- TyroneandGladysExplorerWas packed and on the way for a weekend at the lake when the generator started running rough and cutting out. Turned around went back home to find out that the o rings in the fuel pump are breaking down and those pieces are fouling the carburetor. New fuel pump be here Monday or Tuesday. Durn Onan that fuel pump only lasted 25 years:D
And can not believe that a repair shop would not have a fuel pump for a 25 year old generator on hand :B All kidding aside the shop we use in Mesa is great knowing that we were trying to get away had a mechanic on it in less than 30 minutes of us getting there and then when they checked and did not have the pump called around and told us of a shop 50 miles away that did have the pump in stock and if we wanted to go there that the other shop would put it on for us today. Great customer service from MESA PRECISION MOTOR SERVICE - bukhrnNomadPacking it for a 4 day trip to the Blue Ridge Mountains, unfortunately, it's only 4 days, but it beats sitting at home.:B
- woodworker414ExplorerGood evening to everyone. Well I gave the C a bath and a good wax job before winter sets in. Put a a/c recp in the streetside rear storage compartment. Really wanted one in that compartment, beccause thats where I kept the battery operated drill motor,which I use to raise and lower the jacks. In trying to find out where to get power, got to looking at the outside recp on the curbside, the recp was in line with the back wall of the shower, and that wall has a recp up about half way for the tv shelf which we don't use, so we tap into that and got to looking at the wire chase that runs along the outside wall next to the bed. It was 4' long, 8" high, 10" deep, well most of it was empth. So out it came,the rebuilt one is 15", 5" high, 5" deep. A whole lot more foot room now. A piece of home made of baseboard to cover the wire up and the job was done. Open the one on the streetside and to much stuff in it to do the same job on that side.

- rgrcpaExplorerWho wooda thunk that semi-retirement would be so busy???
It's SO busy that it appears we won't be able to take a trip until Thanksgiving!!! I washed it (that's a mean job) and it's getting harder every time I do it. We reluctantly buttoned it up until Thanksgiving. We were hoping for a long weekend mountain trip to Arkansas but the cards ain't laying that way. - Rich_PanganibanExplorer

Just got back from 6 months in western Pennsylvania and will only be using it for day trips for a few months. After we get caught up with visiting the local family we'd like to take a few short trips.
We'll be driving cross country again in the spring.
