Welcome to the forum Gary. What we need is more information. what make and year of coach. What your brother needs is some one smart enough to clean all the DEF out of his fuel system and not just the tank. This will require (as Joe said) a complete tear down of the fuel system and repair/replacement of damaged parts. If you don't do this cleaning the fuel tank is a waste of money. Bill

Welcome to the forum. I had a diesel generator that was doing just that. It was traced to silica crystals precipitating out of the coolant. They had used the wrong coolant. This was during my final PDI and the dealer had to replace the radiator. I recommend using only low silica antifreeze. Bill

Welcome to FMCA and welcome to the FMCA Forum. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Help us out, what generator do you have, Gas or Diesel? If you put your coach and other information in your signature it will help to get good answers. See my signature as an example. You should have a owners manual in your big bag of documentation. However as a short cut I will recommend what I have ben using with excellent results. For my diesel generator I use Shell Rotella T-6 5-40. The same oil I use in the main engine. When I had a gas generator I used Mobil 1 15-50 full synthetic. Now with some of the newer oil's I would run the 0-40 or the 5-50 because it flows better when cold and protects better. Let us know what you find out. Bill

Isn't that the truth. Bill

Keon, I have had people say they would pay not to ride with me. Bill

It (the exhaust) would be hot enough to burn you if you touch it. You probably won't see a flame unless there is a window to the heat exchanger. Look and see if there are other heat vents and that air is coming out. Hopfualey hot air. Bill
-
Who knows with out better information we are just guessing. Could be the duck's are not connected. If the exhaust is blowing hot then it is going some ware maybe the basement or up behind the refrigerator. Bill
-
I bet it is the air ducts, either blocked or kinked not letting the air to flow freely. Bill

Michelin Advantage Tire Program-- Need Tire Recommendation
wildebill308 replied to f207364's topic in Tires
I got tired of trying to figure out all the variables on the Michelin program and went with the Continentals and saved more money. Bill -
Rich, I can't find one listed either. However in the pictures there appears to be a cold air return under the refrigerator and a hot air duct under the oven. I would be calling Forest River for more information. Nice looking coach 2010lexingtongts. One more thought, make sure your thermostat is on "gas heat". Bill

That is a nice coach. I hope you were able to get the new 6 speed transmission. The V10 is a great engine but it is designed to make it's power at higher RPM so some are concerned that it is revving to much. Don't worry it has a built in RPM limiter so if you wanted you could drive it with your foot on the floor and not hurt the engine. I would keep my RPM up when climbing to stay closer to peak torque. The newer coaches are doing a better job of insulating the front to reduce engine noise. Bill

This isn't something I would try to stock pile. At an average of 50 deg. it has a 36 month shelf life but it drops to 6 month's at 95 deg. This includes what is in the tank on the coach. If you have temps over 100 it drops to just 2 months shelf life. I would be carful about how much is in the tank in the summer time in the south west so it doesn't go bad. I got this from a Ford memo to all Ford Lincoln dealers dated November 7, 2013. Lets hope the info Jim posted is more current. Bill

Why not call Blue Ox and ask them? http://www.blueox.com/ They had a crew at Chandler this spring doing maintence/repairs on tow bars. I didn't ask about installations. Let us know what you find out. Bill

City Water Also Fills Fresh Water Tank
wildebill308 replied to 53rambler's topic in Water and Holding Tanks
Blake, I suspect that a lot of the problems with the "city" water filling the tank can be traced back to hi water pressure. I always turn on the water to blow out the hose and any rusty water/sediment in the line before hooking up. If you read the fine print in your rental agreement they all require you to have a water regulator before hooking up. Bill -
Welcome to the FMCA Forum. The "I get cool air for a few minutes" part is normal as Brett said it has to go through a purge cycle before it will light the burner. It should blow hot air after that. I would check the things Brett mentioned and make sure the vents/cold air return are open and not blocked and let us know what you find. Bill

Removing Old Graphics/Painting New Graphics
wildebill308 replied to rfsod48's topic in General Discussion
No I haven't, I am more inclined to put that money in a fund for possible upgrade. As RSBILLEDWARDS says check with the different RV salvage yards for a replacement. There is a company that advertises in the FMCA magazine that makes covers for the dash if it is the vinyl on top that is detreating. Bill
