  1. Get a RV inspector to check the whole thing out before buying. Be armed with information.

  3. Did you or your mechanic find a replacement reservoir? If not remove the broken flange to measure that and and then measure require length. Then do google search with the manufacture of your pump motor assembly.
  4. Your picture shows a horizonal one and his appears like long vertical one with cap on top like on my 2 post lifts. They have ones that bolt on and that may how it his may what he had. Thinking of the design and looking at the picture again hitting bumps on the road with about a gallon of fluid it would have a tendency to rock back and forth and crack even if bolted with what appears is 4 bolts holding it on. The crack spread until it fell completely off. Looks like the part that is left is wet with fluid and splashed surrounding area. https://www.carliftparts.com/lift-and-hoist-parts/oil-tank-reservoir-for-spx-power-units-5141ac/?network=g&device=c&keyword=&campaign=1740001091&adgroup=pla-301428449958
  5. With that style pump and motor, the fluid reservoir looks like it could of very well slipped off if there was just a band holding it on.
  6. I know it can be a great expense, but I would never do it. Unless you have measured the circumference of both tires and they are the same, you might have problems. A smaller tire turns faster at a certain speed than a larger one would. So there would be a lot of friction on the weaker of the two. Also the taller tire will be carrying more of the weight and getting hotter. Hot tires can catch fire and burn up wheel bearing, burn the vehicle, or fly apart causing more damage. If you have to buy two tire, it should be mounted on the front, and two of the same size front tires should be moved or remounted to the duals providing they are same circumference. (my opinion)
  7. Sorry to butt in but you said 2 then 2 then 2 over a three year period. The problem with that is the dual rear axle will have mixed wear tires. I seen first hand what happens when not all tires on dual axle are not changed all the same time. How are you going to be sure that the tires wear even if you only replace 2 on rear axle?
  8. Fuel injector o-rings? Check to see if fuel is getting black from motor oil.
  9. I corrected my post, they're 15,000 btu heat pumps. I haven't experience the blower fan failing but a few Entegra Coach Owners Association members has blower wheel failure and was noted what to do when it happens.
  10. Again I wasn't talking about size as size don't matter. What I pointed out was both had same type of squirrel cage blower wheel and they were exploding unexpected. No complaints about noise until the blower breaks and three 19,000 BTU units cools or heats quickly. Then one or two may run as needed. I only stated in the beginning that plastic blower blades were known to explode not to compare 20 years different in technology. Correction a/c - heat pumps, they are 15,000 btu x 3 = 45,000 btu total.
  11. No the coach has 3 a/c heat pumps on the roof and use same type plastic squirrel cage to draw from filter returns and then blow through ceiling ductwork in three zones.
  12. In a newer coach like my Entegra, those plastics squirrel cage are know to explode without warning. Supposedly it is being made a little thicker now.
  13. Sounds like spilled oil to me.
  14. Many high end motor coaches use Spartan chassis. Entegra, Newmar, NeXus RV, Foretravel and now Jayco started using them. If you want a motorcoach with comfortdrive, steerable tag and the best riding air suspension go with Spartan.
  15. Entegra Coach Owner Association is having a rally in Spearfish, SD right before FMCA Gillette rally which I'm confirmed for both. They are forming a caravan with a wagon-master on July 6 to arrive at Gillette at 11:00 AM. Please be warned that will be a bad time for you to arrive. I probably will be in that caravan.
  16. FL shops are authorized to do Spartan work as per CS at Spartan. I has a local FL shop do yearly maintenance as well recalls, TSB. They did TSB, Recalls and warranty work for free. They also have separate park for rv's and can stay in it if needed. Last MH I had a Roadmaster chassis and they service that also. The one before that was a Oshkosh chassis and the service that also. Bottom line is they are truck/bus chassis and service by most truck shops if they are willing to work on RV's. That includes Cummins repair shops.
  17. You can take a Spartan back to the factory for service and they do a great job for both warranty and paid jobs. I just done so for mine. The same goes for Entegra as they will go out of their way to make it right.
  18. In my coach it's always 5:00 o'clock Friday evening.
  19. I'm going to FMCA rally in Gillette, WY this year. I hope to meet a few from here if possible. Hopefully everything will be back to normal by then.
  20. I done my dishes while driving and it done a good job before I arrive the next stop.
  21. True, Entegra factory is having a hard time getting refrigerators and furniture. Glad I got mine before the pandemic.

    Downsizing

    How many definitions can you find for run?
  23. Yes, but they must have access to the military's rv park. I would ask in the office if there is anybody.
  24. Yes, people will pay thinking they getting faster transit at the same speed limit.
