RE: Retile
What size tiles do you have now & have they cracked? I imagine the larger the tile it's more apt to crack. Yes, tiles are heavy, you could probably look at the box & figure it out. I would probably go with the vinyl.

RE: How to Restore Old Fiberglass
Here is something that might interest you. It's about boats but it'll work on RVs too.

RE: Durango to Angel Fire
If you like scenic old steam trains, ride the one in Durango and then the one in
Chama N Mex. Spectacular scenery on both.

RE: Ceiling surface balooning when rear A/C has run a while
Yeah, sounds like a leaking duct. Some have accessed the area through a nearby light or air register. If that's not an option you can cut a hole and install a new register to gain access. Leaks like that can severely affect your cooling.

RE: Durango to Angel Fire
Hwy 64 South out of Pagosa Springs will take you to Angle Fire. It was an excellent road when we traveled it about 3 or 4 yrs ago. Hwy 64 will take you on to Raton if you are headed home.

RE: Older Class A Electrical
I see you have an old Todd transfer switch ( ATS ) I urge you to not use it, they are dangerous, a fire hazard. Todd was originally Iota. Iota was a fire
hazard and was recalled, went bankrupt, and reappeared as Todd still the same old switch. Todd is now out of business. I took my Iota out and replaced it with an Esco. Take a look at this thread.

RE: Fiberglass roof crack repair
On my 03 Monaco Windsor the fiberglass roof just floats on top of that plywood
It may be ok to put some screws or glue there but I probably wouldn't. Those would tend to lock down the area where it needs to be able to move, which might result in another crack in the same area. Eternabond will allow a little movement.
My guess is it cracked because there was stress in that spot or area. It finally cracked which relieved a great deal of the stress, maybe all of it.

RE: Where are my spark plugs? Found them....
Ya sure had to take a lot apart to find those plugs. Grin
Yeah, some times I get carried away and do thing the hard way.
If ya look real close, just to the right of the cherry picker (red). You'll see ½ of # 8 cylinder of the replacement block.
The garage is getting a little cluttered with stuff.
Richard
I see it, looks like it's covered in plastic.
Why the new block? Looks like a big job. Keep us posted.
We like those pictures.

RE: Fiberglass roof crack repair
I doubt the crack shows from the ground and running from one opening to another it's not going to keep going so I would use Eternabond. Eternabond will last longer than the RV, no need for 2 layers, but clean & roll it down really well.

RE: Typical price for Class A tire mounting and balance
They did have Yokohamas for $1451, that's pretty close in price.
I haven't called them yet but one of the local tire places here says they are a direct dealers of Yokohamas. I don't know much about Yokohamas but I haven't found any in the size I need (which I believe is 245/70r22.5) as a replacement size for the Michelin 235/80/r22.5
I ran Yokohama tires on my pu but not on the MOHO. However, some owners have used them and liked them over on this site.

RE: Typical price for Class A tire mounting and balance
I got a quote yesterday on a couple of 295/80/R22.5 Toyos M144 x 16 ply at Southern Tire Mart for $1398.61 total. Problem was, no tires. They did have Yokohamas for $1451, that's pretty close in price.
Quite a bit of that was charges in addition to the $499 per tire.
For instance
$45 for mounting
$7.95 valve stem
$2.50 flow thru valve cap
$45 balancing
$10 disposal
$10 other ?
$41 FET
$46 sales tax
That's about $120 per tire not counting tax. I sold my take-offs for $100 each.
If you're able-bodied those big tires are not that hard to do, actually, they're easier than small tires to dismount & remount on the wheel. If I was younger, I'm
82, I'd do my own, and I still might. The savings would buy Centramatics for balancing or just throw in some balance beads. You would still have money for
whatever. Buy tire irons at Harbor Freight or other tool stores.

RE: Recommended tools for a newbie
I do like having lots of tools. I used to cram just about everything I owned into my MOHO, but gradually it occurred to me that 90% of those I never touched.
At 82 I don't know if I want to be working on it anyway. I still take too many and I'll just buy what else I need when needed.
To a great extent, it depends on you and what you buy. Some people are always working on something even if it doesn't need any work, and some won't touch a thing. In time you'll figure it out.
Oh, BTW, a 20 ft set of jumper cables can save you a lot of grief.

RE: Difficulty timing a 1995 Chevy 454ci
I can check on this today. I have checked for vacuum leaks and did replace a few rotted out lines. I've also redone all the gaskets on the tbi, including the base plate gasket.
I have had success finding vacuum leaks by using a handheld propane torch that is not lit ( no fire ) and running the propane along any possible leak areas, RPMs will increase at a vacuum leak.

RE: Installing black water tank
Realistically, I don't think it matters very much where you place the toilet as long as the hole and the toilet line up. You are converting a bus, so that alone implies that you understand things. In this case, water is your friend. After dumping I add approx 5 gal of water, this will eliminate virtually all black tank problems. I try to let the black tank get nearly full and then dump, this gives a powerful flow that evacuates practically everything.
I usually dump just a little grey water first, so that I can see if I have a leak or any other problem. If all seems ok, I let the black water flow, followed by a tank full of grey water to wash out the 3" sewer hose.
