  1. I noticed this plastic block under slide after I opened it.  It seems to mount at bottom entrance where slide room enters rv. The bottom edge of slide has a slanted edge also.  The block glides the slide over the edge of opening.  Im going to try to reinstall it where it came off.

  2. I replaced lower in cable for slide. Prior to removing cable I noticed some cables have more slack then others. I was wondering if that is normal and after replacing cable I took picture of slack. The slide is all the way out now and prior to putting trim back up want to know if I should tighting cable so all have tension??

  3. Im trying to see if my battery connections are correct. When the rv engine is running the interior control panel will show batteries charging but when hooked up to shore power it never shows batteries charging. The panel will show the status of the batteries if it goes down to fair or low. The panel never shows the charge light but if it is low after a while the panel shows good again? Also I noticed if I turn off the  chassis switch I dont get any readings from the master panel?? I thought that would be controlled by the house batteries??? Im including pictures of battery compartment. The House switch is on the left and Cassis is on the right. I have owners manual but it doesnt have any information on correct wiring. Its a 2008 Monaco La palma XL

  4. When the steps open or closes the motor continues to operate and it makes a sound like the gears are still trying to extend or close the steps. Is there a way to adjust motor/gear to stop after the steps are fully open or closed?? I have a 2008 Monaco LaPalma

    I know this sounds like a stupid question, but will the coach crank with those batteries out? If so, the pictures look as though someone may have the wrong knobs on the two switches, this would explain everything seeming backwards.

    I guess what you need to do is find out which one of those cables in there powers the house lights and put it on the house batteries. Should be easy to figure out by disconnecting one at a time. Usually slides run on the chassis batteries. Mine needs to be running to operate the slides and levelers.

    Would It be a positive or negative? I had 4 single positive cables connected to chassis batteries and 3 single negative ones. The picture of compartment shows all loose wires while batteries were out.

    That looks like the jump start solenoid. I think if that failed he would have interior lights on house and chassis batteries.

    That's how I noticed I was having a problem with batteries. The solenoid was clicking. When I checked batteries the house were good but chassis were 6.5v and 7.1v. I took them out and tested them. One was bad other wouldn't fully charge. They were 7 years old. After putting in new batteries no clicking.


  8. Had a problem with chassis batteries, make a long story short. While testing batteries I noticed that all interior 12v lights, master control panel that shows tank levels and battery power level level were powered by the chassis batteries. the only controls that worked from master panel were slide switches. So I know the slides are working from the house batteries. When I removed the bad batteries and replaced them with new all sytems worked again.  I made sure i did not have house & chassis batteries  switched. I dont know if connections are original because I bought rv used. I am enclosing pictures of battery compartment prior to adding new batteries.  My question is why would interior lights and control panel be using Chassis batteries??

  9. I got the new motor and installed it. Would you know it still didn't work. Did the trouble shoot guide and came back bad solenoid. The levels worked when I jumped solenoid. My new question is the power jack part number for the new solenoid is #500310 . When you see it, it only shows 3 terminals. my current solenoid(bad) has 4 terminals. Anybody know what type it is. I cant see any numbers on it.

  10. My powergear system powers on but pump motor doesnt start. I tried following the trouble shooting guide from powergear. confused with connect 12vdc to motor side of solenoid. which spot is motor side??? You have red power, black ground and the blue wire on the solenoid. Where do I test with 12vdc??? There is 12v power going to solenoid but how do you test it. I know from experience with cars you just use screwdriver and touch both posts. Dont want to mess anything up by doing that. Pictures would help.
