for gasoline." That is the problem.

    Custom Class C 4x4, what's it worth?

    It worth what you will pay for it...and what the seller will take for it. It's old, unique and that limits it's appeal to many people. For you it may be perfect, but remember, the seller/builder thought this at one time also! I have a class A motor home currently, and have owned many campers...

    Plastic water tank repair

    Silicone won't stick. Is this a drinking water tank? Be cautious of what you use to seal the tank. Some sealants can leach nasty things into your water... There are kits to install bung fittings that bolt in. The top flange is 1 piece, the inner flange is 2 pieces. The inner and outer sandwich...

    Fording Depth vs. Snorkel Height

    Depends on how much you drive in dusty conditions? Here in the Southwest US, lots of dry, dusty roads, so IMHO, it helps.

    Plastic water tank repair

    Likely it's a "Bung" type molded fitting that sits just proud of the tank surface. In plastic welding, and most welding, you need the correct size rod to the material thickness. If the rod is too thick, you melt the material you're trying to weld. If no other plastic rod, melt the rod first and...

    I just need to boil water for coffee, what stove?

    I use 2 Coleman Peak stoves for my simple camping trips. Cheap, easy to use, small, uses (sips) white gas, or you can find some dual fuel that will also burn unleaded gasoline. Though I prefer Coleman fuel. You can rebuild one in 20 minutes for $20 in parts and they will last longer than we...

    Portable toilet - chemicals and duration

    Another happy camper who uses "Happy Camper!" This stuff works and will not harm septic systems, which is important if you ever want to dump in a private system. Many toilet chemicals contain ingredients that will harm the "Bugs" that breakdown the waste in septic systems.
