    CDL

    I'm not commercial. Therefore I should not have to get a commercial license for something that is not Commercial. In fact the FMCSRs specifically exclude the CDL requirement at the federal level (and by virtue of that that state comply by setting their laws thus) if you are not commercial. If...

    IH ACCO 2.5 ton Motor Home

    The Aussies had IH make them what they call ACCO's. They're the Aussie Version of a 2.5 ton and 5 ton truck depending on the setup and they're cab over vs long nose like ours, but otherwise they're pretty much the same thing (minus different details like mid-ship winches and such). But a Deuce...

    Vinyl Cargo Cover installation instructions.

    The nice folks over at GMA cover corp sent this copy of the instructions for the Vinyl Cargo Cover. I asked them for permission to post it and they replied that they'd be happy to have us post it but also included a polite mention of their sales line numbers. I'll be posting it in the TM...

    I went to post a the Instructions for the GMA Vinyl cargo covers and there's no Articles present (nor a method to load them) What gives? IS the page not loading or is there some greater issue?

    Problems with my 800 series fuel system ! help !

    Tom, there's also a procedure to prime the system with the drain type valve at the top of the flame heater manifold and using the hand priming/flame heater pump handle in the cab. That evacuates air from the system after you've either drained the fuel filter or changed it.

    Whoa, No Brakes on 20,000# Deuce

    Seems like an annual inspection of your wheels is in order. Gotta get my yard in order with a flat area for the lift for tires so this is a fairly quick evolution. The harder something is, the more likely I am to put it off.

    Proper way to tie down cargo cover etc?

    You know, you're right, it does have a front and back. I'm not sure why I thought that. As far as I know, it doesn't secure to the bows except for at the front and back at the top of the bows. Teh front, now that I think of it, wraps around the sides and provides a pretty good wind/rain seal...

    Why crawl if ya don't gotta.....

    The deuce has enough room to crawl around under. Not quite enough room to work under. The 5 tons, they have enough room to work under, crawl under on your hands and knees practically, set up on your backside with room for head and shoulders under the body between frame rails and looking at...

    Proper way to tie down cargo cover etc?

    Interestingly enough, the new cargo covers aren't quite covered by the TMs in terms of how they attach and go on. Some things like the extra flap on the cab cover are odd and unclear in terms of how it's installed. The cargo cover is pretty straightforward. It does help that it doesn't have a...

    Bed tie downs on a deuce

    There's a kit. It's for tying down cargo, be it crates or what have you. There are 6 tie down point kits at Coleman's Surpus. Bolts, tie downs and all, just no drill bits.

    M275A1 Recovery

    I like the mirror brackets, though on mine, they were cut down and re-welded long before I bought it. The arrangement is very solid however.
