  1. If anyone needs an RV entry door hinge I recently found a good site for a very good replacement hinge for a Phillips entry door that is no longer available from the manufacturer. I will provide the website http://www.fleetwoodrvhinges.com/. and I have heard a lot about this product and I should receive it in the mail today. I am told the replacement hinge that attaches to the frame is made of steel and that it will be a much needed improvement than the original factory Phillips hinge and I think the hinges that attach to the screen and door are aluminum. The website says it will work with many motorhomes that used the Phillps door but that you should check with them prior to ordering to make sure it will work with your coach. I also searched on the Discovery website and found a lot of information about the hinge and that if you do remove the screws from the frame side that you should remove one screw from each hinge get the same size screw that you removed about a 1/4 inch longer and cut the head off and put one in each hinge before removing the other screws holding the hinge so that the backing plate inside the RV door frame does not drop.
  2. I have cleaned the exterior of the radiator and since then the thermostat coolant temp never goes above 1/4, when cold it does return to the cold side on the gauge. I did check the dash cable and it did move the slider for the water valve and I did start the engine and watch to see that all of the buttons moved the linkage for the ac and defrost and the other buttons all worked. I also went and bought a infrared thermometer and I will check the temp tomorrow, I also turned on the engine block heater a couple of hours ago and the top of the radiator is warm to the touch but the heater hoses are still cold and I will go out in the morning and start the engine and check the heater hoses both at the engine heater shut off vales and at the heater.
  3. Does any one have a fix for the dash heater only blowing cool to warm air. I have a 1999 36t and I would like to fix the dash heater, I know the engine temp stays at about 1/4 on the dash gauge. I do not know if the heater box has a blend door that may be stuck or if it could have an electrical operated blend door. I would think it is a manual operated door because it has a slider on the dash. Both valves in the engine compartment are opened.
