Road Safety: Now that spring is just around the corner and the weather is getting warmer, out thoughts start lingering more and more on getting our RV's out and enjoying them again. As a professional truck driver I have a request that I would like to pass on to both the new hands and the old timers out there BE SAFE! I know most of us have older rigs and we have to baby them a bit. If you are not able to maintain the flow of traffic, PLEASE get in the right lane. Most states have truck…

I have what I believe is a little dipper, but Im not 100% sure. Based on what little info I can find on the net,it looks like one. The interior pics I ve found look like mine before I gutted it. From what Ive read they were built in Azusa Ca by northwest coach at Gates cabinet. Mine does have a tag on the side of it that confirms this info, but I dont know if the little dipper was all they made or not. I cant find a VIN on it either. It does have a serial # but it doesnt help me any. I would…

Quick notes for surviving a winter blast while Rving. Foam tube wrap and heat tape on the water line, (if connected to city water). Full skirting around the RV, and a fiberglass insulation piece taped or wired to the bottom and sides of the holding tanks. If you have an exterior drain valve, wrap it also.With windows, have that silver reflective cover that's used to keep the sun off your dash of a car, but face the silver inwards. Use small towels also along the bottom of the windows to…

A good friend, rolled down from Texarkana down here to Waco Texas.

He has a 2011 Skyline Nomad bumper pull 26 footer.

Basically the lower end of Skylines models but it started off serving its purpose.THEN,,, everything that could possibly go wrong DID.

This is a case of the so called Domino effect, referring to Murphy's Law.

His break away safety switch shorted out,,, locking the brakes up for a good quarter miles,,, and then finally releasing,letting the wheels…

As I continue to rework my camper and not sure if one would say it's a vintage or just an old camper, I still take a break now and than to look for the VIN# which I still have not found. I do not believe it is on the side of the tongue of the camper and if it was on a label plate mounted on the tongue it's gone. I am in the long process of trying to get a reassign VIN# so I can register the camper cause the weight is more than 2500 lbs. and the state required all trailer to be registered,…

Regarding my recent post about a fresh water tank repair, I just found a product that worked. It is an epoxy by JBweld called Plastic Bonder. It did bond with what I suspected was a nylon flange and did seal the leak. An rv dealer repair shop said the tank was unrepairable but they would be happy to order a new one. Thanks to everyone who responded

I have noticed people looking for Windshields for their older model Motorhomes.  I was able to get a windshield for my 1989 model LaSalle by Champion from the following company:

I don't know much about blogging but I would love to get some information. I recently acquired a 1983 Champion Transtar. The rig run really well so we have decided to do some restoration work. The most pressing issues are the 1. The generator needs work. I have been told it needs a new carb. I have also been told that this work has to be done by a qualified tech because of the electrical load panel. Any information regarding the generator repair would be great. 2. The holding tank needs to…
