I use the email system and I have not seen the multiple JerryW signatures. So I would conclude that it’s something happening on the forum side. Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick CO > > Any one know what's going on with the names around here? > I'm seeing posts from about 20 people all...

Hi Bruce I had assumed that you would realize that I was writing this somewhat “tongue in Cheek”. Especially when I suggested a seminar on how to turn a screwdriver clockwise with a happy face after that sentence. I agree totally with you that GMCers should check their circuit breaker boxes...

Bruce, what you say is mostly true. However you do not have to be a certified electrician to check and tighten screws in electrical boxes. You said you did yours several years ago. Are you a certified Electrian? If it was several years ago you really should do it again. Any owner can easily...

I know the subject is “Charging the Towd battery” But I really don’t view my solution as charging the toad battery but rather supplying power for the Brake Buddy to prevent it from discharging the toad battery. I also realize that my hookup is putting my toad battery in parallel with the house...

Hi Tom, I used a 10 amp fuse. I figured that would be plenty in case a wire shorted and I knew the Brake Buddy drew a lot less than that. It’s been this way for about 10 years and I’ve never blew a fuse. Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick, CO > >> I also use a brake buddy. I solved the...

I used a 12 ga wire. Since the toad battery is fully charged when I hook it up the only draw is the brake buddy so that gauge has proved to be sufficient. Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick, CO > >> I also use a brake buddy. I solved the battery problem by running a wire from my house...

I also use a brake buddy. I solved the battery problem by running a wire from my house battery to my tow plug. Another wire (with an in-line fuse) runs from the tow plug to my toad battery. I have had it this way for several years. When you unplug the toad from the motorhome it disconnects the...

You say “Factory” several times. But you don’t really say GM or Coachmen. I’m sure you realize that your motorhome left the GM factory as a Transmide and that after Coachmen added the Onan, battery and house wiring it left their Factory as a Royale. So much of your warning doesn’t affect most...

I had a set of TSM (Streetrod) 4 wheel disk brakes on the rear. Those had f= our 11=E2=80=9D Lincoln rotors and Chevrolet calipers and pads. They wor= ked much better than the drum brakes they replaced. But, last summer I deci= ded to remove them and put Dave Lenzi=E2=80=99s brake system on my...

The rear brake parts, except the drums were used on many cars of that era. I once found they were identical to the parts on my 1977 Jeep Wagoneer. Emery Stora 77 Kingsley Frederick,CO > >> The parts list doesent include all of the parts in the brake assembly. >> On the street in...

Years ago I had a 1977 Jeep Wagoneer.The brake shoes and the other brake parts (except for the drum because of the 8 lugs on the GMC) for the rear GMC are identical to those used on the rear of the1977 Jeep Wagoneer. You might check under those parts at an Auto Parts shop. American Motors made...

BUT, how do you know “all other factors being equal” just by weighing the battery?You can’t see inside the case unless you cut it open. Emery Stora > > I said "All other factors being equal" which would include factors like you > mentioned. I was thinking about internal tie straps, vibration...

Sorry, James, but that is not necessary true. Years back I was touring Atlas Laboratories in New Jersey which was the testing lab for all Standard Oil companies. In their battery testing area they showed some cutaways of various batteries. They tested theirs against other brands. A couple of...

Just don’t get silicone spray on your paint or new paint won’t stick to it. Emery Stora > > Don't use wd40, it will attract dust and dirt which will lock up the sllde. You can figure out how I know. The zipdee folks explained to me to use silicone spray to get it apart and keep it working...

You don’t need to take out the rivets. Remove the screws from around the window and perhaps a couple on the back panel, take out the seats / bed and the panel will come right out. I don’t remember but you may have to remove the top cabinet as well. It’s been years since I did it but it came out...
