oh well, guess my sense of humor has 'offended' someone. They've pulled my post with the license plate from the 'Sex in an Airstream' thread. hmmmm, maybe someone actually DID figure this out??? lol
Thanks, Derek

Bumper Removal
Here's a new one. Have soaked the ever-livin' out of the bolts on my bumpers, but those durn things refuse to budge. Anyone with suggestions, they surely would be welcome.
Thanks, Derek

12V Handbook & Chevrolet Motor Home Chassis Service Guide
Maybe the book is for Boats, but I've read through this book already, and it's relevant to just about everything we deal with. Can't wait to see what I'm missing with the Chevrolet Motor Home Chassis Guide.
Thanks, Derek

What are you soaking the bolts with? Have you tried PBS Blaster? I have had good luck with BG In Force. This stuff truly is liquid hammer and chisel in a can. IT loosened my bumper bolts so could polish them on my Airstream.

Try equal parts of auto trans fluid and acetone. It's been tested many times and out performs all commercial products.
Good luck, Dan

BG In Force is the best stuff. It wicks into the bolts really well. I think you can find it online. It is sold to auto techs similar to Snap On tools by a traveling salesman.

Ok,
I sure wish I could say what I've done to get this to happen, but after all of the wiring I've done over the weekend (on the back of the battery tray) I realized a bit ago, when I was finished last evening, that the light @ the electric door steps had come on last evening. Now, I sure as heck could tell you which battery operates that light.
BUT! I figured out which battery, it's the engine battery. I just got my Airstream started! 1st time in over 2 months that the engine has turned over. Jeez, why did I wait till it was pitch dark to figure this out. I just wanna go for a little joy ride!
Thanks, Derek

Derek,
Congrats! With a cheep 12 volt tester (auto zone about $6) that clips to a ground and has a sharp probe that will light up the handle when power is found will allow you to check which battery power is flowing from. Attach the clip to a ground on the fuse block of choice, disonnect one of the battery arays and check fuses. I've found all kinds things that I would have guessed sourced from the other battery. When you get going, lets pick a camping spot to your south and try to get together.

HELP???!!!
Got all of the wiring back together at the battery tray last night, and now the motorhome won't start at all. Anyone have the wiring schematics for '88 or '89 Classic Motorhome? I get all of the stuff to 'light' up when I turn the ignition key, but no starter. I've got to have something wired incorrectly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Derek

Would there be any difference in wiring from an 83 to an 88/89? I'd be happy to scan the schematics from mine as I have the complete owners manual - just let me know.

I'll post photos in a bit, but does anyone have the electric waste water valves in their Classic motorhome? I've got the switches, but guessing that the valves have been replaced. Wires are there at the current valves, but no motors.
Wondering if I need to even bother trying to get these working again.
Thanks, Derek

Hi Dan,
At this point, I'll take what I can get. ANYTHING for reference. Raveson is mailing me some copies that he has, he's posted some pix here as well, but his set-up is not like mine. Guessing that some PO has made changes on mine.
I'll PM you next.
Thanks, Derek
