700 pages. Wow...

Thank you, Griff, Leeann, TreeSeeker and all the members who have
supported this thread from its inception. I am humbled that one simple
question has brought forth a body of information that continues to grow
and give back to a unique group of RV'ers who prefer their RV paid for,
and who take on the challenging tasks (as well as the little ones) to put them on the road after a hiatus,
and keep them movin' on down the highway of our lives.

May God richly bless us all!

Griff,

Gee, where's drone delivery when you need it!

Maybe you need an emergency motocycle.

At least you're not too far out of town to converse with San Diego and Philly. My better half lived in Fairbanks when she was a kid. She took me there about 15 years ago. Great trip--two weeks in Alaska. I loved it. But, two weeks is not enough!

Been up here for almost 35 years. When I was in the service, stationed in Anchorage, I'd offer the wife a vacation anywhere in the Pacific ... she always chose Homer, Valdez, or Seward.

I was already living in Fairbanks when you were up here.

Neighbors shoot at drones out here ... and they're fairly accurate.

One of my someday projects is an old-skool rigid chopper, using an old CB550 4-cylinder Honda engine I have. (P.S. I'm a former MSF motorcycle safety instructor, former board member of Alaska Bikers Advocating Training and Education, and was unit motorcycle safety coordinator for several AF wings and divisions while in the service.)

Griff,

I had a motocycle when I was in college mostly because the cost was really low.

When my father was in college, he and his brother got a pair if 1939 Indian Scouts, and rode them from University of Michigan to Guatamala. That was quite a feat back then because there were few roads and many were dirt. Those bikes were rigid too. Ouch! What an adventure.

So im the pround owner of a 1976 coachman leprechaun on a dodge b300 chassis dont have any idea on size of the engine its a small block i know that much for sure. But thats besides the point she rough been beat up had a leak awhile back so interior paneling needs replacing sealed the roof as soon as i got it. But for its age i love it my wife and i wanna keep the retro 70s vibe and color scheme. Only problem im having is po uses passenger seat as a step ladder so now its broken wont sit up. Looks kinda funny when you hit the gas and she goes flying backwards. Need some advice on where to get a "new" seat and also one of the rear windows has a broken mechanism so need info on fixing or replacing one.

Welcome!

Find the Dodge VIN plate and post up the first part - we'll tell you what engine you have.

Another question someone else has probably alreasy figured out is the on board LP tanks how good are they and how hard would it be to retrofit the system to use bottles?


Posted By: eyeteeth on 07/17/17 08:42am

I can't speak for your tank, but when I bought mine years ago, the LP tank looked nasty. I took it to get some LP so I could test the system... they refused. So, I ended up paying to have the LP system checked... A few fitting needed some tape... but the tank, as ugly as it was... is perfectly fine.

Not sure if you're think bottles would be more convenient, but still using my original tank with one additional fitting so I can attache my grill right to it and not have to carry ANY bottles... I went the other way. lol
