    I'm starting to find out what a learning curve is.  Today house batteries were getting low and confused of why.  Seems like what I got away with before isn't going to work now.  The shore line extension cord has loss connection overnight.  Of course I left the fridge running and unknowingly a few lights.  Tomorrow I'm going to see if I can reel the coach cord into the garage.  

    Today I learned to crack and program a safe.  Now it has a 6 digit pin code and another secrete way to get into it.  I also reprogrammed the keypad on the grab handle at front door. 

    That's about all I got done today on it.  I brought in a suitcase of manuals in to look through.   It's crazy that everything installed either has a operators or installation manual.  Some of it is condensed into the Entegra owners manual.  

    We are at stay at home order right now so I have plenty of time to go through everything.

    We pick up a new coach to replace the 2006 Holiday Rambler Ambassador PDQ with a 2019 Entegra Anthem 44B leftover.   This is the time where the dealer try to stick us and we try to stick the dealer.  Our trade in got a cracked windshield right before trading in so insurance is sis taking of it on the dealer lot.  What we feel we stuck them with is tires needs replacing (7 years old this summer) disclosed, slide shear bolt that breaks once in awhile, not disclosed, the dash monitor system that disconnected, disclosed but cameras are hooked up and working, the pleated day night shades are mostly shot .  The Norcold 1200 is still installed and working good with ice maker reinstalled made making ice thanks to ARP.   How the dealer stuck it to us?  Warranty on everything for six years and wheels and tires protection.  I haven't read through the contracts yet.  Just sign here and is included in the payments.  

    We were shopping for new shades closet space for the HR in Quartzite AZ when DW saw the Anthem and fell in love with it.  It was a long hard road to finance it but after taking a second route we pulled it off.  We took delivery of it yesterday and I did the orientation with the dealer mechanic.  I made a punch list with the mechanic of thing that I said that should been done on pre-delivery inspection.   The list include the door stop on middle rest room, toilet paper holder rear bathroom, 1 latch broken on basement freezer, chassis battery has corrosion on ground cable and DEF not filled half way.  There is also 2 open recalls on it, the side warning sensors all 6 has to be replaced for water intrusion, the parking brake might not hold on steep incline.  They don't have the parts needed to fix them.  I have copies of the recalls but not the time to read through them. 

    On the drive home the dash and mirrors were flashing indicating a vehicle was beside me when there wasn't.  Yes we need those sensors.   We are about 25 miles from the dealer so I drove a little main road, a little turn pike and a little back road.  More quiet and smoother than the old coach but for some reason I was driving more slow than I'm use to.  Taking it easy because I'm scared that I will break something .

    Ray, you have done good...beautiful.  We are still moving from living room, shed and box trailer into ours!  4 weeks.  Good luck & remember your increased height.

    Not only are we going to move in little by little,  I also have lots to learn on this new coach.  It's like moving out of a Chevrolet into a Bentley.

    Hello,

    I have a question about maintaining my House Batteries.  I have 4 AGM batteries in my 2018 Entegra motorhome.  I still work and only am able to get the coach out about once a month and then its in storage for about 3 - 4 weeks before we go out again.  Unfortunately I have no room at home so I have to store it in a rv storage facility with no power to plug into to keep the batteries maintained.  I know only a little about batteries but I have heard that storing for a month at a time can cause sulfation which will significantly reduce the life.  

    I saw a product called, Batter Minder, that claims that it can maintain up to 4 batteries and they have one kit with a solar panel.  Does anybody have any experience with this or any better solutions to keep my batteries in good condition under these circumstances?  The kit only costs a little over $200, if it works it seems like a slam dunk to me.

    Any advice would be appreciated!  Thanks in advance and stay safe!!!

    Depending on the model of your coach, it may already be wired for solar panels.

    There are a few things in life that are certain, Death, Taxes and the fact that both FMCA's Tucson and Lincoln Conventions have been canceled.

    SO, what all of us can do now is buckle down and help FMCA make the Perry 2021 101, 102 or will it be 103, whichever, the COMEBACK International Convention and RV Expo the best ever. WE CAN DO IT!     :)

    OK Gillette Wy would be fine but when is it coming in 2021?

    I need to go check the error code again. Iza have a fuel filter on order and it has rubber gas lines. The choke

    looks good and working OK. Imma maybe thinking while I'm under there, blow the gas line back to the tank (low psi).

    Not sure if there is a check valve thingy between the "in/out".

    Before you blow through the lines disconnect both ends.

    Well lol hope your ready for this .... took wall sensor cover off in bed room and the thermostat wire was back behind the wall I was able to fish it out. Turned furnace on and **** if it didn’t cycle on and off to the temperature set at. Guess it wasn’t getting a true reading behind the wall !!! Anyway I secured the wire so it can’t fall back into the wall again replaced the cover and we’re good to go want to thank you for your help and time on this problem !!

    I would think it would have at least one cable staple on it to hold it.

    Zone 1 sensor is located in living area and cycles properly with that furnace zone 2 sensor is located in bedroom and zone 2 heats bed and bathroom with 1 register in bedroom 1 in bath area and one under refrigerator

    Hope I explained it properly 

    I have a 06 and know the system.  I have to look it up but I would try a thermostat reset. Owners manual attached.
