New Water Pump Will Not Prime
wildebill308 replied to jenmacias2015's topic in Systems and Appliances
I think this is one of those things that isn't in the documentation and when you ask the factory they say well everyone knows that. Now I hope that is the problem for the OP. Bill- 18 replies

New Water Pump Will Not Prime
wildebill308 replied to jenmacias2015's topic in Systems and Appliances
Jim, you are right. When I was getting ready for a trip I had put some water in the tank and was going to wash my hands after putting the hose away and the pump would run but no water. I said some unpleasant things before I found the valve in the wrong position. Bill- 18 replies

I think a much better plan is to install a "Extend a Stay" type of adapter and just hook in a extra tank. I wouldn't go over a 40# tank. I had a 60# but it only had one hand hold in the top and was hard to move, yes and it was heavy over 100# full. https://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=extend+a+stay+propane+kit&tag=mh0b-20&index=aps&hvadid=77721773822668&hvqmt=b&hvbmt=bb&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_8hrqmhf2fg_b Bill

"Oh, stop whining, or is that wineing. You can always fill it up...... again." Only if it is a good vintage. Well ok if you insist. Bill -
Mypopslou. you need to take a vacation South. We are going to have a cold front through here with some temps in the upper 20's at night. But if you go down to the Valley they are in the low 80's today. Harlingen, Texas, in the valley is 80 today but will cool to bout 60 tonight. www.intellicast.com/Local/WxMap.aspx?latitude=32.75&longitude=-97.33&zoomLevel=8&opacity=1&basemap=0014&layers=0039 Bill

Next time you have to remove some thing like that a stiff putty knife (about 2") sharpened like a chisel and a heat gun will help. Drive the edge under the bottom layer and let it set with some heat on it. The glue will release. Great job of getting the old plywood out. Bill -
Carl, still closer than when he left Michigan a couple of days ago. You might spend some time finding the rattles and doing a couple upgrades and spent more money on travel. Bill
-
I doubt it is the J hooks. It could be the spring tension in the arms or the wiper blades. You might try a different brand of blade or even a 28" blade it will only be 2" shorter on each end. Bill

I forgot about that noisy shelf. It became standard practice to remove it before travel. I also had a front wheel cover that was a little loose. It would make noise on some bumps till I tightened it up. Roland, you don't need too convince me go buy a new coach. Bill
-
The hi way crew that can install a transition joint on or off bridges and smooth expansion joints should get a raise. Roland, remember you are driving something on a truck chasse not a passenger car. I would go drive several different coaches over rough roads and see if you see a difference. You passed near a good place to do that at Texas Motor Coach in Nacogdoches Texas just north of I-20 above Houston. If you were staying in town there are several around the DFW area. Bill

My 15 year old Bounder 38N is fairly quiet. Some wind noise I haven't figured out yet but not to bad. It took some time finding and fixing all the little things. Rubber shelf lining helps and like Brett said have some one listen and try to isolate what is making noise when going down the road. It could be in the front compartments to. My front access panel for the generator was out of adjustment and needed new rubber ends in the door stops. I would go drive some other rigs and see how they compare. Bill

That is a good idea Herman, I was thinking big auto parts store. Bill

Shenandoah Mountain RV Camping
wildebill308 replied to f004014d's question in Destinations/Attractions
Use the apps I posted to find a place for the coach then use your toad to find "the mountain experience, not the valley." Bill -
Sam, thanks for the added information. I would guess the brakes on your toad are a little tight and cause more drag. Or is there a adjustment on your Invisabrake for adjusting the sensitivity of the unit? Bill
-
Welcome to the forum. With out more information all I can say is OK. Bill
-
The simple fix is to install a "J " hook adapter from Amazon. Bosch 3392390298 Wiper Blade Mounting Kit Or Anco 4817 380""/9.5Mm Strt End Conct - 17" Bill
-
So you are on the road South now. Safe trip to you. Bill

When you get caught in a heavy rain and your wipers aren't doing the job the money you saved buying cheap parts doesn't seam like as good of a deal. Bill

Without more information I would go to PPL.com. They have 24 in universal for $16.73 and heavy duty for blades for as low as $26.29. https://www.pplmotorhomes.com/search?query=24"+wiper+blades Bill

Have you tried replacing the weather striping? Bill

OK call me dense but I am not sure I see the screws. In the second picture did you see where the board that the roller is attached to is pulling away from the top structure? The staples are coming out. Bill -
You are lucky this year you get to burn all that old gas out of the snow blower. I don't fill up with out adding Diesel Kleen. fagnaml , Why do refinery's constantly produce diesel with a lower than recommended Cetane rating? Bill

Once again I don't think you will have a problem. Put it on auto, Load it up and when the internal temps rise the refrigerator should start. The thermostats are on the inside of the box so outside temps should have no effect. You will have the furnace on warming the inside of the coach. Just keep an eye on it and let us know how it does.
