Colorado B.S. Thread

Any areas of the state you would recommend checking out or avoiding?

I'm hoping to stay on dirt/small highways as much as possible

 

Plumbing people @teamhypoxia the sink drain is leaking at the bottom collar. Unscrewed it and looks like it has a plastic gasket? Can tell the connection isn't straight at all.

I am a highway cruiser RV park type of man now only exploring I do now is when I am unhooked. Haven't spent any time in Wyoming. We are planning on checking out Laramie and Cody on our way back to Montana.

 

I'll protect the trailer...


JK, I sleep

Going to want to get it straight if you can... the trap assembly you may be able to loosen and slide out to fix it. The plastic rings you can snag at any hardware store if that one is jacked up, but it probably will seal if you get the connection lined up.

Or just flex seal it

 

Forgot the picture.

 

RV plumbing is not always the same as house plumbing. Its usually chintzy as hell.
A pic might help. Edit, i see it now.
Or flex seal it and carry on.

 

Loosen the other end of the p trap, straighten it out and tighten it back up. Might be all it needs.

 

Is the sink tilted or the trap?

Is there an adjustable nut on the second connection down from that? If so, loosen it to straighten the trap out.

 

A

after looking at the picture again I might be able to loosen that other connection and rotate the pipe into better alignment.

 

Best place to find a map of free camping in Colorado? I've been looking on BLM.com. Found this but didn't know if there was a better site or map

Time to replace the CV's on my truck; both sides have multiple tears that I have put off far too long. What is the recommendation for replacement that you all have done or heard of? Any inputs regarding CVJ axles?
Also the truck hit 150k miles is there anything else I should replace while I got it all ripped open?
@thefatkid

 

CVJ is what most of us use. How are your wheel bearings?

 

Might do wheel bearings and seals at the same time due to the mileage, at a minimum strip the rotors off and check for noise while the CVs are out. I just did this to my 4runner when I was rebuilding the suspension and found 1 bearing bad even though I couldn't detect play or noise while I was driving.

I like OEM axles. If the boots have been blown open for a long time CVJ has been good as far as strength but their boots don't last like the OEM ones.

 

Good call. Figure I'll do a little pre-game this weekend to check that out to see if I need to go that route.

 

I have heard/read that about the OEM vs CVJ boots lasting as long. However the cost difference is nutty.

 

Oh, I just re-boot when the axles are not worn. New prices are dumb

 

This is the route I would go next time. If you can do it pretty much everybody should be able to do it

 

You know how much I love plumbing...
