  1. Have you tested the switch, try with the switch off with the wire disconnected from the switch. and with it held down off you should get 0 through it held down should be 12V. Bill
  2. You might as well get use to it and plan ahead because the trend is to do away with cashiers at toll plazas and go with electronic toll collection. Anyone that does any planning will know where the toll roads are. I have ben in 14 states in the last 30 days including all of New England. I much prefer the new open lanes where you don't have to stop at a toll booth. Bill
  3. Nice coach, I like the paint. Carl I agree I would like the "New Home" wider but I bet there is room for the Newel. Bill
  4. I would think $40,000 would be on the hi side. PPL has a 2003 for $40,000. Low milage may not be a good thing in this case. I bet the tires are original with great tread. By the way bbrigham, welcome to the forum. I don't want to rain on your find. It could be great but it could cost you more than if you bought a newer coach (not new) that had been taken care of. The BIG question is can you do some of the work yourself, maintenance and repairs/upgrades? If so you might make out. When negotiating keep in mind a new set of shoes is going to be in the $3300 range. I just replaced my tires using the Continental program. Keep us updated.
  5. Well Lemp, we don't know what coach you have or what refrigerator. It would be nice if you put the information on your coach in your profile and in your signature. Now if you have a dual power source (propane or electric) and you have a icemaker You have a receptacle behind the refrigerator with a circuit from the inverter. One plug just pases 110 if it is avalible the outher provides 110 for the icemaker when you are using the propane power source. But you are right most times the inverter is not used to power the refrigerator. However I am using the inverter plug to power my residential refrigerator all the time. Bill
  6. Yes and give us a report when you get back. Bill
  7. Merv, Help me out here, Your battery boost solenoid should have 4 wires going to it. one each about O gage from each battery bank then 2 about 10-12 gage wires to the control post. Where are you getting the 6V reading? What do you mean at both ends of the wire? Bill
  8. Nothing wrong with the Shell Rotella 15w-40. I think it is better than some of the other 15-40 oils out there. I have been using Shell Rotella T6 5w-40 in both the coach and generator. Bill
  9. I do know on my coach I have to use the front jacks enough to allow the body to move. The rear jacks can be lowered individually but the front jacks are on one button. So you move the front up off the stops and use the rear jacks to level side to side. I have read some where in my documentation that not doing it this way can cause body twisting. Bill
  10. You might look here. http://www.rvstainless.com/Home/tabid/36/Default.aspx Bill
  11. Did you happen to take the mount off the block? Could it be turned 180 from original position? Bill
  12. The OP stated he was replacing his current Michelin size which is 275/80R 22.5 with Continental 275/80R 22.5 so I don’t see all the concern for spacing. He had LOOKED at 295's I went from 255 to a 275 and do not see any problem. I have not measured the gap between the tires but I believe it won’t be a problem. I can’t forsee anything but a flat that would let the tiers touch ”kiss”. Bill
  13. North to I-90E. You could stay at the Niagara Falls / Grand Island KOA Holiday. Take your passport as you want to go to the Canadian side. Bill
  14. Sorry for the problem. Please explain how FMCA or Good Sam recommend this shop to you? Bill
  15. Yes it is great of you to open up some parking spaces. Have you had any takers yet? Bill
  16. What model Bounder? Do you still have the original refrigerator? There is no electrical going to the gas stove. Have you run/used the the convection oven? Bill
  17. Ok back to the drawing board. Look at some of the other videos on Youtube there are some home made track bars and there are other manufactures of them. I still would look at changing the bushings to Polyurethane as they are harder and help with the sway. Bill
  18. Sean, take a look at this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oznq4EC9VHA One other mod that I think gives the best bang for the buck to improve handling is a rear track bar. http://www.blueox.com/chassis-performance/tigertrak-track-bars/ Bill
  19. Have you had an all wheel alignment done? Have you checked the bushings in your sway bar? Is it a Ford chassis? What have you tried so far to fix this problem? Bill
  20. They make a good shock. What exactly is the handling problem you are trying to correct? Bill
  21. Ok this is a big guess but I remember reading about some hot water heaters having a check valve. This could be plugged/stuck. I can't find a drawing but I would bet it is on the "Hot" outlet from the tank. Bill
  22. I would never put it on my coach. It doesn't last and is hard to remove/replace. I think it is something that soundes good but doesn't realey do that much. Well that is my observation and opinion. Bill
  23. Carl, a gen-turi is an extension for the generator exhaust to direct it up above the coach. I don't know if it would work on the AH exhaust but I don't see why not as it is just a exhaust pipe and it has a gap at the bottom so there should be no excessive back preshure. Bill
  24. Make shure the bypass valve is moving all the way. I once had a problem where the slot in the lever was rounded out and didn't move the valve body all the way. Bill
