    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Yamaha Generator Owners or Former Owners...

    I have both the Honda EU2000i and the Yamaha EF2400is. They both are great generators, but are really pretty different. The Yamaha is about twice the size and weight of the Honda, doesn't get as good fuel economy, and has no provision for manually selecting full throttle. It is auto only...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Connecting up a sink drain?

    There should be four pieces: 1) Metal strainer basket 2) Thick rubber gasket 3) Paper gasket (matches rubber gasket) 4) Large nut The only thing that goes in from the top is the strainer basket. The only thing you should use to seal it to the sink is plumbers putty, between the flange and the...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Its almost here

    Well I got a really good deal on Supersprings so I went for it. If I don't get screwed, I will tell you where I got them. If you DO get screwed, are you going to keep it a secret so some more of us can get ripped off too? I would hope you'll share the vendor's ID either way it goes. JP

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Foam source

    Yeah I got concerned about that real quick yesterday when I saw a topper in the store and saw how small a box it was compressed into. I think I'll stick with the standard foams. The size of the package is not an indicator of how thick or how firm it will be once unpacked. They are vacuum...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Foam source

    I just checked on this a few days ago. The Wal-Mart near me has 4" queen size memory foam mattress toppers for $130. That's $6.50 per square foot. Does anyone know how well this stuff would work for making seat cushions? JP

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Using a vertical propane tank as a backup.

    Les, if you've got info (make/model/source) for the automatic valve I'd bet I'm not the only one that would like to see it!:D Just about any RV shop or store that sells propane stuff will have them. I bought one at Wal-Mart a few months ago, in the RV section. It's not just a valve, it's...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West What Derelicts are in Your Back Yard?

    Does the Scout II have a V8? The big International truck engine? Has anyone converted them to fuel injection? Yes, it's been done by a number of people and the results are very good. The big advantage is in driveability and cold start. Some report significant improvement in fuel economy and...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Propane tank problem

    I think I'd find a new propane dealer. I've never seen a bulk propane tank that did not have a replaceable valve. I've had valves replaced in tanks from 20# to 500 gallon. -

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Propane Fridge problems

    My first suspicion would be low pressure. Propane regulators, which drop the gas from tank pressure to line pressure, don't last forever. Have the line pressure tested, and if it's not right around 11 in. replace it. The other thing to look at is the burner. They tend to accumulate rust...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Forrest Gump Explains Mortage Backed Securities

    If they split up the 700 BIL between all of us ("Americans"), its something like $295,000 each....not bad, or you could have a turd...:confused: I think you need a little practice with your math. The figure would be more like $2000 each. JP

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West DD, how about some new titles?

    Some of the forums I participate in allow you to choose your own custom title. Obviously, with moderator approval. I believe it's a standard feature in vBulletin, isn't it? It would make for a lot more variety and originality. JP

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Truck advice (again!)

    You didn't say whether you were looking for new or used. If you're going to buy new, a couple of things people have mentioned here have changed. The 6.0L power stroke has been replaced by a twin turbo 6.4L which has not had the problems that the 6.0L had. The Dodge Cummins has been increased...
