In our 2002 Monaco Dynasty we have both a 120 shore power outlet and an inverter outlet. I have not checked them to see if when 120 volts from shore power is on that the inverter is off, but 120 at the inverter outlet when shore power is off. Herman

msds99, If your Inverter is bad you will not have any way to convert your 12 volt to 120 volt. However if it still converts 12 to 120 and it will still charge your batteries as you said, plug it in when running the generator to charge the batteries, then what is wrong with the Inverter? Herman

When you have vibrations when driving you can determine front or rear this way: if the vibration is in the steering wheel then it is the front wheels. If the vibration in felt in the seat then it is coming from the rear wheels. Herman

John, That should do it. Herman

t46, You should be able to tow your Trooper with the truck in neutral. Does it have a steering wheel lock and do you need to have the key on to put it in neutral? With a supplemental braking system you may need to have a charging line connected so as to not run down your battery. Good Luck Herman

One habit I have gotten into when driving where there are steep grades is just as I am getting ready to start on a incline I will step down on the accelerator. This way I increase the boost to its max and I don't loose much power. It works most of the time (when I am paying attention) for me. Herman

Harvey, here in North Texas the price goes from $3.33.9 down to $3.09.9. I am sure prices on the Interstates will be higher. Herman

Fuel pricing goes all over the place. Most anytime that you stop and fill up while traveling, you will go down the road and find it at a lower price. Such is the life of Rving. Some folks might go ten miles out of their way to save $0.02 per gallon. If their tank would take 100 gallons they spent $6.00 to $7.00 to save $2.00, as the old Robot said "That does not compute Will Robins." Herman

Rob, my slides will not operate with the engine running or even with the key on and the engine not running. Herman

Sorry to hear about your problem. Andy at Cummins should be able to give you any information on your warranty. Cummins comes with 5 year or 50,000 miles, which every come first. You should be good on the 50 k but in question about the 5 yrs. I believe it starts with when the unit was purchased/put into service. Good Luck, Herman

Sambar, Does it make the same noise when you dump your air? If so then dirt dobbers might be causing a restriction. It wasn't said but do you have air leveling or jacks? Does the noise continue the entire time you are trying to level or just when you begin? And when all else fails, like Brett said call Tiffin. Happy Thanksgiving, Herman

Mike, you will find your pump and reservoir under the top step. You must remove the storage tub and you will see the unit there. There is where you can fill the reservoir from the top. You may also view you HWH solenoids from the underside just in front of the step under the coach. Herman

Tom, If I am not mistaken (which a lot of the time I am), the wiper arm is splined and will only mount one way. This was done due to the synchronizing of the two arms. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Louise. Herman

Bill, On my 2003 Dynasty the bottle is located in the front. The Generator has to be pulled out. I don't remember if it is on the right or left side. Do your complete wiper blade go down below the gasket or just the end. If it is just the end the blade can be rotated to make the blade level with the gasket. Herman

We have Dish in our home. Therefore we have a receiver (a 211) that stays in the coach and we just call Dish when we travel and are in one place for several days to change us to the local channel where we are. We have several friends that do the same thing and some that have Direct and do the same with no problem. The key is that we scribe to Dish at home. Herman

zdzi, Even though you turn off you battery disconnect there are several items in the system that are still connected and over time will discharge your batteries. To be certain your have everything off you should disconnect the negative (ground) cable of both Chassis and house batteries. Since so many batteries are sealed I use a load tested to check my Batteries. I charge them then use the load tester. I have had brand new batteries that although showed fully charged by a volt meter they would not pass the load test. Let face it there are bad units from the best of manufactures. Herman

Walt, can you send a picture of the mounting? It would be helpful in solving your problem. Herman

Roger, They put it there so folks would ask, "why a Clamp on ABS Pipe." Now a word of caution even though you have drained the Holding Tank be sure and raise the coach so the outlet is up about level. You surely don't want any surprises. Herman

Mr. Walt, Welcome to the Forum. Most RV switches are clip mounted in the face plate. If you can remove the plate you will see clips on both the top and bottom of the switch. Squeeze the clips together and the switch should pop right out. Your switch should have a number on it and you may google the number and come up with a replacement. Herman

Ron, Take pictures as you go and post them for those that want to do the same change out may see how you did the change. Herman

Gaylemarlowe, Tom is correct. By the time you purchase the polished Stainless sheet material (it will only come in sheet form), have it cut to size, bent and installed with some sort of adhesive you will be way over the cost of buying them already made for your coach. If you are only looking to protect the bottom of your doors and trim think about having a sprayed on such as Rhino Liner done. I have see where people have had the front of their coach sprayed and painted with the liner. Herman

As Ray said, it is good to call ahead to ask for permission to park. While the Map shows the WalMart locations you need to call before just showing up. WalMart is very gracious about allowing RVs to park over night, however some are located in a city, village or township that does not allow overnight parking. Call first, park where directed and go in and shop (also push in a cart or two from the lot.) Herman

With out a better look, to me it looks like back of an inverter. I would also be concerned about the burnt spot. Herman

Darn, now I want to take this trip also. Herman

r+ and Ron, Look for postings by Tom & Louise Butler, and PM him. He changed out his unit and has some great instructions, model numbers and pictures. Herman
