  1. NEVER YOUR OWN? How about the wifes? Brett, have you ever tryed the aerisol spray cleaner that HVAC tech use on the condensers? I have used it at home and following the instructions the dirt just flows away with water pressure. I didn't see any problem with the paint of the unit. I would say to go to a car wash and use the engine cleaner and soapy water, but not the high pressure. Your thoughts.
  2. Leo, Welcome to the Forum. Your generator is a splash lube unit. That means that there is no oil pump or oil filter. If your unit is low on oil it will over heat and the over heat sensor will kill your engine until is cools off. Check you oil. With 160hrs on the unit it is time for an oil change. Good luck.
  3. Before you add hydraulic jack oil check with yout mfg. Most all use Dextron Automatinc Transmission Fluid. Please do not add anything untill you check with the Mfg.
  4. Welcome to the Forum. You have two solenoid valves on your coach. One for the front air bags and one for the rear. If when you press the dump button you should hear the air releasing and the coach to slowly lower. If only the front goes down then you can have several problems. 1) a bad solenoid. 2) a blown fuse for the valve. and 3) the one I had. Dirt dobbers nest in the valve. Hope these help.
  5. Brett Brett, Hwy 7 in AR is one of the most beautiful in AR. One really nice thing is that you can check on your toad just by looking out the side window and not the mirror. Isn't Jasper a net little town? You are making me want to take the drive.
  6. I really love to see all of these answers. It goes back to the old saying "Mine is Bigger then yours". It is quit clear that this great country has some awsome BBQ places. And not every one agrees on which is best. Taste, location, decor, people, menu, and on and on. These answers have given me alot of places to try on our travels. Thanks to all, But Mine IS bigger then yours. HAPPY RVING!
  7. Ron, Welcome to the Forum. I have a 2002 Dynasty with tag axle. My Mfg. tag indicates that I should have 90 psi front and 95 psi in the rear. Mine may be lower due to the tag axle. But I do get a very smooth ride. As for you not being able to dump, I had the same problem with my Windsor. My RV tech concluded that I needed to replace both solenoid valves. I bought the valves and when I removed to old valves if found that both were stopped up with dirt dobber nest. I cleaned the outlet and wala I was able to dump my air. I then put small air filter on the valves to prevent future problems. Oh I did return the $85.00 valves. From you drivers seat can you raise your coach? If not then it might be that your air bags are full and not being able to dump gives you a hard ride. These are just thoughts, but an RV tech could help.
  8. Brett, In April of 2012 Lone Star Chapter of FMCA will have our 45th anniversary. We Will be in Canton, TX at the Civic Center. April 19-20-21, 2012. We would love to have you and your bride attend. If you would like to attend, put it on your schedule and I will remind later.

    Tire Blowout Today

    Wayne I just saw your post from June. Sorry for your problems and happy that all is well and no damage was done to your coach. You said that you are going to change both tires. Since these are rear tires and are drive tires is it wise to only change two tires on one side and not the other side as well? My thought is wear. It may seem to be very little but you could have tires of different dia. on the defferential. Just my thought, Maybe the gentleman (sorry I can't remember his name)that is a retired tire design eng. might have a thought on that. Again glad you'll are safe.
  10. Ronnie, as Brett said welcome to the Forum. There are several other concerns I might have other then the generator. How about Fresh Water? What is your capacity and how long will it last for your needs? How about holding tanks? What are their capacities? Putting it all together and 30 hours might be enough before you have to go dump, get water and fuel. All the thoughts of getting a additional tank installed, separate stand alone tank, changing out your propane tank for a much larger one (enough room?) to changing to the generator for a diesel (very costly, 5 to 6 thousand of dollars and again space) might be too costly. If your coach was plumbed for a diesel generator your fuel line is set for 1/4 tank so as not to empty your tank. If is wasn't plumbed you will have to tap into a fuel line and then not have that safety factor. With all these factor out there I think you have a lot to think about before you spend a lot of money. Go have fun, you and always got replenish when needed.
  11. Mario, let me be the first to welcome you to the Forum. The 2 inches longer will have no effect on your slide. What you might look at is how much space is between the wall and the end of the mattress. If when the slide in in and you have several inches of space you should be OK. Just my opinion but even if you old mattress touches the replacement mattress being 2 inches longer won't matter it will only compress the mattress a little.
  12. Welcome the Forum. If you have had your slide both out and in and you have no marks on the laminate, you should be ok. As you go down the road have someone look at the bottom of the slide and look for too much bounce. If you see some you might want to adjust a little, but if there isn't too much bounce you should again be OK.
  13. Born and raised in TEXAS. Had BBQ lots of places. Hard to say which was the best because they all had something better the the others. The one place that I have never been to is The Salt Lick near Austin, TX. Heard about it for more year then I will mention. Some one tell me if they have been there and how was it.
  14. You might check with your insurance carrier. I have beem told that some Companys will not pay if you do not have a braking system. Also as said, there have been cases where a person ran a stop light injured people and totaled cars and they didn't have to pay a cent because the injured parties inspection sticker was out expired. Because they would not have been on the road to be hit if they had followed the law and not driven on an expired inspection. Picky but true.
  15. Ward I started a post sometime back on just that subject. Go to Forum-General Discussion-A funny thing happend on the way to the Forum. See if you can top mine, the first post.
  16. Oh come on, wer'e all friends. Let us hear it.
  17. Try Brite White Tire Cleaner. Be careful with over spray. Let stand for 4 or 5 min. then wash with soapy water and a stiff brush, then rinse with clean water. If it doesn't clean complety the first time dry and repeat. This stuff will clean the really dirty tires so it should work on your gasket. You can get it at WalMart or Auto Zone. For a stiff brush may I suggest that you don't use your wifes toothbrush.
  18. Koot, Welcome to the Forum. Take a look and see if you have kill switch in your battery compartment. It should be a Red Round selector switch. When washing out your Bat. compt. you may have gotten water in the switch or you may have just switched it off while cleaning. I know you have looked but could someone have tripped the Battery Switch in the front entrance of your coach? Are you a member of any road side assiatance groups? If so they may have a tech to talk to. Good Luck.
  19. Bill, that was what I was talking about. I didn' know if it was a plan or just a feature. Thanks
  20. Welcome to the Forum. Call Dish and ask if they have a plan where you can get the local, ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox.I heard they have such a plan. You can pick either East Coast or West Coast. Check it out and let the Forum know.
  21. Go to FMCA home page, under quick link click on dingy towing. You can find a list for current models. There are articles for 2000 to 2011. Check it out for something to tow.
  22. Bobbyks, Welcome to the forum. In southern Louisiana you need to look up the Cruzin Cajens RV Club. Good strong club that has a lot of fun. You didn't say how you are charging you batteries, Inverter or trickle charger. How old are your batteries? If your batteries are in good shape then it would seem that your charging system is just charging and not monitoring your Batteries. You may get a response from Brett, who has a lot of experience in these matters. When you find your answer be sure to post the solution so others may benefit. Again, welcome to FMCA and the Forum.
  23. Brad, Welcome to the forum. Seeing that you are from Longview I thought I would take this oppertunity to invite you'll to join The Lone Star Chapter of FMCA at one of our up coming Rallies. Due to the opressive heat in Texas we don't have any rallies in the summer. Our next rally is in Durant, OK at the KOA at the Choctaw Casino. We would love to have you come.

  24. Tom, Lone Star has a rally scheduled for May 24-25-26 & 27th, 2012 in rockport at Lagon RV Resort. One of our smaller rallies but lots of fun. Open invite.
