    Tire balance beads

    I don't think there is any improvement vs normal weight balancing, just an alternative method. If I were changing all the tires I would have them balanced then as you indicated. At this point I was looking for a way to balance ours as an alternative to pulling them all off and hauling them to a...

    Tire balance beads

    Thanks folks for the info regarding the tire balancing beads, appears to be somewhat of a mixed bag of experience... I do have a friend that used them in his Motorcycle tires but he has been balancing with weights as of late, also know there are truckers using them as well but don't know their...

    Bedroom Ceiling light box coming loose from ceiling

    Ok, So I have it back up and attached again... Here are a few notes regarding this box... The long sides of the box have a thin trim piece of stained 1/8" plywood, this can be removed to reveal the inner box frame. The trim piece hides several pocket hole screws attaching the box to the ceiling...

    Bedroom Ceiling light box coming loose from ceiling

    2018 Newport...Has anyone had one of these ceiling light boxes apart? The same type of box is also used over the table in living and kitchen areas. There are screws driven into the ceiling from inside the box, but I don't see a way to get to them so it must have been assembled after mounting...

    Thomas Payne recliner cupholders

    I didn't ask about the cupholder... ordered and received the control box to try on the recliner since I could hear the box click when I tried the keypad (and another cupholder did not change the problem) so am going to change the control box when we get home next week. I would call them and ask...

    2018 Newport Slide Fascia detachment

    To close out this episode, it turns out I could split the outside trim pieces of the fascia away from the base of it, then drilled and countersank drywall screws underneath those pieces. It turned out that it was way too hard to get the center piece out without damaging the LEDs and the trim...

They have Lock, Vibrate, Close, Open, Heat, and Light touch sensor switches, and a flip lid that reveals the cup holder. The...

    Thomas Payne recliner cupholders

    Does anyone know where to purchase THomas Payne power recliner cupholders and control boxes? We have the rectangular cupholders with open, close, lights, heat, massage, and lock. Cannot seem to find them on the web, cupholder assemblies are made by Emomo but aren't listed on their site. Thanks, Bob

    2018 Newport Slide Fascia detachment

    Thanks, Appreciate that, There was nothing near the vertical fascia, its just plainly poorly fastened, and I'm amazed it hadn't fallen off before this. I took the Fascia assembly off yeaterday and took it into my shop. All of the brads they used... maybe 12 to 15 and not hardly long enough to...

    Winegard Traveler DirecTV SK-3005 HD Automatic Sat Dish

    Does anyone have an interest in an automatic satellite dish for DirecTV? I have a legacy model (by that I mean a Multiswitch version, Not SWM), that we used on our previous fifth wheel. This is a Winegard Traveler model SK-3005 dish, having 5 LNBs and a 4 port multiswitch (connections for RG6...

    2018 Newport Slide Fascia detachment

    Just returned from a trip to Concord NC, to find that the one of the entire fascia assemblies (there are 4, at the side walls of each rear slide) on the door side slide had come completely off the slide rear wall. The only thing keeping it from falling on the floor (or furniture, tv, etc) was...

    SOLVED: Different voltages on L1 & L2 in Landmark when using Honda EU7000IS Inverter

    We have been at the Landing Campground on 394 for the past 8 years... Was the OTBR LLC Campground previously named something else? There are a few Campgrounds on Old Thomas Brifge Rd. We'll have to drive over there and see where that one is while down there. Thx, Bob

    SOLVED: Different voltages on L1 & L2 in Landmark when using Honda EU7000IS Inverter

    Re: Why different voltages on L1 & L2 in Landmark when using Honda EU7000IS Inverter OK, so now I have made some progress: Verified that the Honda EU7000IS is not Grd-Neutral bonded, per Honda documentation, so worked up a G-N bonding plug to insert into one of its 20A GFCI duplexes...

    SOLVED: Different voltages on L1 & L2 in Landmark when using Honda EU7000IS Inverter

    Re: Why different voltages on L1 & L2 in Landmark when using Honda EU7000IS Inverter Ok, Thanks! Good thought on the 30 amp adapter... I was going to try that today from my 30A NEMA plug on the Honda, rather than from its 120/240 plug to see what it reads on the PCI panel. Will hunt down...
