Just ran into an interesting issue - Television stations have there own frequency. When we tune to different stations there tends to be an interaction between different lights and television channels. Found this by just turning off one while a tempting to watch different stations and turning LED on and off while still watching one channel and expanding out to other channels. Need to see if they need suppliers to build in frequency filters or place them in the existing fixtures. A lot of spectrum research. Anyone else notice this issue - or have noticed issues when different lights are on? Rich.

Rgriff, Welcome to the FMCA Forum? This link will get all the info. on model you have. Does the slide issue change when you run the generator> The Wiring for the slide control sw at the dash is pictured, but theslide motor control module and wiring looks to be missing. What is the condition and age of the batteries? WKP36LD Rich.

What model and year coach do you have? 40 foot what, model year and model? Rich.

TLizzie, With the year coach you have do you have a mechanical shift - instead of a touch shift? Rich. Some Starter Wiring Info. from a 2001 Coach. Hope it helps pin down your starting problem ! 2001 Holiday Rambler Rear Run.pdf 2001 Holiday Rambler VIM Trans.pdf Rear Run Box Wiring.pdf Starter Wiring.pdf Note added 3/26/18. The starter relay power is supplied from a relay powered by the the VIM - this relay coil power is supplied from ECM when the ignition key is turned on. So if there is no power out on pin 7 - the fault could be in the ECM Module or there is no power due to the leveling system safety lockout circuit.

The 2800 Should work fine. Check out this link to look for remote control compatability between inverters and the software. You might need to speak to a tech to clear up any software issues or to get the proper version downed load. Just tell them that you want to up grade from the 2000 to the PSW 2800. You might need to increase the 12 volt supply fuse size - because of the increase in current demand! http://www.magnum-dimensions.com/references/magnum-remote-compatibility Rich.

Richard, Could you post the series or model number on the unit? I have about 12 Kohler system manuals on file. Rich.

There is a red LED installed into the inside plastic cover in many cases. When the LED is powered - it stands out.(glows a bright red) The solar panels do get damaged, the 2 pin connectors can get unplugged, the wiring can get disconnected or damaged if the AC unit has been worked on and if the 3 Amp fuse)located in the BCC unit has blowen . The LED will not turn on. Rich.

John, For what it is worth, the low voltage could be caused by a cold solder joint. This is a picture of a slide control board - where the white connector (in this case) connects to the board - very off ten there a crack in the solder around the pin(s) on the back side of the board. Do you know of a person that repairs electronic boards?

Keith, If the jacks are made by Power Gear, there are small grease fittings at the bottom of the hydraulic cylinders. When the rams are extended they can be easier to see. Power gear jacks require the seals to be greased every 30 cycles with WHITE lithium GREASE ONLY. 2 squirts only in each fitting clears up the small leaks. Rich.

Chadmgorman, The 2012 is the series number! is it a 2000 or 2800 watt model? Should you go from a 2000 to a 2800, you might consider up grading the 12 volt battery's if you go to the 2800. A 2000 will power a microwave, but with a house style refrigerator a 2800 Pure sine wave might be a better investment. They are much better for all electronic equipment! Rich.

dck22, Welcome to the FMCA Forum ! This is a link to the proper wiring for an RV 30 amp circuit. They are not wired like a common drier 30 amp circuit. You can go to this link and copy the information and share it with your electrician. http://www.myrv.us/Imgs/PDF/30-amp Service.pdf Rich.

Roger, Check the Circuit breakers on the generator, by turning them off and back on. would be the first thing to do. Then we can go a little deeper. From your post it sounds like the generator is running smooth and nominal? Rich.

Nancy, Good travels and stay safe. Always remember the forum is always open to questions. Rich.

Kay, Wondering about this one. Oh yes another is Buckners on I-75 about 20 miles south of Atlanta, don't remember the exit #, but the Flying J is on the right of the Interstate at this exit, just turn and go past the Flying J about 100 yards, NOW is it on the west or right side of I-75 going north or south? Flying J 's can be found, but the DW is direction challenged, but a good cook. Have to give her a brake when the timing is good for a pit stop. Rich.

I have purchased tools from Snap on, Max tools and all the rest. With no problem, just look for on of there tool trucks, stop and ask for one of there business cards. Call them and ask when they are going to be in your area. Sears tools used to rule, but there quality has gone down the tube over the last 10 years or so. SK was a good tool supplier, but people did not like there prices, Thing is they very / very seldome brok or failed and they would rebuild or repair them at most locations for next to nothing. parts but no labor. The good ones are going because price is king and I have spent more for the cheep tools then I have ever spent on good tools up front. Rich.

Skykingtcb. Model number of the Norcold might help the group. Are the surfaces of the Door seal clean? Are the refrigerator surfaces clean? Check the door seal gaskets for any damage to the seals where the material folds between the portion on the door and the magnetic strips that attach the seals to the metal door opening. The listed links might be for parts that would resolve the latch issue(s) Could you attach a picture of the offending latch and the point it latches to for the group? http://thenorcoldguy.com/norcold-1200-1210-doors/ http://thenorcoldguy.com/norcold-door-handle-619573-upper-left-lower-right-for-1200/ http://thenorcoldguy.com/norcold-door-handle-619574-upper-right-lower-left-for-1200/ Rich.

Like Carl, I use Silverleaf software to monitor a number of items in greater detail then the standard instrument panel. The software is free, it is the interface items on needs to purchase. The software runs on a standard laptop, although with an older operating system then windows 10. Settings are set to monitor 15 to 20 items in detail and log them for a detailed look any time I feel something is not quit right. Scan Gauge D is also a very helpful system, but somewhat less flexible and less expensive I'm not up to speed on the Trip Tech system. Rich.

John, Not sure, but this link might lead you to the problem or clear up how it works. https://www.lci1.com/assets/content/support/manuals/pg_82_S0010_01.pdf A complete power gear slide manual - More them most owners will ever use. http://www.liveworkdream.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/PowerGearSlides-ServiceManual.pdf Some of the drive motors fail because the gear casting that holds the gears in place wears in an oblong manner. This issue is caused by the lack a shaft sleeve in the soft mettle casting. A good machine shop can repair that problem in many cases. Rich

Pungoboy64, you might give this outfit a call. https://pdxrvwholesale.com/products/intellitec-ems-control-board-00-00767-200-upgrade-kit The kit replaces a number of parts that up grade the system. Rich.

Mac, The use of surge protectors tend to depend on the owners skills to install them or the space availability to install a permanently installed unit. Many coaches have them installed as OEM equipment. What is the Model year, Make and Model of your coach? Rich.

rkinght, from your information and the fact that things are now working. That would make me look for a bad crimp or loose connection at the power solenoid low current wiring and the salesman switch. The second item to look for is a cold solder connection around the area of the little control board mounted on the larger relay / Solenoid. Not always easy to see ,but just wiggling the wires at the right spot can cause the connection to open and close. Rich.

Five, What EMS panel do you have in the coach? Make and model information. Rich

Blake, An air up and drain common point might be a good thought ! The good part is one can flush the tank without removing the tank from the coach. Should you just happen to have a hydraulic press and the right fixture - you could place a low point( dimple) in the center of the bottom plate for the drain. The gauge material you have to do that would require all four sides of the bottom panel to be properly supported, before applying pressure. Think a depression of no more then 1/4 in. would do the job and everything could be discharged out the drain point with little effort. Rich.

Bob, Welcome to the Forum ! The shop manual shows the steering wheel removed to replace the plastic trim piece !! I do have the steering column section of the workhorse shop manual open. Looking at things - I can not tell if the 4 way switch is mounted directly to the trim or is fastened to the steering column. Not knowing your skill level and tools you have - it might be beyond what you want to tackle. Rich.

Blake, this is part of your reply-Maybe drop the top to lower than the sides and do a fillet weld all the way around? This is doable by placing wire hangers at each corner(kind of like the pull pins the body shops use to remove dents) They spot weld them - but working with aluminum one might be able to epoxy the wires near the corners that hang the plate equidistant from each corner. Then remove them and finish each corner. When the tank is finished - cap all the openings, use a old pressure cap and install a threaded air fitting. Pressurize the tank to 10 to 15 lbs. and sink it in a tub of water. I have used bricks to get enough weight to sink smaller tanks - look for air bubbles or soapy spry and look for boubles. Rich.
