One Spring several years ago I found the toilet valve (the 'blade') on my van's Thetford Campa-Potti toilet to be stuck. I believe it was due to the rubber seal at the base of the toilet bowl adhering itself to the blade. It was surprisingly tight and I don't quite remember what I used...

+1 on Quest for the Bay. My wife and I happened onto it soon after starting our Prime membership. That also led to our watching "Quest for the Sea" and "Klondike: The Quest for Gold", all by the same producer- Jamie Brown. And I just found he did an earlier one ... "Pioneer Quest: A Year in...

Last February I met a Quebecois couple in the state park campground next to Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge (in Georgia). They were from Montreal and were traveling in a Tesla and towing a Safari Condo Alto F1743 trailer. If you happen to be familiar with that area, it has a very...

My brother bought an early-90's Sun-Lite Eagle on Ebay about 10 years ago. It's a great camper for our trips into state and national forests. It has an eight-foot floor and the floor plan on this one has an extra-big table. That works well for us and our younger brother in bad weather and on...

While browsing the photos in SunLite1995's original post, I noticed the numbers plate says it's a Skyhawk DX. I believe this one on the web is a Skyhawk SB (short bed). If you look at the specs and compare to SunLite1995's Skyhawk dimensions photo, the SB one is shorter, both in overall...

I get the same Wordfence 503 block on my Mac/Chrome laptop and on my iPad/Chrome tablet. On first connecting, I saw the site but anything I chose then resulted in a 503 screen. I then tried a Windows 10/Chrome system and it worked at first. I was able to select several articles/posts and...

You might also want to try Interstate RV Metal and Supply. I see they're in the Portland area and seem to be open to inquiries. .

You might take a look at esimmers' excellent 'Inside Cabinet Take Apart' thread for comparison to your Hawk. His is an 09 Hawk and I'm guessing your 08 is the same or very similar. I especially like his water system schematic in that post.... Note the water direction arrows and the left...

I briefly mentioned in this post that I follow a YouTube channel called Venture4WD ("Venture Forward") by Chris Shontz. Chris has been living and traveling full-time in his Jeep/UrsaMinor rig for several years and posts a weekly video. He carries a Panasonic GH5 and an older GoPro Hero...

I'm sorry to say I don't have much in the way of photos. Here's a quick shot of my rig at the turnoff to the red section we did.. ...and one of fog in the valley from Penns View in Bald Eagle State Forest... I've been looking at YouTube videos hoping to find a better representation of what...

-- continued from above -- Since my brother lives in western New York state and I'm in southern PA, we decided to do the trip backwards from how it's normally shown. We met at Lawrenceville around 1 pm the first day and headed south. We missed the very first turn off the hard road. That...

My brother and I just returned Tuesday from a trip down the Mid-Atlantic Backcountry Discovery Route with a side-trip to Overland Expo East. We had been talking about doing a Fall trip to West Virginia and somehow the subject of the MABDR came up about two weeks before departure. The route is...

We saw a Hawk flatbed on a black Ram 2500 in Peaks of Otter campground on the Virginia portion of the Blue Ridge Parkway (milepost 86) this morning. Texas plates. Towing an off-road trailer. We stayed in the same campground last night but I didn’t get a chance to talk to the owner as we...

The recent posts in this thread reminded me to get my Hawk's Manchester horizontal 20-pounder re-certified and filled for a trip coming up this weekend. I had looked into it some time ago and called several big-name propane suppliers in my area. They told me I had to take it to a propane...

I see page 10 of the Diagnostic Service manual describes the AC-voltage-on-the-DC-line issue and shows how to check for it at the main terminal block (with a voltmeter set to read AC volts on that DC connection) Also- see the info on erratic operation of the fridge in the Grounds section. .

Given the change at the stove and the fact that you've already tried another tank, I'd suspect the gas regulator. An easy first check would be to disconnect the hose from the tank and see if there's evidence of an oily or waxy liquid in the line. Lower the hose end to encourage any trapped oil...

Thanks for the replies on the optional Mylar layer, rando and LosAngeles. Good info! .

After watching the video below with info about the standard insulated soft-walls on a Hallmark, I'm curious what discussions folks may have had with the factory (or what experience you may have had) with the optional mylar fourth layer in the soft-wall material. This Truck Camper Magazine...

A search for 'fuse' in this manual says: (Page 12) Charger Does Not Function: Reverse battery connection: Non replacable fuse blown. Return to VE for repair. and (page 13) Protection: Battery reverse polarity (fuse, not user accessible), PV reverse polarity, Output short circuit, Over...

I'm not sure if this is helpful but your post reminds me of a Safari Condo Alto trailer I toured in a campground in Maine two weeks ago. The owners were from the Washington, DC area and were just packing up after 11 days off-grid at that campground to head home. The trailer has two flexible...

I looked into it back in January as I was working on this post in the OK Ladies thread. I never did determine exactly what Thermo-Lite Board layup FWC uses, i.e., whether the Tough-Lite, Tough, or Supreme layup. There are also multiple finishes and it appears FWC orders the Elephant Skin...

I follow a YouTube channel called 'Venture4WD' by Chris Shontz, a guy from my area who has been traveling nearly full-time in his Jeep/UrsaMinor rig for several years. He made the crossing from Newfoundland to Labrador last week and had a weather delay....

This Amazon listing says this gasket is for some of the NT series models including NT-16S so I'd think that would be the one you need... Suburban 071076 Electrode/Door Burner Gasket I see they also have the electrode for that model if there was any question about the condition of yours...
