    harbor freight generator??

    Mine works OK but I don't have a lot of hours on it I got one 2 years ago. Works well in the summer. Starts right up. Can't get it started in the winter. But I don't use it in the winter so I'm OK with that. It runs my camper's air conditioner just fine when I'm camping off the grid...

    Retractable shower door for travel trailer

    Installation tip I just put one in. Make sure, before you stick on the receiving end vertical bar, that you do so with the plastic piece in place on the bottom. The plastic piece on the bottom is key to getting the alignment right. Don't ask me how I know. -Creek Chub

    North Dakota's Only Natural Bridge: When did it fall? And did she say yes?

    Haha, totally agree. What a douche. Here's a photo I took of the bridge the last time I saw it intact and not vandalized back in September 2016: -Creek Chub

    North Dakota's Only Natural Bridge: When did it fall? And did she say yes?

    Remember that natural bridge that used to be near Government Bay on Lake Sakakawea? For a while it seemed to be used by the state's tourism folks. But then it looks like some guy sprayed graffiti on it asking "Tab", Tabitha? to marry him. And then, presumably as quickly as their nascent...

    Is this $207 hub/bearing service acceptable?

    It's all settled. I received the boat and trailer back today with two new hubs, two new dust caps, what I presume are fresh races, bearings, and grease, and a full refund. More than fair and it's nice that management made it right. All is well that ends well. Thanks for all your thoughts and...

    Is this $207 hub/bearing service acceptable?

    What is the appropriate response at this point to Northwest Tire? Would it be fair to just ask them to buy a new axle/hubs and replace the whole thing or is that going too far? -Creek Chub

    Is this $207 hub/bearing service acceptable?

    Thanks for all of your opinions. I told em' I'd like a refund because I'm going to have to redo the work myself because I don't trust a shop who would charge 5-star prices and put out a job like this. The manager agreed but said he'd like to get proper-fitting dust caps, like those in place...

    Is this $207 hub/bearing service acceptable?

    I took it back and they are going to try and locate dust caps that actually fit. I do see fresh grease in there but cannot tell if it was just pumped in with the zerk fitting and then wiped or if the hub was actually disassembled. Nor can I tell if there are new bearings in there as billed...

    Is this $207 hub/bearing service acceptable?

    Being pressed for time I took my boat in for annual trailer bearing service at Northwest Tire. Single axle. The bill was $207; guess they replaced everything. Got home and noticed that one of the dust caps wasn't even on. The other one was loose so I pulled it off and examined the work and...

    Why are trailer bearings lousy?

    OK some have had better luck than others but almost all seem to agree that trailer bearings/hubs/axles are lousy compared to those used in automobiles. Would it really cost that much more to make the trailer assemblies just as good? Is there a technical reason they are made the way they are?

    Why are trailer bearings lousy?

    Hey everyone, Does anyone know why trailer bearings are so lousy? My SUV weighs close to 8000 lbs, or 2,000 lbs/tire, and the hubs are exposed to rain and snow and they last 250,000 miles or more. My trailer's bearings, even for the utility trailers that don't get submerged, need to be...
