Re: B+ motorhomes
I have a problem a mechanic says is prevalent among Chevy Express 3500 based RV's and wonder if anyone else has encountered it. The smell of gasoline in RV house started as whiffs occasionally on short trips. During yesterday’s trip up valley the strong smell of gasoline set off the Propane Detector several times. There is no sign of leakage under or around the RV, and no odor up in the engine compartment. I crawled under the gas tank and traced the gasoline fill-tube up as far as I could reach toward the tank and touched a loose bracket or fitting near the end (felt a hole I assume held a bolt), but couldn’t see or feel anything more. I suspect the junction of the gasoline fill-tube and the gas tank is the culprit. The stop and go traffic may have gotten the gasoline sloshing around enough to spill out while moving but nothing showing up underneath when stopped. I imagine I’ll have to empty and drop the gas tank unless someone knows a tricky way to fix that junction I can’t see. Thanx, Gary301Views0likes0CommentsRe: B+ motorhomes
Time for new tires. I was thinking of putting Michelin LTX M/S2 on but nearest size to present LT225/75/16 D's is LT245/75/16 E. Just wondering how these might fit on duals on rear. There seems to be a good amount of space between the duallies now. Anyone have experience with this size tires on rear? :@ Thanks, Gary585Views0likes0CommentsRe: B+ motorhomes
After reading new posts I had to go check out my jack-knife couch for supports. None that I could see on ours, but we have a leather couch, don't know if that makes a difference. We just got back from a 2700 mile trip to San Francisco and northern coastline. I noticed after a lo-ong day of driving home that the batteries were not charged by the alternator (batteries read 11.8 volts after driving 14 hours!) I'm going to change my converter out for a PD9245 since it's been acting funny, I wonder if that would affect the alternator charging? Doesn't seem like it to me. Any other suggestions for a cause? And one more question: anyone know a good source for Bilstien shocks? :@551Views0likes0CommentsRe: B+ motorhomes
happyjack2: I did add a bug shield/deflector to the front edge of the hood. It's a DrawTite 3" plastic strip that snaps on to the hood. I haven't noticed much difference in the amount of bugs on my windshield much less up top on that "hard to reach" area. I do like the way it looks, however. :W Gary311Views0likes0Comments
