Re: Help with fuel transfer valve
I have an in-bed auxiliary tank. Initially I bought the kit with the hose, manual valve and tee with a 'rollover valve'. This setup worked on my 2010 Chevy for the most part but occasionally would overfill the main tank, I never figured out why and lost fuel more than once, eventually causing me to take out the roll-over valve and just use the manual valve for control. That worked fine except that we'd pull over for lunch and to open the valve and if I didn't open the valve first we'd get back on the road, realise the mistake, and have to stop again, sigh. I got a new truck and when I moved the tank to it I installed a 100% duty 12V solenoid valve with the power switch in the cab. The switch is illuminated when on and is in line of sight and is also hooked up to accessory power so if I forget to turn it off at destination it won't drain the aux tank onto the ground. My previous truck would sometimes detect that the fuel level wasn't dropping and the tank level indicator would drop to zero, resetting on cycling the ignition key to off. This hasn't happened with the new truck. HTH, Tim865Views0likes0CommentsRe: Windscreen Protection
It won't help with the rock chips, though those too can be repaired, but you can use the steel wool method of 'reviving' your hazy windshield, there's multiple YouTube videos on the process, it's not difficult.

I very much agree with Roy's comments, save for the leaves part; my tank is fully under my tonneau cover. I too have a steel tank but don't have an additional water filter and haven't had any water in fuel issues, even after leaving it empty all winter. I put an inline electric fuel shutoff with a dash switch for easier control of when the auxiliary flows into the main.419Views0likes0CommentsFresh water tank leak
Hi, A friend's '97 Pleasure-Way has a leaky fresh water tank at the drain fitting. I tried a YouTube fix of wrapping thread around the broken fitting and encasing that in epoxy but no joy; still drips, just less. So, wondering if there are replacement tanks available (a quick Google search came up empty) or if anybody has some ideas on how to implement a permanent fix.1.9KViews0likes6CommentsRe: Back Up Camera
I got this a couple of weeks back: https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Reverse-Vehicles-Waterproof-Andriod/dp/B084TJRMLY/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=Podofo+Wireless+Backup+Camera&qid=1596156807&sr=8-4 Works quite well, surprisingly, just have to extend the antenna as it drops the WiFi connection sometimes.363Views0likes0Comments
