    Myth Busters

    That's the first I ever saw a spark plug added there. When I was in high school I had a spark plug in my cars tail-pipe, let off the gas and flip the switch, KaBOOM. One guy put it in the exhaust pipe and blew his muffler off.
  2. I would avoid the border crossing hassle and vehicle insurance costs and reserve a site in Texas directly in the path of the blue line. https://www.traveltexas.com/things-to-do/outdoor-adventure/great-texas-eclipse/#:~:text=If you're planning on,entertainment%2C lodging and dining options. The path of totality in MX is in the state of Sinaloa, which is Mexico's most crime-ridden state. This website is recommended for tracking cloud cover on eclipse day. https://eclipsophile.com/eclipse-day-weather/
  3. Angie M; FWIW, the 18' slide room in my MH has basement compartments in it, and Winnebago says those compartments have a weight limit of 300#. That may be useless to you, but I thought it might be an indicator of how the entire industry feels about added weight to a slide room.
  4. Lowering the temperature setting will make it even more cold inside the fridge. Frost/ice inside a refrigerator means high humidity levels. Absorption refrigerators have a slow recovery time. Check door seals for not sealing properly, you do that with a dollar bill test. Every time a door is opened it allows chilled air to spill out and replaced with warm humid air. Only open the door after you have decided what you will remove or insert to reduce the number of time and length of time a door is opened. When our kids were young that was my most common concern with the absorption refrigerator, keeping it cold inside and ice/frost formation down. They would open a door then stand there while deciding what they wanted.
  5. I second that recommendation. I swapped my old 1TB HDD for a !TB SSD then added 16 additonal MB of memory to my old HP P6-2350 I bought in 2004. It runs dual-boot W10 and Linux much faster, now my limiting issue is, I only have access to DSL internet, with no cell service here at home..
  6. We stayed at Jacobs Lake and it's a good 30 miles North of the North rim gate that I remember, but it's the closest FHU CG. I'd have dry camped in the North Rim CG but no spaces for a 40' RV. Thad; anticipate snow at the North Rim in early May. How's that going to co-inside with your hiking permit difficulty??
  7. On rvforum.net a member posted a 3 video series of a Lippert rep explaining how their frames are made, and the reasoning behind their frame designs. Lippert intentionally designs their frames so the coach part strengthens the frame.
  8. That's it! I knew I'd seen that one-piece design before.
  9. I found their website; The sales brochure is here: https://www.cortescampers.com/_files/ugd/6a4159_bebe547f138847f28f698ceb4274dab2.pdf Everything is one-piece molded fiberglass, even holding tanks, which cannot be replaced as they are part of the "frame", wet bath, and It has a 16G black tank. Their 16' trailer starts at $40,000 + taxes and fees.

  11. I used to have Rand Mcnally GPS' but their lifetime maps timed-out @ 3 years. So, I bought a cheap OHREX Chinese trucker GPS off Amazon for $70. It has been entirely accurate here in the lower 48 for 3 years now. Maps updates must be purchased and come on an SD card for something like $26 ea.
  12. I agree; clean off the steering box so you can locate the leak source. While under there find the numbers on the steering box casting, that number and perhaps a brand name is very important for locating a new box. This is nothing special, virtually all are heavy-duty truck parts. I will say it is probably a leak from a power steering hose or fitting instead of the actual box, but when the box is oily/greasy it's impossible to accurately locate the source. Use engine de-greaser spray on the box and surrounding area then flush with water. If it has air suspension, do not get underneath without the frame being blocked so it cannot lower!!! Some brands are rebuildable, some are not, so if one must be ordered, make sure the shop has received it before removing the old one.
  13. Do not drive an RV into the keys without a reservation unless you plan to go during the summer/off-season months. During peak-season months you cannot even find a parking spot for a few hours without getting a ticket.
  14. That machine is a biscuit-cutout, the inserts that are glued-in are biscuits shaped like a football,and come in many different sizes.
