Trac Bar

Sun, 26 May 2013 01:10:26 +0000

I am thinking of installing a track bar to solve a problem with play in the steering wheel, I FIGHT TO KEEP THE COACH IN A STAIGHT LINE.

I have the tire pressure correct, checked the front end alignment, added front and rear Roadmaster sway bars and also a Roadmaster steering stabilizer.

My next try is to install a trac bar, but would this problem be solved with a front trac bar or a rear trac bar ?

Thanks for any help on this.

Gerard Electric Awnings

Sun, 26 May 2013 00:55:25 +0000

Any idea on how to isolate the entire five 110v awnings with a switch to prevent interference from the generator or inverter. Sounds crazy I know but have you ever seen the awnings extend on their own when the inverter is on and sometimes the gen.

These awnings are supposed to be cut out thru the ignition switch but sometimes one or two will extend a foot or two on their own.

Chassis Batteries Won't Keep A Charge

Sun, 26 May 2013 00:54:22 +0000

Hi, we just had our chassis batteries on our 2013 American Revolution replaced because they weren't holding a charge 2 days ago.

We are on day 2 of our camping trip & they died again! We have read the manuals, reset the inverter & still nothing . Does anyone know what might be causing this?!

Thx!

Good Honest Dealer To Purchase A Used Diesel Pusher

Sat, 25 May 2013 21:12:53 +0000

I am looking to upgrade from a 2002 Journey to something bigger. I would like to be able to comfortably tow 10,000. 3 slides would be nice. I would like to buy from a dealer, as I would like to trade in my current coach.

I am finding a lot of coaches that I like and that fit the bill, (price and size) but I am having trouble narrowing it down and I really would like to find a dealer I could trust that has a lot of inventory. I have found some big dealers out there, (like Lazy Days) just not sure who to trust.

Looking for wisdom.

Thanks so much.

Fogged Double Pane Windows

Sat, 25 May 2013 17:32:57 +0000

We have this problem with our motorhome and I know it is pretty common. Just viewed a website advertised in FMC magazine for a "fix" (foggeddoublepanewindow.com). Has anyone bought this manual ($32) and performed the fix? Does it actually work? The ad makes it sound easy -- is it? How much additional you do have to invest in parts, etc. to implement the fix? Would appreciate some feedback. Thanks.

Fresh Water Holding Tank

2001 Monaco Dynasty - fresh water is going into holding tank and valve is closed.

Could the valve be defective?

Could there be too much pressure?

Is the valve hard to replace?

Crossfire Dual Pressure Balancing & TST 507 System

Sat, 25 May 2013 14:40:53 +0000

I have an Airstream 39' 396 XL Diesel pusher on a Freightliner chassis with 275/70R 22.5 tires and rims with rear duals. I have been looking at the Crossfire dual pressure balancing device and a TPMS such as the TST 507 system and would like to get some feed back from the forum.

Thanks

Aside from the dealer where they tend to be pretty expensive, where is a good place to get RV wiper blades?

Problem Understanding Michelin Advantage Program

Sat, 25 May 2013 00:17:41 +0000

I am a rather new member and was looking over the information on the Michelin Advantage Program.

I don't really understand how you know for sure what the tires through the program will cost out the door.

How can you compare dealer out the door prices against buying through the program and having a dealer mount, balance and install. It just seems to be way more than this old man's brain can figure out. Is there a simple answer ?

Also if I purchase through a dealer I can say I will not accept any tires over 3 maybe 4 months old. With the program I see no way to do this, looks like what you get is yours.
