Okay, only one battery down and I'm already tired of the inverter overcharging the deep-cycle battery. It looks like the problem can be fixed with a real controller, and the price of it would offset the price of new batteries pretty quickly, I think. I'm thinking the Xantrex Statpower 10TB would do ...

Well, I just got back from the Washington DC Unit's annual Cherry Blossom Rally. It was cold, but we didn't get wet until Saturday night... :) My pictures are here . I was up on the roof to do some emergency caulking - which didn't work, I'm going to have to peel the old stuff off and start over whe...

Welcome back! Hopefully the site will work for you now.

Having rear tires that don't match is a bad deal... most likely if you had them off and measured the circumference it would be different...thats hard on the rear end gear... Have them all removed and checked for balance and round and put two that match the closest on the rear.... Yeah, there are th...

I've got a vibration in the rear end from about 50mph up. :| It could be something as simple as unbalanced tires; I may have lost a wheel weight. But I'm afraid it's something bigger, like a rear wheel bearing or even something in the rear end... The driveshaft universal joints are new; they were re...

I see the new Spring 2007 Camping World mini catalog has on page 78 has all their popular tow bar models from $189 to $749 Their tow dolly from Roadmaster , rated at 4380 lbs, doesn't have brakes Yeah, not all of the dollies have brakes. And many that do have surge brakes, not electric. My feeling ...

That thing is in great shape.

And people wonder why I'm so religious about garaging my cars!

Spark plugs - don't forget to set the gap (see under the hood) Spark plug wires Air filter Fuel filter Belts - check for odd wear (might indicate the bearings in somethi...

you're using the electric brake controller that came standard with the Airstream ? What problems did you have with the brakes on the dolly..? What caused your brakes to fail on the van...? No, I ditched that and moved to a Tekonsha Prodigy brake controller. It's a highly recommended model. If nothi...

I was pretty close to max with the Jeep if ya crunch the numbers from the E350 Owners Manual... With the Element (lotta aluminum & plastic) I'll be well within the numbers. State regs also vary and I was within those regs for Wa & Alaska. So far the brakes on my dolly have been almost nothi...

For mine, at 112,000 miles: New transmission, $3400 New generator, $2200 New engine water pump, $600 (this one bugs me, I could've done it myself had I caught the problem) New fog lights, $20 I've done various other minor things but nothing that's more than a few bucks. Still to do: Find seat covers...

Do you worry about braking on the toad vehicle?
