Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Converted the 62 Lark from single to dual brakes. System doesn’t need a portioning valve as they designed it to be balanced . Just need to bleed the rest of the system . Bench bleed the master already , I used a master for a 1970 full size GM . Did my research and a lot of Studebaker owners have had good results with this and also the master from a 1968 Mustang . The mustang you need to replace the rod as it’s 1/4 to short. This master is exact so it’s a complete bolt in no mods just need to play the line coming out of the junction to the rear and use a union fitting .

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Are you giving up camping? Then let those items go with the camper. If not, you need a mini storage unit.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
A friend of mine recently bought a motor home for basically pennies (ish) on the dollar because people are turning them in since they cant afford the gas prices. Maybe like the days when muscle cars were cheap because of the gas crisis scare?

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
By that logic people in AL should be buying the CA RVs because their gas is so much cheaper

What I am going to do soon as I ready it to sell ,,is use what the dealers are asking for their travel trailers like ours and then drop down under their price .. I should be able to do that considerably and still get more for it than what we paid for it .. we'll see

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
If you cant afford $5 diesel you shouldnt be driving a 400k motorhome. I can see the market decline in low end MH and travel trailers . High end there is a wait for one.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
That's truth, right there! Fuel is a big cost for going camping, but the rent is a lot cheaper, so it's a good offset. We don't have to spend the night in someone else's bed, either. My wife really likes camping. I'm OK with it, is all I can say for it.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Since it’s snowing out I cleaned and replaced the power cord on a 1950s Mimar Dynafan model “325” that I rescued from the trash last week . Oiled the motor has oil tubes for the bearings and it works great . Low speed not working most likely a resister on the switch . But it really has a lot of power on high and very quiet. Made in Brooklyn NY

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Prices have skyrocketed on full 50 amp hookup sites . I mainly use it for dry camping like the truck show in Macungie PA. Truck gets 15 mpg at best and the MH 10 solo or towing . The MH has Cat . The entire weekend the VFW charges me 50 bucks.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
If I could afford an RV I could afford the gas. People always react like this is it, the way it will stay, when fuel prices spike. There is always over reaction. Used car lots will only want good mpg vehicles and trucks and SUVs will drop in price. It happened before, then it went right back to more people than ever buying big trucks and SUVs and the RV market boomed again. The consumer public is so fickle it isn't funny. If things are that bad then maybe someone will buy the travel trailer to live in it!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Gas prices don't affect my motorhome because I never drive it. It's been sitting in the same spot for 2 years now. One of these days I'll take the old girl out camping.

Cool or old fan. Name written in a font from the times, well 30s/40s, rather than recreated.

The old metallic green. Cool fan, and you know what I mean... both! I have some old ones and people always comment on how unsafe they are, pre-safety era back when people weren't protected from being stupid

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Finished fabrication of a new anvil stand a few weeks ago, just been waiting on a cold enough day I could run the corn stove on high long enough to heat the stand up for a final coating. Will get the legs filled with sand today and should be done.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Sand in the legs , hmm, would that be for more weight or does it help absorb the shock ??? or something else .
