JH,

The bungs may just be for positioning of tubing while in tube bending machine. Temperatures in intake & exhaust sysems are used to evaluate efficiencies of heat exchangers, turbo sections, cylinders & more. The test data is evalutaed by the engineer, not me.

Bob Kumza,

Your question of exterior vent for range hood (or microwave oven) is well timed & written much better than I would have. We will again be looking at other motor home exteriors to see what is done to vent hoods. The common $5 vents are ugly or lacking a valve to close vent when not in use. Winnebago has been mentioned as having a good vent.
My Inspire Fantastic vents usually close on rain sensor when we cook.
Fantastic is sending me rain override switches that will allow vent operation in rain.

Concerning gutters

http://www.all-rite.com/ (http://www.all-rite.com/) is sending me a sample of drip rail material. It is available in 50 & 250 foot lengths. 250' length is near $0.72 per foot.
If sample is good, I will want to sell half of a 250' length. I wonder if this is same product sold by rvgutters.

Vaughn,

Holland Neway web shows 4 zerks in front suspension that are only to be filled after rebuild due to seals that can be ruined by excess grease. This is a concern for whether grease is added in shop or at home. I will grease all front zerks, but will follow Holland directions for not ruining seals.

Bill,

What is NCC?

Concerning hitches

Inspire hitch is recessed and high. My hitch should be extended & lowered to better suit my toad. The local metal shop said insurance will not allow them to touch a hitch. CC has not provided any direction on hitch modifications or replacement. At least 7000 pound capability is needed for my toad. If you know of a source of replacement hitches (receivers), a shop that will modify the existing hitch or another solution, please write.

BlueOx makes a number of different hitch extentions and drops.I had to use a 6 inch drop hitch to tow my 04 Sierra using the BlueOx towbar.
