Tech Talk Suggestions
Because many forum members don't have much experience in motorhomes, or mechanical aptitude, I recommend that Tech Talk "How-To" posters try to make the thread as usable as possible for folks who want to try it.

1. Avoid run-on sentences like the above Big Grin

2. Use the Enter key to break up lengthy paragraphs

3. Where possible, number and break down the narrative into sequential steps

4. Take photos where possible, and insert at the corresponding step, or, if the photos are at the end, key them to each numbered step.

If photos are blurry or poorly exposed, you can email to Bill N Y or me as we have applications that can make many adjustments. I can use my astro-photo processing apps to improve out-of focus shots in some cases. The same applies if you're having trouble resizing or posting images.

5. List and show photos of tools where possible; some folks don't know what a box-end wrench or a flare-nut wrench is. If a special tool was needed, please indicate its name and where you got it.

6. List part numbers for all parts used, and where you got them. Prices are also welcomed.

7. And if you're one who has questions about a particular thread, please post your question rather than sending a PM. Questions can be helpful to other viewers

Sometimes I think we're alone in the universe, and sometimes I think we're not.
In either case the idea is quite staggering.

Bumpity. Folks, please break up long paragraphs into shorter, more readable ones. Thanks!

Bumpity II. If you're asking for info on some accessory, appliance, or even the drivetrain or chassis, please describe what it is, including size, model number and year of manufacture.

You are much more likely to get more useful responses the more info you provide - and this also extends to your signature - get the year, model, engine, chassis builder, and length of your listed so other members don't have to ferret out that information to figure out what you're dealing with.

And breaking a post into paragraphs is also wise - readability will generate more interest than 25 unbroken lines...Wink
