I've been reading on some other forums about tire rubber protectants. Lots of observations and opinions but I have found very little solid information. Everything from using the highest rated human sun-block lotion to Protectant 303 to "don't wash your tires because the natural oils are then lost".
I now approach the collective wisdom of the Newell Gurus!!!! Is anybody aware of a product that has independent data to support claims of UV protection for tires?
Or,,,Does anybody have long term experience with a product that appears to be effective?

The much anticipated "Guru" T-Shirt and Hat order form is here.

Simply
Put aside $15 for every T-Shirt you want and $12 for each Hat in an interest bearing CD, as we may request "proof of funds" prior to the final sale and delivery of these very, very valuable items of future nostalgic value that may reach into the "antique value" range ....


WOW ! Is this incredible or what ???

These collectibles will be delivered at the Arkansas Gathering Only as delivery is a real pain in the butt and nobody here wants to do it !!

OK.. It breaks down like this

Hats = One size fits all.....
T-Shirts = Medium,Large,XLarge,XXLarge

This deal may not be available to any member of the "Gurus" not current on our "annual dues" or cannot name the "Guru" Capital of the Universe... HINT: It's located in a desert shanty town in Az.


So post your order requests and PM me so we have a record of how much to lien your home for, if you don't come up with the cash for the T's and Hat's on demand...

Lastly......Big Contest

Answer this riddle correctly and you may Win something.....

You take 3 Lefts and come upon 2 masked Strangers !!
Where are you ???????

Any questions , like an order deadline ??? Now or sooner please so we know how many to order ASAP...

Tom , PLEASE post the images for the T and Hat as I failed to load....

Also let us know how you feel about outside vendors coming like the detail, wash, buff, paint, chip GUY the Steve found with good references.... I hear you Richard on "aluminum prep"

Well we put about 5k miles on this used 8.3 it was using some oil and had some blowby so out it came.
Ordered a complete overhaul kit with pistons, liners, bearings etc. Sent the rad in for a recore, injector pump sent in for a possible rebuild and found a new turbo. The head is also in for a cleaning and inspection. Should be back together in a week or so. Total cost somewhere around 6k. No bad!! Cant wait!!

ATTENTION ALL GURUS

First Request for Feedback

If a Detailer and paint touch up company came to the Gathering , how many might use a service, from washing to paint chips ?????

Please Post Your $0.02

Anyone ever stay at this park?

With the rally just a couple of months away, I would suggest putting a rally banner on the web site like was done for Spearfish. Then any one coming to the web site are made aware of the upcoming rally and the dates.

Have my bus out of storage and everything looks ok, but cannot open refrigerator. Checked circuit breakers ok. Can't hear the switch when I move to open. Is this electrical or vacuum?

Elaine and I were heading back to Bluff, UT after a wonderful afternoon of site seeing when we decided, on a whim, to turn on to a road labeled "Gooseneck State Park". Had never heard of it, and had no idea what we were going to find at the end this short 4 mile detour. Well, we found Edwin and Lydia from Holland in their 2004 42' Newell, 2 slide, steering tag coach. He has been cruising our site for a while without registering, but I think I convinced him to join after talking with he and his wife for about an hour. They live in Holland, but fly to the USA every three months and travel in their Newell.....3 months in, and 3 months out. They leave the Newell at Newell in Miami when they are in Holland.

They are both the sweetest people, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with them. Once again I have to say you meet the nicest people in a Newell!

Their view of the canyon is spectacular. This place is free, but limited to 14 days. They prefer dry camping. Edwin had AM Solar install 1,000 watts of solar panels on his roof, and he as been able to isolate most of his systems they do not draw continuously....only when he wants them to.

He has an on going problem with his Atlas radiator springing leaks. Newell has been covering all the issue under warranty, but it is a perplexing problem as to why the core keeps springing leaks. Newell has replaced the radiator three, or four times, but still the problems continue to crop up. Hopefully he will join the site, and some of you can offer some solutions.
