I have a clear vision for my pig. Budget/time have a completely different vision. I have to accept the fact the "settling" on a 366 isn't such a bad thing. That is until Aaron went and pulled out that hoss!

Cycle is right....I fix the leak on the front drivers side, then move the wheel seal in the back...over to passenger side for a coolant leak.....and back around. If I can keep it.from leaking I can start thinking about upgrades! :-)

I thought I was done with leaks for a while, but my ICP sensor is seeping a little and I'm pretty sure my degas bottle has a pin hole in it somewhere.

On the odd chance you did get it done, you would have to start another one.

Somehow I missed this thread until now.
I'm going to try to make it this year, but with the new baby I'm not sure I'll be able to.
Hopefully our old house sells here soon. That will help tons since that's what prevented me from coming last year.

HAH! I usually start another one before one is done! I have given up on one of my projects, started another one, and bringing another one home this weekend! Plus there are things I still want to do to my dually! Like I said.....I'm never done! LOL!

I couldn't make it this year due to my mother in law having some medical problems, but I hope nothing happens next year and I can make it. I'd like to see you make it too. And Glenn, and Darin, and several more!

My slide out, the one that prevented me from making it this year, is acting up again. After switching motors from one side to the other (Bill's suggestion) it worked fine until lately. I have discovered a 'controller' that switches + & - power to bring it in and take it out. Right now it will not come in like it did last summer. I can put a battery charger on the red & black motor wires and it will go in fine, even on the 2 amp battery charger setting. To me that's amazing because its a 14' slide and has to weight quite a bit. Put the - on the red wire and + on the black wire and it goes right out, no problem. I ordered a new controller, I hope that will fix it for good.
