Thanks, Tika and Jim.

Tika, yeah, it's mildly annoying but not much, I just top them off every morning when I'm out on the road.? I'm not really concerned about the slow leak, it takes a few days for it to lose half its pressure.? What I'm more concerned about is that one of them might blow when I'm 1000 miles away and out in the middle of nowhere, just because they are 32 years old and it's their time.

Is there a time beyond which these things should be replaced just because?

Yep. ?How annoying it gets to keep them filled will determine when you decide to replace them. ?But first check to see if it is the lines that are slowly leaking. ?Easier fix.?

What is the expected lifetime of the air bags on the rear of our toyhouses?

Mine is a 1991 Warrior V6.? I believe the air bags are original, at least they haven't been replaced since we bought it in 2001.? So far they seem to be holding up (although the passenger-side airbag does bleed off from 80 to around 30-40 PSI over 3-4 days' time).? We're planning a long trip (3500 miles round trip) and I'm thinking these airbags might be on borrowed time due to age.

What do you think?

Yes, the resistance between the center wire and the outside should be infinite -- and if it is, then take a bit of aluminum foil and stuff it in at one end of the cable so the inner and outer wires are connected together there, then go to the other end and check the resistance between inner and outer connections: should be very low if the cables are intact. If high, one of the wires, probably the inner one, is broken.

also while there, check for center conductor to outer braided shield wire.? should be infinite resistance

No, the access is behind the "wall' inside the cabinet at the end.? However first you need to be sure that the reason you don't have a better signal isn't because the wire from the antenna is disconnected.? It is simple in principle to test but awkward in practice.? You need to disconnect the coax cable that is attached to the antenna head on the roof.? Then you need to clip a separate wire on the end of the cable only touching the center wire.? It needs to be a long wire because then you need to test the other end with a multimeter set on Ohms; put the second probe of the meter touching only the center of the coax connection on the wall plate.? The meter sends an electrical signal through the wire and it comes back again through the wire in the wall.? If there is no discontinuity, the meter will show a low reading (almost zero resistance) because the electricity is flowing freely through the completed circuit.? That verifies that the wire from the antenna through the wall is not broken.??

If it is OK, then buy a better antenna amplifier for behind the wall plate.

You could also hire someone with fancier more expensive electrical test tools to more easily figure out if the wire is broken.

Humbug. Tried the little booster that goes between the tv and cable, and saw no difference in number of channels or picture quality. Guess I'll have to figure out how to wire in one of the old style booster wall plates.

Can I just pop off the speaker cover?

Thanks,
Sue

Huh.? Well, that ain't good!? :-O

I had forgotten that there is a label on the driver side door with air bag info.? Yup, 20 PSI minimum... clear as day.

Thanks for the heads up...

Your springs will be fine but it's very likely the rubber of the bag will shred. They give a minimum pressure for a reason.

Is it OK to drive a toyhouse (1991 Warrior) limited distances (like 10 miles on good roads) with rear air bags deflated?

Will that tend to overstress the rear leaf springs, or do any other unfriendly things?

Thanks...

Yes, the false bottom of the cabinet comes up, and you can tap into the wiring for the light; but there is no 12v to the speaker -- only the wires feeding the sound.?

Happy Fourth of July Y'All, hope you are all out camping!

There isn't any wire to the faceplate, just two cable connectors. I figure I can steal 12 V from the undercabinet light? Or the stereo speaker? There is a false bottom to the cabinet which I hope won't be too hard to remove. Does the cover over the cabinet speaker just pop off? I was hesitant to just yank on it until I was sure.

I did go ahead and order the booster that goes between the antennae cable and the tv, just to see if it would work!

Thanks Tika!

Thank you Tika!

Hi sorry for delay I’ve been out of the country the last month. The underneath is rusty as it is
40 years old. There were to small holes on driver and passenger side floor that I sealed.?

Hi I have a pop up SandTana for sale.
