Well, I managed to find the pen hole (bigger than a pin hole) in the brake hard line and fix it with flared fittings. Now to bleed the rear drums but wow! The bleeder valve is like an 1" from the leaf springs!!

It may be less because I'm thinking how the heck to I get a slotted wrench in there??? Any ideas? Allegro P30 with, you guessed it, rear drums....

Thanks Phil!

I have a Bookdocking unit on order to replace my old and not-sure-it-even-works no label model.

It is a power converter. Mine went bad on our first camping trip. Replaced it with a up dated version. Half the size and has a battery maintenance programmed in it. I would replace it while you've got the fridge out. Well worth the money in the extra life you'll get out of house batteries.

I pulled my Dometic fridge unit out to fix the roof leaks and rot and realized that under this cabinet, bolted to the floor of the RV is some metal box with a vented top. It's plugged in and has what looks like a voltage regulator mounted near it and some lead (metal and looks to be a thermostat wire going down into the floor). The box is aluminum and is about 11" wide by 8" high and about 9" deep. I'll be examining it more and I assumed it was some sort of inverter but the other connections give me pause.

Managed to redo the wiper/washer hoses, pump and tank so now I can hit a push button and get some water to wash mud and crud off the windshield! Of course we won't be able to travel but hey, it's one thing off my list!!

Got the belt issue fixed by pulling the alternator and putting the RIGHT pulley on her! Finally, the belt is on a correct 6 groove pulley. One more thing fixed on the Long Hauler 2.

Getting ready for the next road trip south to beat the winter blues. If only we can get Mom to not pack for 3 months of clothes....

That is good the belt came apart when it did. We lost ours in the middle of nowhere, 4 hours to get a wrecker and towed to a mechanic. Then 2 days of repair, they had to get the part from 150 miles away. Fun times LOL

Took the LH2 out for a short test drive after getting the new license plates on her. The squeaky belt finally blew off after a gas station stop! Glad it did this now vs. on the way to Myrtle Beach in a couple of weeks!

I decided to use a guy I trust in Daytona, Bill's Discount Carburetor. he's old school and when I got my carb back from him I almost accused him of swapping it for a newer one! Now I get 19+ pounds vacuum and the engine sounds like it's on a dyno stand in the shop.  Jim, you may want to try him out. it was about $200 then shipping. His wife runs the office, so you know it's legit.

Jim, Sounds like your PCV valve is clogged or not working as far as the crankcase pressure. Or the port in the carb for the PCV is clogged
