Update on add on raingutters.
I have pricing on shipping the raingutter kits within the US.
Up to $40 for the short version and up to $55 for the longer wheel base models. (Winnebagos) I'll try to post again this evening with total pricing for each variety. My wife and I are off to Germany this Sunday, so I will be signing off the list in a day or two until I return in a few weeks. I will not be able to process any orders while I am gone. We will be shutting down the business until we return. Any orders that come in before Saturday will be shipped before we leave. Otherwise we can ship the week of 10/4.

Original engine was replaced under warranty by VW in '94. The only major item has been replacement of timing belt and rebuilt clutch. These Audi engines do last a while. My '86 Audi 4000 had over 320,000 km. At 08:19 AM 9/15/99 -0600, you wrote:

will run 300k easily. He said that it is easy to find used Audi 5 cylinder engines because they outlast the auto body. -----Original Message-----

Re: 93 EV5 Mileage - timing belt
When I are those timing belts breaking out there? We're close to the 50k mile
checkup. I found reference to changing the belt at 60k. don't really want to spend the money but think I should change it when its smart. How long did your timing belts go before breaking? Thanks, Sue |

Re: How long on furnace

Jesse,

Until the deep cycle battery goes dead or you run out of propane! I continue to be amazed at how long both last. I would expect you could run three or four days in pretty cool weather on the propane. Continuous running of the furnace blower will pretty much exhaust the battery in one night. John ruhockey19@... wrote:

Re: problem with automatic windows
Steve Kammerer
All of a sudden I'm having a problem with the passenger window of my 97
EVC. When I try to close the window it goes all the way up and then reverses and goes all the way down. The only way I can stop it from opening again is to try and catch the window just when it hits the top and pull the switch. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks, stevek 97 EVC |

High Mileage Potential
I read with great interest the mileage numbers from those who reported and am
very reassured about the long-term durability of the EV. I plan on using mine for both driving to work but also a business vehicle to drive to VW shows all Spring and Summer. The next part of this thread that I would very much like to hear is what service history these high-mileage owners have experienced and what their oil change interval has been. Could you take the time and look at your log book or pile of receipts and tell us what breaks on our EVs as we approach and pass 100,000 miles and what it cost to fix what broke? Inquiring minds want to know. Lynn Sheeley Knoxville, Tenn The List Hat Guy '93 EV and '60 356 B coupe (Porsche) |

Re: Traveling Europe in a eurovan
bulldogpress
Backin the early eighties I shipped a Westphalia from New York to le Havre
in France and from Antwerp (Belgium) to Montreal. I would suggest trying to find some army bases in Germany where they have people coming and going all the time. I'm sure they will havecampers for sale. Selling it again is another problem. Where are you going to sit and how are people going to call you? They don't have camping places in the numbers that we have. How are you going to co incide your return flight ticket with the sale of your rig? Now you know why we shipped ours back Roger |

AA Maglite suggestion
Larry Schellhase
I placed a holster for the AA maglite on the fire extinguisher
retaining strap. It took a little effort the fasten the clasp on the strap with the holster in place, but it is a very convienient location to have the AA Maglite. It is very accessable when you need to make a trip out at night, or if you want to check the temperature of the refrigerator without turning on an interior light (I am assuming we all have indoor/outdoor thermometers mounted on the door of our Norcolds) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Norcold fixed - I hope
Larry Schellhase
I took my 99 EVC to Lodgemobile in Burbank, CA today to have them fix
the Norcold which would not light on propane. The problem was a loose thermocouple which they tightened. That seems to have fixed my problem. Thanks for all of the suggestions and support I received from this list. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Bid and sell for free at |

Re: 93 EV MV Questions
My MV is a non-weekender version (I need the window covers). I also need info
on tires (my spare is bald and flat, although I have four almost new Continental tires). I had read about a European in this news group a while back but can't remember the name. Regards, John Martin Ameritech/IGS Inventory Reduction |
