I've been told that the slide has to be either all the way out or all the way in for it not to leak(You guys tell me if that's true) I have no experience with slides. The Baystar was leaking where the front cap meets the roof. It had a beautiful soft white leather dash and it was painful just to see a puddle of water on it, but a beautiful rig otherwise. I would think it was just a fluke. Are you sure it wasn't the windshield that had a leak. As that is quite common.417Views0likes0CommentsI-10 Westbound through Phoenix
We are heading to the Good Sam Rally at the Phoenix International Raceway on thursday morninig and have heard that there is a lot of road construction with detours on the I 10 shortly before the turnoff to the Raceway. Anyone having up to date info would be appreciated, my info packet says we are to use I-10 to go to the track. Thanks Trap1.2KViews0likes6CommentsRe: Coast to Coast memeber thoughts on being a member?
We have C2C and use it whenever possible. The point system is a little confusing but a point is a penny, thus 1,ooo points equals $10.oo. We spend a lot of time in California and Arizona in the winter and are able to use it a lot. Is it a perfect system no. But if you take advantage of it and use it you will save a lot of money. We just spent a week in Yuma for $10.oo a night. We might be able to find monthly site for close to the same nightly price, but other than Algodones and the dental work. We just don't like Yuma that much. Is it a perfect system no, can you live within the C2C system yes but we sure wouldn't want to. But it's not hard to use it more than enought to save some good coin.0Views0likes0CommentsRe: Over Nighting In Cranbrook, BC

Interesting..... Have to admit that surprised us also. In this case the old Canadian Tire Lot worked out better cause it was for 2 nights. But definitely was surprised. Not sure if that was just an employee or there is a change in policy coming.759Views0likes0CommentsRe: Quartzite or Florida RV Show

Just a quick update, when we got to the Superstore and asked for permissin to spend the night, they told us they we're trying to discourage it, but did not say no. We ended up staying 2 nights in old and empty Canadian Tire lot, cause of some weather moving in the next day. We would have stayed at the Superstore lot if it would have been for 1 night. Once again thanks everyone.760Views0likes0CommentsRe: "New" maintainence item for Onan Quiet Diesel
larry cad wrote: I decided it was time to perform maintenance on my Onan and went out and got fuel filter, oil filter, and air filter, as well as oil and even radiator coolant. I also went to Youtube and watched a video on how to do it all when I came across an item I had never worked on before. I found out there is a "spark arrestor" mounted into the exhaust system that has to be cleaned. It is located up inside the genny and you need an 11/16" socket mounted on a very long extension. The procedure is to unscrew the 11/16" "plug" which allows soot to come out. Then you fire up the genny and run it under a heavy load like the A/C and microwave for a few minutes. Then you screw the plug back in and the cleaning is done. Since this is my first time working on the genny, I have not done this before and not sure other facilities have done it either. I also don't know what the down side is to not cleaning this item. Anyway, it is now done and no knuckles busted. As an aside, the last time my genny was serviced, was at Cummins Atlantic in Charleston SC. There is a metal plate which covers the air cleaner filter and apparently Cummins Atlantic decided to leave the cover on the old air cleaner element and not install it onto the new one. I had to buy a new one for about $18. The net effect of this was to allow a whole lot of dirty air to enter into the open top of the filter. I am not happy about this! If it's an Onan 10kw the it will be a brass plug requiring an 11/16" socket. Do not use a 12 point socket as it can easily round the head (found that out the hard way) mine was in so tight that I ended up having to soak the bolt for a week spraying penetrating oil on it daily. It came out fairly easy then. My gennie had 250 hours on it and there was not a lot of carbon that came out of there. Also suggest using anti-seize when you re install the bolt.361Views0likes0Comments
