Re: RV trip to Squim WA
Take any route you want to Washington and you want to connect with interstate "5"... if you are using I-90 from Montana and arrive on the western side of the state and you want to avoid Seattle and Ferry rides, Take exit for hwy 18 (Auburn-Tacoma) and head to Tacoma... you will enter I-5 South bound and travel about 10 miles before taking hwy 16 to Bremerton...then to hwy #3 to Port Angeles/ Squim.. If entering West Wash from the South, find Interstate "5"... head north... If you want a scenic but winding 2 lane road, at Olympia, turn west and head towards the Pacific Ocean... about 10 miles, take the Shelton exit,, then follow the sign to Port Angeles.... or continue on I-5 to Tacoma and take the Hwy 16 exit to Gig Harbor/ Bremerton. Happy traveling... 2500 plus miles.... I know as my son lives in Fayetteville...427Views0likes0CommentsRe: Brake problem
I doubt if they took the brake pads out.... most likely "eye balled" the pads... I had this happen to me several years ago... I pulled into a camp ground with a older MH and had a brake pedal problem... I discovered one of my front wheels was hot,after cooling, the brake pedal worked great. No problems with my return trip home. .... next outing, after traveling about 5 miles in town traffic and using my brakes several times, the pedal went to the floor... the wheel was hot... took MH to brake shop and discovered caliper was not releasing all the way and was dragging the disc pad on the disk..overheated the caliper & brake fluid.... changed out the calipers and no other problems... Just giving you my expereience...376Views0likes0CommentsRe: Brake problem
did you check the wheels (not tires) for heat... was the wheel hot (front wheel)... a caliper might have hung up, dragging on the disk and over heating the brake fluid causing a brake failure.... with the brake pedal going to or near the floor when applied... returns to normal when cooled off...serious proplem if not addressed...376Views0likes0CommentsRe: Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?
