If it were me I’d take Richard’s advice on the chassis and house batteries, how old, are they clean, terminals maintained and no crud buildup on top? If original they need to be pulled and tested. This should give you a good baseline at the beginning of the circuit. Still have a draw, I have always gone to route Brett recommended above. For the starter unhook the battery cable, Alternator UN hook all connnections, do them one at a time, same with the fuses and watch the ammeter. If you can employ a helper, it will be easier on you and faster.

Full timer - Sanitizing fresh water tank

Carl, smells just like the public water in PA I priced out the other option, much too expensive -
Joe, glad to hear!

Richard, we are feeling it here in PA also! Got the roads washed over the last two days with heavy rain, no salt or sodium chloride to be seen anywhere. Hopefully it stays that way. 50 degrees today supposed to hit 60 next week. Adding the sound bar to the front tv in the coach tomorrow and probably gonna service the generator. That ought to really trigger the itch! Too bad I have no trips planned until the middle of June Brett great idea , DW wants a baby goat, need to add you and Diane to the list of people to keep away from my wife or I’m liable to end up with a goat

Wayne, I do the same as you! -
Hvacahand, Welcome to the FMCA forums! You got an oldie but a goodie!
-
I can relate
-
I watched your video on Facebook. That slide mechanism is neat, but looks complicated!
-
I don't think it matters what lube he uses, sounds like that coach is on the short term list for the Huffman family!
-
Ahh, you have the same issue as me! Mine holds the button in until the clutch slips rather than letting off of it when you hear it bog down.

Looks like a nice place! http://www.cajunpalms.com/

That would be my guess!

Ditto! I use the rear camera to change lanes after I see i'm clear in the mirror, I can make sure the toad is clear (if traffic is gaining on me). Its easier to use the camera for that than trying to see that distance in my pathetic mirrors.

Puff, if it were me id consider a Grade 5 or a shear bolt (like a snow blower drive bolt). Grade 8 could potentially be too strong and in the event of a binding you would want that to be the point of failure, not the gear box.

exterior sunshield/shade one way front window class a motor coach

I love the concept, the $3000 for our coach shut me off. Bill E on here made his own and sewed earth magnets into his, which I have considered modifying ours. -

DJP2240, Welcome the the FMCA forums! I believe Talin RV makes them; Call Chris and see, nice guy. http://talinrv.com/ magne shade is another one; https://magneshade.com/ We have this brand on ours (came with it) http://www.rvsunshadeco.com/ -
Puff, I feel your pain! Shortly after we bought our HR the bedroom slide wouldn't close properly, I thought it was a clutch adjustment, turned out the bed frame was broken causing the rollers to hop off of the stainless steel plates they ride on which made the slide close crooked. I still have no idea how the frame broke, but I got a first hand experience with the track system and motor. I remember thinking how happy I was that it was still operational to open for access. I was impressed at how robust the drive unit was, looked like everything was made from Billet Aluminum, not what I had expected to see.

I have often thought of adding side cameras to ours, I thought it might be helpful with lane changes at night. My concern was removing my eyes off the road to check the monitor would be more of a hazard than analyzing the mirror situation as I can still see whats ahead while scanning mirrors, cant do that while looking into the monitor.
-
Well at least its a cheap fix, you could use a break!
-
That's beautiful and I love your thinking outside the box with this coach build! I love building stuff like that, Its relaxing
-
That’s good!
-
Richard, you anywhere near all of that flooding in Wisconsin?
-
PA $121.00 for a coach our weight which is the maximum, minimum is $68.00. In Texas it would be $340.00 for a coach with a GVWR of 36,000

Agreed! We use the FMCA atlas more.
