Yep on the crumbling fuse holders!! Wow, how they become brittle after 30 years....I also noticed that the remote harness for the drivers genset display was "spliced" as well. Guess I have a few more things to update as do…"

I was finally able to get the Beasty home today. It was quite a fight getting out of the neighbors yard. It had sunk into the dirt and with it not running it took all my Yukon had to pull it out. We…Continue

Battery info please

Hi all. I am finally preparing to drag the beasty home. I thought I would try to put a charge on the dad battery and was a bit confused when I really looked. It has a battery on the passenger side…Continue

"Oh yea, I had planned on replacing everything rubber but the fuel line escaped my thoughts. I plan on rebuilding the carb this week if the kit arrives from Holley tomorrow like the tracking info says. Then the tune up, trans filter and fluid change,…"
"Hi Daniel. Thanks for the help. Yea it is an Onan. Lots of fun troubleshooting. It ended up being a bad connection on the oil pressure switch to relay spade lug. Also had a bad one on the start/stop button. It wouldn't stop until I cleaned that…"
"Ah, the struggles of old rubber bits on an RV! My advice is to get under there, check out any old rubber lines and connections and just replace them. Yes, fuel hoses have gotten more expensive but not as much as an RV fire on the side of the road.…"
Fun with gas..
No pictures but had a ton o fun with gas today. Got the beasty running enough to get to the gas station 3 blocks away. Filled up and when I was getting back in to drive home I see a stream of gas pouring out of 3 places. So, not sure what to do I jumped in and drove home with fingers crossed that none was on th exhaust. Made it home, leapt out, ok wallered, and looked under and......nothing. ??? What? So I got the jack and had my son crawl under to see what he could see and he found the gas…See More

"Yea, it's nasty. Maybe since Tina is done tearing out I can get her to come to IA to tear mine out. HAHA"
"Great work Tina. Nice find on the pop up. So you are close to the rebuilding part? No more rear out? I can't wait to see what you do."
"Hi Timothy,
I have no idea how to answer your post but wanted to chime in because I also have these questions. I will say I think being safe vs being curtious takes precedence. I have always tried to move over if possible in my car but if I…"
"Great looking camper
I have a question for more experienced posters here. How do you get pictures to show up in your posts. Mine come like this one as an attachment. The only time mine show is when I post pictures to my page. Sorry to high jack…"
"Dude, glad to hear your ok. I have heart disease and know what you went through. I know it will be hard to keep doing what the doctor says after a week or two but be a good boy and listen. I enjoy your posts here and look forward to reading them for…"
"Wel I spent this soupy humid day playing with the carburetor. The front float was set way too high so it was dumping fuel them all the time. That is why it was running so fast and rich I think. After the float was adjusted it would stay running but…"

"I pondered the change from 16.5 to 16" and I may still do it some day. The thing about the transforce is it is sold by a lot of dealers and not just a Firestone tire store also they are a common tire found on large commercial box trucks to…"

"Sticking with the 16.5 tires is fine right now when you are safe at home and have all the time in the world to wait. But what is going to happen when you are alongside the road with a ruined tire that no one within 500 miles has in stock? I…"

"I would stay with the 16.5s if you look onthe internet for the firestone transforce
You could save 3 or 4 hundred dollars "

New Bee first post to say hi.
Hi all, I am a newbee. I found this website while searching for general repairs and rebuilds of mid 80's class C's. I don't have mine yet but will in a couple weeks. My neighbor has an old searay boat with an inboard motor that he wants me to fix. For fixing it he is going to give me his 1983? ( I think) rockwood Ina ford chassis. I will be taking lots of pictures to document the rebuild for my purposes and will share them here if everyone would like to see them. Anyway I plan on picking your… Continue

- Yes, we painted it. It wasnt hard at all. Watched a couple of you tube videos first, for some tips that were very helpful. It was very satisfying to see the difference (profile pix shows the "before"). Thanks, yes, the birch in this trailer is amazing! Re-shallac'd it. Not hard either. Again, you tube videos are very helpful (dont remember which ones).
