Unwanted water bed!!!!!!

If you already have the squirrel cage fan you might try cutting a piece of 1/4" plywood that will block one of the openings in the side of the trailer. Cut the wood so you can seal the edges with duc…

WINNEBEGO WONT START

DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT bypass the fuseable link with a direct wire. If the link is bad, find out why it went bad. It is a safety device to prevent a fire when a short in the ignition system occurs.…

Gary,
About your fj top. First make sure it's fiberglass and not some kind of abs. Send me a pic of the damage and I can tell you how to fix it.

Hey, Gary a rebuilt on it would be a great "old school" project! Love engines we can work on without a darn computer. You could probably get some great performance out of a rebuild with your own cam, carb and header choices.

Man, that would be FUN!

Take good care.

Hey, welcome Gary to our little group!

See you live in paradise... it's 45 degrees here at the cabin and i have to winterize everything this week so it doesn't turn into an icecycle. Speakin of cycles... yours looks pretty cool. Always like the idea of a camper like yours and either an iron horse mounted on back or towed.

Give use a holler if there's anything we can give you are 2cents worth on your restoration. Some good tips alreayd in our Forums and folks individual blogs on restoring vintage and classic campers... which is THE way to go as far as we are concerned.

By the way, you might also like some of the DRY CAMPING links like Cowboys daily blog on his rvs and motorcycle and maybe also Jims Videos of runnin his sand rails and various other toys just south of you at Glamis.

keep on goin down the road.
pat
