One step in the right direction . 👍

Hmm ... Best to replace the awning with some decent canvas and never worry about bubbles again .
Until then , I'd simply puncture each bubble , so it deflates . Then spray an appropriate amount of 3M Super 77 Multipurpose Adhesive through the hole you made .
Press the 'liner' back into place . And , hope it stays .
Hope no more bubbles show .

We have never been turned away from a CG because of the age of our rig that's now 19 years old but it's been well maintained and doesn't look it's age. That rule is in place so the parks will have a reason to not let you in if you are run down poorly maintained RV.

Same for us . But , our Monaco is 22 years old .
Just keep your rig in nice condition and you'll feel much better about life .

The RV society is no different to all segments of society. There's a mix of all sorts of folks. Pre judging is a dangerous game. Being alert isn't.
I've met some real PITA in the high end resorts. And in the worst campgrounds. But Ive met way more nice people than bad people.
Agreed .

Unfortunately Google isn't what it used to be trying to sell me something that may or may not fit my needs. That's why I posted the question here. Usually when I run across a problem there's always many others facing the same issue.
My wife posted on a Vintage Cruiser FB group and few have used the cooktop enough to notice a problem.
Sometimes we have to do a little bit of sifting to find ...
And , agreed . It ain't like it use to be , just like everything else , including your knobs .

Maybe simply Google 'replacement Atwood ( or who yours is made by ) cooktop knobs' .

Excellent . 👍

As I implied , I wouldn't waste time or money if the generator runs fine as it is . But , that's me .
If you feel the need to have a new needle , buy the cheapest repop carb you can and simply use its needle in the current OEM carb .
-
Hmm , in 12 years of sea level to well over 4000 feet , I've never changed anything for altitude and never had a problem with the generator doing its job .
-
I have to wonder why you think you need a new carb ?
Did you smash it with a huge hammer or run over it with a 'dozer or some such ?

Got that too. When you mess with old motorcycles, with itty-bitty idle circuits, you learn all the tricks.
Yup , been there , still there .

John, read the opening post. It's a bad fuel pump, not carb. But, I have SeaFoam and use it occasionally.
I like Berryman's B-12 .

Maybe you read this over a year ago ::
Anyway , I did the same as you . For less than 20 bucks the fuel pump I installed is still doing fine , having put in more hours of service than we would normally have used the generator .

I always went outside and grabbed a handful of dry dirt .
Spread it over the stain and ground it in with my foot .
Sweep it up and all is right with the world .

See the attachment from the 5000 generator manual .
Note that any recently stocked oil on the shelves today more than meets requirements .
If in doubt check the API classification , run the latest which is "SN" .
It replaces all previous classifications .

Could you provide a link to this info? I have searched and searched and all I come up with is maximums when I ask for minimums. I even got all excited and entered "minimum speed on federally funded highways" (your wording) into Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo and it still brings up maximums. I must not have found the right wording for my search.
Try Googling : minimum freeway speeds in ( the state of your choice )

Driving 55mph on an interstate with a speed limit of 75 or 80 mph is irresponsible and can lead to a disaster when someone trying to avoid you crashes. I don't have a problem with someone running 5 or even 10mph under the speed limit on a limited access interstate highway but if you want to run 20 or 25 mph under the limit, do everyone a favor and stay on secondary roads that are more appropriate to the speeds you prefer to drive.
Why not do everyone a favor and be aware of what the minimum speed limit is ?
Anyone driving on any road should be ready for anything .

Ok think my resistor (the U shaped thing) may be bad but want to make sure I’m checking it correctly. If you look at the picture there are four pins. If using a multimeter on the ohms setting and using pin 1 (furthest left) as ground and touching 2, 3, then 4 with red probe shouldn’t I show some ohm readings across each pin? I’m showing nothing. I even repeated the process using each pin as ground.
Not sure this will help :

I've always gotten better fuel mileage driving state and US highways. It seems driving 45-50MPH, my MH gets almost 2 MPG better than driving 65-70 MPH on interstates; so all those folks who are irritated by others driving less than the speed limit are just going to have to adjust or pass me.
Same here . I generally drive up to 55 on state and US roads .
If we have to take a freeway , I kick it up to about 60 .
Everyone passes us on the freeway .

Awning motor at front of camper. Spring at rear of camper. Tension clockwise?
Sounds right to me . That's the way I had to install new springs in our awning .
BUT , ours is not motor driven , so ??? for sure .
Maybe find instructions for your particular awning .
