Around here it's more expensive than that. $10, IIRC.

Last time I used a truck stop shower was over thirty years ago (am I THAT 
old?), while I was remodeling a bath room in a one bathroom home. I guess 
prices have went up since then.

Massive holding tanks mounted under the semi trailer?

Plenty of room for huge fresh water tank, gray water tank, and black
tank...
Just keep a long list of available RV dump stations so you can evacuate the
black tank and flush it clean.  Should be able to "dry camp" for a month
between dumps... if you plan for it.

Re: [MBZ] touchups

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

It is, however, it's a common thing used by nearly everyone in the detailing 
community.  A lot less aggressive than solvents, too.

You want a 50-50 mix of water to alcohol if possible, so you'll have to do some 
math if you're using typical 70% alcohol you find at the pharmacy.  I usually 
go for the highest concentration I can get, typically in the 90% range, which 
makes it a little easier to do the math.

Composting toilet, a 5gal bucket with wood shavings like you'd use for a 
hamster. Make your deposit, cover with wood shavings. When the bucket is full 
put it in a pile to compost. This is also known as the humanure method.
We tried it once at camp, it works fine, no smell. Outhouse is handier if you 
have the space.

Re: [MBZ] NOT Bonanza

[Rich Thomas via Mercedes]

All this back and forth about entertainment reminded me of a podcast 
series some of y'all might like, esp those who are knowledgeable about 
the Northeast.  It's called "Crime Town" and is about Providence RI and 
Buddy Cianci who was the mayor for years then went to prison.  He was a 
character, and the story is amazingly entertaining.  He managed to turn 
Providence around into a nice town though, so there's that.

Re: [MBZ] Carfax needed

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

It shouldn't show up in the salvage databases, it has a clean title.
But carfax picks up on stuff like that, and Farmer's Insurance is the seller. 
Without a clean carfax, I don't want to pay more than $6k for it, which lets me 
bid $5300, and it's already at $5200 and the auction hasn't started yet. 
Next time I'm bringing a jump pack, the battery on the Focus is dead. 
Without knowing if it's still under warranty, it's a risk, albeit a low risk, 
to buy a car you can't hear run. Being a 2014 it's probably over 36 months old 
so you'd be into powertrain warranty instead of full warranty.

Re: [MBZ] OT Tractor/trailer trailer size

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

53' moving van with underboxes is the way to  go.  Add ramps to the 
back, partion off the lower rear, and you haul your MB there, or you can 
buy a mini and store it crossways in the lower part of the belly of the 
trailer.  THink of it as a split level trailer house, with garage.


When I Started college, my idea was: On graduation, get a job at 
Edwards, live in a moving van in the desert to save , until I had 
saved enough money to hit critical mass.  Then have fun.   At that time, 
40' was the biggest trailer available.



Rich Thomas via Mercedes 
August 9, 2017 at 11:58 AM
I have been sorta intrigued by these tiny houses that are becoming 
popular.  Most of them seem to be built on like a 16ft utility trailer 
so they can be moved around to a semi-permanent location.  While some 
of them are pretty nice, it kinda makes me wonder why not just buy a 
travel trailer or something for cheap and live in that.  But whatever, 
I kinda like them as they look more like a real house.


I got to thinking about the size issue and it seemed that building one 
on a larger trailer, like a 3-car hauler or something, would work 
better.  I see these things that will haul 19k lb, they sit kinda low, 
3 axles, gooseneck, so that seems like a better kind of deal, instead 
of a 8X16ft house you could have say a 8X32ft house on a trailer, 
pretty much like a narrower single-wide.


This morning I saw this big bus motor home RV thing, it was HUGE!  I'm 
guessing 12ft tall anyway, probably has 8ft headroom inside and 
storage bins underneath, big pusher dizzel engine.  But those are 
quite spendy, even used ones are like $100k or more. I'm guessing 
those things are like 40ft long, so a lot of room.  I rode in one once 
that bands used for touring, it was really nice, granite kitchen and 
marble bathroom etc.


So then I was driving home and was sitting next to a semi with a 
trailer that said "53ft" on the side, that is pretty big.  I'm 
guessing the trailer is 8ft wide, and maybe 8ft headroom inside, which 
is kinda like a shipping container, and people use containers to build 
houses now.  Containers I think are up to 40ft for a double?  So 
either a trailer or a container would make a nice "tiny" house too.  
So then I was thinking one of those low-floor moving van trailers 
would be even better, more headroom, loft space.  Either buy an old 
trailer and fix it up, or buy a low-frame (or an equipment hauler low 
trailer) with the axles and tars and breaks and what not already in 
place, then build a "tiny" house on that -- more size, more headroom, 
etc.  And even if you had to buy an old tractor to pull it around, or 
hire that job out, you could have a larger, nicer "tiny" house than a 
single-wide. And some of those equipment trailers have wings that fold 
out to give maybe 12ft wide for a wide load, so that would allow a 
larger "tiny" house, I guess moving it would require some permit or 
something but still...


So that got me thinking about how tall a trailer can be, I'm thinking 
maybe 12ft max to clear bridges and stuff on the road, or can they go 
a bit higher?  I see those big trailers driving with a pace car with a 
pole to hit something before the truck would, and warn it off the 
bridge or whatever.  I guess if you weren't hauling a taller "tiny" 
house too far you could get by with something taller?


My lunch-time musings, but ideas accepted.  I'm wondering if there 
would be a market for larger "tiny" houses built to a spec that was 
much better than your average single-wide.  Make a good lake house, or 
cabin in the woods, or even a starter home that would be less than 
buying from a developer or used, esp if someone had a lot?  They could 
even be designed to gang up to get a bigger house, like a double-wide 
or even with wings that went off the sides.

Re: [MBZ] 95 E300D W124 Water in Footwell

Rusted out under the battery box.


Dan Penoff via Mercedes 
August 5, 2017 at 4:38 AM
Eldest son tells me that his driver’s footwell is still filling up 
with water after torrential rains. We recently replaced the driver’s 
door seal which was worn and a replacement included with the car when 
I bought it.


I wanted to run by possible sources to check to make sure I’m not 
missing anything:


Sunroof drain
Condensate line from AC

Can I be getting water in from the cowl or windshield? Anyplace else I 
need to look for possible intrusion points? Even if the sunroof seals 
well, can water still get in?


Thanks,

With some trial and error, I figured out how to calculate it (I'll leave
the details of the derivation out):

Volume of water
- =  2*p - 1
Volume of alcohol mixture

where p = fraction of alcohol in alcohol
  mixture (for 70%, p = 0.7)

So, for 70% alcohol mixture,

Volume of water
- =  2*0.7 - 1 = 0.4
Volume of alcohol mixture

Thus, Volume of water = 0.4 Volume of alcohol mixture

For 91% alcohol mixture,

Volume of water
- =  2*0.91 - 1 = 0.82
Volume of alcohol mixture

Thus, Volume of water = 0.82 Volume of alcohol mixture


Checking: For 100 ml (could also be ounces) 70% alcohol mixture
  and 40 ml added water,

Alcohol = 70 ml
Water   = 30 ml (from mixture) + 40 ml (added to mixture)
= 70 ml

Checking: For 100 ml (could also be ounces) 91% alcohol mixture
  and 82 ml added water,

Alcohol = 91 ml

That's enough space.  How does plumbing happen?

Its part of a series. In the latest one they pull a Mach 1 Mustang out of a 
junkyard and get it running. The amount of poo that has to be removed is 
staggering.

That would be interesting to do a survey of what mechanics actually drive. 

When I worked at the Oldsmobile/Honda Dealership almost all of the Honda 
Mechanics drove Hondas.  The Oldsmobile/GM mechanics were pretty well divided 
between young and old.  The older mechanics all drove Oldsmobiles.  Most of the 
younger ones drove trucks -- GM trucks. There was one exception.  He was the 
best of the heavy duty mechanics (he did transmission rebuilds, and major 
engine work).  He drove a Chrysler Town and Country Minivan.  The dealership 
had been a GMC dealer previously, so maybe that explains all the GMC trucks. 
OR, it could be because the dealership was in the Midwest and most of the guys 
were outdoorsy hunters.   One of the older mechanics was an odd fellow.  He had 
3 1980's Oldsmobiles with the 5.7L Diesel.   He loved them.   The parts manager 
drove a Ford Truck. 

There were three service managers and two drove GMC trucks and one drove an 
Oldsmobile (me).  The service director (in charge of both shops) drove a GMC 
truck with an Oldsmobile engine in it.   The dealer drove whatever the heck he 
wanted but usually it was an older Cadillac or Jaquar.  He had 35-40 collector 
cars he kept stored at the dealership that he drove on the weekends.
