BTW, does anyone know if there are coarse pitch lock nuts, like you would use on the starter wire stud or a lot of the other engine bolts? I know I can use star washers, but would like to know if a lock nut is available, preferably all metal.

Good for you!!!

BTW, even Lowes/Home Depot/hardware stores, have the coarse pitch lockwashers that can be used.

Mickey, Nord-Lock washers are available, for instance here https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catal...lickkey=106103

Star washers are ok, but only for a once use...

Now back to that book

Easy buying process- I did the credit card version- click on the "BUY NOW" button BUT on the 3rd screen, below Paypal, look for pay via credit card- don't enter email or phone on the Paypal login unless you want to Login.

This way gives you a Paypal GUEST credit card checkout. 1, 2, 3.

By shutting off "one Touch" auto login, I got to the screens that allowed purchase by credit card.

As a reminder, here is the link for the PRINTED book. Lulu has a discount code through the 28th. It is SELFPUBLISH15

https://www.lulu.com/en/en/shop/vic-...ct-5j8w45.html


Be aware that shipping from Lulu is taking quite a while. I ordered one copy with expedited shipping of the prebuy book on Aug 10 and it is to be delivered today Aug 24. We ordered 10 copies with book rate shipping and those still show in production.

Vic - great book. I love all the pictures and insights. Why didn't you publish this 15 years ago when I built my RV???

Definitely worth the price!

Ordered hardback from Lulu. Save aprox $10 with SELFPUBLISH15 code. It is case sensitive.

Thanks Vic!

I want to remind everyone considering a purchase if you need a printed copy go to LULU. The pdf's from ejunkie are not printable. I know someone mentioned Adobe DC PRO, but I have adobe DC Pro (which is a paid subscription) and editing and printing are locked down on this file. It is to prevent theft.

I just had a customer purchase from ejunkie with the intention of printing it out.
It did not work.

Guess I am still a little confused. Does the more expensive book "Prebuy" include the book for "inspections?" At the time of placing my order (Aug 14th) I thought the "Prebuy" book was the only one available.

If not, is the "inspections" the better of the two for those that have a flying RV?

Thanks

Sorry to prove you wrong, but I'm attaching a clip of Adobe Reader DC (not Pro) showing the print dialog not disabled. Also a photo of the browser plug-in printing the first three pages, with the pages laid out on the keyboard after printing. I did nothing special to enable printing. I simply downloaded the PDF and, when someone asked about annotations and bookmarks, I checked to be sure they still worked and noticed that printing was enabled in passing. If your publisher has promised you that the files are locked, then something is not working. In my case, I have no need for a printed copy (I only printed the three pages as proof of my findings) and I won't supply a printed copy to anyone else - laser printer ink and shipping are too expensive and besides, I believe Vic deserves his royalties.

Interesting... printing is locked out for me in Acrobat Reader DC and in Microsoft Edge, but not in Firefox. Just printed the first page to test. Not that I'd ever need to print either, but was a fun experiment.
