Great to hear!!! PM me your address. I'm going to try like he** to make it if MisterCMK can bring his A/C stuff with. I work for the State of MN at MN State University in Mankato. Right now, I'm not even sure if I'll have a job beyond June 30, so CHEAP is the word these days.

A/C is the biggest priority right now. I can get the parts relatively cheap from RockAuto.com. I'm not so concerned with fixing the oil leaks as I am just figuring out where it's coming from. If I can get that far, I'm halfway there. I'd like to do a down pipe swap, but that will have to wait for another day with $$$ issues.

Sounds like a plan Mike! I am hoping to be there for at least one of the days. Probably won't know until that week though for sure.

You hit the nail on the head there.

I'll do some checking around. Could always use the yard too, I'm sure there is room for a few campers here.

Mine is a pop-up FWIW so I don't need much space.

YEAH ... looks like my employer (MnSCU / MN State Mankato) will continue operating in the event of a MN Government shutdown!!

Looks like I'll likely be heading up to WI at the end of the month.

I need to replace the A/C Condenser and Accumulator/drier and figure out these f'ing oil leaks.

What info do I need for the A/C Condenser and Accumulator. I can get them from rockauto.com for inexpensive.

This being my first GTG ... I need some basic info.

Where and what time?
What tools do people have for A/C stuff? I don't have any other than basic sockets and wrenches.

Anything else I need to bring?
