Between covid-19 and riotfest-20 people are getting a little twitchy. Civil Defense sirens wound up for their monthly test and people legit started running for their homes.

Need a tail pipe for the motorhome. Called the local Frieghtliner service center. They said that they don't make it.

But that Fleetwood makes it. Called Fleetwood. They said that Freightliner made the chassis, and that they supplied the tailpipe.

They gave me the number for Freightliner RV Div. Called that number. Talked to someone else. They said that Fleetwood makes the tail pipe. And to call them back.

Called a couple of shops around here. No one bends that diameter of pipe. So I'm going to order a straight piece and 2-45deg elbows and make it myself.

Wrenches are a ways off for me. Too many different sets that I'll buy all at once lol

Thats exactly why I bought this set. Might get up the gumption to swap to CJM motor mounts.

I try to pick up a set here or there or when a job necessitates it. Helps lessen the sting.

My problem is I don't find that out until I'm in the middle of the job. And I don't like that. If I know ahead of time what I'll need - I make the decision to buy one-time use HF tool or a proper set for future use as well. The one-time use tools are fewer and farther between now.

A complete set of metric wrenches 10mm-19mm will cover most of the things you'll encounter on our cars. The smaller metrics (9mm & below) not as often.

Best advice: Buy a BIG tool box. If you look at one and say "That's big enough", go the next size or two larger. I started with a 5 drawer Craftsman box and now have a 6' long, triple bank Snap-on box... and now I need more space....
