Re: Fixing water damage on the old Dodge (pics)

I don't want the floor sagging like that again. ;) When I first got my Winnie and drove it, I heard a clunking noise while going over bumps. Crawled under it and found the propane tank only hanging by one small piece of a weld. All the rest was broken. I built two straps and bolted it to the floor. Noise gone tank has been there now for seven more years. By the way, one heck of a project you got going there. Keep it coming and you should be happy with the finished project. If it were mine, I would completely eliminate that front hang over and bring the front right down to the windsheild. Carl320Views0likes0CommentsRe: 3000W Chinese Gensets Info.
I have spent the last hour looking at all the comments on this thread and still have not seen the original Generator the original posteer mentioned. I did see one that looked just like the ones I used to work on, that Sears sold.. How about the original poster produce the picture of the one he or she is positing about????Carl303Views0likes0CommentsRe: Anyone make a mistake buying first MH ?
If I had it to do over, I would rent one for a trip and see what there is about it that I didn't like. For one, I will never buy another one with a rear side bed. Second, I would take the motorhome, even if I had to put down a non refundable deposit to a mechanic and get their opinion. I decided to remodel my present motorhome beginning with a new engine and then went from there. I am just about done with the interior. No matter how much money I put into this one, I still have a 1984 vehicle and I will never get the money I have invested out of it. Do your research before you plunk your money down.544Views0likes0CommentsRe: Anyone make a mistake buying first MH ?
Doller 98. Take some advise from an old man who may never again see the open road..Rent one, go on a trip and see what you think. If you like the experience, rent one twice as large and take a trip. If you are not happy with the second rental, rent one twice as large. If still not happy...Buy the most expensive four-door car or airplane you can afford and book hotel/motels for your trips. With the cost of gas and other fuels, it is cheaper to book hotel rooms. It is not as much fun and you will not meet the wonderful people I have met. It all depends on what you are looking for out of life. Whatever you do, when things don't go the way you expected, don't blame your significant other. Just have fun and enjoy.540Views0likes0Comments
