  1. Being as there's no 'like' feature on this site : ๐Ÿ‘
  2. I would think that's what will have to happen .
  3. FYIOn May 15, Imgur will be deleting all photos/videos that were uploaded by anyone who wasn't a logged-in user.As Imgur never required people to log in/register to host content, it's likely that any members who used that site at any point in the last decade will fall foul of this decision. Any threads containing pictures/videos hosted on Imgur will, on May 15, become broken links just like they did after Photobucket pulled the plug.Imgur Announcement :https://help.imgur.com/hc/en-us/articles/14415587638029-Imgur-Terms-of-Service-Update-April-19-2023-
  4. When we started our full time life style , gas was closing in on 4 dollars a gallon . I planned on that , so when the prices dropped we were in good shape . Basically , we travel north and south depending on the season . It might take us a couple months to get from mid Texas to mid Michigan . Like Kirk says , unless you're in escape mode , just take it easy . You're not on anyone's clock except your own . A lot of 'new' full-timers think they have to get there . But , they are missing the best part of the adventure . Stick to the smaller roads and stay off the interstates as much as possible . You'll likely live longer with a lot less stress .
  5. ๐Ÿ‘ Ha . It's more fun making something work than just buying it done .
  6. You put the hose to it ? Just to make sure it's good ?
  7. I knew it would happen . Just a matter of working the 'kinks' . And , you deserve to be tired , with a little smile for being all but done . ๐Ÿ‘

    Photo test

    Hey , at least you're not sitting to put your underwear on . Seems your test was successful . ๐Ÿ‘
  9. Our V10 ford has about 70K and has ran those without a hiccup , so I won't be any help . I will be watching this thread for whatever you find as the cause of your power lose . Good luck .
  10. I had wondered how I was going to do away with our old fridge , too . Then the fellow came by and offered to load it on his pickup . Didn't take more than a breath and a smile to start helping him load it .
  11. Good you won the battle . We were fortunate that one of the park maintenance guys was a scarper and gladly took our old fridge , once we got it outside the rig .
  12. Ha . If they came off too easy they'd have been on the floor every time you moved the rig . It's just a little test of your determination .
  13. Have you tried a putty knife between the wood and metal to force them apart ? I guess it depends on the type of glue and how much they used . :(
  14. Too bad the wood is glued on . Our Norcold 4 door had thick oak face wood that was held in place with side channels . I removed the wood . Made the doors half the weight . After the new fridge was in place , there was about 10" of open space on the side . I cut the removed wood and made a couple of vented doors to cover that open space . Turned out pretty decent .
  15. Our new fridge came a couple days before we were ready for it . We just put it under the big awning and plugged it in to make sure it functioned properly , until I was ready . I learned a long time ago that new doesn't guarantee it will be right , out of the box . It's too big a job to have to do it more than absolutely necessary .
  16. Hmm , somehow that doesn't look quite right .
  17. When we replaced our fridge , I removed the door , including the jam ( frame ) , to get the new unit inside . That gave us about 1/4" on either side clearance . Slow and easy got it done . The side window was the next move that wasn't needed . It's pretty easy to remove the complete window with frame . Just have to be sure to add caulk or replace the seal when putting it back in place . Then there's the height that has to be dealt with . If you have many hands or a fork lift ...
  18. The city paid you well for that five feet , right ? LOL Years ago , I built a shed that matched the exterior of the house it was behind , including the 'barn' style doors with dual glass knobs . Two doors , each with a knob , of course . One knob being nonfunctional . Anyway , I wanted a positive latching as I didn't want the doors to belly out where they met . I simply recruited a garage door twist mechanism and used solid rods instead of the flat metal . The rods were mounted vertically to use the upper jam and the floor as 'latch plates' . On the door with no mechanism , I secured a T-astragal without the I . I wasn't too concerned about any seal the I part would afford . Hopefully , that^ draws a decent picture of what I did . As far as I know the 'system' is still in use about twenty five years later .
  19. I'm surprised you didn't have to get a 300 dollar permit as the workers are using the supposed right of way . They might leave something bad for the grass and such . LOL
  20. If there's tape residue , WD40 will take it off quick .
  21. For general wrenching I buy 6 point when I need a socket to replace a worn or used for another purpose socket . They won't round a lesser bolt head near as quick as a 12 point .
