  1. Clark, Your inverter Might need some repair work. The units do affect a number of the newer appliances and highly resistivity types of equipment. Had to replace our 2500 series Modified sine wave unit 4 years ago because it was the pest option for us rather then having it repaired. When with the pure sine wave model. They work much better, The biggest job was rewiring the coach electrical system; because the new units do not come with the 2 internal circuit beakers used to power the microwave and the entertainment circuits on our coach. Rich.
  2. Witt, I have a feeling you are referring to the check engine light. The first item I would check is the coolant sensor connection and make sure there is enough coolant in the New over flow / expansion tank. Rich.
  3. Jeff, Welcome to the FMCA Forum ! My over flow or vent line is connected at the fresh water fill area behind the door. The fact that you got as much water into the tank ,the air was venting out somewhere. Rich.
  4. THawkins, Welcome to the FMCA Forum ! Could you post a picture of the stationary and the moving portion of the windows for the group? It is hard to see what or how they tried to seal the gap between them from the attached picture. Rich
  5. bandjw01 would the fuel pump be intermittent? I think it is unlikely a fuel pressure issue. There is a recall from GM that the Distributor fails on the 8.1 L engine. The problem happens when the engine gets hot. There is a recall on the early 8100 series engines. This issue was covered on my engine. The other issue is with a defective cam sensor ! That was not covered at the time mine failed. http://www.justanswer.com/uploads/Bluegorilla/2009-01-26_044700_8100_crankshaft_sensor_recall.pdf https://www.ecityworks.com/chevy-workhorse-81-liter-problems You will need to see if GM and see if the Warranty was performed.by a Chevrolet or GM service center. The recall does cover the One Ton trucks, The RV chassis should fall into the Workhouse Chassis built with the 8100 Series Engines. Good Luck! Rich. My 8100 engine has been working great sense the Cam and Crank shaft sensors where replaced. Just found this information. At this wed sight https://www.ecityworks.com/chevy-workhorse-81-liter-problems It appears there other issues listed also. The Chevy 8.1-L V8 engine has a problem with carbon building up in the throttle body. This carbon problem makes the throttle body valve stick in place. This allows too much air into the engine cylinders, causing the engine to misfire. Once more air is permitted into the engine, more fuel is allowed to enter the cylinder heads.
  6. Welcome to the FMCA Forum! Where are you driving from to get to Orlando ? or are you asking foe campgrounds in the Orlando area? Need a little more information ! Rich
  7. Bob, you might look at this link. https://landline.media/daimler-trucks-recalling-nearly-18000-trucks-for-steering-issue/ What was changed in your case? Rich.
  8. Not a good idea to keep adding Coolant to the system without using a AC charging manifold. To easy to overcharge the system and cause some expensive repair bills! You need to know if the low side of the system is creating a vacuum. Then one needs to know what the high pressure side is doing pressure wise ! Think it might be best to have an AC tech do the job, It is a lot different then adding a few ounces to a small Automotive system. Rich.
  9. CMColeman. There is a possibility of a defective LP pressure regulator or an issue with the flow sensor. The other is a build up of minerals in the water heater caused by hard water. From what I have found from other sources . You may need to consider a adding water softener to the water input system. Good luck ! Rich.

    Engine cooling

    Looks like the coach has close to 100 K on the Engine. I kind of wounder if the cooling system has been checker, including the water pump, Engine Thermostat and when the system was flushed last ? I see that it has a 8.1 L engine. Are there any codes stored in the ECM? Rich.
  11. CMColman, Welcome to the FMCA Forum ! Could you include the make and mode of the water heater ! Is the problem when the unit is working on AC or propane? Rich.

Rich.
  14. Andy, Welcome to the FMCA Forum! Did you install Diodes in the wiring ? It is required if there are other incandescent Lights in the same 12 volt circuit used to power The bathroom circuit! You may need some personal help to install what is called steering diodes in the fixture in the bathroom. Rich.
  15. Georgec,Welcome to the FMCA Forum ! Think it is time to run a compression test on all of the cylinders! This test requires removing the fuel injectors and they can be checked as Huff mentioned and Compression test will cover Joe's thought of a defective Ring in one or more of the cylinders. Rich.
  16. Joe, Sounds like a interesting get together. Hope the weather cooperates. Rich.
  17. All well that ends well, And yes welcome to the FMCA Forum ! Thanks for the information. If you need some chassis information in the future, just add the model number of the chassis. Rich.
  18. What is the model of the Workhorse Chassis? Rich.
  19. I think this request should be in Systems and Appliances Thread Rich. Follow 14
  20. Supersquid, You could help the members by posting Year of the Coach. This is the best way to get the. best information. How long has the unit been in storage and was the unit winterized, before being placed in storage ? Also ! Was the oil changed before being placed in storage. Once we know this then the members can offer a set of possible starting points. Has the Coach been connected to shore power all the time it has been in storage ? Rich.
  21. Welcome to the FMCA Forum ! Could you post the Model coach you have? and the model and make of the Command Center. Need to know is your Coach is a Gas or Diesel powered unit. I have a feeling you missed a cable some where. There are more then one cable on more then one Connection and it is easy for one to drop out of sight when removing the cable from there connections. You mentioned pictures in your original post, could you attach them to your next post? Rich
  22. Welcome to the FMCA Forum ! Do you have 12 volts at any of the 12 volt sockets? when just the marker lights are turned on. Measure both wires between any or all the marker lights to a good ground. The second or first thing to check i you do not read any voltage between the marker light terminals at the main light switch and ground. You my also have a failed relay in the marker light lights. Is the coach wired with a ICC switch no the or near the drivers seat ? Rich.
  23. This link Might be of some help. https://rvexteriorbodypanels.visonerv.com/cgi-bin/md/M240586/s1.pl? Rich.
  24. Your make and model year of the coach might have an extra Relay and fuse box in the rear marker lights circuit, I'm woundering if the front marker lights are working? Rich.
  25. Tony. The item that you think needs to be replaced might be a Zener diode. Is there a voltage present at on end of the device in question or both ends of the device? What is the reading, voltage wise? Can you include a picture of the board that might have a Board part number on it. Whose Monitoring system is in your coach ? Rich.
