On a recent trip I discovered that fuel was spilling out from somewhere on the top of the gas tank when refueling. When using a jerry can there was no spillage. A little research on the net turned up a few instances where the fuel hose was deteriorating near the top close to where it is fitted to the tank, causing leaks when fuelling under pressure. Off to a local RV repair place where it was discovered that in my case it was the vent pipe that went bad. Today I got it back after coughing up 760 bucks. Replaced both the filler and the vent hoses, gasoline rated hoses are really expensive. The biggest chunk of the bill was for labour as the tank had to be dropped to access the old hose connections. Also had lube, oil and filter done.

Very timely post. I just discovered gas leaking from my tank/fill line the last time I filled the tank, yesterday. Haven't had it looked at yet.

Grandparents had to have the same done to their E450. I have issue's on occasion with mine.. don't know if it's the pump or something wrong with RV. Guess if it's not leaking won't worry about it!

It's in and it works... so quite and fast firing compared to my 1994 unit! Ha love it... going to be a long cold winter here in Mammoth.

Installing one of the last Atwood 8525 furnace's... ps the new AFM model that replaces this unit does not fit.

Finished moving the bedroom TV from front BR wall to rear BR Wall. Re-routing cable was a slow process. Now I have to figure out how to cover the 3/4" hole left on the front wall-----------------maybe a blank plate?

We are headed out on our {4th}, annual northern California adventure on Monday {we like to depart on Labor day as everyone else is headed home}. Plan on being gone about a month and doing around 2,500 miles. Will visit friends in Nevada City/Grass Valley, relatives down the road in Penn Valley and attend my best friends daughters wedding out near Pt Reyes before heading back down the California coast.

Took the Nexus down the road to the local Jiffy Lube this morning and had them change the oil {7,000 miles and 10 months since the last change}, I always use pure synthetic and had them replace the original differential fluid {36,000 miles on the coach}, again with pure synthetic. Also had them drain, flush and replace the coolant. Five years of mostly southwest cruising takes its toll on coolant. Aired up the fronts to 60 and the rears to 65 and was good to go.

Using a couple of coupons and showing up early I was the first and only customer. With three guys working while I watched {supervised?}, they got it all done in about 40 minutes and was out the door for $265.

On the ride home I stopped at O'Reilly's auto parts and put in a new engine battery for the V-10. The old one at 5 years was the original and it was definitely time to replace. They had the original Motor Craft as a replacement for $156 with a nice long warranty {I replaced the two group 27 house batteries, also 5 years old last month}.

Can't wait to get back out on the open road for a good long trip. We plan on heading up through Flagstaff continuing on up to Jacob Lake for our first stop. Day two will find us west and north bound up into Utah where we will pick up "The loneliest road in America", highway 50, to cross Nevada. Day three will see us through Reno and up over the Donner Pass dropping down into Nevada City/Grass Valley where the fun really begins...

:B

Took cover off. Getting it ready for a trip after Labor Day.

Cleaned out cupboards to rotate my soup collection, nothing planned for the next few weeks. Glad I did a scrub after last trip, the coach smells fresh and

clean and ready to go.

Cleaned it... wow it's cleaner than it's been for 3 years. And it'll be headed to Texas Monday, not with me driving though. I may start renting it out to a select few of family and friends. Looks like rates around here are around 200 a day... heck for 50 or 100 a day could make the payment and extra's easily!
