Just wondering how everyone's doing? Did everyone have a good summer? We are looking forward to doing some 'fall' camping.
Good to see someones posted, everyone must be out enjoying the summer. We're leaving Wednesday for Yellowstone, Glacier NP, Mt Rushmore and meandering our way towards Albuquerque to the Ballon Fiesta again for our 5th year with some good friends. Hope you all had fun!
Balloon Fiesta sounds great. A couple of years ago we when on our 1st hot air balloon ride. It was AWESOME! We're hoping to visit the places you just mentioned in a few years as soon as DH retires, and we get all our ducks in a row. Maybe we'll see you there.
Have fun!!
We had been told that it was a once in a lifetime experience.... five years later... it still keeps us coming back. Your time will come! - Meme_RayExplorer

Subject: squeaks and rattles
Jim: Some of our mirrors have actually come loose by themselves. Luckily we noticed each time before they fell off and broke. I have reattached them using the white spongy 2 way wall mounting tape. So far this fix has worked very well. One of our repair jobs has been in place over 2 years now. We also had a big problem with our dinette booth table squeaking and we solved this problem by buying a piece of clear flexable tubing large enough to slit it lengthwise and slip it over the end of the table that rests against the wall. The tubing provided just enough cushion to fill up the extra space between the wall and the table to stop the squeaking and it looks good enough to leave it on all the time.
We now have some new squeaks in our dash and have not yet figured out what to do about that yet. Does anyone have any suggestions?

After 5.5 years and 70K miles, we have lots of squeaks and rattles, especially when driving on our awful California highways. Lots of the noise seems to be coming from the mirrors mounted on the kitchen slideout walls (we have the 36B model). Has anyone removed and remounted these mirrors? Any advise about how to quiet them and other noises?
I get a lot of noise on mine in the driver compartment area, its a series of screws in the below the A-pillars that you can access by lifting the hood. These screws go through a metal bracket, half the time they have backed themselves out or have fallen out all together. Last service I requested that they use lock-tite on them but they are squeeking again, so I'm going to have to check and see if they did what they said they did or not. I'm a little hesitant to go to the red lock-tite, but if these things don't stop coming loose.... - bricotExplorer

We remounted our kitchen mirror shortly after we got the MH new in 05. We used different kind of mounts, just common ones, and also a little mirror adhisive on the back. No more rattles. - Jim_BakkerExplorerSubject: squeaks and rattles

Well good for you, enjoy. Were having a new driveway put in so we will be stuck at home for another 3 weeks before we can drive the MH on it. Dam, can't put the drive way off any longer.
What a great trip for this tine of year for you. Lucky you. - Fyr_guyExplorer

Hope you all had fun! - Don_D_ExplorerThanks everyone for all you input and help. With that I put on a new carburetor ($190) and all is well now. The $190 will help remond me to exercise the generator more often. Thanks again.
