  1. Welcome to the forum. Help me out with some more information. When you say "I have tried to unplug the refrig from the coach and plug it into a extension cord and it still trips the gfci." did you unplug both the cords behind the refrig? 30 amp is fine for this. Bill
  2. First of all this post is from August 23, 2019. Don't know who the OP was dealing with. Ofcorse the dealer who is selling on consinmet wants him to drop his price, the sooner it sells the sooner he gits his money. For the record I just sold one of my spare diesel pushers at PPL Motorhomes. I got the price I wanted and they got their commision. Right now is a good time to sell. Bill
  3. I just posted on a similar question. Read it and let me know if you have any questions. https://community.fmca.com/topic/15762-steep-hills-pac-brake/ Bill
  4. I had a similar set up on my last coach and I have driven most of those hills including the Grapvine several times. My technique would be to slow before you head down. Some hills require trucks to slow to 30 mph. I usually start around 45-50 (or the speed and gear I came up in) and let it down shift to 4th gear. If it wants to speed up you can use the service breaks to slow it down by braking fairly hard then releasing the brakes once you have slowed to the speed and rpm you want to maintain so they don't overheat. If it wants to pick up speed you can always slow till it drops in to 3rd gear. I could go down a 35 degree hill and it wouldn't pick up the pace once I hit 3 ed gear. I would have to give it throttle to keep it from slowing more than needed. Bill
  5. Let us know if it is still good. Last time I was in that area we stayed over at Heartland RV Park & Cabins. Rapid City, South Dakota has a lot of intersting things to see. Look for The City of Presidents Walk. They have statues of the Presidents on each street corner. Bill
  6. Quit goofing off, just put some bondo on it and get him out on the road. Bill
  7. Where are you located? I would start trying to sell some of your excess inventory now. RV sales look to be at a real high. When looking for lights try googling the numbers cast into the lense to see what they came from. Bill
  8. Welcome to the forum. There was some one not to long ago who had that problem. Most of the cost is labor, you can save some money doing it yourself. https://www.google.com/search?q=removing+diamond+shield+film&rlz=1C1GGGE_enUS621US621&oq=removing+dimond+shield&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j0l3.18960j1j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#kpvalbx=_GYjZXvrTB5HNtQaOuabABQ32 As you read above I haven't had that problem yet. I would try to find out what chemical they are using. You might be able to get it cheaper. Bill
  9. Welcome to the forum. What is your tire size and what load range? Bill
  10. Lookes like a better job than "factory" they don't bother treating or priming and painting. That is why a simple leak is so deevestating. Bill
  11. Well hope the OP comes back and moves on it quickly before it is gone. The whole market is so hot right now. As a example I was at NIRVC today and they told be they had sold 50 RVs last month. That is pretty amazing. Bill
  12. So what kind of shag carpet are you going to put in to cover up those wood floors? Bill
  13. Welcome to the forum. I would add NATIONAL INDOOR RV CENTERS. They have a store in Phoenix. I would call and see what they have or what may be coming in but not on the website yet. Newmar makes a realey nice handicap accessible coach. To get what you want you might be better off ordering one to get exactly what you want. The other problem is they are a limited production model so there aren't many out there. With the current market I would move as fast as possible before all the production slots for the year are sold. https://www.nirvc.com/ Let us know what you find out. Bill
  14. I would second that. I had one rupture on a old 1978 Executive I had and when I lit the stove I had flames up inside the vent a hood. Plenty of excitment. Bill
  15. You had 2 inspectors look at the coach and you knew Tiffin had a problem in that area and you still missed it? Bill
  16. Sherry/Ken, welcome to the forum. All I can say after looking at the whole thing is it's not for me. I have never seen one in use on the road in any campground or at any rally. I will stick to my CR-V 4 down. Bill
  17. Did he ask to have the unit hooked up to shore power, water or run the generator? Kind of interesting because I just sold a RV through the Cleburne branch of PPL. I was required to deliver the coach there with a full fuel tank and over 1/2 water so the systems could be checked. I know they moved several trailers without generators to where they could be hooked up to be tested by people. Brett they do a complete make ready and check everything. They make shure everything is serviceable. This is on the sellers dime. I have to be somewhat suspicious of the refrigerator story. They don't mind spending money especially because it doesn't come out of their pocket. I am surprised they didn't just replace the refrigerator. Bill
  18. Chris, welcome to the forum. Where are you? It might help if you re read the whole thread. Things can look bad but you may be able to travel latter. Bill
  19. The Kenmore ice maker M1 SA8868 is manufactured by Frigidaire for use in Kenmore refrigerators and others. The equivalent Frigidaire part number is 241798224. Look on Amazon. Bill
  20. Welcome to the forum. I don't see a problem as long as you are replacing the duells in pairs. The Toyos are 0.3 wider and 0.3 taller. Not enough to be worried about. There will be someone by all worried about duell spacing but I bet you could find more variation between tires than that. Let us know how it goes. Bill
  21. When you need to know, use a helium leak detector. https://heliumleakdetection.net/what-is-helium-leak-detection/ I use to have one at work. The OP may be lucky as the stuff he used has a sealer in it and it might fix the problem for the season. Bill
  22. Welcome to the forum. I would do a serch on Youtube, there must be a dozen reviews of systems. Bill
  23. Rick Tague, welcome to the forum. I added the extra part to my original batwing and it worked great. You can get it from Amazon for$30.00 just do a search Winegard Wingman RV-Wing HD Upgrade Antenna. Bill
