Bulb seal as most of you know that the bulb seal loses the material inside and all you have is the exterior skin, I was thinking of replacing it at some time, so I was using swimming pool noodles from the dollar store to seal it. while I was visiting a farm I saw in the barn a can of foam...

I tried removing pinstripe from a car fender, I was worried about the paint finish, so I used a heat gun from about 1 ft away with the low setting, it loosened the pinstripe, I was holding my fingers close to the direction of heat, so as not to get it too hot, I was able to remove pinstripe with...

Lucky I agree with your observation, wheelbase is important for towing, anyone who tried to rent a trailer from U-Haul if they had a jeep wrangler 2 door, they try to get you out the door faster than a bullet. I think that was one of the main reason Jeep introduced the 4 door wrangler, so their...

I am very familiar with the 4.0 GC I had a 99 model, it had relatively strong engine, but around 175k they start having transmission problems if they are not maintained well. I am also familiar with the Subaru cars, strange 4 cylinder (like Porsche) but did timing belt/water pump for a friend of...

Hersbird is your Chrysler Aspen a 4.7 or a 5.7 ? I tow our 21ft classic Hi-lo with Jeep Grand Cherokee and it has a Dodge 5.2 engine, it has no problem pulling the trailer aside from the fact that suv have shorter wheelbase than trucks so that can be a factor. I think most newer trucks are built...

Garry the jig will be one time use only, so as long as it holds its shape for 10 seconds its ok to catch in flames, you will be amazed how red hot steel can be bent in short period of time, you can also wrapped the jig with thin sheet metal to give a little protection.

If you can get the back section with rounded corner cut, then you have the general shape of it, make a jig out of plywood, get a length of 2" square tubing and heat the part that needs bending with a torch until the heated part is red (you may have to use oxy acetylene to get it that hot) then...

Dee, The drive wasn't bad, there are a lot to do there, but we drove to the overlook part, there is a country store on top and the view from there is great, I believe somewhere close by Karl Wallenda back in 1970 performed a high-wire walk across the gorge. but yes Ga power has something to do...

We spent 3 days on our 1st camping trip for this year at Tallulah falls camp ground near tallulah gorge GA, lots of scenery, and small town shops close by along with a bunch of country stores.

It is rare to see them around here, if there are any they are rotting under some tree and hasn't moved in years.

Good thing you found your toggle switch, I didn't know there were any Radio shacks left. I usually can find 30A toggle switches at any auto parts stores, like Advanced and Autozone.

Hi Charlie B the good thing is the fact that you have all the pieces that you can duplicate, a while back I was watching a video on youtube for an early 60's Shasta restoration, the guy that restores them was using all the rotted pieces as a template to make the new ones with better connection...

Not bad, the current look, reminds me when I was connecting to Bulletin Boards using dial up modems some 20 years ago.

If I was you, I would go to the dealer, and check it out by touching the water damaged area, if it soft only in that part, then it is easy repair, and offer them $1300.

Interesting, just make sure the fiberglass top is secured well. I suppose those of us that have the Hi-Lo classic has the front and rear end already rounded for aerodynamics.

Mel, that was 4 years ago, I doubt any of that water is left.

Luke, Some pictures of the damaged area would help in figuring out the best approach. if you are only replacing the panels, you may not need to separate the 2 half's.

When my windowr was leaking water, it was doing it when it rained, and I could see the kitchen window was getting wet on the inside, I got a garden hose and sprayed that side all along the window until I found the pin hole on the outside sheet metal, and it was a small hole, applied small amount...

Hello Luke first, you should not feel bad that you found out there was something wrong with your camper, most of us did also found, still finding and you either repair it yourself or pay someone to do it. second, it might look intimidating to figure out where to start, but look at it this way...

your main concern should be the transmission on your Honda, I am not sure if you even have trans cooler is going to make a difference, this generation odyssey has weak transmission and it will fail.

So you are basically an anti truck and suv person, you should have said this from the start, nothing wrong with being friend of the environment, I also like the environment, so are all the people who like and enjoy camping, you have total right to drive what is good for you, however, you should...

Michelle58, So what kind of hi-lo camper do you have or planning to get?

Hersbird, Technically you are saying you know more than a Chrysler engineer ? when we had our Nissan Quest minivan, we loved using it for what it was intended for, seating 7 people and comfortably going on vacations, but we never thought of using it to tow anything with it. why do you think big...

HardlyLurking you keep bringing up numbers regarding load and braking... as I told you before, when engineers design any product, there are certain items to meet before they start anything.. namely what is the purpose of the product, in this case a minivan vs a truck, just from the start there...

HardlyLurking it seems that you like your minivan and just like anything else, minivan were designed with a purpose of moving people, use of inside space for most capacity, but I don't believe they were designed for towing, sure there are 2 dr sport cars, like mustange or a camaro with best...
