the deal includes the toronto sun , as well as sun dailies in ottawa , winnipeg , calgary and edmonton , the free 24 hours daily newspapers in toronto and vancouver , and the london free press .
on 14 february 1978 , the company entered into a partnership agreement with edmonton sun publishing ltd to publish its second tabloid , the edmonton sun , its first edition appearing on 2 april 1978 . in 1981 the edmonton sun became a wholly owned operation with the acquisition of all outstanding shares of edmonton sun publishing ltd . the calgary albertan , acquired on 31 july 1980 for $ 1 . 3 million , was subsequently transformed into the company ' s third daily tabloid , the calgary sun - first edition 3 august 1980 .
in july 2013 , sun media corp . announced it was slashing 360 jobs and shutting down 11 publications across the country . at the time , it said it needed to invest more heavily in digital news to lure in younger readers .
the purchase consolidates the media group ' s position in the baltimore metropolitan area . in addition to the sun , which is the largest paper in maryland , the company owns a range of community newspapers in other counties in the vicinity .
the acquisition signals an unprecedented concentration of the country ' s newspapers and digital news sites . postmedia takes ownership of both major dailies in three big cities : the sun and herald in calgary , the sun and journal in edmonton and the sun and citizen in ottawa . it previously owned both the vancouver sun and the province in vancouver , which it used as an example to make its case to the competition bureau .

the sale dramatically expands brower’s holdings , bringing many of maine’s newspapers , including most of its dailies , under his ownership . brower’s move to expand his media footprint and keep the sun journal under local control contrasts with what is occurring in most media markets , where newspapers are increasingly owned by national chains that consolidate operations and cut costs in a bid to seek profitability .
“we are excited to be the custodians of many of canada’s best known and trusted media brands , now and in the future . ”
but he pointed to his purchase of mainetoday media in 2015 , when the company retained 98 percent of its employees during the sale .
more than 2 , 500 sun media employees now work under new ownership , though some jobs are in jeopardy . postmedia president and ceo paul godfrey expects the deal to yield efficiencies through combined finance , human resources , it and production departments .
costello and brower said sun media was not shopping around for a buyer but saw the opportunity after years of working together on projects , including a printing contract with the bangor daily news , which shut down its hampden printing plant in 2013 .

“i don’t believe in cut and slash , ” brower said . “i think that’s one of the reasons why the costellos were looking at an organization like ours to lead ( sun media group ) forward . … we’re not going to do anything to disrupt the autonomy . ”
the eisendrath group’s deal preserves two independent newspaper voices in chicago , one of the last two - newspaper towns in america . tronc had vowed to operate the tribune and sun - times as independent titles , though media observers had expressed skepticism over how long that might last .

before the sale , some in chicago feared that tronc’s ownership would shift the sun - times , which has traditionally been a progressive counterpoint to the more conservative tribune , to the right . others thought tronc would simply close the sun - times .
peter alter , a historian for the chicago history museum , said chicagoans had a deep affinity for the sun - times .
the calgary sun is tabloid - format daily that was first published in 1980 . it replaced the long - running tabloid - size newspaper , the albertan soon after it was acquired by the publishers of the toronto sun . the newspaper , like most of those in the canadian sun chain , is known for short , snappy news stories aimed primarily at working class readers .

the chicago news guild , which represents unionized newsroom employees at the sun - times and reader , had been vehemently opposed to tronc buying the sun - times and reader . the guild is not one of the unions involved in the planned purchase .

not that we ' re bragging or anything , but sun peaks is proud to be recognized for providing an outstanding four season experience .
traditionally , the federal government has frowned on a single entity controlling multiple media operations in the same market . so the sale process required wrapports to sell to a bidder other than tronc if that bidder could prove it had the money to operate the sun - times , hence the $ 1 purchase price .
the deal also includes 160 small - town newspapers across the country , as well as sun media ' s digital properties , including urltoken — although , notably , quebecor will continue to operate urltoken in quebec , which according to a postmedia investor presentation makes up about half of that website ' s monthly traffic .
less than 200 of the university’s 19 , 500 student population attended the meeting where the motion was passed to ban the newspapers “in their current form” . the motion added that the ban could be extended to other media organisations with the sun , daily mail and express titles “merely used as high - profile examples” .

the beaver ( genus castor ) is a primarily nocturnal , large , semiaquatic rodent . castor includes two extant species , the north american beaver ( castor canadensis ) ( native to north america ) and eurasian beaver ( castor fiber ) ( eurasia ) . beavers are known for building dams , canals , and lodges ( homes ) . they are the second - largest rodent in the world ( after the capybara ) . their colonies create one or more dams to provide still , deep water to protect against predators , and to float food and building material . the north american beaver population was once more than 60 million , but as of 1988 was 6–12 million . this population decline is the result of extensive hunting for fur , for glands used as medicine and perfume , and because the beavers ' harvesting of trees and flooding of waterways may interfere with other land uses .

i just replaced the muffler on my beaver patriot just before i sold it a couple of months ago . i had it done at a heavy duty truck repair shop . the muffler in your unit is likely the same style i had with the 3126 cat . the exhaust comes out of the turbo and drops into the top of the muffler and out the back to the tailpipe . under their recommendation , i replaced the muffler to a standard style with front and back inlets . this required an elbow off the turbo into the side of the new muffler rather than top mount . it also required moving the muffler back about a foot to allow for the side inlet connection . there was room to move the muffler back and i replaced the tail pipe at the same time . the difference in price from top inlet style to side inlet style muffler was $ 300 .

this site originated with information on projects we did on our own coach , a growing proportion is information other owners had and were gracious enough to provide the information for posting here .
disclaimer : you and only you are responsible for any work , maintenance , repair or modification you chose to make to your rv . you are solely responsible for following safe work procedures as well as the results of any work you perform , whether you relied on any information found here or not . the information provided here is just a description of what we did , what worked for us or perhaps what didn ' t work for us .
creating an index to the information on this site got to the stage where navigating the index was a challenge in itself . the basic index kept getting longer and more complex resulting in some folks not finding what was in plain sight - including me ! so , i ' m redoing the index in a matrix format . the left column describes the subject matter while the top row describes the type of material available . a link in the corresponding cell will take you to a point in the traditional index where you ' ll find a list of the pertinent information we have available . a blank cell indicates that we don ' t have any information of that type on that subject . there may be multiple references to the same document because some documents cover a variety of topics . in those cases , i have indexed the document in as many places as it may be appropriate .
in july 2006 during a pre - trip visual inspection i discovered 4 of the bolts that hold the exhaust manifold to the cylinder head . two each for cylinders 5 & 6 . things got worse when i began disassembling the engine . three of the four turbo mounting bolts broke taking the turbo off the exhaust manifold . before the manifold was off the engine , 11 out of 12 exhaust manifold bolts were broken .
why ? well , it appears that there was a gradual shifting of the exhaust manifold as it went through many heating and cooling cycles while being pushed by a constant tension from the exhaust pipe . after 11 years , the exhaust manifold did not line up correctly with the bolt holes and ports in the cylinder head and the attaching bolts were forced to lean towards the front of the engine ( note , the front of the engine in a diesel pusher is at the rear of the coach ) . this leaning caused a bending tension on the bolt where it exited the cylinder head and the bolts began breaking . click on this thumbnail and you ' ll see the bolt leaning .

recently we had a customer come to us with an rv damage claim resulting from hitting a large overhanging tree limb in their rv park . this is an easy thing to do when you are unfamiliar with the new surroundings and pulling into an rv park after dark .
the tree limb impact did significant damage to the roof , the sides and some of the equipment on the roof . the repair was covered under the owner’s rv insurance policy , but the situation was unique : the manufacturer has been out of business since 2009 . in the rv world , this particular rv is called an “orphan . ” an rv is referred to as an “orphan” if the company that manufactured it is no longer in business .
this particular rv was a 15 - year - old , 2000 safari zanzibar motor coach . while this particular rv was an older model , it was still in excellent condition , and the damage was repairable and within reason to not be a totaled unit .
but the situation does raise some problems that other rv’ers might be concerned with if you have an rv from a manufacturer that is no longer in business . can they still be fixed ?
since over 80 % of the companies that once manufactured rvs are now out of business , orphans are a common sight at our rv repair shop . buying an orphan manufactured by a company that has just gone out of business can cause problems getting warranty work performed on the construction of the rv such as the roof or sidewalls .
for the most part , the rv owners who come to us are concerned that we will not be able to find the parts , or to match the paint on the rv . however when you think about it , auto body shops are still able to find parts for and repair cars that have long since gone out of business . consider the oldsmobile , pontiac or saturn .
as with all rv’s , most of the parts such as electronics , plumbing equipment , and interior parts and appliances are shared across all brands , and owning an orphan not too much of a problem for simple or common rv repairs . most rv’s are built on truck chassis made by international , or ford or common truck manufacturers , so finding engine and chassis parts are easy to come by .
if this customer were to take their rv to their local rv dealer , they would be hard pressed to find someone willing to fix this unit . this customer was mostly concerned with our ability to match the existing paint on his rv . we get that concern a lot . this owner went so far as to research the paint codes and find us a paint company in bend oregon that supplied the original paint to safari .
rest assured orphan rv owners , this is not a necessary step to repairing your rv . our shop custom mixes and matches every paint on every rv that we repair . even if we had the exact paint code from the exact paint manufacturer , the paint on an rv ages and fades with time just like it does on a car , and we custom tint each color for an exact match to the existing paint . we even have computerized mixing equipment that can scan a paint sample and match the paint exactly . but it takes a skilled painter to get really the paint on the rv to match exactly .
if your orphan rv requires a specialized part that is unique to the original manufacturer , there are companies that we deal with who can find obsolete parts or even have them made for us .
so between paint matching , exterior wall or fiberglass panel repairs , obsolete parts sourcing , and multi - manufacturer rv repair parts , your rv can be fixed , and the insurance company will cover the repairs . we were able to return this customer’s rv back to the pre - loss condition in no time .

it is obvious i forget things . i saw this thread and read the first page . connie posted and i realized that not only is it up to three pages , but i posted the same update for the video link last december ! didn ' t intentionally mean to be redundant .
i have found this info very interesting . izzy and me are restoring a 1991 contessa 38 ' with a 3208 . we are now just about finished the inside and will start on the outside next year . we have all the service manuals as well as the factory brouchers . if any of this is of interest to anyone let me know . we where lucky to find this coach 3 years ago with 71 , 000 miles on it , it now has 95 , 000 . there was very little changes to the inside , the tv was moved back to the bar and a electric fireplace put where the tv was . i will be following all history related articles as i have become posesed with restoring this to as original as possible . thanks to all of you for your input on the history .
