This group provides a forum for owners and operators of diesel powered motorhomes and 5th wheel tractors to discuss mechanical issues, regulatory issues (US, Canada), ownership, insurance, campground accommodations, trip reports/suggestions, and other topics relevant to large RVs and the people who drive them.

Non electrical is fine. The old ones have broken on the bottom which leaves the visor in place but unsecured. Not a biggie, but just one of those thing to take care of.

Visions of planting, fixing the cars, and doing some landscaping are upon us. That is what two days of sunshine will do. Today I will roar out to get a new battery for Martha as the 25-35F mornings killed the old one. In so.cal. I had one last for 7 years, guess that won't happen up here. Then I'll do oil changes for both, diesel purge on Martha, new door check (rear driver) on Mary, unclog the window washer on Mary, and begin to play with the vacuum lines on Mary because the mechanic who installed the engine was clueless (good for lifting, lousy for fine tuning). Then, the two large ticket items for 2018 will start to unfold: Suspension and shocks for Mary, and replace the rear end on Martha with parts from donor Jane Doe. Sometime in the summer I will evaluate the fate of Sylvia (formerly owned by Barton in this group, and now sitting in my daughters back yard in Columbus with a blown engine, but a brand new vacuum pump).
There, that should keep me busy for a while.

I took car of my motorcycle addiction by working on mopeds. Been through 3 of them. Got 'em working then sold them.Some corrections here :
#1 : Scooters have tiny, 8" wheels and so have totally different riding dynamics , I have seen many crash and those who know them have told me they're worried I'll want to ride a Scooter too fast and so crash it .
#2: : _I'm_ the guy who lobbied endlessly and relentlessly until the V.J.L.A. tried riding tiny little Motos to Death Valley, they all had standard if very skinny Motocycle wheels and tires . I LOVE tiny Motocycles, am not sure about Scooters . no 'fast & loose' with any terms here .
Brendan, a decades long Scooter Enthusiast, once rode a classic Scooter to Death Valley and had a whale of a good time .
