    Water heater hose replacement tips

    Chris Another way is to remove an end from the water heater and drill a hole about an inch back from the end. Put a strong wire through the hole and make a loop. Tie a rope to the loop and then pull the hose from the bottom pulling the rope with it. Then attach the rope to the new hose and have...

    Macerator and dumping into toilet?

    By the way Paul, I have dumped in several different toilets and none of them overflowed. When it gets about 2/3 or 3/4 full they will flush themselves (no water leaves the tank) and your whole holding tank will pump down the toilet. You do not need to use the toilet flush handle until you are...

    Bad parts store employees (was: fuel leak at carb filterhousing)

    I was at a NAPA store yesterday and I asked the employee at the counter if they had a tube of the conductive grease to use under a distributor module. He pointed to a counter and said it would be there. I looked over the whole counter and didn’t find any. I then asked him if he could come over...

    Macerator and dumping into toilet?

    Wow- Mike. Some friend. And I thought sticking the hose in the toilet and pumping was a bit disgusting! I can’t imagine myself carrying and dumping eight or nine buckets full of s...! You should consider just getting another length of hose to reach the toilet. Much easier and faster. Emery...

    Macerator and dumping into toilet?

    I routinely pump my tank to a sewer clean out when I return from a trip. I pump about 125 feet. 75 foot of that is 3/4” garden hose. 50 feet is a 5/8” garden hose. I have dumped into toilets in the past. You do not flush it. You put the hose in the toilet and then turn on your macerator. The...

    Fun toad

    I think the car looks great. I wouldn’t buy it for a toad though. First of all it weighs 4000 pounds. Quite a bit heavier than my Geo Tracker. Also, it’s 25 years old already. Too much maintenance and hard to find parts for me. Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick, CO > > Thanks, Emery. I have...

    78 dash heat/A/C. How does it get outside air?

    Bob Only part of the air is from the outside. There is an opening in the top passenger side of the box. That brings outside air in. Not just to the defrosters. It leads into the area where the fan blower is. The rest of the air for the heater is recycled from the inside. There is an opening at...

    Chassis Grease

    Matt go to the LocknLube site. That have an end for the flexibly line of your grease gun that will free up your hands to properly use the pump. I also bought their “boot” that goes over the end of the grease gun to keep it from dripping. I doould have bought these things years ago. Emery...

    Reastoration. Exterior paint touchup.

    I found that an Acrylic spray paint worked well. I used Krylon. They had an antique white that matched quite well with the tan color on many GMCs such as my 1977 Kingsley. However, I haven’t see that color lately. Walmart used to carry it. You don’t have a signature line showing which motorhome...

    macerator maintanance

    The hair also goes down the sink drain and possibly the toilet. My wife has long hair and I used to travel with two daughters with long hair.
