I had a folding A frame on a Jeep, hooked on to 2" ball on coach! Nice part, if you need your toad serviced, hook on to back of any vehicle that has a hitch, leave at garage and go about your business!

Yellow or red light? If it's yellow, drop down a gear & keep your RPM up, it will help with the heat build up....also, as suggested clean your radiator and CAC, it's important. As Kay said, could be a bad coolant sensor...normally on outside of your overflow tank by radiator and looks like a spark plug with a two wire clip connector. Un clip and see if sensor goes off on next hill, then reclip. About $35.

Take your coach in to fill with propane and ask them. Even if the tank is full.

Just out of curiosity...did he pull the dip stick, checked for proper level of oil and re seat it? Bet not. Save 5 cents on a code reader to spend a dollar!

Ross, closet comes to mind, so does engine compartment.

Charlie, no secret...It was expedient, all has been covered on other posts since 2014....you just need to look for it. 😃

Herman, I sent him a PM.

That's so true!

Thanks guy's! I'll see what I can find....I will let you know!

All of you who have DE Villa, chairs, sofas, both dinette or any other furniture...they went out of business in 2009! No parts available and they used Flexsteel. Flexsteel stopped making anything for the RV industry this past April...I have a Co-Pilot seat that has a broken motor and gear box, no parts, or motor with gear box, can be found by the biggest suppliers, in the Country! Newmar, Thor or Rev will sell you the whole seat...Avg cost $3,800 + $1,200 shipping in 6 to 10 weeks!!!

Phoenix to Flagstaff is doable. If your at 112 at home, you'll probably be in high 80's at Mesa and mid 80's in Flagstaff...only problem is getting there, all uphill, so use a lower gear if you have one!
-
Ray, good job, nice trees, nice house and yard...have the cats been in it yet? Stay safe and enjoy!
-
Have you told your insurance company? Could be you need to replace the whole unit, that gets expensive!
-
Agree! But, OP has what he has! I only know about triple axle, custom, boat trailers...principal in towing should be the same! Weight, length, drag and what you pull it with.

My last 3 coaches has had an internal water pressure gauge, set at 60 psi, I use an external gauge set at 50 psi...never had a problem on high side. Low park pressure of less than 40 psi and we have to use the fresh tank and pump for a shower! The black water tank will have no problem with 90 psi in regards to back flush! When I lived on Galveston Island, city pressure was 120 psi and now, at Linda's house, it's 90!

Zilpha. Welcome to the Forum! Your 22 feet long, GVWR is 7000#, What is the weight of your GMC? Oversize radiator, do you have a clutch fan? What does your manual on GMC say in regards to max engine temp & do you have a trailer gear on your transmission? Ambient temp of 112 can equal up to 160+ road / pavement heat. You'll have to figure in drag, but your well within weight tolerance. At 22' your very close to having the tail wag the dog. Get some stabilizers for trailer hitch!

I suspect you have a bad oil level probe (sender)).

Coleman A/C compressor doesn't kick in
manholt replied to sumrfun45's topic in Systems and Appliances
Sometimes it's also caused by a dirty build up...I had 2 of three units cleaned yesterday by a mobile tech & now my coach is cool when needed. The other unit needs replacing, heat pump is leaking. -
What direction am I looking? year & make of coach would help, along with # of slides! If the others have the same amount of slack in the same place, I would leave them alone.
-
IMHO, you have a bad ground.

Especially when "he" forgets or won't owe up to it....more $$$, I might remember!

Yes, indeed she did.

I would like to know what FMCA is doing to recruit new members?
manholt replied to wildebill308's topic in FMCA
Yes, welcome back...first post in 6 years and it's a "Bullseye!" -
Yep, me too! Only exception is when I use air only level...as I put slides out or in, it equalizes it's self. Some coaches allow water to come in, on floor both sides of slide there is a drain slit, that allows water to escape back out. On my current coach, I have a different system and nothing comes in!
