How old is the stove, and has it ever worked correctly?

Hi Rich, I noticed that also, it may very well be in winterize mode, and that valve closed may be the culprit. I am also looking at the supply line valve in the blue line, it appears to be some makeshift valve that goes straight to the pump and also upward and since it seems to feed the pump then upward, I believe that someone has tried to be inventive and create a bypass such as yours. The left side is normally the inlet side of a shureflow pump, which looks that is the brand. I see no sediment filter close to the pump which to me is a bad idea. Maybe with all the many ideas suggested he will get the right combination and all will work well. Hope he comes back to the forum and lets us know what actually fixed the problem.

Rich, your method will work very well, but look at the pump plumbing in the picture, the pump can't pull water from the top of the tank, only way is if the fill tube goes downward inside the tank like a gasoline tank, this may be the case but not likely. Yes Herman, "HERE'S YOUR SIGN". Same here many times.

Trace the pipe that goes back from the tank, it should be plumbed at or near the top op the FW tank, to the fill valve. There should be two pipes leading away from the valve, one to the tank, the other to the fresh water system in the coach, not to the water pump. It looks as if someone has done some plumbing replacement in your picture, and possibly has made some wrong turns. The two way valve pictured seldom give problems, but as Bill suggested make sure the stem of the valve is moving when the lever is repositioned. Also I noticed an odd situated chrome plated valve next to the floor in the blue pex line, try turning this valve on to see if the tank fills. If it does there probably have been some funny engineering at this point.The picture reveals that the pump is incorrectly plumbed also. Good luck hunting, please PM me if you would like some over the Cell phone guidance, Kay.

I know that this seems like a dumb question, but have moved the valve lever to the left so that it is horizontal with earth?

Yep, you won't need any light bulbs that day.

raptor4070, could you possibly attach a photo "up close and personal" of the lever?

Also the fear of E-85 gasoline goes away with a diesel, and 6 months without cranking is not so bad.

Look at the breaker on the box, if it says 30 amp it has one switch, then he is only providing 30 amps. If you choose the 50 amp, again look at the breaker, if one switch (not one with two that are tied together", yes it is 50 at 120 volts, not 100 total amps at 120. This is NOT 50 AMP RV SERVICE. If the the breaker is 50X2, tied together, and there is a 30 amp receptacle, this is not legal, and with a dogbone attached, it is wired for 240, the dogbone will trip his 50 amp breaker. And as Brett said, with no power cord attached to the receptacle, switch off the 30 amp and on the 50, using a voltmeter, check the two wide blades, if reads 110/120, and the narrowest blade to round reads 110/120, and the opposite wide blade reads 0, you can assume that there is 50 amps 120. Not very efficient for the campground owner, and you will be limited to 50 amps total, and also remember that the dogbone is only rated at 30 amps because that is the size of the male adapter. My preference, look for an adequate campground.

Yup. hope it is not a 220/240 amp circuit breaker at home, if it is, it was not the weather conditions.

Been a Passport member for 6 years, the web sites for the park post when can and can not be used. I average saving 300.00 to 500.00 yearly and am not full time.

HayesFamily, as Joe pointed out, a good fuel additive in the gasoline will help, and as stated in other post, do not forget the generator needs to be exercised often, it will be more vulnerable to e-15, most of them including my Honda state not to use more than e-10. Hoping that e-10 is not fading in your area yet, if so come south more often "LOL". Your coach fuel concerns probably is over founded, a 2003 doesn't use those cheap plastic carbureators and parts. Winterize correctly and enjoy the new to you coach.

I have a short flap mounted between the drive and tag axel, this helps reduce some extra buildup of mud/debris on the tag, then an almost ground dragging flap behind the tag, this helps keep most slinging out the rear. Herman my last three toads were white, I use a nice looking shop blanket over the bumper bungy strapped in place to reduce those rock chips, if you're using transmission pump cooler, don't cover the air opening for your radiator. Also there are some very nice devices that attach to your undercarriage and pull forward to attach to your towbar, these work better than rear full width guards and several other methods, including the old hula skirts.

Good thing is, if lost neutral that something was doing else was doing it's job, or you have only plugged into 30 amp circuits. If you had plugged into a 50 amp and the ATS activated, then you would have sent 240 volts to all activated circuits, probably frying most of them.

Word hasn't got all DOT's yet!!! Many historic sites have roads that do not meet these requirements yet. I saw a campground in Georgia that advertised such a site on a billboard. no mention of a low overpass even on their billboard. It became a Carl moment, unhook toad,back 200 feet to nearest place wide enough to turn around.

Many good upholstery shops across the country, the better ones can usually match almost anything, There is several dealers listed on the internet that can help in replacing most components, but I haven't had much luck finding replacement covers that look good.

HayesFamily, welcome to the forum, and thanks for your comment, that's what it is all about, Carl just gets carried away sometimes. And the title to the thread is RURAL SPEED TRAPS THIS SUMMER. Happy motoring and feel welcome to comment or start a new thread anytime. Kay

Many vinyl graphic sign makers can do this type of work. Ask to see their work, some are quality, some are not. All most need to put back to original is a good photo of what is there now for each area on your coach. The vinyl is rated as to how long you might expect for it to stay looking good.

My last coach before the conversion was a Sportscoach on Spartan chassis, it used 255/80R22.5. Only manufacturer I could find for this size was Michelin, I was unable to locate Michelin when needed. As a result I went to 265/75 as Brett suggested, exact same height and 10 mm wider, that's just under 3/8 inch in width which means that the duals are 10 mm closer together. On that coach there was no problem making the changeover, ie. no kissing. Herman,12 R 22.5, I have found that 305 is pretty close to 12, I'll have to check the height for comparable.

With the coach engine running and at fast idle does it start right up? If not with the same condition pushing the battery combine switch will it start right up? Code 32 seems to indicate that the stater does not start turning when power has been applied to the control board on most Onan generators, you did not give model number of yours. Can the 12 volt cables be removed from the coach source and a fresh 12V battery hooked directly to the genset, then try starting. If this does not work correctly, I would look for a Cummings/Onan repair facility.

Congratulations Brett, Carl will now present the GRAND DRAGON award, for your five thousandth post<LOL. The ATS switch is most vulnerable on the genset side due to the time delay circuitry. Sometimes fails to bring on 240 volts, "or both 120 circuits". But checking the genset circuit breakers can also be a must.

I would start by checking and cleaning all 12 v cables and grounds to the generator.Could be something else such as a bad selenoid, but first things first, ground cables are usually bolted to the chassis, and with dissimilar metals, oxidation can occur causing conditions like you are describing.

Several Ford products are towable 4 down, GM has several, and Jeep most are towable with auto transmissions and4 wheel drive as well as still producing manuals.

Oh woe is we with our older coach conversions!

How about one of those probe type cameras? Many tool supply stores sells them, or maybe a mechanic friend would be happy to use his.
