Hello, folks,I have a 30-lb. propane cylinder that has a bad gasket/O-ring that is causing a leak. This is the seal that the nose of the fitting presses into and seals against. (It is the newer OPD valve on the cylinder, with an Acme fitting on the ...
Hello, folks,I am planning to rewire my travel trailer axle brakes using a 12/2 commercial brake wire such as this:https://www.nassaunationalcable.com/12-gauge-2-conductor-duplex-brake-cable.htmlI'm going to run a separate wire from a junction at the...
It may be slightly OT here, but it's a "Tech Issue" and I'm betting someone here can help...I put a galvanized metal (the old 5-V "tin" roof) on our farmhouse when we moved into it almost 35 years ago. I've painted it a couple times since with an alk...

Thanks, Agesilaus. Like you say, I don't want to cobble this up since the risk is high. But yes, I am a big fan of the true "hardware stores" where you can buy just about any kind of oddball part you might need. Any RVer should be familiar with their...
