Ha, you are right. I randomly checked some other parts (steering column, instrument panel, o-rings, etc.) and they all say to replace periodically.

I am stuck at a campground near Silver City, NM. I have been here for a few days and yesterday I moved my trailer to another campsite. Everything was fine, no dash lights or any warning. Up to that point the brakes have been fine. After I moved the trailer, I parked my vehicle and left it for a...

I had a similar problem with my RedArc. It would occasionally not connect properly and I would have to plug/unplug the 7-pin connector a few times to make it work. A few months ago I had a flat tire on my trailer and when I removed the wheel I noticed that one of my brake wires had been rubbing...

Does yours have a cool box in the center console? On my 200 the AC will not turn off is the cool box is on.

I too was super nervous the first time that I towed my Airstream 60 miles to my home. Now I don't even think about it. I recently towed almost 500 miles in west TX during a wind advisory and I barely noticed it. Since there is little vegetation, you don't realize how windy it is until you step...

Adding some more "character" to my LX. Big Bend NP.

How do y'all recycle your AHC fluid? Our local recycle center says that they take hydraulic oil but I'm pretty sure they just dump it into the large container with all the other oil. They also take motor oil, power steering fluid, gear oil and trans fluid.

I'd choose an LX/LC based on the tailgate alone.

Whenever I get an odd array of warning lights the first thing I check is for mouse/rat damage somewhere. It's an ongoing problem where I live.

great video, especially the subtitles :rofl:

This is not so much a stupid question, but a stupid thing that I did yesterday (maybe that should be a new thread!). I was removing a bolt with a ratcheting box end wrench and not really paying attention when it started to slow down. I realized that I had backed it into a relatively immovable...

Been there, done that!

While we are on the subject, this is how I typically keep my second row seats. I can quickly fold them up to haul stuff, or quickly open them up for passengers (rarely use). The blanket is for protection and to keep the leather from rubbing against the front seats when folded.

There are adjustable straps under the 2nd row seats that hook onto the rear grab handles to hold the tumbled seats up against the front seats. The front seats can be in any position, even somewhat reclined. It helps to put a blanket or towel between the front and rear seats to stop the leather...

I took mine off years ago to give the mice/rats one less place to hide.
