RE: RDS fuel tank install question
I just put a RDS tank in my 2007 Dodge 3500. The filler tube was rubber for most of the run. Just cut about 1 1/2" out and pushed in the T-fitting. Metal tubing would make the installation alot more involved I think. Good luck. I really like the tank except when I go to fill it up.

RE: RDS auxillary tank question
Thanks for the replies. Jim the locking cap is what came on the tank when I ordered it from RDS. Dr. Baker I have yet to fill it up to the top so I don't know if it would splash out of not. Sometimes I just worry too much, according to my wife. Will transfer the fuel and see what happens.
Thanks again

RDS auxillary tank question
Couple of week ago installed a RDS tank with a locking cap at the top, in my truck. Everything is working good and like it's supposed to. Question is we got in to a heavy rainstorm while parked one night and when I removed the locking cap, the cap had water dripping from it. Hoping that the cap keeps water out of the tank. Anyone had water in fuel after a car wash or heavy rain when running with an auxillary tank? Just trying to ease my mind a little.
Thanks

RE: What is the cost?
We had the carpet and all flooring replaced in our 34' 5th wheel recently and the labor was $800.00. Replaced with Allure in the main area and new carpet on one slide and in the bedroom. Took a crew of 2 guys about 12 hours. Did a better job than I could have done. They pulled up the old stuff, leveled the floor and put down the new stuff and trimmed it out.
total cost was about 1300.00.

RE: Fairbanks campgrounds
Thanks Joe B, I'm pretty sure the rig will need washing and the tip about Sourdough Sams is good to know. We are planning on spending several days there before checking out other sites. I'm printing out your directions and sticking them in the travel book. Thanks again

RE: Bedroom Door Window Covering
I had the same problem. Used mirror type clips attached to the frame around the window. I was able to use the screws that held the frame around the window on to secure the mirror holders to the frame. (May have to get longer screws due to the width of the mirror clips) Put them down the side and the bottom. Cut a piece of white cardboard type material (bought at Hobby Lobby) to size and slid it in from the top. Blocks the sun out and blends in with the door.
Good luck

RE: Fairbanks campgrounds
Thanks for the help. We have been to Alaska once before and did not make it to Fairbanks. This year we are going back and want to spend some time there.

RE: How many miles on your ford 7.3
97 F250 7.3 bought new now has 117000. Replaced ball joints, starter, waterpump, glow plug relay, couple of sets of tires and two sets of batteries. Also one CPS and then the factory recall for that item. Other than that its been a good truck and with the Banks system put on makes it think it can keep up with the newer trucks. Will keep this one till I don't need a truck anymore.

RE: Passport book or card
Great point, haven't even thought about that angle. Makes sense though. It's not that much more money anyway.
Thanks!

RE: Passport book or card
Thanks for all the quick responses. I think I will get the card because it sounds like it will allow me entry back into the US. I don't see air travel outside the US in my future.
Thanks JackD, that was the infomation I was looking for.

Passport book or card
Planning on a trip to Canada and my passport book is expired. Found that you can get a passport card for land travel to the US from Canada and Mexico. Will Canada accept the passport card to enter their country? Had a friend who just got back from crossing into Canada and he was required to show a passport book. Just trying to see what I need to get, renew the passport book or get the cheaper card.
thanks.

RE: Allure flooring (did you go over the vinyl)?
We had our 5th wheel done with Allure recently. We replaced the carpet on the slide with new carpet. The guys who did ours removed the vinyl and the old wood flooring, got down to the plywood flooring. They put down a leveler and then put down the Allure.
We went with a dark mahoganey finish, its what Home Depot had in stock and not a special order finish.
Good luck
