This is always a fun thread to watch in other forums, so I thought I'd start one here.

Never could get a new starter for my GenRac genney. However, got the old one rebuilt for $45.00 -- works like a charm now! Even starts on the 2nd try. No more grinding the starter to death trying to start it, WOW! Going camping this comming weekend to celebrate. I'll have toast in the morning! LIFE IS GOOD....

Check starters for the Riding Lawn Mowers, I bet you can find one at a good price that is the same as your generators starter, Just a lot cheaper, Also the plastic gear on the tip of the starters is the same as a lawn mower and the same Just Cheaper in cost.

Wow, CONGRATULATIONS, CbtEngr1 !!! That's awesome! Enjoy! And welcome to the Class C Forum!

I finally get to contribute to the thread! We picked up our new 2012 Itasca Impulse 31CP Silver Saturday.

Fixed an air line leak at the connectors for both the rear air bags. They weren't pushed in far enough. Max'd out the air in all the tires including the spare. Loaded up new tools.

Climbed up and scrubbed the roof. Used black streak remover. Got a lot of the accumulated dirt off. But, found that it's most probably time to get the roof reconditioned. Lots of little black spots on it and some cracking of the sealant around vent covers, etc. But, checked inside and cannot see any leaked water. So, It's just a matter of preventive maintenance.

made and installed a new rear bumper out of a 4-3/4" square pvc fencepost cover. aluminum angle brackets hold it to the factory bumper brackets, and another piece of aluminum angle covers the top of the bumper as a step up to the ladder.

[rgrcpa]

Cleaning it up from our last extended trip. Inside. Rinsed out hoses. Next, I have to do the roof. It's disgustingly dirty.

Yeah..I am not excited about that part of RV maintenance. :S

*Today I finished the drivers side lower 3ft area by masking,prepping, and painting my 4 stripes.
-so now the rear, front and drivers side lower 3ft is repainted.
**Now onto the passengers side!!
-When that is completed, then onto the rest of the upper portions with a std. champagne metallic paint.
Fun stuff!!








I would love to see pics as well if you have some....

[W4MBG]

made a gen(eric)-turi. i used a plastic downspout, two plastic downspout straps, a plastic downspout elbow (at the top), four small suction cups, and 1 1-1/4" steel conduit sweep (large radius elbow).

[TyroneandGladys]

Sanitized the water system,refilled fresh water tank with filtered water. Made leveling blocks, quantity 8, from 2x10's with recessed holes in top pieces for carriage bolts. And finally reorganized storage areas.

On your slinky did you leave your valves open while hooked up?
You should not leave them open only open them as your tanks fill up or you end up with a mess in your slinky.:E

I left the blackwater open, but had a p-trap in the slinky before the ramp to the hole.... kept the grey water closed and dumped it to wash the pipe out. Took out the p-trap (workin the "stuff" towards the sewer). Closed the valves and ran lots of water in both tanks and dumped them again, black then grey.... with LOTS of fresh water...
since the water was still hooked up.
I feel i got her pretty clean and all, just seemed to take a while.
