No, O.. L... 7...0 is NOT a diagnostic code. It is for checking oil level and the 70 means that oil is not up to operating temperature. To access diagnostic codes, push the up and down arrows AGAIN. That will bring up d-1 and any diagnostic codes.

We use them on our boats for a number of reasons: They can't spill They don't outgas (unless severely overcharged) No sulfuric acid fumes. No maintenance. Lifeline AGM batteries came as standard equipment in our 1995 Pacific Seacraft Crealock 37'. Been using them ever since.

That is the same route (60/70/I-10) we took last time back from Phoenix to Texas and plan to use again after the Chandler Convention. No problem, but like Carl said some moderate technical driving just east of Phoenix. A few miles shorter, a little longer time wise than I-10 all the way. Our kind of cross country route.

That is a good recommendation, but one CAN shift directly. Just not as easy on the transmission.
-
Certainly a start capacitor is a relatively inexpensive and easy to replace part that could/would cause high amp start up loads. Be sure you discharge the capacitor before working on it!
-
The higher the load, the more fuel demanded. So collapsed fuel line, etc should show up more. And, if a leak on the suction side allowing air in, the more fuel demanded, the more "vacuum" to pull in air. And, while not absolutely a "fuel issue", if the carburetor is gummed up, it may not give the proper mixture at high throttle settings-- depends on what is gummed up. Same basic issues can happen with the main engine.

Correct, you do not have the pre-filter on the frame rail.
-
Strats, Please modify your signature to reflect what coach you have. And, certainly, if you have contaminated fuel, a new filter can clog very quickly. Also, let us know what year your chassis is and whether it is a Freightliner. It is common on Freightliner chassis with the ISB to have a THIRD fuel filter on the frame rail, forward of the two filters you see.

Excellent job. Congratulations.
-
Cute, But, please keep in mind that many are viewing on small screens and light colors are very hard to see.

Ya, this thread has really grown some legs. A long way from sanitizing water tank to the culinary discussion. But, heck, ya'll are having so much fun, I hate to shut it down. Of course, you could start a new topic under "General Discussion"!

Brand New Unit: Found Crack In Roof Day After Delivery
wolfe10 replied to djanderson's topic in Type A motorhomes
Do whatever you are going to do IMMEDIATELY. It often takes a dealer a couple of days to process the paperwork to register a vehicle. If it has not been registered, it would be a LOT easier to undo the transaction. I would discuss just this with the owner or General Manager of the dealership TODAY. -
Was not aware that there was even a sensor for EGT on a 2003 ISB.
-
You might also run some Seaform through it, might clean out the carb.
-
Were it me, I would continue on down the road. One A/C should get you by until you get to a qualified/Onan authorized repair facility. In fact, I would start by calling Onan, discuss your route and ask for their input on where to stop for diagnosis and possibly repair. Yes, it could be serious, but could also be something inexpensive that is keeping the engine from putting out full power-- clogged air or fuel filter, varnish in the carb, valves out of adjustment, etc.

Did he downsize total amp-hrs? One 8D 12 VDC is very close to the same capacity as two "golf cart" 6 VDC batteries in series. So, he could have kept the same capacity or he could have downsized.

Look at your Allison shift pad (assuming this is a diesel coach with Allison 3000 transmission). Does it illuminate as it should when you turn the key? Turn on the dash HVAC fan which I assume only runs with the key on. Does it function each time you turn the key or only when the engine tries to start. If these things are not happening as they should, the IGNITION SOLENOID or switch itself may be the culprit. If these things work, then, yes look further back in the coach. If you determine that either the ignition solenoid or ignition switch may be bad, let us know and we can walk you though troubleshooting and also emergency "work arounds".

Carl, Yes, RVSEF will be in booth 227 to sign up for weighing. I don't know how many teams they will have there. Might give them a call. RVSEF: (321) 453-7673 BTW, here is their scheduled weighing events: http://www.rvsafety.com/weighing/weighing-schedule

Contact these guys with the brand of camera/system you have: http://www.rvcams.com/ If the part is something that came with the camera, they can help. If unique to your coach, post a picture of what you have and perhaps someone else can help.

Invisibrake - Pump Toad Brake Pedal

Phil, Stop by and meet other FMCA Forum members in Chandler: Forum Meet & Greet – Wednesday, 3/ 8 4:45 p.m. - 5:45 p.m. Seminar 2 -
Dave, A complete drop in PSI over 24-36 hours very likely IS within DOT specs. But, that doesn't make it right. I disagree that air leaks of that magnitude would be very difficult to trace. Kiddie bubbles on air fittings between tank, ride height valves and bags and bags themselves should reveal the culprit(s). As long as you have safety stands, this is well within those with even basic mechanical skill. Freightliner should be able to send you a schematic of the air system. But, I would start by contacting your local Freightliner dealer to see if they will look at it under warranty.

Blake, There is no standard "here is how all are plumbed". A two way valve works just fine: Position 1= tank fill Position 2= connected to house water line on the house side of water pump
