Santa Cruz Clam Chowder Festival 2016
All, Mrs OURv & Me had a swell time at the Santa Cruz Clam Chowder Fstival in Feb on the Bordwalk. I made a video to share the adventure with you all, Much Fun !! Take a peek : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nh9zuf5JTqI See you on the road !! Mack Hayward, Ca 2015 Winnebago Vista 31KE 2012 Jeep Wrangler 4 door719Views0likes0CommentsV10 Motor Oil
All, Well, I've done it now. I brought home a new class A. Mine is on the FORD F53 chassis. The oil fill cap & owners manual state it is to use 5W20 motor oil ? WOW! That sure is thin. The car makers have been using thinner & thinner oils to get max MPG out of their vehicles. Well, 5W20 hasn't helped my mpg too much. At 2,100 miles it is making 6.38mpg without my toad. I worry as the V10 is dragging this lead sled up steep mountain grades towing our 4,500lb jeep wrangler I want it to have Sufficient lubrication. I live in California and each trip involves big hills & mountains to climb. So my question is this--> Could I use a heavier oil to make the V10 last longer ?? My Jeep uses 5W30. Is any of you out there running a heavier oil ?? What grade ? What about just an additive like STP ? ALSO, I keep my rig at home. When parked beside my garage should I keep the slide in ? Will it strain the slide mech to keep the room out for months & months & months at a time ?? Curious in Hayward ~Mack12KViews0likes40CommentsNew Motorhome shopping
All, After 10 years in our truck camper, my wife & I agree we're ready for some more room. After alot of searching, we have our eye on 3 rigs Itasca Sunstar 28N OR Winnebago Vista 27N Fleetwood Storm 28F Thor A.C.E. 27.1 On you tube I found an excellent Winnebago factory tour video As well as one from Thor. A while ago I saw one for Fleetwood but now I can't seem to find it. I believe there was a link on a dealer website but, I have been to so many dealer websites I'm getting dizzy. Does anyone Know where I can find this Fleetwood factory tour video ?? ~thanX!! ~Mack2.2KViews0likes7Comments
