tmoning,Thanks for the heads up !! Rich.

Take a look at this link. The style has changed - so there is a good chance that the thread's and the diameter have also. Now that I have your picture to look at, I will see if I can find one at one of my old supply houses. Yes there is a spring inside this style fuse holder-the key is the correct diameter and length. http://www.mouser.com/Search/Refine.aspx?FS=TRUE&N=4294764378+18503194+4291292757+4294649083+4291348749+4291336044+1323043 Could you measure the Gray portion's length and diameter - also measure the metal portion's length and diameter. Post that information for me. This style holder has prongs at the bottom / Called a bayonet that contact slots inside the holder to keep the holder in place as you rotate it Now to see if we can get lucky !!! Rich.

TakingTurns, Welcome to the FMCA Forum! This is the only link I know about. You might need to exchange some information to get the Atlas you want. http://store.randmcnally.com/landing/fmca.html Rich.

This is a link I just found that might be helpful http://www.autobooksbishko.com/search.cgi?year=2005&make=Workhorse&category=Shop+Manual Copy of original post Posted 04 August 2013 - 11:55 PM I was looking for some different Workhorse information when I ran into this information on the 2005 and 2009 series chassis. A lot of general information, but what caugh my eye was the information on the fuse panels and the information on the internal and external fuse locations and what they protect. Motorhome fuse panels are covered in Section 4, Pages 71 to 80. The PDF file pages are page 224 to 233 in the 2005 manual. Maintenance intervals are also covered and the Auto Park system for some models. First Link 2005 http://www.workhorse...ers Manuals.pdf Second Link 2009 Fuse block information on Motorhomes. Pages 216 to 235 http://www.workhorse...er's Manual.pdf Third Link, More Like A Shop Manual. for 1999 to 2009, the UFO Chassis and P chassis. Weight specifications. This workhorse information covers more of the mechanical maintenance and repair information for the chassis. With allot of engine, transmission, suspension and on page 49 lists the engine maintenance items like. filters, plugs and transmission filter kits. Vin number location(s) an pictures of the fuse box locations. http://www.workhorse... - 06-22-09.pdf Note! These are large files around 390 pages in all. A chassis Repair manual and other information is at this link. This is a link to purchase a maintenance manual. http://www.workhorse...ryID=17&Level=a The third link maybe real close to the information listed above. This is a link to some good pictures of the Workhorse UFO Chassis. http://www.rvcruzer.com/UFO.php Rich.

Peggy ! Doubt you have a ME612. like Kay mentioned- Have you tried to run the Refrigerator from shore power? The ME-1212 series is a modified Sine wave inverter. The MS-2012 is a Sine Wave inverter. Have you added any electrical items to the coach,-possible over load issue? What is the charge level of the coach batteries? Overload During inverter and AC Shore Power operation, the inverter monitors the AC and DC circuits. In the event of a short-circuit or overload condition, the inverter will shut down. The inverters LED turns OFF to indicate the fault condition. Over temperature During inverter operation, if the inverter becomes overheated, it will shut down to protect itself from damage. The inverters LED turns OFF to indicate the fault condition. No rest information listed in my information! Rich.

Peggy, Welcome to the FMCA Forum! Expanding on Jim's post. Did the Coach come equipped with this current refrigerator or did you change out the OEM refrigerator? Most of the new refrigerators do not like the Modified Sine wave power supplied by many of the inverters. Many of the newer coaches are equipped with a Pure Sine Wave output inverter. Could you post the Make and Model of you inverter; and if it was part of the Coach OEM equipment. Rich.

Carl, could you post the model information and any information on the parabolic dish you have. Will do some looking around-been out of the loop for theses systems and when Bill was posting I kind of let the old information I had just get older. Things change so fast and just subtle changes in software and receiver design can change what one can do to adapt the hardware. Hope Bill responds to a PM - it would be nice to know how he is doing and what he has been up to. Rich.

Carl, DD is correct. The need for multiple LNB's to receive Direct TV requires a different geometry for the dish. Rich.

Carl, been catching up on the thread. Kay made a good point about using a magnet. Should the material be aluminum and the way it is distributed / spread out and the concentration changes would make me think that there is something like a steel roller rubbing(Loss of an "E" clip that should hold it in place missing) on the rail or allowing the rail sections to rub each other. Did the coach builder provide any load limit information for the slid out? Rich.

Question, Who rebuilt the engine the first time? Did it come with some kind of warranty? Do you have a Cummins Power Club Membership? It could save you 10%. Think it would be worth the $20.00 for a membership. Rich.

Carl, You mentioned the shavings where under the rug. Did you lift up the rug or did you just notice it was coming loose from the sub floor? Wondering if it was left under the rug during construction? When the assembly was being fitted. That is a lot of metal. Rich.

Brian, One item you might want to consider. Look and see if there is any or how much insulation is installed around the front of your coach. I have install insulation on the floor behind the kick panel in front of the passenger side, on the inside of the firewall from the drivers side all the way across to the passenger side, under the extended dash area outside the coach and the outside firewall. Think you will fine that the only material between you and the outside is the wood used for the firewall. I took the time to add insulation on the outside of the firewall also. Outside where it is exposed to the elements, I used a mylar style insulation cut to fit around every surface above the generator on our coach and the under side of the extended dash. The real trick is to find a good method to attach the materials to each of the areas. The dash support in many cases is made of rectangular steel tubing. I used some expandable foam injected into these. Wrapped the duct work - this reduced the condensation that forms when the cold ducts contact warm / moist air and maximized cool air transfer from the heater / AC blower box. Time consuming job, but the difference in our comfort level was well worth the time both if summer heat and winter cold. Rich.

Brian, The dash duct output temperature in the recycle mode for our dash AC reads about 20 to 25 degrees lower then the ambient. So at an ambient temp. of 70 to 75 deg. will read 50 to 55 deg. at the vents. The dash AC units on most Coaches will not cool the entire coach. So many owners run there generator and one or two roof AC units. Rich.

Michael, If everything is clean, tight and voltage is good; then my thought leans towards the circuit board. You might also want to clean the tank on the water heater. Remove the drain plug and the safety valve / flush the tank by spraying water into the top opening and you will see some sediment come out the drain. To really clean it-replace the drain plug, pure 4 gal. of distilled vinegar into the vent opening-fill the tank up to the lower edge of the hole. Install the safety valve. Start the water heater. Let it run until it stops, Turn it off / let the vinegar set in the tank as it cools off-"Cold" 4 Gallons of vinegar works well for the 6 Gal heaters / The 10 gal. heaters need 6 Gal. !! Then drain and flush it again, flush longer with a strong stream of water / spraying around the inside area as best as you can. If this has never been done you should notice faster hot water recovery time !! NOTE! This is a good Time to check the safety valve will work properly when you open it manually. A valve that does not open properly can turn your water heater into a bomb ! The terminal switch opens the circuit to close the gas valve / the mechanical safety is there as a backup / just in case the terminal switch fails. Rich.

Brian, Welcome to the FMCA Forum! The AC systems can be a changeling!! Does the Low And High Side pressure equalize when you turn off the system/ compressor? gauges should equal out !! How long do you do let the system sIt when its under a vacuum? When you run the vacuum pump - do you get an equal reading on both gauges? If all the above items are in spec, when you charge the system and no more 134 is being drawn into the system, Stop the compressor and let the system equalize. Then start the compressor again, it might take a few cycles to get the charge up to the proper levels. Oh, is the evaporator fan running when you start the AC system? Bad fan motor-relay-fuse? Rich.

Michael, Clean the contacts on the connector and the socket on the circuit board. Check for good grounds. The circuit boards get testy at times. The gas valve should open-then the ignition / spark should fire. The circuit should try to light the burner 3 times - then the red LED on the inside switch will light if it fails to get a flame. Need a good 12 volts to the board also. Rich.

Joe, this is what I understand happens with the pre-2010 EPA regulations. What EGR does, “It deprives the combustion event of some of its oxygen by introducing cooled exhaust gas, which is lower in oxygen, into the intake system, thereby reducing the combustion temperature and lowering NOx production. “The good news is that you don't have to add much extra to the system to accomplish NOx reduction this way,” “The downside is that the lower-temperature diesel combustion is less efficient, so it creates more particulate matter and it burns more fuel. That being the case, do Diesels equipped with EGR system still require the Regeneration cycles? and are they initiated in the same way and run for the same time of 5 to 50 min. Rich.

Don, this is a link to the regeneration information from Cummins. The What, How and Why http://www.mid-pac.com/documents/DPF_EN.pdf Additional information Link. http://cumminsengines.com/brochure-download.aspx?brochureid=88 Rich.

JDNAN, Welcome also! You might try to contact HWH- They still supply the swing up stile jacks.The Load Capacity range for the kick down stile is 6,000 to 24,000lbs. Series from AP1206 to AP4390 Depending on what you need tyem might have items that would work to replace things. The difference is HWH uses hydraulics Contact link. http://www.hwhcorp.com/contactus3.html Rich. I think this is the technical information on your jacks, if that might help. http://www.powerpluslevelers.com/swing-jacks-1.html

Charles, Welcome to the FMCA Forum! You might try this link. to see what they have to offer that might be helpful. http://www.spartanchassis.com/cps/about/contact.asp Rich.

Good to see your post Bob H. I think I know you from somewhere ! Rich.

Dan, They have some good programs for the younger members of the family,so you can look around and attend some seminars. Think you will really enjoy the Rally. Rich.

George, You might be able to work with a gun dealer to ship the item to another dealer close to where you would like to use it in the lower 48. I have carried a long gun into Canada with the paper work needed before 9-11. We where on a trip to Alaska, where my son and I would be flying back into a remote area where there are more animals then people and the fact that if something is moving it is food as far as bears are concerned. I liked the fact that if I needed to put something down this item would do it, no question about it and we knew it was sighted in, At long range if for some reason we injured something for safety sake - there is nothing worse then a large wounded animal in the wild. Two big bears where in the area, but we did not to use the fire power over a 10 day period. They knew we where in the area. Both parties giving a little extra space to each other !!! Sometimes one is not at the top of the food chain! Rich.

dlrmp2008, Welcome to the FMCA Forum! The Fuse Replacement part number is RP6352. See the links below. The lower portion of the fuse holder can brake, if this happens then the fuse does not make contact with the terminal. http://www.hwhcorp.com/mr201200.pdfdlrmp http://www.hwhcorp.com/mr201000.pdf HWH contact information. http://www.hwhcorp.com/custserv3.html Rich

Wayne, The real issue I have about all the new safety system being added to the vehicles is---There is nothing built that is ever going to be problem free !!!! And people get very dependent on them working. Worked for over 50 years in the Electronics field and standard purchased items do not come with redundant circuits and if the vehicle starts everything is fine and if a light comes on we tend to say to ourselves - I will get it fixed later ! Rich.
