Is there a way to put a storage up there without those middle crossbars can I hook a storage up to those side bars
@GonewithRob7 ай бұрын
Unfortunately No, not this style of storage. The crossbars would be required. There may be a soft storage that would tie down, kind of like a square nylon bag. Google - soft rooftop storage Hope that helps.

Thank you so much for the tutorial ... I'm an almost 63 years old woman with a disabled husband. Went to a mechanic to help me installed it, and he couldn't figure out how to do it. He told me I had the wrong parts. Then I watched your tutorial, and it took me step by step through the process, and voilá !! ... installed myself 😊

informative video , however starting in 74 the sink moved to the drivers side, there was a fridge/icebox and stove cabinet that went behind the passenger seat for 74/75 . in 76 they changed the cabinets again and everything went on the drivers side

Solar Tip You can steplessly dim down a bulge and all other hungry electricity consumers with a 5000W dimmer (7, EUR). I run 5 dimmers in parallel on an 850W inverter. Kettle 2.2KW at 150W runs 12 hours a day, so the water is always hot. The room is also nicely heated. 2.5KW washing machine runs in parallel with dimmed to 200...400W. Iron, dishwasher, oven, electric heater, coffee machine, all internal heating are throttled with me. Videos on my channel kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3SVoJ-YeKebnpI The inverter stays cool, quiet and the MOSFETs remain intact because no extreme current peaks arrive at the inverter. Now every Mini PV Inverter is enough to sell large devices...

this just happened to me! started as slow leak then was huge spray coming out & ONTO the hot exhaust! removed it. rebuild kit from oreilly only $8 "Holley Electric Fuel Pump Repair Kit HLY 12-807" is what you want. i dropped the tank only 3" NOT letting the nuts come off the THREE threded posts. then easy to remove one nut with socket, then other thats on the regulator with open crescent. re-doing the fittings with gas-proof liquid gasket MOTOSEAL, NOT pipe thread! i'm using the grey spring, NOT the red-painted one. red spring = 1-4psi, gray spring = 5-9psi. my system is an electris in-tank fuel pump then goes into fuel regulator to stay at about 7psi. then it goes forward to front of RV to carburetor into MECHANICAL fuel pump, which goes into the carb. make sure your mechanical pump is NEW!
