Glad you had a good time. Thanks for sharing the photoes. Bill

Well waiting for the OP to report back on the fix. Bill

Thor should make the coach work or buy it back. Bill

Welcome to the forum Sharon Gorsch. The first thing is to check the water level in the batteries. Next do some research on your charger / Parallax converter to see if it has a "smart charger". This is a charger that will taper off the charge as it reaches full charge so it doesn't overcharge them. Bill

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but no coach is fun in 40mph+ cross winds. Bill

Carl, it sounded like he has his priorities right. Bill

Finding out there might be problems before you spend the money beats doing it after you have spent the money. Had a friend who found a car he liked and the prices was good so... After he bought it he stoped down the street for gas and the first thing the guy at the station says "I see they unloaded that old taxi on you". Bill

Glad it was something simple. Bill

Goodluck and keep us updated. Bill

Welcome to the forum, When you stepped up you did a good job! Bill

Welcome to the forum. It does sound like a bad start solenoid. Have you cleaned all the contacts/connections including the ground? Have you tried to use the switch to tie the batteries together when trying to start it? Bill

Welcome to the forum. Nice looking rig. Bill

Then why don't they release the test results? All they will say is "it flows more air". Good luck. Bill

I think having Brett go over it with you would be the right thing to do. Bill

You may want to read this about K&N before running one. I use to be a fan but won't use one now. http://www.nicoclub.com/archives/kn-vs-oem-filter.html Your stock filter will flow more air than your engine can ue. But it is up to you if you can afford to rebuild a "dusted" engine. The wiring for the Banks should still be there to hook it up again. Bill

One other thing use some wooden blocks on the roof so you can set the new AC down with out damaging the roof or the new AC. Carl is right it is good to pad the ladder to protect the edge of the roof. Bill

The wife likes slides so I like slides. Bill

Lots of great advice. Here is a suggestion on geting the new one on the roof. I put the new one in the back of my pickup and backed up to the side of the coach. I used a part of an extension ladder as a ramp and just slid the new AC up the ladder to the top of the roof. The new one wasn't that heavy. PLEASE watch out for sharp edges to any metal on the AC they are stamped parts and tend to have supper sharp edges. Bill

Nice looking coach! Bill

I just want to see Carl install that device in the neighbor's cat. He may be able to do a seminar on that. Pet safety is always popular. Bill

Ck-4 is the spec the oil must meet. Here is a good read about the new standards. It looks like they will be using at least a synthetic blend to meet specks. http://rotella.shell.com/products/pc-11.html OEM Specifications and Approvals for Shell ROTELLA® t6 full synthetic heavy duty engine oil API: CK-4, CJ-4, CI-4 PLUS, CI-4, CH-4 ACEA E9; JASO DH-2; Cummins CES 20086; Volvo VDS-4.5; Detroit Fluid Specification (DFS) 93K222, Caterpillar ECF-2/ECF-3, MAN M3575, JASO MA/MA2, Allison TES 439, MB-Approval 228.31 Bill

Don't forget to look at the Continental program. Bill

Depends on the length of the trip and where. Bill

I run and recommend Shell Rotella T-6 I get good oil reports. + they have a $5.00 a gal rebate program, for the first 4 gallons. Bill
