MAYCO's 1982 310 TD

[Jhestes]

Where can I purchase a sewer hose that will fit my 1988 345. It is larger in diameter than the hoses in the supply stores.
Thank you
Jamie Estes

I'll try to dig it up, but I'm away from home for a few days, if I don't get back to you within a week PM me so that I get an email.

Thanks Rob. No rush, we are headed south for a couple months before I’ll get to it but I’d like to order it and have it ready. I’ll hit you back If I don’t hear from you.

Jamie, my guess is that you have Thetford fittings on your sewer hose outlet. They are larger than the more popular Valterra fittings you find in most stores. You may have to order a new fitting for your hose and swap it out

There is also an adapter available which is something I use. Only issue is it doesn’t seal well on the Thetford side, at least for me.

Mike, I know someone with a several spools (100's of ') of the small in black and possibly the wider as well. I will keep you posted on what he has, once he brings it over here.

That’s awesome Peter, let me know what’s up.....thanks so much

We are about to head south for the second annual BBQ TOUR of the south next week. We will be traveling along US45 for a good bit once we get out of IL. In general, we’ll be headed down through west Kentucky and Tenn, eastern MS, and western and southern AL until we hit the Gulf near Ft Walton FL.

Last years BBQ winners were both in Tuscaloosa AL, Dreamland bbq and Archibald and Woodrows....though we hit several others that were fantastic. We are going to take it slow on the way down and have a couple COE parks we want to go back to.
If any of you folks have recommendations for real deal BBQ JOINTS along that rough outline of travel let me know. We will wander off the beaten path for good BBQ.
Happy Holidays TO ALL.

Sounds like fun

To bad you're not traveling down I-75......

[mayco]

I’m telling you Brad, it would be soooo cool to visit your shop and get a hands on look at both Argosys AND the TR. one of these trips we will slide over that way.

Better do it before I retire, who knows where I'll be after that

Looks like a great escape from this gloomy weather. I grew up here but 35 years in Colorado really have missing the [emoji274]. My parents escaped to st George island every February. Ann and I had accompanied them since 2006 until a couple years ago. 231 took us through Dothan and a bunch of small towns down toward port st Joe. We stopped at some really great bbq places along that route but can’t remember any specific one. If you are into oysters I can recommend some great places around Apalachicola. The piggly wiggly in Apalachicola had their own smoke house. Bought some good stuff there. St. George Island is a pretty nice isolated place. We always rented a beach house but the state park is nice.

One of these days, you should consider sampling the Texas BBQ and stop over for a landline and wifi, despite John's warning that I will spend all your money at the auto part store. Granted, Austin/San Antonio has turned into a traffic nightmare. But the Texas Hill country is well worth a visit for Music lovers as well as BBQ enthusiasts.
The town of Lockhart, southeast of Austin, has two competing BBQ joints, Blacks BBQ and Kreuz's BBQ, that are equally outstanding. Competition can be a good inspiration. We are having our 17th annual Christmas Rally starting tomorrow in a charming town called Blanco, west of Austin.

Another fantastic place to spent some cold winter days is in Port Aransas, at the Texas coast. We stay at the "On the Beach RV Park" or you can camp at the beach (packed sand) for $3.- a night. No BBQ, but great Redfish and Grouper.

That area looks beautiful Dave. We will be fairly close to there for three weeks.

Wakulla Springs is a pretty good day trip.

Take the boat cruise while at Wakulla springs. You will get to see gators and manatees up close!

And snakes! Turtles, birds, fish... it’s definitely worth the side trip.

Lots of local flavor around there. My mom had to go to Sopchoppy to buy pottery every year. Follow the signs down the 2 track. When you hear the banjo music, keep going! [emoji3]
