Very common point of failure. If it turns on take a line off of it and see if you can stick your finger to the port (suction). I’ve heard them run but not pull vacuum before, don’t get fooled.

Normally they are up front near the air filter housing. They look like this (in most RV applications) https://www.amazon.com/Dorman-904-214-Electrical-Vacuum-Select/dp/B001KQF6PC/ref=asc_df_B001KQF6PC/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312462950315&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12688683149966818756&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9007361&hvtargid=pla-493903279818&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=70635887228&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=312462950315&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12688683149966818756&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9007361&hvtargid=pla-493903279818

I replaced my thermostat at the same time. I poured the pre mixed antifreeze down into the block while the t-stat was out, installed the t-stat and filled the rest of it through the radiator cap (also replaced at that time) went much smother.

Do you have Aquahot?

Bandit, both sides of the front tank have air? Ours, while older has a split tank up front, one side is the wet tank and the other front air supply (it looks like one tank). There is a check valve between them.

They do not make engines for on the road anymore BUT they do make replacement engines should you have a catastrophic failure and parts are readily available. I wouldn't be concerned with a CAT product as long as its not a 2007-2009 engine model year with a DPF. Id run from that!

calkins14, we purchased a dinette and sofa recliner from this company. It’s 6 years old still looks new; https://shop4seats.com/?ar_clx=yes&ar_campaign=9940376292&ar_ad=432560301774&ar_adgroup=103084221560&ar_channel=google&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIgYy-k5r-8QIVTGxvBB35TgEyEAAYASAAEgLV_vD_BwE

Wow, you guys hijacked Puffs post and really went off track. Let’s keep it where it belongs.

AMEN!!

I guess I’m spoiled with our first DP. Monaco has the chassis power distribution in a dedicated compartment in the left front. Every wire-fuse-relay is labeled. Right rear has a dedicated compartment for the house. Again, all labeled with a schematic molded in plastic riveted to the compartment door. Now if something happens in between with all of that wire….. 😑

Sorry 🤣 . As I am reading this, this scene was all I could think of.

I work with roadside providers and mobile repair vendors most of my work day. I will say that NONE are any better than the other with respects to RS assistance. You are at the mercy of whom picks up the phone, if they are having a bad day, yours is about to get worse. We try very hard to locate the small local vendors for off site repairs and break downs. The guy with one or two service trucks isn’t likely to be on the large RS company list but hands down will take the best care of you, his livelihood depends on it. YOU just have to locate him.

You’d think that’s more of a reason to diagnose it quickly and order parts, put it outside.

Funny, car and truck dealers operate differently (every place I've worked anyway). Appt, arrive. Pull in diagnose, look over for up-sells and create an estimate, call customer for approval and provide ETA, if warranty, call customer to provide ETA. Put outside, gather parts, pull back in and complete. We NEVER wanted to hold something longer than absolutely necessary. Takes up too much space! If parts on hand and its a quick one, just wrap it all up and get it out of there.

We run the generator and both roof top A/C units when needed. The dash AC draws more fuel than the generator, but the generators maintenance is more costly.

Can you snap a picture? If it’s two wire; https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/reese-towpower-breakaway-switch-with-led-indicator-1102904?cm_mmc=organic_feed-_-GoogleShopping-_-Product-_-1102904 most auto part stores also carry them. As long as it’s not anything proprietary.

DW pointed that out also, the one in the background looks like the storm never happened. Heavier and a much lower center of gravity.

Have Amazon Prime? They might deliver it to him in less than 24 hrs. https://www.amazon.com/Maxxair-503-1504-00-933069-Black-Cover/dp/B002OWCLNQ

I ran Westlake on two cargo trailers, one I pulled them off at 10 years with 2/32 of tread, never had an issue. I never went above 65MPH and the trailer was always level. I can tell you it was at its MAX GAWR all the time, even when parked.

Many RV dealers have those in stock, 4 nuts and its off the roof.

Give them a call. I had a problem with one of My Surge Guards and they sent me a replacement at no charge with a return label for the one in question.

Paul, sounds about right. I had a pickup with that engine and it was consistently at 9.6 - 10.0 mpg empty. Much less vehicle than what you have, same power train. we had a Coachman Santara Class C before the DP we have now and we never got more than 7.0 I even installed a Banks Power Pack, ran better didn’t do anything to the MPG’s.

Same to you! I am smoking a brisket, replacing the steering box in the DW's Jeep and relaxing, so I think anyway
