Re: Buying a Former Rental Class C. How many of us out there?
I wouldn't spend money on a rebuilt unless a compression test showed numbers below spec or there is an internal failure. Rough running caused by a dirty carb, air filter or? can and should be resolved first before a rebuild should be considered. The hours you describe on the unit doesn't seem excessive.I bet you have a minor problem.472Views0likes0CommentsRe: *UPDATE* problem solved!! Coolant temp on hills GMC 3500
Yep, the Hayden #2786 is the one you need. you will also need a tool to hold the water pump pulley as you unscrew the fan clutch from the water pump pulley. I made a tool to hold the pulley to save a few hard earned dollars. Your welcome to borrow mine if you need too. Randy898Views0likes0CommentsRe: *UPDATE* problem solved!! Coolant temp on hills GMC 3500
update, updated. Took our coach on a recent trip up the Bishop grade where last year my temp hit 236 degrees pulling my boat. This time the Hayden fan clutch engaged at 218 degrees and brought the temp down to 206 degrees and never went higher. Confirmed my hot running on steep grade problem is solved. So for those with a hot running GM 6.0L on hills, go buy the Hayden Severe Duty fan clutch. Randy898Views0likes0CommentsRe: ETowing capacity on 2000 Tioga 23' Ford E350 V8
I have towed both my 3000 lb boat and my 4,000 lb FJ40 Landcruiser behind my 2000 Tioga 22C on the E350 chassis equipped with the Triton 5.4L V8. It did very well for all of the weight and even climbed the Cajon pass at 45 mph but required me to run the engine at 3800 to 4000 rpm to do it. On level ground I could even sometimes use overdrive. Not the best engine for the job in a motorhome, but it always got the job done and is reliable. I disliked the lack of torque from the 5.4, so I traded up to a 6.0L Chevrolet chassis and love the engines torque, even in overdrive.760Views0likes0Comments- 210Views0likes0Comments
Re: RV garage pictures, lets see what ya got
OldRadios wrote: We are tearing down an old two bay garage and building a new one this year. It will have three bays. Two bays for our cars and one for motorcycles and the garden tractor. Negotiating a fourth bay for the RV with the DW. Got lots of room. I'm thinking 30' deep by 40' wide. Maybe a tall overhead on one end away from the house for storing the RV across the back in the winter. Already have a separate shop and separate barn so the new garage will just be for vehicles. We are in the country with a few acres so space, neighbors, etc. is not a problem. Probably why we shy away from RV parks and mostly boondock at remote campsites. Why go on vacation and have neighbors closer to you than at home? Sounds like a cool project. Having covered RV storage at home is a must. post pics of the garage build as it happens. Good luck.344Views0likes0CommentsRe: RV garage pictures, lets see what ya got

The price you pay for covered storage seems fair. Keeping an RV out of direct sun/rain/snow/ice is the key to protecting your investment. We don't live in the country (yet), but do live on a little less than 1/3 of an acre. Currently living in So. Calif. where land is expensive. Hoping to relocate out of state after retirement.345Views0likes0Comments
