My Sister and brother in law have a 2002 Georgie Boy Suite (28') and it came with only 30 amp service in the coach but with a 50 amp power cord. Maybe that is what Chrisg has.

cwmodlin1, Welcome to the Forum. Does this occur at different Parks or just 1? I don't know if there are any places where the power is still the old Delta System. I know that it will spike at the most opertune times. Check with the your Inverter Mfg. and see what they have to say. Also check your power cable and the plug on the coach. Some times the connections become loose over time and they can also oxidize. A loose or correded connsction can give you a problem.

Sorry that you have not gotten a response to your post. By having your own ODBl you must do most of your own repairs and you just need help locating the sensor. A call to my local Ford Truck Dealer would be my first place to start. They may have a service bulliten on your problem, if not I am sure they can tell you where the sensor is located. It may be as simple as reprograming your ECM. Good Luck. (You will get help soon)

Some say tomatoe some say toemotoe. Have a good one.

GK Smith, Welcome to the Forum. As Brett said check with the maker of the gauge. Yours will be an electric gauge and if I understand them, they record mileage from the same source as the speedometer. It sounds as if there is a problem with the odometer led or lcd. The gauges in my Monaco are Beede and you can google them. If you have the owners packet for your coach there may be a chart of all parts purchased and who the vendor was.

Here we are, still in Van Horn. This city is not one of the best tourist sites to visit. Hotter then the depths of ---- in the summer and colder then a witche' ---. Most people going through Van Horn and needing a stay longer then 3 or 4 hours will stay at the local RV park. Most RVers know that at todays prices of fuel ($3.95+) a short stop to rest for 2 or 3 hours only cost about $12 to 15.00 to run the gen set. Longer then they will go to the park. So what the city mothers and fathers have done is caused the local RV parks and businesses to lose money. But hey now they don't have to worry about those very bad elements like RVers loitering in their wonderful pristine city.

There is an member of FMCA, that will remain unknown, that says to go ahead and drill holes for your sign on the front of your coach. If someone that is a member of FMCA buys the coach, the hole will already be there. If they aren't members they may join to get their own egg to cover the non faded area and holes. Who knows it might work. If I don't have the opportunity later on, "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year" May all of your travels this season and in the future be safe and with good health. :D

With their attitude it might get slower. But hay, you will be able to drive a little faster now that there wont be any RVs slowing down the town folks.

Rx2Sail, Welcome to the Forum. Your King Dome will work with either Dish or Direct. There are some step switchs in the dome that can be set to either one.(Google Winegard with your dome and you can get the manuel on how to make the switches). Your TV may already be HD. However if it isn't it will still work on the satellite. You should not have to do anything to watch TV. If you do want HD your will have to replace your dome with an automatic dish. Winegard has what you will need on their web site. Do you now have either Dish or Direct TV? If you do you can take a receiver from your home and put it in your coach when you travel. If you have Direct I beleive you can watch every thing they offer because they use only 1 satellite. Dish uses 2 satellites 110 and 119 and your dome will cycle between the 2. I hope this helps and if I have stated something wrong you can rest assure that someone will correct me. Good Luck.

I love the maintenance free products. No dip stick, your transmission is maintenance free. Dealer service man's quote "You ruined your transmission because your fluid was LOW". Your maintenance free battery is bad because you didn't keep the water level up. What does Chrysler say about having your No Dip Stick serviced? Is it every 30, 40 or 50K miles. When they drain the fluid how do they know how much fluid to replace? I have always said that before an automobile engineer can design cars or drive trains they have to spend at least two years in a auto repair shop. I think we would then have a lot of different setup and designs. Just a thought, again, from the cheap seats.

Larry, Welcome to the Forum. If you don't mind me asking, what did it cost for the shop to reprogram you ISL? I am assuming that you had a 350 HP Cummins? What were you getting in MPG before the reprogram? At present time I am getting 6.7 to 6.9 MPG from my 400 ISL and a increase of almost 1 more mile per gallon might be worth looking into. Thanks

jcsb, Welcome to the Forum. Maybe it is just me but I feel that Car manufactures deliberately do thing to discourage towing. That being said I have always gone by smell and not color of transmission fluid. If you have ever smelt burnt tans. fluid you will never forget it. While on the subject has anyone ever thought why they don't put an external filter on transmissions? It could be changes every time you change your oil and they could sell a lot more Filters and Fluid (but a lot less transmissions). Just a thought from the cheap seats.

Ron, one thing to calculate is return on investment. If the chip will increase milage from your 7.0 MPG to say & 7.1MPG, how long will that increase take to pay for itself? Just a thought. What Brett will tell you on Cats, you can take to the Bank.

Ron, Welcome to the Forum. Any one in Garfield, Minnesota. Probaly not at this time of year. To look at diesel pushers try www.mrolivers.com He is in Texas but has some really nice coaches and presents them well on his web site. Another dealer is some very fine coaches is Motor Homes of Texas. www.motorhomesoftexas.com And Texas is almost as close as Minnesota

Brett, do they make a additive or fuel conditioner like Sta-Bil that will help remove the water as in Gasoline?

acorn, Welcome to the Forum. You can find cargo carrier you are looking for at several places at a reasonable price. Try Tractor Supply, Harbor Freight, or Northern Tool. Also try WalMart.

Dean, As Brett has said, "Welcome to the Forum". Motor Homes and 5th wheels are very Biblical "Seek and You Will Find". So, keep looking. The cut off switch is there somewhere. On my Monaco there are two switches, one for the house and one for the chassis, in my battery compartment on the wall to the left of the batteries. Your Dads may only have one. Chuck gave a good description of the switches, round-red-off/on-silver(aluminum) handle. The previous owner may have turned them off. Have you been able to contact them? And do contact Monaco Tech., nice folks and a lot of help.

Jim, does your friend's Dynasty have a tag axle? If so that will make his coach handle better then yours. However if he purchased it pre-owned, the previous owner may have had the axle/wheels weighed and adjusted the suspension for better handling. As Brett said, start with weighing each wheel. Check your tires mfg. chart for proper pressure. Check the tires for uneven wear and or cupping. If while driving you have to correct the steering all the time you may need alignment. Hope you a able to solve your ride and steering problems and can enjoy RVing.

GaryJo Welcome to the Forum. Hind sight is 20/20. I am not trying to be cute, but unless you really needed the Van it would have been nice to investigate before making your purchase. Remco makes a very good drive shaft disconnect, for rear wheel drives. That being said your Van is front wheel drive with CV joints and would require two disconnects. I am not sure how those disconnects engage and disengage. Since you have gone to the expense of tow bar and base plates I would investigate Remco's Pump or Front Wheel Disconnects. If they don't recommend them it looks as if you might have to check out a dolly. If you have to go with a dolly you might try to sell what you have already purchased on "craigs list". I hope you are able to solve this with as little expense as possible.

Try www.carefreeofcolorado.com They should be able to get your part.

There has been talk about converting old oil from fast food joints to run as diesel and how the exhaust smell like French Fries. Do I need to say any more.

You are correct. And if you check, some of them are affiliated with a store your already have a card with and that they honor the same card. I don't know if a lot know about some of the other discounts out there. For example IHOP gives a 10% discount for Seniors, but if you are a veteran they will give a 20% discount. Maybe not all locations, since they are franchises, but most do. Be sure and ask for your veterans discounts at Lowes and Home Depot. It doesn't hurt to ask. Happy Rving and shopping.

We have the AquaHot unit. When I last had ours serviced it was low on coolant. The coolant is a mixture of 50% H2O and Boiler Anti Freeze. The tech also changed out the injector. There is a valve for each zone on the coach. They each have their own solenoid valve. The valves stick sometime after not being used through the warmer weather. The tech showed me how to tap (Lightly) each valve with a small hammer. This will unstick the valve and it should work all winter after that. Hope my experience helps.

Kroger. They have one nice benifit. For each dollar you spend you get a point. For each one hundred point you have in a month, the next month you receive $.10 off for each gallon you purchase at a Kroger Station. If you are a really, really big spender you can get $1.00 off per gallon. I beleive it is limited to a certain amout of fuel. You do have to have a Kroger Card (free) and have to have it scaned each time you buy Groceries. You also receive a senior discount of 10% off all Kroger brand Items.

To all three of you gentlemen, Welcome to the Forum. I had the Steer-Safe install (Camping World Denton, TX) on my 32' DP and didn't see much difference then without it. However I did loosen all the bolts, install longer eye bolts and move the base plate out more. I then used the longer eye bolts to apply more tension to the springs and at that point I saw a difference. While traveling through Deming, NM I stopped at the Factory and they(very nicely) threw a hissy fit. They did however rebuild my unit at no charge. They replaced the eye bolts I had installed with their own. I didn't see them move the plates back. After they replaced the bolts the coach drove just as well as it did after I made my changes. Steer-Safe people are very nice people to work with. Good Luck on your choice.
