Re: Replacement Parking Brake Cable (rear)

Received a phone call back from Bunker Hill Cables this morning. -- They can make the cable and the price is $85.00 including shipping. From what I saw online for other cables, this sounds reasonable. They will have it out in the mail tomorrow!

Anxious not to see what I get!

Replacement Parking Brake Cable (rear)

I need a replacement parking brake cable that goes from the hydraulic/spring actuator to the lever that applies the drum parking brake on my 98 Safari Sahara coach.

Rear Heater 1998 Safari Sahara

OK, mostly curious here! Both the front and rear thermostats (which are mostly just a switch you have to get up and move for heat/cool or turn off heat/cool!) have a cooling and heating toggle switch with middle position off. The rear heat thermostat position seems to do nothing! I have not found a ...

Re: Fire extinguishers

Another good idea is about every year turn it over and tap around the bottom with a rubber mallet. This keeps the powder from getting packed to tight. They used to do this when they did the annual inspection on our fire extinguishers at school!

Re: Slide bottom wiper blade seal replacement suggestions

Are you going to stainless steel screw it back on or pop rivet it on? I replaced the pop rivets with pop rivets. First, there is the 3/16 hole in the body the rivets go into that would be difficult to screw into. Second, It is easier to reinstall pop rivets. Third, The old rivets lasted 20+ years a...

Slide bottom wiper blade seal replacement suggestions

Was relaxing in the recliner and noticed light coming in under the kitchen cabinets. Went out and checked - the lower wiper blade seal is almost totally missing on the slide out! Also it looks like there was some sort of seal on the outer slide itself that meets the body when the slide close but it ...
