Ready For Winter. Antifreeze, Is A Great Idea. Joe Do You Have Covers Over Your 14 in x14 in Vent Covers?
They Have Them At Walmart, About $25.00 Each.
If You Do Not, Would Be A Good Idea, To Put A Small Blue Tarp On Top Of Kitchen & Bath Vents & set A Few 4inx4in Boards On Tarp, Keep It Down On Wind. It?s Also A Good Idea To Check Inside After A Few
Bad Rain/Snow Storms, For Any Leaking.
Also Put Inside A Large Drum Of Damp It
To Maintain Moisture Level, And Control Any Mildew..
One Other Thing, Have You Got Your CB Yet? I Will Be Soon Listing Some Dodge Van Nos Parts In Another Post, Since I No Longer Have My Clipper  ?Wilson?.

Hi Clipper Joe, nice to hear from you again! Thanks for all the help you have given me with our Clipper. Currently our Clipper is in dry dock for the winter at the side of our house. I have the fresh water drained, water tanks empty and the traps and toilet filled with RV antifreeze till spring. Happy to report she ran great this season after replacing the thermostat, clutch fan and installing a new power steering pump. She ran cool and smooth. We weren't able to get out much last summer as we couldn't camp in our usual spots because they were always full of people escaping Covid from the valley. I had never seen so many people in my life in our local mountains. Nice to see people getting out, but bad for boon docking, way too crowded for us. I did buy a CB radio to install but will have to think about which type of antennae will work best. Magnetic wont work as I need a good metal ground plane. I'm thinking dual antennas mounted on the mirrors. I'm also planning to install new brakes all around and replace the rubber brake hoses. While I'm at it, Ill also repack the wheel bearings.

Hope everyone is well!

Hi enzoariana,

Congratulations on your new Clipper.  The gauges not working on your Clipper is pretty common on the old Dodges. There is a voltage regulator on the back of the instrument cluster that goes out and will cause the gauges to fail. Is your oil pressure gauge also out? Usually the only gauge that works is the amp gauge as it has a separate connection. I believe that you can still find the voltage regulator on Amazon.  It's also possible the instrument cluster is bad (which is the case on my Clipper). Replacement clusters are difficult to find as they are not produced any more and any you find will be just as old as the original. Along with a bad instrument cluster on my Clipper, I also have a bad sending unit on the float in the gas tank. I decided to install separate gauges instead of finding a working original cluster. So far I have installed a new temperature gauge as I felt this was a top priority as the 440 engine likes to run hot (which mine was) and monitoring the temperature is a must. I've yet to install the new gas gauge and gas sending unit. I did bypass the amp gauge as it started failing and melting the wires from overheating. I ended up installing a USB charger with LED volt readout plugged into the cigarette lighter to monitor the charging system. When I did this, I noticed my system was overcharging and I needed a new voltage regulator (very easy to replace). As for your ignition switch wires getting hot, it could be several things. One possibility is that your ignition switch might be bad. Your ignition switch is probably in the steering column which is more difficult to replace than previous Clipper years. A good mechanic could probably trace the problem instead of throwing away money trying to guess the problem.  I found a good mechanic in town that works on classic cars when I thought I was having carburetor issues. I had to wait over a month for him to look at it and fix the problem. Almost all the problems I've had, I've been able to fix myself and I've been very thankful for the help I've received from the members on this site. It sometimes takes awhile to hear back, but have patience as the activity on the boards is not as active as it used to be as there are not as many Clipper owners as there once was.

Hello

Yes, it's still available.  If you would like to come see it, let me know when would be best for you.  I haven't started it in a while, so I'll have to make sure the gas is still good, etc.  You can contact me via email at raj@peacock.place.

Morse Johnson is this still available

 I'm looking for a wiring diagram for the tanks, panel, and water pump.
I picked up a 1980 bunk house, and the wires are not connected to any thing but the water pump and I had to repair it.
