RE: Honda Eu3000 Problem
When our Yamaha 3000iSEB kept running but stopped making power it turned out to be a bad control unit. The replacement part was around $900 without labor. Ridiculous! I was basically left with a large paper weight and just replaced it with two smaller Honda generators. Hopefully that isn’t your problem.

RE: Final accounting, 14 years with a Super C
Nice record keeping and summary. Thanks for the information. Two things I took away...8.5 mpg while towing sounds very acceptable and paying $3000/year for storage would be unacceptable for me. I am fortunate enough to have room for an rv pad on the side of my house. Glad you might get some of that money back when you sell.

RE: Propane fire pit
Our propane fire is Campfire in a Can which they don’t make anymore. When we first got it I connected it to one of those small disposable propane canisters you are talking about. The fire started fine but within 3-4 minutes got noticeably smaller to almost nothing. Ice formed on the regulator and it froze up. I think the larger metal tanks have enough metal to absorb the temperature drop but the small cans don’t.

RE: Tire Recommendation for a 2011 Tahoe Please
Have a look at the Toyo Open Country AT tires. I’ve had them now about 4 years. They look really nice and are wearing very well. I found them to be a better value than the bigger name brands.

RE: should i raise tires off the ground for long storage
You probably don’t need to and most don’t but I do for peace of mind when our trailer is parked longer than 2-3 months.

RE: propane fire pit operating cost and connection to TT
When using the full 58000 Btu’s you’ll get around 8 hours from a 5 gallon tank. On medium, I’d guess around 10-11 hours...

RE: RV cover
With ADCO, make sure you get a cover with the top made of the white Tyvek. It’s more expensive but lasts around 3-4 times longer in my my experiences with covers.

RE: AZ Governor Statement on RV Travel during Stay At Home order
...also, golf carts are only being rented out to one player at a time. Clubhouses are closed. All checking in and paying is done outside. For us walking golfers though, we’re lucky to have an activity that fulfills all the requirements.

Might want to check your sources. The park remains open. Only certain facilities are shut down like shuttles, restaurants and lodging...

RE: Sumo super springs for 2019 F150
The Sumos just replace the standard bump stop that came on the truck. In my case, the bump stop was around 2 inches tall and the black Sumos(I said blue earlier by mistake) I put on are around 6 inches tall. When I have the fifth wheel attached the Sumos compress 1 to 1.5 inch. The truck drives so much better when pulling the camper. No more jarring from bottoming out from dips or potholes.

RE: Sumo super springs for 2019 F150
Love our blue Sumos. Easily put on about 4 years ago and it eliminated all sag. No maintenance whatsoever and no air to leak EVER! Super cost effective

RE: Fed Cuts Rates: Will RV Rates Follow?
“The Big Short” is an excellent movie and needs to be watched at least twice to absorb all the information. “Too Big to Fail” is another movie that also does a good job explaining just how close the housing crisis brought the American/World economy to the brink of disaster...

We purchased this one as a replacement after looking for about two months and hundreds of reviews. We couldn’t be happier! It is medium to medium firm.

RE: Butane vs. Propane
I do not know about the fuel referenced above, which may be misnamed but chemically, isobutane is NOT a mixture or combination of propane and butane. There are two forms of the four carbon butane molecule possible, either a straight chain which is called n-butane and a central carbon with three pendant carbons, called isobutane. Both are butane, same number of carbon and hydrogen atoms, same molecular weight, but slightly different physical and chemical properties.
And no, butane does not have a lower boiling point (at 0 to 1 degree C) than propane (-42 degrees C).
Actually, three products are sold, propane, butane (actually a usually a mix of both isomers) and LP gas, a mixture of propane and butane.
Nice to have an organic chemist in the group! :)

RE: pp space heater in a rv
What's wrong with using the furnace?
Two reasons for me...
1) It’s an energy hog.
2) It’s noisy, turning on and off throughout the night.

RE: Yosemite in Winter
Upper Pines, and only the front part of it, is the only campground the NPS keeps open in the winter. Normal February temps in Yosemite Valley are usually highs in the mid 50’s and low’s in the mid to low 30’s. Although getting heavy snow is always a possibility in the valley, it usually stays on the mild side compared to higher elevations. Thus far it has been a fairly mild winter there. Accuweather can give you a 15 day forecast. And of course carry chains and extra blankets. Winter is really nice there for avoiding the crowds of summer. As already mentioned, the natural “firewall” in February is a bonus. Should be a great trip!
