You cross a bridge onto Fidalgo Island when you go the Anacortes Ferry, and another bridge (Deception Pass) to south crosses to Whidbey Island. These are also worth spending time on as well as the...

If or when your fuel pump goes, that access port will save the mechanic hours, allowing the job to be done in an hour. Removing the fuel tank is a big job, and the only other way to change the pump...

For those looking for a camping cover, the Adco 2509 is the best one I’ve found. It wraps around to cover the side windows, and then you can put those windows down for extra ventilation sine the...

Yes, in a 2 wire millivolt system, the wires run up the wall to the thermostat as well as powering the internal gas valve. Easy enough to tell by measuring voltage at thermostat.

I grew up driving rear wheel drive cars in wintry conditions even though I now live on the west (wet) coast. My experience with limited slip is that you get far better traction when starting out and...

As a former Rialta owner (2002 so a 24 valve VR6) I totally endorse the Rialta groups.io site. I suggest the tech site is a better place to start than the above at https://groups.io/g/Rialta-Tech....

No matter what, DO NOT USE propylene glycol (automotive) antifreeze for plumbing. RV plumbing antifreeze is not poison, though I’m not sure it’s healthy it won’t kill you. But one unfortunate...

For stays longer than a few days, when we have our ebikes for local transportation, I tend to leave macerator hose installed and if possible screwed into the RV park sewer inlet. You are right that...

Are we sure the original poster used the correct terminology? A 1986 RV seems unlikely to have a factory installed inverter. Most RVs through the early 2000’s and even today had a Converter, not...

Remember that you can’t compare amperages at different voltages. On the 12V side a 10 amp draw will only drive a 120 watt device. But on the 110V side, a 10 amp draw will drive an 1100 watt...

Note also that older converters can overcharge batteries and “boil off” the fluid in lead acid batteries, even if newer deep cycle batteries. In my case I upgraded my 2008 RV to a 3 stage smart...

This auction eventually went up to $43,000, still pretty high in my mind for a 1999, but obviously because of low miles and current popularity of RVs. The post 2002 models are more desirable due to...
