RV and Camper Rule of Ethics
Here is the PDF version of the Rules I found. I retyped it and dropped in the original logo below. CODE%20OF%20ETHICS.pdf
It's in PDF format for printing. Enjoy!

Got a new and improved blog as they say....
This one's been active since we got the LH2 (an Allegro '87 class A) and I've been working the bugs out of her. Fun, excitement, travel, drama it's all there.
Take a look and laugh and cry at the stuff we go through.
Have a good one and all the best to you....

I'm a babe in the woods, yet, but we've already taken the camper for one trip that was successful in spite of all the provincial campgrounds closing over COVID19. Our Econoline camper seems mechanically sound. The one issue that requires attention in the ceiling over the upper bunk is sagging enough to make it claustrophobic up there. So some time this week I need to sneak a peak inside the ceiling to know which of the various youtube solutions I should use!

Daniel Long, found a forum that contradicts my "Neutral Safety Switch" post. Stating it is found on the lower column, assumed to be the steering column.

Hey Chester, thanks for the chat this am over coffee! Anything that generates a auto parts shopping list is okay with me! Need a new chainsaw, too but that's another story....

Just cranks fine (until battery is dead) but no spark, so it's rooted in the distributor/coil area. The parts aren't bad it's just a shame that after only a year and 900 miles (okay a good deal of idling to keep the girl in shape during winter) those parts are going.
I'm going to try and new cap and see if that clears it up. I'm not looking forward to a pickup coil, that involves partial disassembly of the unit. I checked the ignition switch, it's working as it should.
