Puff, there is a formula that OEM’s use when pairing driveline to GCWR and GVWR. On a motorhome id be more concerned as the chassis manufacturer has no idea what the coach builder is going to install with regards to wind drag and weight.
You considering trading in for a new coach?

I took the cover for the motor and gear assembly and inside was full of bees and bees nests. I clean out the mess and pulled apart the connection and put them back together. Then I ran it out and in a few times and work fine. I replace the six # 8 screws with new. When i had to work the awning back and forth to come loose the gears was cutting through honeycomb. 😃
, that’s crazy!! Glad you figured it out before the motor was ruined!

Roger, great old find! I asked our Michelin rep yesterday to dig into it.

So if I am understanding this correctly, the rest of the fuse box has power but a few fuses within the box do not?

Any fuses in that box have power, or does that fuse box have power coming into it? Sounds like a power wire is either not connected or accidentally connected to a ground.
Do you have a volt meter?
-
Check the fuse panel that controls those items and make sure you have power on those circuits. That should be a simple check to make sure there is power across the fuse.

jacks up, slides in if they are hydraulic. Otherwise when you do close all of it up you will have an overfilled situation and fluid pouring out of the reservoir vent. If you are not sure on your coach, I would call the coach manufactures hotline with your vin number.

Steve, Welcome to the FMCA forums!
it sounds like your slide could be out of adjustment. If you need replacement seals there are several aftermarket options. Can you attach some photos? Here’s one of the rubber seal suppliers;

Perfect, thanks Brett!

From my perspective because of the annual threat of tropical storms / hurricanes, the Texas Gulf Coast is a great place to visit but not live permanently. My choice for Texas living any time of the year would be the Texas Hill Country.
Mike, what Counties/towns would be in the Hill Country?

Are you on Facebook? There is a Monaco group with several for sale at any given time. "Monaco RV Owners Group" if you are interested.

Kdotson, did you walk on it and press down where it’s lifted? I’m curious if it felt like you were pressing down on plywood or just air?
Hard to tell but the awning side repair looks suspicious from the photo.

Ron, while I cannot speak to the 8.1 GM I did install it on a Ford V10 in our last coach and many kits on diesel pickups over the years. Their quality is superior, installation wasn’t bad and the performance was great. I really didn’t get any MPG increase in the motorhome. I did get a 2 mpg increase on my old diesel Ford pickup as long as you could control temptation and keep your foot out of it.

That’s odd..but if it works now so be it!!
enjoy the 15 family members, hopefully the weather is holding out for all of you!

I believe that outer cover un-snaps and exposes the plate that is screwed in. I would try it by hand first. Can you access the back it? Pull a drawer out etc?

Patrick, post a photo of the switches in question.

The fridge display seems to be clearing up also.
Puff, was it bound up or do you have a motor on its leg?

Brian, thanks for getting back to us.

I had to google the Shaper Origin to see what it is. That is one neat wood working tool! Wood working and Metal fabrication are two (besides camping) of my favorite hobbies.

Bill, I have always wanted to see a rodeo. This one is probably 1.5 hours from home, we pass it every time we head to the New Jersey beaches;http://www.cowtownrodeo.com/
My late grandfather was a Brahma Bull rider when he was younger, always wanted to watch and see what that must have been like. He limped with a cane until the day he died

Tires have come a long way!! I love those BFG tires, so far they have proven to be a good choice. Hopefully Tireman will see this and chime in, he would be the right guy to bounce your questions off of.

Just now, richard5933 said:Since we have a manual 4-speed transmission, my concern is more low-end performance.
Yeah, I can understand that.

Related question...
Original spec for the coach was tires that spin at 495 revs per mile. Our current tires are running at 490. Many of the tires under consideration run at 487 revs. Am I correct that I will never be able to tell the difference between 495 and 487?
Well.....my speedometer is 4 mph off from my actual speed. My coach was built with a tire that was a 499 and now is a 486.
