Re: Access to kitchen sink leak
Many of those cupboards have a false floor in them. It will require removing everything from the cupboard and checking for screws or fasteners that hold the floor in place. Most of ours are held in place by a couple of screws and then the weight of the contents does the rest. Most are two piece to make them easier to remove and replace. Hope this may help.

A suggestion if your going to go the route of screws and nuts. if it were me, I look for the size you need in Stainless Steel. The big box lumber yards and Ace and True Value hardware stores have a variety of sizes with washers to go with them and at a reasonable price. Even plated screws will soon rust where the stainless will stay clean and rust free. Just my thoughts. Either method should work though. Hope this may help, happy trails Bert.272Views0likes0CommentsRe: Firestone tires
At the time I purchased mine, I did not need steer tires. The dealer recommended that when the time came, I use a long haul tire for the steer tires that would offer a little more flex and better ride. Guess I was wrong about the FS561 not being a steer tire. I am, however, satisfied with them in the position that I have them. Hope this may help, Happy Trails Bert682Views0likes0CommentsRe: Firestone tires
I am using the FS 561 on the drives and tag in an 11R-22.5 size. we have had them on for 2 years now with no difficulty at all. They are not a steer tire from what I recall but have thought about using the corresponding steer tire in a Firestone when time to replace the fronts. I am thinking about a long haul 295-80-22.5 when the time comes. Will look at Firestone and maybe Continental through the FMCA discount or a Toyo, but there is no Toyo dealer near me.

We tow a 2015 Chev Malibu and it works well for us. We had a 2010 Malibu before that and neither have had any problems towing. Start it for a couple of minutes, put in neutral, shut off and disconnect 1 fuse (I have a switch that makes that disconnect) and ready to go. Now if you really want something different, a 2012 13 14 Dodge Challenger RT or SRT with the 6 speed manual transmission and V8 Hemi is tow-able 4 down also. When you get where your going, your towed will get you around fast and lots of fun to drive. Hope this may help Happy trails Bert.750Views0likes0CommentsRe: Eze Gutter, how to re-adhere? Double stick foam adhesive?
You might want to look at a high quality automotive trim double sided tape from someplace like NAPA. Another thing to look at may be a auto trim adhesive, there are some pretty strong ones out there that are multi purpose. But they may not remove very well. Around the curve of the window is a very difficult place to hold that, I have also tried to do that with limited success. Maybe a little heat to help it hold its form in the curve might help a little. Hope this may help. Happy Trails Bert188Views0likes0CommentsRe: Reintroduction, shopping for a 10 to 20 y-o DP
I second the American coach line from those years, just make sure it has the fiberglass roof. You will also find Monaco/Holiday Rambler upper end coaches out there that were of high quality and with some decent prices today. From the 2000 up to about the 2008 were well built. In 07 or 08 they went up to the next level of smog devices and some deem them less desirable from what I read. Newmar made some very good coaches in that time period also. Something else to look at.

Yes, that black thing is the sensor. Question? Are you changing them because you do not like them or because they do not work? They can be removed for careful cleaning as they do have a very thin clear membrane in them. Ours are accurate and I have cleaned them about every two years. Once calibrated, they do the job on all three tanks. If you have a bad one, they can be purchased direct from he manufacturer cheapest at www.catconproducts.com and look for RV-Sensor. Catcon may also have a level gauge available that could be installed right in the bay. Just another thought. Hope this may help a little. Have a great day Dennis.
