Try Bing.com. Lots of info there on Mercury RVs.

Sometimes when I refuel then park the MH (and it gets really hot), I get some fuel coming out the overflow tube under the tank, but not out the filler tubes. Usually only a quart or so comes out...I catch in in a can.
-
I have done all my vehicles for years. As yet I have not done the MH because I have not acquired the 'stuff' necessary to take care of 28 quarts of oil. I currently take the MH and the new oil/filter to a Mom and Pop diesel shop. For $65 they change oil/filter, dispose of the oil/filter and lube the chassis.

My ISL runs right around 200 all the time. Crossing the Rockies it went to 207.

Many folks do not like WM, but it's a good company. My son works in the corp office. A while back he got a promotion and informed me he'd be working 10 hour days..."good I said, Friday off." No such luck he told me, five 10 hour days! So they pay well and have good benefits, but they work hard.

Good info, Rich, thanks.

Thanks guys, I'll check your suggestions out next time I'm at the MH.

I'd put something under the tires such as gravel then a treated 2' x 12'. The tires should not sit on grass or black top.

We have the standard Navion R 5000 radio, that incorporates AM/FM/CD/Sat, cameras, GPS, TP, engine data, etc. The radio works fine with the engine off. With the engine on, the right speaker is scratchy (on and off) and the left speaker cuts on and off. I've pulled the access cover off and everything appears secure as are both speakers. Can't find the ground.
Any suggestions appreciated.

I use Protect All on my lights to keep them from getting "dull."

Camping World, Walmart, most Auto Parts Stores, RV service centers, on-line.
Also any marine store.

Thanks for all the input. Has anyone had any issues with the Magashield not holding up if it was windy? Does it hold good at the bottom as well as were the magnets are? Thanks again
Our Magnashades have never moved in any wind. The magnets used on the front shade (by far the biggest) are about the diameter of a quarter and 5/16" thick. There are magnets in the lower corners of all shades, but not across the bottom, none have moved. Roger sends a wooden rod 4' long to assist in mounting...he also puts small pockets in the tops of the shades where the rod goes so you can lift/push the shade to the appropriate magnet.

How many screws have you found? My coach has four.

We are on RV number five and this is the only one that has had tank sensors that work continue to work. On the other RVs, we ''knew'' when it was time to dump based on experience...and dumped then. We ignored the sensors.

We are on the road, and yesterday I had a conversation with a neighbor that has the same 400HP ISL that we have. During the course of the conversation, I asked what they got for MPG. "6.2, with or without the toad." I said that seemed a bit low, and asked what they used for cruise speed...75!!

Magnets go on the inside for the windshield...really big magnets. All other windows have the magnets on the outside. Roger has a set procedure for cleaning the window and applying the stuff that makes them stick. He supplies everything, all supplies and instructions. So far none of mine have moved.

We too are former boaters. Had a variety of boats over the years, most recently a Catalina 320 sloop, that we sold in Dec 2012. Had an RV and a boat for many years, but with our increased MH travels and lack of time for sailing, could not justify the cost of the boat...slip, insurance, maint, etc.

I got my front windshield shade from here. Liked it so well, I got one each for the driver's window, pass window, front door window and a big shade for a double set of windows mid coach. No snaps or bungees, all magnets, very easy up, very easy down. A bit pricey, but worth it.

I'll let you know what I find out. Appreciate the help.

Most ins companies will offer a zero deductible rider for windshields.

What Brett said, except I don't use synthetics in anything.

Thanks for your help, you've been doing some serious research. We are on the road, and plan to be on the road for another couple of weeks. I'm hesitant to do any serious trouble shooting when we need the leveling system, but will when we get home. Thanks again.

Read the faults at the keypad.
Agree, the owner's manual will tell you how to use it.

Stay after Fleetwood. They are very good accommodating customers, although sometimes it takes a while to get to the correct person.

The date is dated Jan 2009. Since that time American Coach is no longer using Spartan, but a new model Freightliner.
Follow the money...IMHO.
