Sounds like your 40 year tech is stumped with the problem and is going to throw parts at it in the hopes of fixing it.

Most states lemon laws do not cover the "box" only the chassis. I would try to negotiate with the factory for a new unit at a deep discounted price. What you have is fixable but you are loosing time to use it and depreciation is still going on.

Here is what is not covered in the Assist program. Take time to read what is offered in the Assist program and not go from what someone tells you.

Herman Mullins is the newly elected National Vice President of the South Central Area. His installation will be in Gillette

The DW has been planning and plotting our round trip to Gillette and got sticker shock when making reservations. What was $35 last trip is now $75 and some are pushing over $80. Guess they are trying to make up for last year

My suggestion to both of you is to contact the CEO, Chris Smith

Reverse the power leads to the bulb that is dim

I for sure would not remove a windshield. It could be broken on reinstall costing a few more bucks. If the doors are removed from a RF18 or 197, they can go in thru a window if the entire window, frame and all are removed. Much easier to seal up than a windshield. If worried about power usage, the refer can be turned off at night. We have gone almost two days without power to the refer because of a faulty transfer switch. Everythig was still frozen and the refer portion was still within safe temp limits

I sent your post to a friend that is a Cat guy. His reply is not encouraging. His reply. "Well it could be injectors, broken oil rings, kind of a throw away motor because it doesn't have piston liners. Could be oil pump idle gear bad. Could be the HEUI pump system. Turbo could be bad dumping oil into the exhaust, just hard to say".

Scott, If you have the smaller entry door like that of the Intrigue, a Samsung will not go thru the door. I had to remove all the doors off the refer and bring it in thru the window over the couch in the slide. The window, frame and all had to be removed but no issues doing so.

The DEF junk came in on the '07 models.You might could find a later model that the chassis was purchased by the manufacturer before '07 and avoid the DEF. If it was my coach, I would keep it and figure out the wiring problem but I would not go for a band-aid fix of running new wiring for a "Joe Mudflaps" gauge. Find a shop that is RV experienced and not a truck shop. If you like your coach, keep your coach.

Thermistors usually don't go bad unless they get damaged. Try adjusting before changing it out.

It will be good to see you again Carl. Herman will look real purdy in that blue shirt

Herman has to go so he can show off his new blue shirt

Looks like the troll problem has been fixed or will be fixed today

Ok, just found it. I think it should be a little more visible and not stuck out in right field. Reported posts should go to the Mods and not IT. They are to busy to fool with the forum. That is why they were in favor of paying Wolfe $600 a month to monitor the forum. So far I don't see any problems with the current setup

Herman is correct. The forum was opened up to anyone in the hopes that it would gain FMCA some new members. Maybe it did, probably not. Herman, I suggest that you talk to the powers on high and have them put a button under the names of those posting so that by pushing it, a new window will open so a member can notify a mod and then they can take a look at the questionable post . Could also put a button there so a member could easily send a PM to that particular poster

I used a piece of 1"x 1/8" aluminum long enough to mount the plate to and reach across the ladder rungs. I used some U bolts to attach it to the ladder.

What kind of head liner is it, the old fashioned carpet type or the padded vinyl type? If the vinyl type, the foam backing could be coming apart. I would not think that moisture would be the problem if it is in the middle of the roof

You can install a battery combiner such as this and it will take care of chassis battery charging. Magnum Battery Combiner Or install one of these and accomplish the same thing. Echo Charger My coach came with the Echo charger and it has worked fine for the past 20 years

Dan Ball, FMCA employee, who every once in awhile looked at the forum, no longer works for FMCA. His replacement, Arron White probably has to much on his plate right now to monitor the feedback thread.Give him time to get adjusted

Herman, I grew up in Denison. My parents cooked everything well done. When I got in the Navy we would have a cookout on the fantail. Cooks would start with a case of frozen steaks and throw them on the barbie. When the outside was burnt, they were done. On the plate, the inside had just thawed out so I learned to eat rare steak

12 minutes of cook time?!!!! Good Lord Carl, you burned that poor piece of cow to a crisp

I mentioned Knob Creek as being good but the Woodford Reserve double oaked is at the top of my list. It is so good, I don't even share with friends and I limit myself to 2 fingers a week, neat.
