- woodworker414ExplorerHello Vallan. I did use Krylon Fusion piant. Got it at Wal Mart. I have use it before. On a stincky slinky carrier I built out of pve pipe and painted to match the mh, and mounted on the top of the rear bumper. It has held up rea well. I did the same carrer on my old class C and 5 years later the paint still looked fine.
Yes, what a dumb idea, a black a/c cover.
Have fun with project. - VallanExplorer

Before putting the shroud back on. painted the black shroud with paint that matches the color of the mh. OOOOO looks so much better. And I think that the a/c may cool a little better now that the black shroud is not soaking up the heat.
I was just complaining to a friend my Coachmen had black AC shrouds and what a stupid idea that was. Your pics look great! What paint did you use to bond to the plastic? I've seen some Krylon Fusion that supposedly works well on plastic but never used it. I'd love to find it in a carmel color that matches the MH. - woodworker414ExplorerGood morning everyone. The black tank dump valve was leaking. UGH.
So I replaced both the black and gray. Had it apart, so why not both valves. Really tight fit to get the new valves installed. Sure will be easier to take care of the black tank. Should not have to look down the drop tube to see if there is enough water in the black tank to get a good flow. YYYYIIIPPPPPEEEEEEE. I looked at the old valve. Only 3 years old but something got in there and caused a small groove in the seal.
Enjot the weekend. - StingrayL82Explorer II

Out of curiosity, did you originally have aluminum siding? How much were the fiberglass panels?
Looks awesome! - 77rollalongExplorerJust been working on putting things back together the last couple of weeks

They fit perfectly, no installation issues whatsoever, and everything is sealed up once again.
- JuzaxadarExplorerI replaced the front calipers and pads on my 2000 Minnie 31C. I did this because a brake pad had disintegrated and fallen off the metal plate that the pad is manufactured on. I'm glad I found it before taking a trip. Not too hard of a brake job, just like a car. While in there I found that there was an odd set of caliper bolts on the passenger side and newer pads. The rears are too much work for me so I'll have them done by a shop.
