Re: Holiday Rambler anyone?

He makes it very clear he’s already decided on a gas coach….And yet still, some can’t help but make it into a gas vs diesel thing right off the bat. We really need to try harder to focus on answering the question being asked, and quit hijacking threads to the same age old debates.

I had an 85 Allegro that had that 454 in it and I rebuilt that carburetor myself and I would bet that the accelerated pumps not functioning properly or the fuel pumps failing my electric fuel pump was on the driver side frame. take the breather off get a flashlight look down the primaries and make sure there is a lot of gas pouring in when you floor it without the engine running. Many years ago I would exchange a carburetor for a rebuilt one many times have to do that twice to get a good one.693Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tiers of Motohomes
To answer example question. 1. Pace Arrow 2 Southwind 3. Bounder & Bounder Classic 4. Flair. But understand all of these were built at the same plant. Discovery is a diesel and the others are gas engines. As far as manufactures build quality do a search on this website that has been discussed a lot.906Views0likes0CommentsRe: Do you always need an RV Park ? .....
I rarely get involved in these conversations but this one hit home for me. Because when I started in 1978 with my first of 5 class A's the reason I did was because it was self contained and I could be out in the wilderness for a week or more and not worry about negatively affecting in the enviroment. And what I was doing out there was fishing, hunting, dirt biking, sandrailing, fourwheeling and just relaxing. And guess what I didn't pay a dime to be there. Now move forward 20 yrs. my first trip around the United States I stayed in a RV park every night for several months. Which was more enjoyable for me was the first twenty. What iritates me now is a Class A is designed and sold with a minimum of 7 days of self containment and now cities and counties are trying to force me to stay in their RV parks. I do not mind paying for dry parking at all but why should I have to pay somebody for what I already have a toilet and shower with tanks a generator, refrigerator, stove, microwave, solar power so what's the point of having all this? I guess I understand this new generation of RV'ers that never lived in that era before RV parks but why force all us in that direction? I'm done!506Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tires - The 10 Year Rule

Had it been a front wheel it could have easily killed us. I'll never own a tire older than 5 years again. My dear departed dad used to tell me "Son, any problem that can be solved by money is NOT a problem... If you have the money." Just saying. Good luck. :C Desert Captain, Did your insurance cover a large percentage of that damage?331Views0likes0CommentsRe: Engine miss in hard rain
That has happened to me twice in very hard rain. Eventually I pulled over to wait out the rain and then everything was fine. I believe there was a fix mentioned on here a couple of times that they turned that big air inlet under the hood around and that fixed the problem.212Views0likes0Comments
