    Welcome to the Forum. 

    When you winterize the RV did you remove all filters?

    Sorry, I see that you changed the filters.

    Can you take the directions used to winterize and back track and see if you missed a valve or two in the process.

    On my 7500 Onan the Circuit Breaker is on the start run panel on the drivers side of the Generator it is a 30 amp breaker and in clear sight, you can't miss it.

    Off subject, I just serviced my generator. Oil filter, fuel filter, air cleaner and coolant. I would do all over anytime with the exception of the coolant. That is one difficult job. After draining the old coolant, very easy, you have to find the fill neck, which by the way is below the top level of the radiator. However it can be maneuvered so as to be higher then the top of the radiator. It takes 4 quart of coolant, I used Fleet Guard EL (1,000,000 miles) coolant. You have to put in a bit and wait about a hour for it to seep down then repeat till you think it is full. Run the generator which after about 5 minutes cuts off due to over heating. Repeat adding a bit at a time an so on. Need less to say I got it done but it took the better part of 2 days. (Best Left up to the Pros)

    What you have is a bad check valve in your pump. Most of the time it is damaged when there is extremely high water pressure. It is expensive to replace a pump ever time you blow a check valve. The best thing you can do is go to your home improvement store and by a check valve and install it between the tank and the pump. about $6.00 and no more blown check valve in your pump. My check valve has been on my coach for over 10 years and the only time my fresh water tank has over flowed was when someone forgot to shut off the valve when filling the tank:wub:.

    Eric, what will kill a plug faster than anything is plugging and unplugging when the Circuit Breaker is on. Arching will burn the pins and make the power hard to make connections and will heat up your plug, It is a good thing to do quit often is to clean the pins. Emory cloth and even an Emory Board will do the job.

    Don, let's rephrase this.

    During the Governing Board Meeting in Gillette Wyoming at the 103rd International Convention and RV Expo, a vote was taken and the dues for renewing your membership were reduced to $50.00 per year and to join it was reduced to $60.00 for the first year. This was done without reducing any Benefits.

    Cat engines are still being built every day. The Cat engine that were used in Motorhomes were truck engine and part should be available at most truck shops and/or dealers.

    Either coach is a good choose the biggest question does the DW like one floor plan over the other one? That's what count the most.

    Welcome to the Forum. 

    4 to 5 ththousand is pretty close. You will find most shops labor rates run from $115.00 to as high as $185.00 per hour. 

    Diagnosing a motorhome is not like a car where you plug in a computer and it diagnosis it for you.

    So sorry, your repairs may have been a bit high but I don't think think you got ripped off. 

    Again welcome, 

    Herman
