Worse than that over here Herman!

TDnME, welcome to the FMCA Forums! I was wondering myself how full timers are making out with this. If campgrounds, State and National parks are closing that leaves Wally docking as the only resort.

Have you tried to supply a new ground to the starter while it’s installed or checked the current ground? A set of automotive jumper cables would suffice for a test. When you say won’t crank, does the engine spin when you attempt to start it, what sound does it make, just a THUD? where are you attempting to start it, at the generator or from inside the coach?

Same post on Facebook. They certainly put it out in many locations to make everyone aware.

Wayne, air drum brakes for my comment above, air disc there is a good chance they will lock.

Especially the type with the caged pin permanently installed in place, the air doesn't leak externally, it back feeds. Its not likely they would lock up under all of that weight. Unless tire friction is reduced.

For internal leaks or bypassing/blockage issues you must understand how the valve is supposed to function to test it. Check for proper air input, Command it and disconnect the output is usually where I start. air out and it’s supposed to, move onto the next one. No air out when air is supposed to be present you found your problem. It sounds simple but can be frustrating, lines won’t disconnect, you think you understand the flow and your wrong, hang a valve them realize you missed something.

This really depends on the chassis and GCWR rating. I.e I had a C with a V10 and if I still had it NO.

I didn’t, the passenger seat went back far enough. You will have to measure.

David, have you been running it monthly to exercise it?

Funny, we had a bunch of DD13's at work that didn't come with a filter, recalled them back, installed filter, put it right on the frame next to the passenger side tire (no body said they were smart) 3 years later, recalled them again and pulled them off, after we had several leak from getting punched with road debris. I asked why? we made a mistake....which time?? no response.

There is nothing like a tankless water heater when on the road!

YUP! Still got the itch and it’s a new year with the vacation clock re-started in January.

John, call Tiffin. Not all slides are supposed to be lubed, really depends on the manufacturer and model.

Sorry to hear!! As Ray already said, if they want in they’ll get in.

Exercised generator and Aquahot today, got the itch to hit the road now especially since tomorrow will be in the 70’s and sunny!! 😎

Flyingtrout, I’ve got to agree with Rich. How long since the unit was serviced? Herman, got to love that location For the filter! That access door on ours didn’t open either by the factory design, riveted closed. I made a latch mechanism for ours.

I figured you either bought the place and wasn't ready to announce it or you switched the dates.

U856787, Welcome to the FMCA Forums! I do not recall ever seeing a short bed without a sliding hitch. Personally I’d go with the slider, the risk isn’t worth the added cost. First mishap you will wish you spent that money.

Amen.

I pulled the generator and Aquahot pick up tubes out of the tank. Generator sat 4” from the bottom, Aquahot so deep I’m not sure how it pulls fuel without blocking off the tube from the bottom of the tank.

Are you sure we don't have the same coach . I have the exact same problem. On my gauge between at 3/8 and 1/2 of a tank my generator shuts off. I stuck the tank the last time and found the gauge on the dash to be off by 3/8 of a tank, it reads higher than the actual level. My Aquahot pulls from the bottom, it will run the tank dry.

You should be fine, our flap is low but not dragging, never had anything hit our Wrangler. Id run it and revisit this later. You could have some turbulence back there that would cause an issue. Look for road debris resting on the bumper when you stop.

I have ours on and have for 6 years, no issues. What do you have for a toad?

I have friends that are Leo’s, (imagine that ) they pull their FOP badges off of their license plates to go into NY state. They actually get pulled over with them on and one had his car searched, they didn’t believe he was unarmed. I was always taught there is a brotherhood rule, doesn’t apply up there.
