Tiddle bits of bits and bits.

Ive been keeping tabs with an old school RV'er,, retired metal worker, turned road gypsy as he calls it,, A fair term would be full time RV'er.

He been slipping in a few of his *trade secrets to me as we converse and he has some pretty cool ideas.One idea that caight my attention, was one idea I have used in a regular Van, blocking off the front drivers area from the rest of the van. Incorporating a airplane cockpit doorway.

Repairing a tail light bulb.

You mean,, Not everyone likes simple jobs?

Take for example, replacing a simple tail light bulb on your RV.

Its not rocket science,, right?  You get the correct screw driver,, after several trips to the tool box,, making you think that you should have brought the tool box with you. You start to unscrew the 1st screw,, and you turn and turn and turn and turn and turn some more,, then turn some more,, stopping to check your progress,,, so far so good,, its not stripped, so you…

Creative non logical Humor. with a twist of insanity

After reading several new additions to the conversations here,,It seems the warm weather is finally getting here and the folks up north can finally come out of hybernation and can now see their Rigs,,, as not being buried in 20 feet of snow.

Hopefully none,, but ya never know,, Do a double check for bears inside,, Ive heard bears are getting smarter,,, they do enjoy the comforts of a queen sized bed, and where…

Yes, poltergeist do exist

I had posted about my previous gas water heater being possessed by evil demons, a.k.a. poltergeist. RV guy, totally tore it apart. Flushed the channels and compartment. Installed every component with new out of the box. Hooked gas up to it, set regulator pressure and flipped it on. Of course it was just a teaser for a few minutes till the evil demons decided to show themselves, irractic flame, burps, hick ups, then poof, flame out and several failed attempts to restart. He has confirmed that…

Newer RV updates

I had the pleasure of talking with a bonafide RV restoration specialist.

He restores vintage and New RV's and everything in between.

I learned a lot from just spending the day about the difference from a by gone time to newer technology. He explained ,,as most of us know that the Older RV's were built to last,, like Dads old Chevy.. to last 20 plus years,, with quality,proud workmanship in each model.
