Generator Muffler

[Tom Warner]

I am going to answer my own email.

What I should have asked first is Bill do you know how to use the internet?
If not then that would account for why you didnt find the information from
the URL that I posted. I forget sometimes that not everyone on the forum
has the same level of expertise either working on motorhomes or researching
information on the internet. I have been using the internet for over 30
years now(starting with the Arpa net when I was at a government lab). And
no I am not Al Gore and I didnt discover the internet.

This muffler issue is a perfect example of how people can easily overlook
information if they dont know how to access the information on a URL.

I have a tremendous amount of information on Bluebirds specifically my 1982
FC35 but also on other models and years. It took me a lot of time
researching on the internet to find it, download it, print it out and file
it in plastic protectors and then into loose leaf notebooks, 12 of them
now to be precise. I do the same things with information that people post
about specific fixes, parts etc and that information is filed in mailboxes
within Eudora by subject, for example Cat 3208, DD6V92, generator etc.

I also carry with me at all times either in my Jeep when I am not
travelling or in the motorhome when we are, a small spiral ring notebook
about 5" X 7" and about 1/2" thick with information on different parts of
my coach. When I work on something on the coach I write it down on a page
with all of the part numbers etc from the part or parts and then later get
the information for where to buy it and the new part numbers etc. It makes
it a lot easier when I need a new part because everything is at my fingertips.

Maybe we should take a couple of polls to see how many on the forum need
help in using the internet and researching items.

I am willing to help anyone like most other people on this forum. But if we
go to all of the trouble to try and help you the ball is in your court, and
if you are having a problem using the information then please tell us so we
can get it straightened out.
