A simple volt ohm meter is the best friend for troubleshooting electrical malfunctions. You stated that you had already ordered new bulbs, but you need to know first is there any voltage available to make them work. Best to drag out the old friend VOM and start at the headlights. With headlights on, pull the plug off of the bulbs and test for voltage, both low and high, if voltage is there on both high and low, then the bulbs will most probably fix the problem, if no voltage, then use a test lead to a known good ground if voltage then a bad ground. Use this method all the way back to the headlight switch, if voltage there, then move on to the relays and circuit breakers. Most likely you will find those circuits in the chassis fuse panel which is usually placed under the dash, but sometimes under a panel on the left sidewall of a motorhome, or under the drivers seat. Hope this helps. And as Rich said, welcome to the forum.

As Rich pointed out many questions before a complete answer can be given. For instance you have dish network, but do you have one or two receivers and do the receivers using coax from the dish, on roof or portable. Does your current receiver or receivers have HDMI capabilities now, if not you will need to replace the receivers with later technology. If you replace the receivers you probably will need to replace the dish to latest technology capable of running the new receivers. Dish network does offer a Wally/Joey system which will send signals to different tv's and there are wireless transmitter/receivers available from dish network. I would place a call to dish network and ask for an RV expert to help satisfy your desires, and if that doesn't work come back here for more advice.

I beg to differ on the assessment that at knee-height or floor level is just as well, the industry standard is five feet. https://www.sterlinghomeinspections.com/sterling-home-inspection-blog/2013/12/11/carbon-monoxide-detector-placement-dos-and-donts/

Yes many systems have low coolant sensors that detect when the coolant is actually low, not overtemp will trigger the check engine light. My rig has this device built into the equalization reservoir since the unit uses two radiators, this device actually shuts down the engine as well as gives a low coolant light. I know this because I had it happen after a mechanic had worked on the engine, drained the coolant, and failed to burp the system after refilling, wouldn't you know it went dead in the busiest intersection at the busiest time of the year.

Great to hear that you just purchased diesel pusher, congratulations! Have you driven the coach enough know whether you will need the safety bar system, and know if you need to upgrade system for ride and wind issues? Most pushers have a pretty unique ride from the factory compared to any gas coach that I have operated in the past. If this is a used coach and you have already experienced problems, I would start with 4 corner weighing and adjusting tire pressure to match those weights, then after that I would suggest 4 wheel alignment. As for comfort drive I really don't know if can be installed or not. Good luck with the new acquisition and keep us posted.

I don't find a refresh button within the mentioned settings for windows 10, apple does support this option. You must have created a restore disk for the option to go back on windows10. Many manufacturers does create a partition on the same hard drive to enable one to do this but not all do. To determine if yours has one you can look at the drive partitions on your computer, if there is one, it will show up as a very small drive included usually labeled (OS). This is only true if you upgraded to Windows10 from Windows8.

Fuse or circuit would be the first place to look. Also verify if the fans spin freely if not possible fan motors have gone bad, but unlikely that both stopped at the same time, if one turns freely but the other one does not, this could be cause for fuse blowing.

My last trip to Tennessee last September, I was cruising I-75 at near 70 mph, many trucks passed me but a couple passed at very excessive speeds, I passed both of those before getting to my destination. I passed both of those on the side of the road with blowouts. I doubt that they both were using cheap China tires, just excessive speeds.

11.00 X 22.5 will fit on 7.5 rim, I wonder what the height and or circumference difference would be.

Have you walked around the coach with the engine running and with all air tanks full to listen for air leaks? It seems pretty uncommon for air ride to not try to raise at least one end or corner of the coach.

Actually it is the other way around, sometimes not easy to downgrade without a restore copy, but some computers it is impractical to upgrade because of limitations of the older hardware, for instance, Windows 10 not will run well with only 4 gig ram, but it will be miserably slow and some motherboards will not accept more ram, just one example.

I know this has been discussed on several occasions on this forum, but I have some new news, I hope good. Some Windows 10 users believe that they could actually stop Windows 10 updates or at least postpone them forever with the Pro version. That has been untrue since the inception of Windows 10, Home version not even postpone them and Pro version some postponement of them but not an actual stop. You could have stopped them only by never allowing the PC to get onto the internet, this was the only way. Well this years spring update was renamed (SCU) was renamed April update, and this update actually gives the end user the ability to completely turn off future updates on both Home and Pro versions of Windows 10. Actually the April update was postponed but the newest (1903) is now available. Here is an article to read if you want become more familiar with it, and I highly recommend that Windows 10 users take advantage of this update A.S.A.P. https://www.howtogeek.com/402569/everything-new-in-windows-10s-april-2019-update/

Yes place motor on first, boat laid bottom down with transom against a rest which is hinged at the base of the assembly so that the transom carries the weight of the boat while being transported, attach the hook to the stem then winch the boat to upright position. A 10 foot jon boat should barely be above the back of most coaches, and memory serves me well, there are some about 9 feet. I'll dray it out this PM and try to post. I built something similar to hoist a tow dolly that worked well, the camper I built it for had problems with a place to park tow dolly in some campgrounds, after this device he simply raised the dolly and then backed into his campsite, of course after removing the toad.

Just trying to keep things straight. No, 5 watts is not much, I tried one of those 30 watt units on my nieces car one time because her battery kept draining enough that the car wouldn't start in 18 hours, 30 watts didn't help either. After two years, numerous batteries, alternators, and hooking up full time chargers, it was discovered that the trunk light was backwards, trunk open no light, trunk closed light came on, no one ever thought there was supposed to be a light in the trunk. LOL, I was only asked to put the solar panel on, and didn't realize that it was still a problem as no one bothered to tell me until after the car was replaced.

I haven't found commercial ones there, I have bought some there only to modify to fit in a pinch.

Actually would be pretty simple to build a Jon boat style, use a hitch extension, weld a six foot 2X2 tube vertical, then use 1.5X1.5 seven foot tube to slide inside for lowering when not needed, weld a motor mount onto the 2X2 tube at a convenient location, place a roller bar padded slightly wider than the boat sides. Use a 2000# electric winch with cable through the inside of the tube with a good pulley at the top, drill both tubes to allow a pin to hold up or down as needed. Don't know where your tag is located but a temporary location can be affixed at the end of the roller assembly with lights placed on each end to cover for any that time a boat is covering others. I'll try to draw it out and post when I have spare time. Of course you will want to have the boat bottom facing traffic, and this will allow for a place for the motor to ride going down the road, and since you used a hitch extension, simply put the hitch with ball, or tow bar in the extension for towing purposes still. I calculated the cost for parts, excluding welding (very minimal), less than $300.00.

Not quite correct, the system is 12 volt dc not 120 ac, at 12 volts .4 amps and 9 amps. .4 amps will almost keep up with a half amp drain during daylight hours.

There are those that can replace the old batman style, which was made to rotate from inside the coach by hand, the unit is self sealed to allow motion, the stationary base is caulked and they worked well. There is newer styles that electrically rotate (some are automatic) and some use a manual control box. The newest versions actually send the signal current through the coax so no other wiring is necessary to the antenna, just to the control box. Here is an example. https://www.ebay.com/itm/HDTV-Directional-Over-the-Air-TV-Antenna-with-Mount-and-Signal-for-RV-Camper-NEW/312277539983?epid=2254580483&hash=item48b5311c8f:g:cTYAAOSwclVbz0G9

Hopefully will only be a sensor going bad, especially with no slow down or over speed of the engine. Good luck!

Hmmmm! Whether tag axel or no tag axel, u-joint or drive axels should be removed to protect the transmission. Tag axel on most coaches have nothing to do with the u-joint. My coach requires that the air supply to tag axel should be turned off to prevent the tag from carrying too much load if the front is lifted.

Here is an item that I use about every two months on the blades, we use it in printers and copying machines, it prolongs the life of the rubber many times longer than rubbing alcohol because it contains the right formula to rejuvenate the rubber. https://www.ebay.com/itm/CAIG-RBR100L-25C-Rubber-Cleaner-and-Rejuvenator-25mL/321527462136?epid=1200148658&hash=item4adc87b8f8:g:4NoAAOSwVFlUGxg3 My blades are 28" and usually last 4 to 5 years, yes I do buy commercial blades also, pretty easy to find the correct blades in most truck stops.

Maybe someone thinks that if you put the leveler down that you are going to raise the coach and vice versa. I don't really know since it has been years since I last used hydraulic levelers.

Yes, and as Joe asked, what make and model.

DB, if you are looking for almost kind of boat now, how about a 10 ft. aluminum jon boat, since they are light an upright hoist would be very simple to make to work on your receiver hitch.

Some bike racks designed to be used with a receiver hitch with Herman's double receiver might be a better solution than a ladder.
