GMC RV mirrors for less then $100? Yes...
Here I explain how you can adapt a mid 90s Dodge Ram an power mirrors to your rv. If people are interested then I'll make a follow up showing step by step. I'll have to figure it out but that's the fun part.

    Hey, I’ve bought an Alaskan with those attenuators unfortunately every single one seems to have blown as we had some issues with how loose they were.

    I joined the Facebook group, but I’m in the process of buying one of these (waiting on the guy to get back into town), but I have friends saying don’t do it because it’ll be too hard to find parts for such an old, rare rig. Is that true?

    • @CZGHEIB954
      @CZGHEIB954 Před 2 měsíci

      Every RV has its issues. Parts for an 80s era Nissan or Toyota will be harder to find then say a Ford or Chevy but you'll save way more on gas. Theres an argument also to be made that the Nissan's and Toyotas will break down less often. It all depends on the condition. I'd have it inspected and negotiate based on that.

    Beautiful looking Europa motorhome. This is my idea of what a motorhome should be. It's large enough for two, maybe three adults to comfortably travel the country, but it's not so large, that parking place is severely limited, you could park most anywhere. I love the work done to it. I also like the Cummins 5.9 Turbo Diesel engine. Did the Cummins Diesel come with the Europa, or was it installed by whoever had it before?

    I love, Love it! Good job I bought a 89 Toyota dolphin, six cylinder beginning of April 24. This puts mine to shame. Mine was redone inside and the engine was partially rebuilt more than a decade ago. It has 93,000 miles. I thought that was a lot, but I guess it really is it when it comes to these vehicles. All the paperwork is with it a big binder. Of course i don’t have all the digital bells and whistles that my Sportage has. The first thing I’ve done is changed all the lights to LEDs. I still have to get it licensed, but it’s in good shape. Those bathrooms are impressive. I’m having the toilet and Black tank taken out and the old refrigerator. I want a 12 V I have three solar devices, but eventually I hope to get solar put in. I want the booth taken out and a new sink installed. They cannot get any other kind of toilet, but I do not want to mess with hoses and black water tanks. Too many other alternatives. Heck, I’d rather do a bucket . lol. But I’m partially disabled so I have to make it easy as possible. The double sink is too big for the counter and a Lagun table put in. That will be it till next year. Fix these up and they can be resold if you decide you don’t want it. I was the first person of three parties that were going to look at it and I bought it because I knew it would be there if I thought about it too much.

    No. With today's technology do you not think that Alaskan would have done this already?? These "Electric Actuators" have been used in the marine industry for years and when they quit there's no back up there's no getting them to work. Whereas Alaskan's system has a backup. This is about as Jerry rigged as you can get.

I'm curious what his opinion would be. In fact, I'm going to be picking up a brand new flatbed from them within a couple months and I'll ask him if he's familiar with this.
