Re: waxing to increase mpg
On our recent trip of over 500 miles of towing (round trip) I got the best mileage ever, 11.3 mpg. 2007 Tahoe 5.3L pulling about a 4200 lb trailer and I just waxed the trailer before leaving. Now I don't think that waxing increased my MPG's but I use full synthetic oil, a K&N filter, I use a Top Tier fuel and, most important, I drove at 58 mph with Tow Haul turned on and not in Overdrive and I think all of that helped increase my MPG's.307Views0likes0CommentsRe: Kit to add auto-fan to air conditioner
popeyemth, this is fantastic. I have wanted to do this mod for some time but the other mods I have seen required more work. I plan to order the relay and install this summer. Thank you very much! Since this mod is a couple of months away from me doing, would you know if; Will this affect the how the furnace works? I have a heat strip in the AC unit do you think I will still be able to use it?555Views0likes0CommentsIPhone 5C help
I have an Iphone 5C and an old (2006) HP Laptop. Is there a cable that goes from the Iphone to the laptop that I can use to watch movies on the laptop off of the Iphone? I can down load movies from Comcast, but because I didn’t use ITunes using the USB/Lightning cable the movie doesn’t show up on Itunes…..if that makes sense. I do not have a HDMI connection. I have a 15 pin (female) DB monitor connection on the laptop and a S Video connection. Any ideas? Thanks640Views0likes2CommentsRe: question about repair for rotten bunk door
I had a similar problem. If I did it correctly you can look at the pics of my repair (there should be an easier way to post pics...this is an pain). I used a razor knife and cut out the rotted wood (really just luan plywood) dried it out using a heat gun, careful not to overheat. Then I replaced to foam covered it with a pices of gelcoated piece I got at Micheal's craft store and pop riveted in two pieces of aluminum strips to hold the new piece in place and glued down the velcro strip. I did the repair before I stored the camper for the season. I also re-caulked the door and tighten up the clamps the seal the door. I plan to replace the seals this year. I find out if it leaked when I pull it out of storage in June. http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m140/JimChow/PICT0169_zps2204871d.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m140/JimChow/PICT0170_zps911cce51.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m140/JimChow/PICT0171_zpsdcb37051.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m140/JimChow/PICT0174_zps41607524.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m140/JimChow/PICT0177_zpsc3707133.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m140/JimChow/PICT0184_zps0fd5cd7a.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m140/JimChow/PICT0186_zpse4463212.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m140/JimChow/PICT0188_zps9329d19a.jpg382Views0likes0Comments
