Welcom erinwi.  The group is growing at a steady rate now.  When the summer winds down we should have a lively bunch on our chats.

Hello, just joined up! We have a 1984 Winnebago ElanDan 31RT with a Chevy 454, just getting new Hedman Headers today. The old Cyclones (20 yrs old!) finally gave up the ghost this last weekend on a trip from Portland, Or to Bellingham, WA (Home). Talk about LOUD!! We've had the ElanDan for around three years now, and really love having it. I sure get tired of the electrical gremlins though, and the prev. owner didn't have a clue about using different color wires ir how to do it neatly!

Jazzin11, you have found a home.  We all have older rigs and fight the gremlins all the time.  Welcome!  I found on mine that when I cleaned the ground to the frame, a lot of my problems went away.

Hey John...
Welcome...
At least your'e in the right business! OIL!

Since I've been reading this forum I dont' feel as bad about the really sucky gas milage I'm geting.
Now if I could just get the plugs changed and drive her to Texas...  3 mpg sucks!
oh yeah! I'm in Texas... the MH is in Ohio!  One of these days I'll get it all straightened out....
Now to find a really cheap (free) parking space. here....

But on the really bright side, NO EPA stuff... and two 50 gal gas tanks.....
only 75 gal usable at the moment, but I have pipe cutters!
I got a new exhaust system, the mech machined the manifolds, and put the heaviest pipe I've even seen on them, as well as welded mufflers.... said it was the same stuff they use on semi's..
Duel exhausts..... sounds sweet!
Almost like my Harley!
Guess I'd better get some chrome tips on the exhaust ....

Welcome aboard JK WOODROW. Glad to have you aboard.  What kind of rig do you run, or are you looking?
