  1. Same bushing I've always used.  Home Depot part.  I bought a bag of them a few years back and handed them out to M folks.  If I can find the part online will post it or check next time I go to the store.  My lock was identical to yours with the rubber bushing holding the extension in place...felt like it was glued in place, maybe yours just slipped out of the rubber.  Had to drill out my key cylinder sono way to replace it.

  2. Deadbolt Replacement with Schlage lockset.20240501_121526(Small).jpg.7b2e0814acefab3198282fbd04fc194a.jpg

    What you have above...a non-standard long throw.

    What you need...two lap cuts and the lockset twisted out for "long" the double arrow.

    Note the different position of lock cylinder to mounting bolt holes.  Now you get to

    grind out a spot for clearance so cylinder turns freely.

    I put tape on the inside to catch filings, you don't want that in latching linkage.  Dremel with a stone worked fine.

    VIOLA...all done.  Happy wife, it matches color.  Quality mechanism Schlage BN 60 $38 at Home Depot, several colors.  Once again have foiled the Engs at Monaco.  Cut the lock set part with my 4 1/2 side grinder and metal cutting blade.  Vise on picnic table at campsite...you all carry a vise right?

  3. Funny thing happened on the way to the forum Caesar... came home from a wedding late last weekend to a lock cylinder that the key just turned, nothing happened.  11:30...dark but got out the drill and drilled out the cylinder until I could open with a screwdriver.

    Yep after extensive searching lock is no longer available.  ODD non standard bolt throw.  I got a Schlage BN60 and have modified/mated the bolt from the old lock and finishing install this morning.  I did take pics because this is going to be a problem for others someday too....will post later.

    A few years ago I pulled into a major truck stop and there wasn’t clear signage as to which way to go. I made a split second decision and went the wrong way into a dead end. I had to disconnect the car and had a heck of time getting out of there. From then on I always look at google maps to make sure I know the layout so it’s familiar to me when I get there.

    Probably that new TA at Vero Beach...I did that and ended up at the shop.   Fortunately empty an the guys let me drive through.  Not well marked.  😬

  5. CE is compression fittings.  You need to eyeball yours and be sure.  Pretty sure ours are PTC (push to connect) but it has been awhile since I replaced one.  Easiest to see the front one with genset extended. 😉

  6. Just checked mine...no plastic cabinet latches, the side slides do have kind a friction detent when fully opened or closed. 

    Good news... the wood strip on top is wide enough that the Corian lid can not be popped up and jammed.

    Bad news... there is zero access from the radio side, or the bottom.  The drawer slides in like an envelope of wood.

    I have a very thin small crowbar, about 6' long.  Looks like if you had one on each side about three inches in to avoid the slides a good pop would get it open.  Don't worry about the coming off, the drawer is put together with several of those pocket screws on the sides and underneath.  One of the slides must be jammed somehow.

    Good Luck

     

  7. Same filters from NAPA for less $$.   Three choices in spin on  33109  5" tall...   33115  7" tall... 33107  4" Tall.   All 10 micron  7" Cummins sells as "extended life".

    The above are WIX numbers NAPA just drops the first 3.  Most good parts guys/gals will know by either.  New kids like the fake parts stores, good luck.

    These are all made by WIX who probably makes the Garber as well.   

    Racor R12T 10 micron is a 33583

    I have been using NAPA's for years.  JMHO let the filter wars begin. 😁

  8. 4 inch square tube 5/16 wall 11 inches tall.

    Two points having had mine for 15 years now.

    A)I know and saw 4x wood split...not mine

    B) A friend made his 12...with just a little uneven ground one side got stuck.  Hyd jack in there to get a little lift...not fun.

    C) This info for tag axle RR10 chassis only.

    D) They fit neatly laid down next to the 150 gallon fuel tank so you can have fun on the road occasionally too!

    Happy New Year

     

  9. Will be cancelling two weeks at Curry Hammock SP... 11/26-12/10   Oceanside... my 43' fits ok a 45' would be tight on the mirrors, maybe pull back driver side.  Concrete pad, water and 50 amp. 

    You need to be conversant with FL SP reservation site.  I will coordinate a cancel time but it will go fast.  PM response ok!

  10. I have used West System epoxy and 3M 5200  a lot in marine applications, don't think you will have an issue with cracking.   If you ever try to drill the stuff after properly cured you will know why...do let it set for a week or so before doing your plate rivets.  3M 5200 comes in a quicker setting formula...48 hours and is not as runny/messy as the regular stuff.  When they say "permanent" it really means it.  If you have ever tried to remove deck or thru hull fittings on a boat sealed with the stuff you will understand.  Could probably skip the rivets, but I used them on mine too.  Old aviators and maint officers like to rivet everything, feels better when the option is a long drop.😁
