RE: Anyone utilize Camping World consignment?
I can not believe that they would put any effort into trying to sell your unit used when they have a whole lot of new units they can sell. DTANK'S idea is a good one and wish you the best in selling your rig.

RE: Class C Pros and Cons
We bought a 2007 Class C from a private owner in 2015, we looked at C's for well voer a month and saw some really tired rigs. The ones well kept stuck out and you could see why they were priced a tad higher. Our demands were less than 30 feet, one owner, clean and well cared for with some records of service. Was worth the hunt as our rig was close to perfect and we kept it till we moved up to a Class A. I agree with all that has been said, your insurance rates are way out of line, after some suspension improvements I did handeling was greatly improved. It was easy to drive and get into most all campsites.It was a Ford V-10 and easy to work on.

RE: valve stems for TPMS
I second the not purchasing the flow through senders, and going with the regular sender caps. And would not spend the money for the tow vehicle added senders, just the trailer. But I would remove the rubber stems and replace with metal stems for the security of having them not flex and possible snap off with the sensor on the end of the rubber.

RE: JB Weld or ? Quick Water Tank Fix
Have to decide if $130 fixed and problem cured is less than a cheaper maybe not fixed as well fix? How many times do you want to try to fix it with less than perfect materials? Sometimes you have to bite the bullet and buy the best product you need. Maybe a cheaper system will work, don't know. I just like to fix things once.
Is there another recommendation besides JB Weld for a quick fix water tank leak? The leak is on the part/where valve goes into the tank. Someone also suggested 3M Panel Bond, but this is over $130 with application gun. Thank you

RE: monitoring tire temp
When your pulling out of the campground and get that small nail in your tire and then your planned first stop is 3-4 hours down the road, exactly when are you going to use the ir to see your tire is either flat, destroyed from driving for miles with not enough air or so hot you can't touch it? Spending the money just might keep you from having to buy a new tire, or worst yet, sitting along the side of some expressway with 70 mph plus cars and trucks flying by inches from you and your rig. Make no difference to me what you do, but I never move my RV without the TPMS on and operational.And yes, it has saved me money letting me know a problem long before I had to replace a tire.

RE: Foolish Things We’ve Done as Kids
The little local store was out of caps, the paper strip you ran through a cap gun. Figured since my dad had a bunch of already fired 22 shells maybe us kids could make our own caps? Broke off the heads of the wooden stick matches and crammed them into the empty shell. Then proceeded hammer them with a small sledge hammer on the concrete driveway. Worked GREAT, a louded bang than the paper caps gave out till one of the brass shells split and went flying into my leg. Not so good, could have been a bad thing had it gone into an eye or somewhere else, as it was the brass was easily pulled out by me and a band aide covered the hole. We stopped that little experiment.

RE: Buying an RV in CA from private party
I've purchased two different vehicles from people (not dealers) in Ca and I live in Az. Zero sales tax paid to Az or Ca. Here if you buy from a private owner, from any state, Arizona will not charge you sales tax.

RE: flat towing a toad
We opted to have a nice vehicle to drive when not being towed, so went with a Cadillac 2015 SRX front wheel drive. Tows great, very easy to make ready, no fuses to pull.

RE: Remove logo on Flexsteel captains chairs arm rest.....
I saw a video a while back and the emblem has to get peeled out of the chrome holder, carefully maybe using a hair drier to warm the logo. Once that peels out, there are 2 screws holding the chrome thing to the arm rest.

RE: Stay and Play VS Unified Tow Brake System
I had the Stay & Play installed in my 2015 Cadillac SRX and have had zero issues with it in about 18,000 miles of towing behind 3 different RV's. Easy to turn on and forget about it once you set it up.

RE: Tire Blowout damage to underbelly
I went to the heating /AC company that made duct work and had them cut and bend a piece of metal to fit the entire slide out bottom perfectly to fit under the rubber seal edge. Used sealer to the bottom of the slide out that was torn up by the tire losing a tread. Then installed the metal and screwed it up to the existing wood. Made sure the sealer I used covered all the screws and it was water tight, sealed up and never to have another tire do damage like that. Total costs was under $30 for everything and maybe 1 hour of my time.

RE: Resealing DRV A/C Dometic Penguin II Unit On Roof
As a old auto body shop owner using 3M products always did waht they were designed to do and using the foam sealer tape I used was designed to stop water migation under a truck cap. Having one side of sticky it allowed the tape to seal to the unit and float on the roof top. The sealant dries and is not sticky once set so for the following 6 years of ownership of the DRV trailer and having no further leaks, I guess it worked as I had expected. If at the time the factory seal was available I would have purchased it, but where I was there was no seal. I did the next best thing and got the fix done. No big deal as I have learned a long time ago there may be more than one way to get the job done and have it work.
