Tip: To ease the tool into the hole and break up some of the crud in the threads, I use acid, usually phosphoric. The cheapest source of phosphoric I've found is Water Softener Cleaner, green liquid in a bottle. Spray or brush it on the threads prior to mechanical thread chasing.
Awesome tip! I've never heard of using acid to clenup the threads. This is why I love this forum!

RV,
You are getting a pretty extensive video library compiled. You may get to a point to be like Mark Polk. He gets all kinds of sponsorship and free RV components because of his viewership.
Best of luck and keep the vids coming. Good stuff.
Thanks for the encouraging words! I've been doing the videos for fun and to hopefully help, encourage, or at least amuse others along the way. At this point I set some goals for myself and they all revolve around producing better/more helpful content.
I am little shocked that my wife hasn't slapped my hand yet when it comes to the ongoing costs of making the videos, but I guess she considers it a hobby. I like to drop hints for better equipment, but I don't know if she's ignoring me or buying into my madness;) I'm sure those sponsorship's help when it comes to making better videos, but I don't think hocking some products for a little $$ sounds too fun. I guess there's give and take there.
