  1. Honda 200 generator, hand to start and then had to play with the choke for a while before it would run on its own, Had gen. for 12 years with no problems. So I found that there is a filter/ fuel pump/ fuel accumulator on the inside of the main cover on the pull rope side. $35 for a new one at Honda. Replaces in about a hour and runs on the second pull, choke off. Might give it a look. This filter/ pump is between the fuel tank and the carburetor. NO they made this so you cant clean it and as far as I know, Honda. Honda filter /pump has 3 hose ports and most other have 2 hose ports. Good luck OU812

    As long as you have a, Good water, supply and a tank for waste water, then Ok. If not, then you should be in some kind of park to have the supply and waste water deposals sites. Sanitizing can be a big problem. Hot water and soap for the dozen or so item you need to wash, each time . really to us is not a big deal. We do a lot bar-b-Q outside / cooking to reduce the orders and film in the TC. What works for ....go for it.. OU812
  3. Working out side...... I've never...never broken down in a shop. Been hauled into a shop, to be fixed because I didn't have the tools (computer) to work on outside. On the farm, where I grew up, that was known as "The Big Shop", when working out side on equipment. Last year I had the ECM go to the "lymp mode". Made it to a Commings shop. I didn't know that I could hold my breath that long, (60 miles) . I always have a small rug or peace of plastic to throw down to work on. It helps to find things when they drop, keeps the ground clean, and every one happy. I try to keep up on prevented maintenance at hone, more options to repair. Helps keep the problems down to a very seldom. Good luck and happy traveling OU812
  4. Thank you all. We think we got a place. one that you have suggested. Thank you all OU812
  5. At the end of March, we will be traveling in the south Denver / Pueblo , Co. area. We are looking for a camp site, reasonable, for 4 / 5 nights. Dose any have any suggestions , for a T C and car trailer, 65 ft., privet or state, not to picky? Is there a military camp in the area? Only need power, 30 amp.
  6. Problem solved........ long story short...... Replaced a low resistance fusible link. (corroded inside) Now the key worked all the time. Thank you for all your replies. OU812
  7. I have a 98 Volvo N 14 , 10 speed. 670,00 miles, When attempting to start, with the key. ( I let the lights come on and don't crank until the seat belt light goes off) No dash lights I get nothing, then back off, second try I get dash lights, ( voltage is 12.8 volts) a click and ECM, and dash lights go out. Back off, third or forth try starter engages and engine start up as usual. Battery's are 6 mouths old ( charging at !3.8 when running) and clean. I have replaced the starter relay, and the electrical connection at the bottom of key switch. The electrical system is all original, only add on is a trailer brake controller. No orders (smell of something hot), checked for loose connections, all over. Truck runs fine, and intersegments are normal when running. Has any one had a simmer experience whit their truck? No I'm not next to a repair shop...but I know that I could get to one,.. in a few 100 miles. (Volvo). I' thinking of a starter going bad...?? Is there something I should be looking at ?? I think I have covered everything that I attempted and the systems. Any in put is appreciated Thank you OU812

  10. Traveling to the U P in Michigan this week and looking for a camping spot. For 3-4 days this week... pay or free... for a 65 ft er. Any suggestion , I would appreciated. Thank you OU812
  11. This is a LONG shot....but..... could you make transmission adjustment / change to a over drive to get the higher gear and RPM down. A lot of people look at a truck, and never think about what it was built for. Over the road truck is set up different the a then say local delivery or logging truck. I don't know your set up.....but you could spend a few $$$$ to get the way you want.......or start over on another truck like a lot of us have done. good luck OU812
