We stayed a week in the Yosemite area, 3 days in Lake Tahoe and drove to Virginia City on our way back east. You can read the blog at http...

Product similar to 303

I have been using a product similar to 303 called ProtectAll on our 2002 RSB since 2005. I am from Florida and have the Born Free parked in front of the garage with no protection from the sun. We are traveling 4 to 5 months each year and I try to put the ProtectAll on every 3 to 4 month. It has a UV...

Goodyear Tires

Gary,
I noticed that you changed tires from Michelin to Goodyear and got a better ride. Specifically what Goodyear brand did you purchase?
Thanks

Flexsteel dinnette chair difficult to swivel

I had that very same thing happen. I used a silicon spray with a long red tip and sprayed the area between the bottom plate and the swivel plate. I could barely move the chair and now it moves freely. The product I used is a silicone spray lubricant by Permatex.
I hope this helps.

Console For 2002 E-450 RSB

I have a 2002 26 foot RSB E-450 and would like to replace the front console with the new console. Is that possible? We saw the console on the new 2008 model and liked it but not enough to buy a new rig. Thanks for your help.
