    LED Headlights

    man I SO wanted a cascadia when we were looking! hope this lighting issue works out for you. I got in a hurry - trying to wrap up the body work, paint etc from our blow out so I could make it out to Barber Vintage Fest a couple of weeks ago.....so I just went back to the shitty OEM lights...im...

    Fueling during the last trip.

    Damn Bob that sucks! Diesel here in NW Houston is $2.75 Im headed out to Birmingham next week and fuel at my normal (Flying J, McCalla Al) stop is $3.13 Queen City is $2.79 so ill more than likely take advantage of that and top up in Meridian and then top up one final time before heading...

    Fueling during the last trip.

    I should have said - Im as cheap as any....but we try not to chase fuel. Getting too far off the interstate is a crap shoot and I'm more interested in getting to our destination and making time. I'm a splash and dash (think F1 pit stop) kind. We run Texas to Virginia a lot (grandson, family...

    Fueling during the last trip.

    We tend to use Flying J more than anything - with the exception of a few that we know are consistently cheaper - Queen City (Meridian Ms), at the I-20/I59 interchange SpeedWay (Dandridge Tn), at Exit 412 I-40 (just north of Knoxville) - the speed way is a cross the street from a Loves (that...

    My new conversion

    I guess I must be lucky....Im able to get our 42 foot coach in & out of lots of places (including parking lots & around turns)...hell I even put it in my driveway w/out going over the edge or getting into he grass.

    LED Headlights

    Daniel & I have discussed these (and others) - I dont know anyone thats using 'em (yet). I did see a pair on a truck the other day (during the day & the led tube/lines were on) - they looked strange but ok IMO, caught my eye cause they were unusual. You can buy them cheaper (google) - I think...

    LED Headlights

    Im familiar w/ that problem - especially w/ HID bulb & ballast modifications - the beam or hot spot of the bulb is not in correct position for the reflector and so you get poor light placement and pattern. The LED "bulbs" have better positioning (theyre not as long as a HID) and some better...

    LED Headlights

    Man I hope those 8700 Evolution 2s work for you! I didn't realize the Coronado headlights were the same (7") size as Jeep Wranglers...thats nice you have a "standard" size headlight. Ive been thinking about using LED "bulbs" in my Columbia - but they have a weather seal/hatch on the back that...

    Truck conversion meet and greet rally

    I doubt it, I mean how would anyone know. It reminds of the airstream crap "air streams are hand build"....well DUH, ALL trailers, 5er's and Coaches are hand built....even our Haulmark! Truck conversions aren't stamped out like cars on a automated assembly line. Ive been places where people...

    Truck conversion meet and greet rally

    We're flexible - no kids at home (I work from home). Im sure we'll be in Virginia the late part of May (Grandson's birthday) - so either side of that would work well but, I'm not afraid to drive. Folks chime in w/ dates (holiday weekends could make availability a challenge)....I'll be happy to...

    Truck conversion meet and greet rally

    I would say spring or fall (so we can take advantage of the fire places) ;) But even the hottest summer in Tennessee is cooler than Texas (or Florida). I know about the Loves Truck Stop and Fuel - because we stop there for (cheap) fuel and its close to where I had the steer tire...

    Insurance Alternatives ??

    We had Bluesky for a year or two and they jacked the rates (because Texas politicians let them)...we moved to Allstate (without issue) and saved a BUNCH of $

    Truck conversion meet and greet rally

    With enough time/planning anything is possible, I think this is something to consider for next year but am open to suggestions. Anchors Down RV Resort is centrally situated (In Tennessee). Calculating milage for those at the edge/distance wise.... under 1000 miles for both Bob86ZZ4 (Bob W) &...

    Storage bay latches

    11+ bucks a latch doesn't sound bad until you realize you need 20+ ;) IIRC southco wanted $40 or more per latch. I found the (90mm) C5 Sealed lever Compression Latch part number decoder Are yours the round button / C5 90mm?

    Storage bay latches

    I replaced a couple on mine (key busted off or something) back in 2013. IIRC the p/n can be found by removing the latch. Removal is easy just pull the simple flat bar clap that pinches it to the door. Ive not hand any problems with the finish - replacing them all to convert to stainless/chrome...

    Truck conversion meet and greet rally

    Really depends on the time of year for the location. I have discussed this with some others (John H & Sam) a little. John H is selling his coach, so he's probably out. I suspect Bob W. will recommend the HDT (5er) Rally at the Kansas State Fairgrounds in Hutchinson Kansas the middle of...
