I thought I'd try an experiment, I found some large 5" patches on Amazon (I could have just used 3 1/2" patches).


You can see the (aged/deteriorated) rubber at the valve stem hole. I cleaned up the patch area an applied some cement.


New patch with a hole for the valve stem


Here we are now inflated to 65 psi, you can see the rubber patch laying flat (for now). The crack you see in the red is just the patch label/sticker. My goal with this is to buy time before needing to purchase new flaps, or going another route for a while....I was contemplating on sticking a piece Eternabond tape over top of patch for possibly protecting the rubber from the elements? The patch will probably deteriorate like the flap...not sure. I've got 4 more tires to do before the October rally...


While "browsing" around the rig, I noticed my 50amp shore power cord looked a little loose entering the transfer switch box.


Should have one of these on it.

When I pulled my L-rear drum off, I found these inside? At first I thought they were part of the inner bearing coming apart or something, then I looked a little closer and realize they are rivet heads from my brake linings...had a loose shoe!


This in under the forward dinette seat. My extra/spare parts storage. I have a water pump, all radiator hoses, belts, brake parts, some bearings, fuel line and filter, hydrovac parts, tube repair items engine gaskets and more. You can see some of the original orange shag carpet under there. #850 was originally a J Model.


Here's #850's born on date....May 5th


Finally installed my RVS/Ramco made mirrors I've had in storage
