Did the new fuse blow? Have you checked for 12 VDC on both sides of the fuse?

w6pea, Welcome to the FMCA Forum. You do have another post with the same title here on the FMCA Forum. But there is no content?? It is still out there-- I will probably delete the one with no content tomorrow, but wanted you to be able to see it first. Sorry, don't know what happened.

Agree, brake fluid (hydraulic brakes) needs to be changed! New brake fluid boils around 500 degrees F. As it absorbs water to protect the iron components of the brake system, the boiling point drops down to 286 degrees F (that is what is on the brake fluid can for hydrated fluid). BIG DIFFERENCE. This is a real safety issue, particularly if driving in the mountains.

launchrc, Welcome to the FMCA Forum. What coach do you have? What roof material? Leaks or damage to the roof?

For those of you wanting to do fluid analysis (I recommend it) I just ran into this discount for FMCA Members: http://www.jglubricantservices.com/ Discount Code: FMCA Discount Amount: 10% off applicable test kits (see below) Discounted Items: JGOA24 Advanced Oil Analysis Kit (3-pack) Note: Advanced testing protocol gives the best overall value and can be used for engine oil, transmission fluid, differential gear oil and hydraulic fluid. JGCA21 Coolant Analysis Kit (singles)

Actually three options, again depending on vehicle: 1. Flat tow 2. Tow dolly 3. Trailer And that is basically their order from least to most hassle.

You don't need to do anything, other than making sure there is some water in the black tank before using the toilet and that both dump valves/blade valves are CLOSED.

A good explanation of what happened: http://community.fmca.com/topic/10744-why-the-fmca-forum-was-down-so-long/

Really not clear. His statement about shore power begins with "If I connect it to a shore power source....... So, yes, I ASSUMED that it was not plugged in when the batteries deeply discharged. Certainly could have made the wrong assumption.

Since you do have shore power available, I would NOT jump start it. Hard on alternator to make it charge two large deeply discharged batteries. Better, plug in. If your battery voltage is too low, many built in chargers will NOT begin to charge. If that happens, just put a small charger (I have an old 6 amp Sears charger for that) on the house battery until the on-board charger can take over. As Carl said, on some makes, the on-board charger only charges the house bank, not chassis bank. Do not know how yours is wired. If the chassis batteries are not charged by the on-board charger, use that small plug-in charger to bring them up. Sure, if you have to leave right now, jump it, but if you have time, do it the "more gentle" way.

#1 cause of low performance in a modern diesel is fuel restriction. So the first "solution" (and the least expensive) is to change the fuel filters. BTW, with a modern diesel, lack of boost often does NOT mean smoke. The engine ECM factors in boost pressure and de-rates fuel delivery if boost is low.

I agree, correcting an "egg shaped" tire certainly improves ride quality. But, truing tires is becoming a lost ART. Said another way, it is not a job for a guy with one hour's training!

Yes, welcome to the FMCA Forum. Have you checked the fuse (12 VDC) generally in the front fuse block?

Use the tire chart for your new tires to determine the MINIMUM PSI. Most of us add 5-10 PSI as a safety margin.

Suspect the Onan 5.5 (I thought that model Safari came with a 6.5/6.3 propane Onan???) does not have two hots giving 240 VAC between them. Just two separate 120 circuits. If so, hot to hot SHOULD read 0. I am not familiar with the 5.5, so someone please correct me if this is not correct.

Bill, if I am reading this correctly, I see no problem with what you did here. Though you brought in the two neutrals instead of just one, at the main breaker box, the two neutrals should be on the same neutral buss bar. So, basically the second neutral is redundant. Same for ground-- both should be "joined" on the ground buss bar in the main breaker box.

Puzzling. Obviously, it is not tripping the on-generator breakers, since they are manual reset only. IF, repeat IF you are safe working around 120 VAC, open the ATS. Next time this happens, check for voltage IN from the generator and voltage OUT to the main breaker box.

See if there is power to the roof A/C's. They are NOT supplied through the inverter. That will tell you if power is reaching the 120 VAC main breaker box.

Freightliner, Gaffney would be who I would contact/forward a copy of this picture.

Can't imagine you would want "all terrain" tires on a motorhome.

More important than brand is to insure that the circumference is extremely close if in a dual installation. Pairing a "short" and "tall" tire means the majority of the load is on only one tire. BAD!

I like front tires/wheels within .035". Rears within .050". Said another way (the way a tire dealer would address it: less than that amount of RUN-OUT).

Carl, The Walmart 2 miles from the coach storage facility recycles oil. Buy the oil there, return the used oil there. Even in the same gallon containers/cases.
