Re: How many of us are there? Owners of Dodge based RV's?
Jsussex... Sun will kill the Johnson's.... use silicone. Do you know what brand dump valves you have? Most have the handle stem enter through a recess-mounted rectangular plate that's held by 4 ss screws.... the whole valve assy then just pulls right out (AFTER dumping and flushign with bleach!!! lol). You'll see an o-ring around the plate... good idea to replace it. Pay CLOSE attention to the paddles as they come out... they look the same, but have an in/out side. Clean the valve paddles and stems real well, then coat 'em with silicone grease. For maintenance, once in a while, wipe the stems clean while they're open for dumping and spray with silicone... you'll never have a sticky valve again. Good luck....

Hello all. My name is Andy Illes, proud owner of a 21' 1976 Dodge Sportsman based American Clipper Class C, and the Conkles turned me on to this site through their post about you in our AmericanClipper.com website, which you're all welcome to visit. Nearly all Clips (built from '75 to '81) ride on a Dodge Sportsman chassis, with a few Chevys after Dodges got scarce. Most are 21', a few 24's, and are all-fiberglass and extremely well built, so most are still on the road and in use. The Dodges have either 360s (mine) or 440s - all with T-727s, while the Chevys are 400s. Like I see here with you guys, most of us do our own maintenance. Glad I found this site, and hope to both gain and contribute info.297Views0likes0Comments
