  1. The easy answer is to do what the manual says. My previous coach had an ISL and said change the oil at 20k or one year, whichever came first. My Detroit Diesel in this coach says 35k...no time limit.
  2. I do not know if Newmar has a tech line, but if you still have problems and the do have a tech line, call them. I had a problem with my coach not starting I called the Amer Coach tech line and the tech talked me through, step by step, setting up the system so it would not happen again.
  3. The dog hair will turn many prospective buyers off, even dog lovers...it's not their dog. I'd get rid of the dog hair, leave the front alone and clean the carpet. If you can't get the carpet clean, have it done professionally.
  4. FYI, adjusting the slides is a serious issue. We were at a rally where the factory had numerous techs. They would not adjust my slides and said they adjust the slides only at the factory in case there is a problem.
  5. We had a similar problem last week. Turns out the breaker in the stalk was bad.
  6. FYI, the ISL is now increased to a max of 450 HP and 1,250 lb/ft torque. Those numbers are also the max for the Allison 3,000, any more HP or torque requirse the Allison 4,000.
  7. I too have had a recent blow out...RF in May. However, it's been my observation the vast majority of blowouts are on pull behinds and 5th wheels. IMHO, the reason for that is that most of their tires are made in China and are not nearly as good as the tires made elsewhere we put on our MHs. I had a 5th wheel and did not have a blowout, but the Chinese made Mission tire just came apart...properly inflated and loaded, going 60 MPH...just a lousy tire. I replaced them with LT tires, no more issues.
  8. For a 2007 model gasser, 33k is not bad. If it checks out okay...and the D/W likes it, do it.
  9. They are talking about the anti freeze, not fresh water. Also, propylene glycol is the recommended anti freeze.
  10. Try pushing both switches together...that's how the water level is set, but it flushes first. If it works, take your fingers off the two swithches when the water reaches the desired height in the bowl.
  11. If it's like everything else, there is some kind of safety feature to prevent that from happening. Like if you put it in drive with the jacks down...bells and whistles go off and it won't move. Or try to move before the jacks are all the way up.
  12. These generators will run for weeks/months at a time...with very little care. That's what we did in VN.
  13. Carl, if you have sent me a PM, the system won't let me open it...nor can I edit my post above.
  14. Have you tried pushing on the door next to the lock when turning the key...that might releave some pressure? Also...couple of points of clarification. The AH has no tank. And, when you turn on either the electric element or the burner (or both), all water coming out the hot faucets will be coming through the AH, so it will be hot. All of this has nothing to do with your water pump, bay door, or access to the AH. Ideally, if all was well with the AH, there is no reason to open that bay door.
  15. FYI...Even if the sensor says the tank is full, you can override it by pushing and holding either flush switch for six seconds. Then it will flush.
  16. Yes, as Carl noted. However, if you have a smart charger just leave it plugged in...that's what I do.
  17. Agree...get the ones with the best deal...that are not made in China.

    Sampson Tires

    Who makes Sampson? No Chinese tires for me...BTDT.
  19. One problem with pulling fuses, you might dump the memory in your radio and any other electrical settings you might have.
  20. We had a similar problem, the motor would run, but no suction. Turns out there was a kink in the line. The kink was very close to the outlet in the coach. The tech took the cover off, pulled the line through (there was plenty), got to the kink and cut the line there. When it was reattached, all was fine.
  21. All these coaches are different. I was told that the reason my slides would not operate without the key on (recommend engine running) was a safety consideration. Apparently they were concerned a child could active a slide by just pushing a button...if he/she could reach it.
  22. The "mystery" of Marvel Mystery Oil, is why anybody would use it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Mystery_Oil
  23. I checked my coach today...sorry, can't help you. They must have changed the way they put them together.
