RE: Admin, how do we talk to YOU?
I bet the dog calls you Paw Paw. How about the grand kids? Pa Pa?
Naw, these grandkids of mine don't speak any better than I do. My oldest (he's 10) says MoeTale instead of Motel. So Paw Paw is purty accurate.
They got the slow draw like me.
My dog is so small, she ain't even got paws. She gots little fangurs.

RE: Admin, how do we talk to YOU?
According to the calendar we have Hanukkah now and have Kwanzaa coming up next weekend.
And notice how the bell ringers have to watch what they say?
I'm a bell ringer and I say, "Thank you, Merry Christmas"
The day they tell me I can't say Merry Christmas, is the day they can start ringing their own durn bell.

RE: Admin, how do we talk to YOU?
I don't read the topics I find ridiculous. I certainly wouldn't waste my time replying to one.
Have a great day and a Merry Christmas. Now this one isn't quite so ridiculous.

Admin, how do we talk to YOU?
Ok, so I have a problem with the way this site is managed. I ask a few questions and get a basic reply. If you don't like it, talk to admin. So I try to PM admin and get a popup that says, this member only accepts PMs from his buddy list.
OK Soooo, how do we talk to the admin if his door is not open?

Locked? Why?
Why did this thread get locked
You do realize that most of us are customers of site sponsors and we hate being treated like inmates in Mayberry.
You keep pulling yout trigger for no reason and I can garrentee some letters to the sponsors and managers of this site.
You had no call to lock down a civilized thread. You just done it cuz you could.

RE: fiberglass propane tanks
If I'm an expert on anything, it's BLEVE Disaster and Potential. BLEVE = Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion. BLEVE is the resulting explosion caused by pressure vessels involved in fire or extreme heat.
There are pros and cons with both types of cylinders. Don't let anyone convince you that a steel propane tank is safer in a fire situation than a composite tank is.
They will both fail after a short duration of flame impingment.
Fiber tanks tend to split and spew with an intense jet type flame. The fire will increase in size and intensity until the propane burns off. Your RV will probably burn to the ground. But the rubber neckers can stand across the street and watch it happen while the fire Dept fights the fire and protects other exposures with a certain degree of safety. Fiber tanks seldom explode all at once.
Steel propane tanks on the other hand tend to BLEVE, that is,,, over 40% of the time, they BLOW UP - ALL AT ONCE -- after short durations of flame impingment. Especially if the flame is on or near the top in a vapor space.
There are safety features built into both types of cylinders. Both types of cylinders have great safety records. Both types of cylinders command respect -- making your choice of cylinders basically that, your personal choice. Just don't let anyone convince you that a steel tank is safer in a fire.
As an Industrial Fire Capt with many years of propane fire experience and who has designed certified training modules on the subject, I can tell you this: I'll take Fire over Explosion ANY DAY. That being said, I have well maintained steel cylinders on my RV.

RE: how do you measure a fiver's length
I always measure mine like this. "Can I get into -- and OUT of that parking lot?"
Haha, made me smile...thanks!
My fiver is a forty footer by itself. When I hook my long bed crew cab up to it, it goes from a forty footer to a forty ACRE!
Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around...
Telling on my age, ain't I?

RE: Help- Where's my converter located? Holiday Rambler
My old HR had two storage boxes in the forward end of the main body, under the master, facing the tailgate of the TV.
On my HR 5th wheel, the converter was inside the port side front storage box, on a shelf up in the top.
If its not there, look for a small fan somewhere. Most converters have a small cooling fan that gives away their location behind a wall or panel.
Good luck

From the front to the back??
Or back to front...
But do you go down the side? Crawl up on top? Crawl under? This could end up being a multipage thread...

RE: Texas Crud
I'm no crud expert, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
Texas Crud is the same as the Creeping crud, West coast crud, Canadian Crud, Cisco's Crud and I even got the crud in Saudi Arabia last year. Know what they called it? Yea, Saudi Crud.
I live in Texas and I think Crud is Crud. It's a combo of Bronchitis (Spelling:R) and sinus funk yuk. Crud = Upper respiratory infection and irritation -- in most cases -- brought on by winterizing the RV.
I hope the love of yer life feels better soon. I always take Vit C and Albuteral treatments for it. I'm an EMT, so I can self medicate with Albuteral right out of the jump bag.

RE: can you guess what this is?
I built something sorta like that for our fiver.
Those Tri-Pod king pin stabilizers cost WAY too much, so I built a Bi-Pod for mine. Once I get it under the pinbox, I place a ratchet strap between the legs and cinch em together.
Good job on your stabilizer.
