67, I had a similar issue with our coach. Had a trickle charge in the coach. it had a difficult time keeping my batteries charged. Turned out one of my two 12 volt chassis batteries was bad. Changed out both and now the trickle charger keep then up very well. I have mentioned this before but will tell it again. Most diesel coaches have a built in block heater. In most cases it is on a power cord that has to plug into a receptacle in the engine bay. That receptacle is only hot when on shore power or with the generator running. I mounted my trickle charger in the battery bay and connected it to the batteries. I then unpluged the block heater cord and plugged the trickle charger in the the receptacle . Now any time I am on the gen. or shore power the charger maintains the charge in the chassis batteries. A few but not many inverters will charge both house and chassis batteries. Hope this helps.

IMHO if a check valve is installed before or after the pump and in the correct direction, it will not cycle off and on. With a working check valve it will prevent water pressure from going backwards which will allow the pump to build up sufficient pressure to shut off the pump until there is a demand for water. It will then, after the water demand is shut off, it will build up the correct pressure and shut off the pump. Herman

John, Welcome to the Forum. Yes the Trip Planning was dropped on Dec. 31, 2017. If you will email dball@fmca he will give the correct information. If I understand correctly it can still be gotten but through other steps. Herman

Rick, NICE................... Herman

Joe, Had a friend that had a 1999 Beaver Patriot Thunder that had the windshield popping out problem. Carl, Was it you that told me about the fix on the Monaco products that had the windshield issue? Herman

Joe the front cap on the Windsor and the Dynasty are the same, however there may be a difference in the skeleton from one model to the next. Herman

jen, Have you checked the direction of the flow on the pump? Herman

Blake, I have heard of this issue before. I understand, sorry I can't remember where I heard it, that there is a brace that can be installed in the front cap just above the windshield. It stiffens up the farming of the front and eliminates the windshield/front cap issue. I will try and found out where I heard about the brace. Herman

Carl, Is he capable of doing any of the work and if so do you trust him to do a good job? If not and you need them to vacate until the work is done, does that constitute breaking the lease. If so then Linda doesn't need to return her deposit. Then again we are talking about a small Hill Country Town where we all know things are done a bit different. Good luck to Linda and keep your rubber boots on. Herman

Sorry to hear about the house. Was it empty? Had the water been running all that time? Let us know if there is anything we can do. Herman & Bobbie

acadnaif, Welcome to the Forum. Best bet would be to put The Weather Channel app on your phone. that way you can check the weather on your way and in Indio with out any problems. Good Luck and enjoy Indio. Herman

Bikeryder, Looks like you got rid of a lot of frustrations with that therapy session. Herman

Check with RV Fog Dr. Searcy Arkansas. 501-278-3015 RVFog Dr.com Ask Ed if they have the inserts you need. Herman

My 15 year old coach has noises and they are Here Today and Gone Tomorrow only to be replaced by another. Herman

Carl, What you have is a bad check valve in your pump. They are notorious for failing. Especially when subjected to high pressures. You can put an end to the problem by installing a inline check valve. I had my pump check valve fail on several occasions until I installed an inline check valve. One of the main reason they recommend the pressure reducer on your hose is to protect the pump check valve . As for the pump cycling off and on is due to the check valve seeping back into the tank. If on shore water it can cause the tank to fill and overflow. If not on shore water and only on the pump the pump will cycle off and on since the pump can't hold the preset limit switch. If you have shutoff valve between the pump and the tank, you can close it when on shore power and prevent the tank from filling. I got my inline check valve at Lowe's along with a ball valve and all the needed hoses and clamps. Herman

I have seen vehicles with the standard single shock per side that had the configuration changed to a two shock ride. However that was when a tall Lift Kit was installed. I think the person that gave the advice to add a second shock may have a good point for a heavy vehicle. Herman

Would the difference in the voltage have anything to do with the performance between the two country's? Herman

Just noticed in the OP the entry steps are a Corean, Granite or some other Hard surface material. It looks as if there is some sort of non skid on them. Maybe he can show the entry steps to the Topic about remodeling your entry steps. Ernie made a comment about hard surfaces. Sorry to move away from the Topic. Herman

It appear that several folks here need to "Agree to Disagree". Lets all just agree or disagree and not get argumentative. Hope everyone is safe & sound and warm. Herman

Any suggestions on an easy way to apply RainEX on a large windshield.? Herman

Joe, Most fridges have what they refer to as a drain pan. Most are not removable. They sit right under the compressor and are supposed to catch an moister in the pan and the heat from the compressor will evaporate the collected moisture. I think you hit the nail on the head with the seal. Most of our DWs would like for us to get an issue solved asap. However when my DW see the estimate and she knows I can fix it she forgets the dealer. It seems that now a days , dealers will bill you for just driving into their lots. I do know my limitations and that is where I leave it to the Professionals. Herman

Hoggem, Can you pin point it to the slide, latch or between the two glasses. You may try putting a small wedge between the two panes and see if it stops. (be careful to not put too much pressure on the wedge) Dose it stop when you crack the window just a bit? If it is still there then try all the way open. Also take a look around the Window frame on the out side and make sure there is caulk all the way around. You can also try tightening all the screws around the frame on the inside. Let us know what you find. Herman

I was told that my records were also lost in the fire in St. Louis. But a few months after I requested them they showed up. I have been told that all records are duplicated somewhere. Not sure if that is Fact or Fiction. Herman

Holligan, (couldn't resist) the gate was left open and everyone went as far south from SC as they could. I saw where is was very cold out on the East Coast. Hope you warm up soon. Herman

When you stop and think about it, HD was hoping that folks with all types of power mowers would see it there and purchase it. One of their marketing people thinking ahead. Herman
