Use zip ties and attach it to the front grill.

I would suggest you look at a low mileage cube van, 12’ to 16’; V8, dualies. You could construct the box any way you wanted to satisfy your needs without all the crap and lack of reliability of a Class C. Buy one out of the Snow belt/salt area of the country. Probably Chevy or Ford; you do the...

This is exactly the type of example you must learn to protect yourself from. This officer had stepped over the line; and he will try to do it again on his very next traffic stop.

The problem with the police is you can’t tell the good ones from the bad ones. It here is what I do, although I’ve only been stopped twice in ten years. 1) Although you are not required to do so, don’t start your interaction off on the wrong foot. When asked to identify yourself, produce your...

They are available at Lowe’s and Home Depot; very common.

Make it easy on yourself. As HDR suggested, just “float” the grounds. In other words, the AGM battery ground will not be connected to the vehicle frame ground. When wiring the various loads just run a positive and negative wire from the battery to the load. These loads will be totally isolated...

Shadow moss gave some excellent guidance for you. This RV could turn out to be the deal of the century, or the worst nightmare you ever had. You need to find someone with more experience than you, and PAY THEM to do a survey of the unit. Test all the systems and tell you what works and what...

Gulf Stream RVs were in the upper crust of RVs in their day. The only word of caution is that it is a diesel. For that type of motor anything under 100k miles is low! But, you should take this RV to an experienced diesel mechanic and have it thoroughly inspected and checked out. Diesel repairs...

My vehicle is made from a 379 Peterbilt road tractor, the same truck that was used to make the original Optimus Prime in the Transformer moves. So we it OPie!

I have been deeply into photography my whole life. I reluctantly made the switch to digital for the convenience and to learn the technology. My preferred medium is B&W film, 35mm or 2 1/4” square. I wanted to keep things simple for my “road digital camera.” Canon produces a line of non-DSLR...

Hi Cammalu! Thanks for saying hi! Be safe.

Hi HDR! Hope you are well; thanks for all you have been doing to support the group!

My Peterbilt Motorhome has never had a rear view mirror! And the side mirrors are awesome. Also, add one of those convex bullet mirrors so you can see close-in vehicles which will be in your blind spot with your regular side mirrors. Just my opinion . . .

In the world of PSW inverters, the rule of “you get what you pay for” REALLY applies. And, if you are buying off E-Bay you are especially vulnerable. There is a quite a lot of Chinese poor quality units offered at attractive prices which will suck you in. What to do? Determine the size unit...

I’ve had Progressive for ten years on my Peterbilt 379 road tractor converted to a Motorhome. When I finished with the conversion (extending the frame 6’, dropping the front drivers, and adding a 16’ dry box) I had my state DMV have the title read “Peterbilt Motorhome.” I was hassle free.

I don’t break the law; I don’t need a scanner.

I think the probability of a problem is very small, but I wouldn’t do it. To re-enforce what HDR said, you’re gunna hate the smell of that diesel fuel inside your vehicle. It’s very incideous and eventually will get everywhere, even if the tank filler is on the outside.

I thought the purpose of a check was to prevent “forgetting” something! Here’s what I do- it has NEVER failed me: 1) Complete checklist items 2) Start vehicle engine; warm up 3) While warming, do a GOAL (get out and look); do a complete walk around 4) Blow Dodge Always be aware of the need to...

I am curious as to the reliability and reputation being developed through experience of the new Ford 7.3 gasoline (not diesel) engine? Anyone have any input? Thanks!
