2002 American Dream: Accessing top of gray tank
manholt replied to jcavasos's topic in Water and Holding Tanks
Having had a AC Tradition. Yes, they are still a bear to get at the plumbing...spent a whole summer, changing out most of the plumbing and connections to aligator bite, pex and brass ball valves. Shower was by far the most antique of it all. To get at 90% of the bathroom plumbing, you have to either remove the shower or drop the grey tank! 100 X easier to work on a Fleetwood, than a Fleetwood American Coach! -
Your coach should still be under warranty! I do believe that if you call Tiffin and ask to speak with Bob Tiffin, all will be taken care off in warranty or not. Bob Tiffin takes very good care of his customers! We have friends from AZ that are in Red Bay now & a lot of after market add on's has already been done at no cost, over the past 6 weeks, because Bob T felt it should have been on the 2019 Allegro Bus 45' to begin with.

2002 American Dream: Accessing top of gray tank
manholt replied to jcavasos's topic in Water and Holding Tanks
Before you tear up the floor....it would be easier to drain the grey tank and drop it. I suspect the pipe is not seated well between shower drain and tank...18 years of a rolling earthquake will do all kinds of things to pipes! -
Jon48. If you put the make, model & year in your signature, it would come up automatically on each post. Like mine, under my first name.

I'm guessing the red goes to engine. Been a long time ago that I had an Apollo with 2-75 gal tanks & one 30 gal for the gen. Hook up a line to engine and a tank...if it does not work, then move the line to the other connector on the selector switch...it's a trow of the dice!
-
Then replace the engine!

It appears to be a recall on some but not all...typical Freightliner. I would call them!

Ghetto or not, it beats freezing! 😎

Now we all know. Thank you for that info! Lot's off us did not retire or got wounded in the Service of our country.

Who, What, When, Where or Just Lets Talk
manholt replied to hermanmullins's topic in General Discussion
When we where last at a Amish Market, we asked, "how do you prevent mold on curds?" She said, "Freeze them, in food saver bags or zip lock!" Been doing that a lot, since we can get it in both Fredericksburg, Amish Market & Durant, OK. 3 miles before Casino! 😁 -
Maxxforce 7 for 2011 -14, then Cummins 250HP.

Even on mine, it say's, "DO NOT FILL TO TOP!" Mine is 15 gal. We put in 10 gal the other day & put a red tape on it. 4 boxes of 2.5 gal each. The tank also has a red tape for low point.
-
Joe, no way will I, on purpose or not, do that in a coach! 😂
-
Rich, Air leveling HWH, both stationary and in motion! If I need higher or lower, while doing 20 mph or less, just press on button or press STD for normal ride height. I also have a separate control panel for HWH Jacks autto/manual. Bill, yes! Probably one size up.

My coach weight is 61,000+/- lbs, it's including my 4,400 lbs Jeep, GCWR is 69,000 lbs. 600 HP & 2050 lbs of torque, Alison 4000! So far, great match up...going to Ruidoso, NM Sunday and get a better feel for how it does on long climbs. Later this Summer we head to Glacier NP & Oregon...I'll post how it's doing. I set CC at 64 mph! 3 months ago, I had a AC Tradition 45' with 450 HP at 1,250 torque, same problem as Joe on long grades...weight with Jeep 58,000+/- and GCWR of 61,000! In my 53 years & 18 Coaches, I have never wanted one that was a hot rod or sports car!

JEAUTRY. Welcome to the Forum and thank you for your service! 😀 I have no idea...but there are other Retired Vets on this Forum that will be along by 7 pm!
-
RayIN, just looked at your Allison Link...the 3000 has a max capacity for 1,750 torque, with a torque converter! Not listed. The ISM 380 engine put out 1,700 Ft Lbs and used the A3000!
-
Mike, leave wife in coach, all you got to do is downshift & maintain RPM's! Happy wife/happy life!
-
Rich, I'll get it, they are really big! Found everything but...2 Bilstein gas-pressurized in front & 6 in rear, no info on air bags! GVWR=54,000, GCWR=69,000. Herman, my bags are way bigger than anything I have had before, would not even attempt to remove one!
-
Ross, whatever works & back then, they still had good people!

Dometic Sealand 8819 Toilet won't flush
manholt replied to sweenrv's topic in Water and Holding Tanks
I found mine, in my last coach (American Tradition 2010), under the dishwasher in a 2" x 4" x 2" black junction box! The Sealand macerate elect is 15 amp for Sea and 20 amp for land (RV)! My fuse kept going bad (15 amp), then I read about it and used the 20 amp, no more problems. My old boat, a Laguna Cat had the same system, because it can flush with water or dry, I called the new owner and he checked and it was 15 amp! I sold the CAT & mooring to him, in 2009. I'm now in the process of finding fuses in our "New to us" coach, 2 months old. Same toilet's, just newer/better! -
Herman. Sorry, but I beg to differ. Only one used coach dealer in my life, has been up front with, "this is what's wrong with the coach, that we know off"! No more a general rule than a used car lot. CW suck and anyone who buy's a new or used coach from them, have to be on top of their game or get hurt bad! Back in the mid 1990's to 2008, it was not that way, I bought 2 coaches from them, along with after market add on's, and replacements...never a problem! Then Marcus Lemonis came along and everything started going bad! Try PPL instead.

Richard, Big difference between your 32 foot, gas coach and a 40 to 45 foot DP! Both Joe/Herman is dead on!

Dometic Sealand 8819 Toilet won't flush
manholt replied to sweenrv's topic in Water and Holding Tanks
Robert, Did you find the 20 amp stab in fuse, in your trouble shooting quest? Jim. If you have the same system in your boat, it will be a 15 amp! -
Do you have a valve in the bay, to turn on and purge the air system of moisture? Or does it purge automatically....if it's auto you'll hear a whoose sound, from the back of coach, when it's on idle! Have you had your "Dry Air" filter replaced? If not, do it. The only time the coach dumps the air is, if your going to level it by Jacks or Air (if you also have that system), not when you apply "Air Brake" (Parking Brake)! Do you have HWH, Lipper "Power Gear, or Atwood leveling System?
