naterrt, Welcome to the FMCA forums! You can run the system with the domestic water loop drained or winterized, I wouldn't run the unit without the unit without the heat zones completely bleed out. I would fear the pumps would be running with no solution in them and damage the pumps. Since you are converting over to "boiler antifreeze" from traditional automotive ethylene glycol make sure all of the system is completely drained including each heat register and the wall tubing supplying the heat registers. You could accomplish this by blowing compressed air through out the loop, just be sure to keep the pressure low, id say below 10 PSI unless you locate a spec that states otherwise. Finally, YES, that product is premixed and you do not need to add water. When I replaced the fluid in ours I vacuum filled the system with a tool similar to this one, I did not convert it to the new Boiler fluid you have pictured above. https://www.grainger.com/product/45PG67?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIup-Q8oTk4wIVhJ6fCh2zzweFEAQYAyABEgJtNPD_BwE&cm_mmc=PPC:+Google+PLA&ef_id=EAIaIQobChMIup-Q8oTk4wIVhJ6fCh2zzweFEAQYAyABEgJtNPD_BwE:G:s&s_kwcid=AL!2966!3!50916716037!!!g!82496524917!

That's great news!

Eric, the factory molded plugs fail internally also. Happens on every coach we’ve owned so far. I’d start with a replacement plug.

Glad you found the culprit!

While we can all appreciate the warnings we have to remember, the unit is deflated already, we can only go up from here, lets keep it on topic.

My experience with those salvage yards was the same, very disappointing! I needed a power sun-visor they wanted almost $300.00 for a used one plus $100.00 in shipping, a new one from Carefree was $310.00 and free shipping. I bought one from a company that removed them and upgrades RV interiors for $50.00 and $25.00 shipping, sadly it was coming from several hundred miles farther than either salvage yard and the shipping was significantly less also.

SCOTTD, Welcome to the FMCA forums! The leveling valve on our Monaco product is the center of the steer axle, behind it, there is a long rod that connects to the valve which is mounted above the axle. You can see the rod if you bend down at the generator and look toward the rear of the coach. We have a different chassis but that should give you a starting point.

HotROD1987, Welcome to the FMCA Forums! I just google mapped it, to be honest if time was a concern I'd go that way. I64W to I95N to I495N to I270N to I70N to I76W to I99N to I80W to I79N to I90N into Niagara. Depending on the time of day I495 could be a real hassle. I'd plan to be through there after AM rush hour or the middle of the night.

tlkFMCA, Welcome to the FMCA forums! What supplemental brake system are you using on your CMAX?

Agreed! Not going to get much quicker than air power from the coach directly into the Toad. I love the system because its fully proportional and ITS SIMPLE. We have enough things that can go wrong with our coaches, just look at the "Electrical" page on the forums. The M&G system just works with no electronic computers and its cost effective! https://m-gengineering.com/

Josh2000, Welcome to the FMCA Forums! You described exactly what I had experienced and the very reasons we would never consider it. I always cherry pick my site, could be the view or it could be out of the bathhouse path so people don’t have a need or desire to cut through our site.

Our Monaco product had a problem with an outlet not working, bad outlet. The wires crimp into the back of the outlet and when you snap the back cover on it pierced the wires. It appeared that it was never seated properly and disconnected. I replaced that outlet, local RV dealer had it and it was less than $5.00

Richard, when I worked in the automobile business we used one of these to remove cigarette smoke from interiors after a good cleaning. Look locally you might locate a rental place; https://www.odorfreemachines.com/ozone-generator-rental/

Wow, that really could have been much worse! Glad it ended up being not so serious, more of a nuisance.

Herman, this is the type we have:

Smitty, thanks for the advise. We have the Roadmaster "S" series chassis, pre wax valve era Cummins ISL. I have the FASS pump and a few other modifications on it as well.

Probably. Most require donuts or screw in type hoses. I've only ever had the screw in type and I don't believe I have run across a CG that wasn't threaded. I also carry "Sewer Weights" that hang over the elbow to hold it down should it not be threaded.

Smitty, that was a very detailed and excellent response. You now struck my curiosity on the overall quality of the Road King shocks. Koni was another consideration that has crossed my mind but you are the first person to recommend Road King. Have you stumbled upon anyone recommending shocks for Roadmaster Chassis (8 air bag) or know of someone that installed a specific brand over another? Ours are the original Bilsteins, and by the feel from the last trip its about time to replace them.

1, Tires would warm up and the pressures would rise (normal). When we would stop for the day I would get 10 Pressure loss alarms over the next hour as the tires were cooling back to their cold pressure. 2, the system would turn on automatically when it sensed vibration the coach. If you walked towards the front it would come on with an obnoxious beep and the screen would illuminate. You could hear it over the AC, it would wake up the kids (they sleep up front). This would also happen every time one of the dogs would hop off of a sofa, our biggest dog is 12 lbs. 3, false alarms while driving. I would get low psi alarms, pull over thinking I had a problem only to find out there was no low pressure concern. I would have to reset the unit, on the side of the road. I spoke to their customer service and was advised My tires were cooling too fast which was the root cause of my problems. Poor guy at EEZ Tire, I grilled him over the phone and went through all of my scenarios that drove us nuts. He assured me that tires naturally increase pressure as the become hotter and they understand that process, which I already knew. He was so confident in their system he gave me his personal cell phone number. He told me if their system ever acted that ridiculous to call him no matter when and if they couldn’t fix it over the phone immediately they would refund 100% of my money including shipping. We hung up and I called him back right after they closed for the day just to make sure his number was real and he wasn’t pulling my leg. He answered the phone I thanked him and the rest was history. He thought that was funny and sent me extra batteries no charge. Thats customer service!

We run EEZ Tire. It’s my 3rd system and aside from Pressure Pro it works flawlessly. I also doesn’t need a repeater even to receive signal from the Toad. https://eezrvproducts.com/ I had Tire Minder after Pressure Pro (sold it with the last coach) and I had a terrible experience with Tire Minder. I have heard TST is another good one. After a lengthy interview with the folks at EEZ Tire I was so impressed by their designs and common sense built into the unit I splurged and bought it. I would have purchased another Pressure Pro but the batteries are not replaceable in the sensors and that was a turn off.

Glad to hear all has been fixed

I sent mine in 2x got it back and it worked on 1/2 of the following trip. The more times we have used it since the worse it gets. I gave up and filed a complaint with BBB. Terrible company and worse customer service. Hopefully your experience turns out better than mine. I now use it as a digital map to see what’s ahead, it’s useless for anything else.
