penthouse J-hook rattles?

Glad you solved that problem, but I'm a bit curious why your J-hooks rattle in the first place...(?)



I keep mine screw-adjusted so tight that they never rattle. Am I doing it wrong? :)

Great idea!



I haven't worked with regulators before, but yes I think I can understand now how it wouldn't be difficult to use only one regulator. The gauge will show the output pressure when...

Nice! Same issue here. I didn't know these regulators existed!

I'll probably want to get two of these, as I run different front/rear tire pressure.

Awesome idea, thanks! I have a 2" memory foam pad I fold up under the middle (hanging) section of the penthouse bed, but even that isn't enough extra padding for me. And there's no room up there to...

I replaced front anti-sway bar links on my 2004 Sportsmobile 4x4. Note that the old link has acquired a stretched "C" shape rather than the expected "O" :)

I've found that the rear A/C blower unit has been bouncing around under the rear seat. Not bouncing much, but enough to disconnect the drain hose.

It's not really a big deal, but I decided to...

For my fridge, it looks like it might be part 422508810 (https://www.laurelhurstdistributors.com/parts/refrigerators/norcold_acdc_DC0051.html), so try googling Norcold 422508810...

Re: What did you do to your SMB today?

Yeah, it was pretty tight even after removing the two screws. I used a flathead screwdriver -- in the four divots you can see in my photo (well 3 are visible) -- to carefully pry it out.

Re: What did you do to your SMB today?

My 3rd brakelight has been out for at least a year now (since someone pointed it out to me).
