Dave - the camper looks nice on the web... Did you redo the floor in the kitchen and living room or was it always like that?
You can't see the rot in pics...

Yeah, we pulled the carpet in there and replaced it with a floating laminate. Looked way better than old brown carpet.

I guess you'd know where to look for the rot. Just like me with mine.
My carpeting is still in good shape, but I would rather do a laminate like you did... Any trick to get it under the lip of the living room slide?

I think there are a few more this year but I won't be attending them.

It certainly is a nice facility.

One GTO managed to ball it up through the fence and down into the weeds. Oops...


If I was to consider open track or longer runs in the Mustang I think I would need to look into adding an oil cooler. I could see the oil pressure down a bit as the oil got hot.

Every time something like that happens (car through the fence etc), the facility has a knee jerk reaction to suspend all events for a period.. I've seen that happen both at St Cloud as well as DCTC .... Shame that someone had to screw it up!!!

I used to always use these adapters from Canton.. Really well made and never had any leaks. I ran a remote filter and the cooler off of this adapter. I suggest -10 or -12 lines. Don't even think of running -8 as there is too much restriction..

Anybody willing to pick this up for me? I can't get down there until tomorrow evening and guessing it will be sold by then.

Good morning MN FTE!

Went to Sauk Centre this morning to look at a '06 F350 that needed some TLC and I could get cheap. Turned out to be a lot tougher shape then I wanted to tackle for the price and still be able to make a buck or two after selling it. Oh well........

Sorry, I meant to say can't, not can on the rot...

I simply pulled the slide in just a bit to get it up off the floor. It wasn't to bad then. However, stay good and thin on the material. There is very little clearance between the floor and bottom of the slide.

Yep and I just got a call back on it and he dropped another 1000 bucks off the price. I told him he still had to go lower like another 1000 lower so I will let him stew on that a while and get back to me.

Well he dropped another 800 bucks so I settled on that! Looks like there will soon be another powerstroke in the family.
