I have a 2010 Mazda CX-9 AWD with V6 (3.8L), no trailering equipment installed I have a 2007 Fleetwood Utah (Class III with single-sided sway bar & electric brakes). I would like to set up the CX-9 to properly tow the Utah. But, there is a great deal of conflicting information about what the...

Finished the repair in Sunday. Learned that Home Depot only carries braided metal lines, but Lowe's has both braided metal & PVC lines. So, installed two new three piece hoses (30" PVC hose + metal shut off + 20" PVC hose). The PVC lines in the lengths I chose are standard hex couplings rather...

I was getting my 2008 Fleetwood Utah ready for the camping the other day. After draining the antifreeze from the holding tank, I filled the tank with freshwater and ran water to the sink faucet using the electric pump. While it was running, I noticed water leaking from an area where there was no...

Replace the tabletop with a tabletop from IKEA's spare parts department. Use the stock legs. It will be much stronger.

Wedgies and nipples?! This IS a great message board!! [;)]

Toddlers, by nature, are flushaholics...I think they need a support group or 12 step program! (ok, maybe a ten step program because that might be the limit of their counting abilities...)

My 2 y.o. son is a great cleaner...my 4 y.o. daughter is a mini pyro...I guess it all depends on personality!

You're probably right on that. It's more likely a steel bracket, but sheet metal is much easier to find on the consumer market. You could use the same plan but beef the sheet metal up to 1/4 or 5/16.

Step 6 - find new ways to cool beer on 100+ degree day at CG [SUN] Step 7 - upon returning home, plan mods/upgrades for PUP [RTM] Step 8 - convince spouse that mods/upgrades are necessary (bribe if necessary) [LOL] Step 9 - perform mods/upgrades [MOD] Step 10 - submit story and pics of...

You could one, depending on how handy you are. Go to the local hardware and get a piece of 6" wide 1/16" or 3/32" (that's what I'd estimate the original bracket is made from) sheet metal at whatever length the hardware store has. Remove the old bracket to find what length to cut the piece to...

I have a Fleetwood and I always put the door down after the rest of the inside is set up. So, the door is last for me.

I think his problem is that he repairs "hundreds of campers a week" (BTW, this is a flagrant exaggerated, I saw three in the garage and maybe seven waiting outside...) That was just another mistake he made...never quantify the customer or make the customer feel unimportant because they're one...

One variation for the glaze: You could melt butter and mix in the powdered sugar. It's a little thicker, but butter makes everything better! [:)O]

flakeyspam: I did not escalate anything. They had already replaced the hose, I didn't find out until they called me to say the camper was ready to be picked up. Yes, if they had called me before they fixed it, I would have told them not to & I would've changed it myself. But, this was not the...

They quoted me $600, but the final bill came to $810. If they had called me about the LP hose (their charge was $80...$16 part + $60 labor + $2 "pressure test"), I would have picked one up and changed it myself. In the end, I did pay for the hose itself, just not the labor $5 or $10 over...

I'm reminded of the old sales mantra: Do something good for the customer, they'll tell their friends and family. Do something bad and they'll tell the entire world.

They need us more than we need them...that simple! Especially with campers, which are still technically a luxury not a necessity.

This is a follow-up to my previous post: http://www.popupportal.com/index.php?topic=50278.0 I picked up the Utah today and spoke to the service dept manager. I reminded him that state law says you can't go over estimate without permission. He asked if I had that in writing and I did (a good boy...
