  1. Unlevel related... When she says we are not I cook breakfast the next morning, when the eggs slide to the side of the pan I make sure she's not watching . She get up to look I jump in with ahhh you helping, she sits every time . moral of the story.. being level is healthy for your refrigerator, helps you properly evacuate your tanks and most importantly helps save marriages. So Doug pick up some of the block kits, Lynx has chocks also the interlock with their levelers, they work great when you are blind backing so you don't roll off the end of the leveler pads. Some sites are very off, which has always frustrated me. I have sites where my hitch was buried in the gravel and my front bumper was at my waist.

    I can only copy the image from the screen, not sure if it can be emailed. From experience its usually the Multifunction switch on the column. Check all fuses and do the hazard lights work?
  3. dpersch, welcome to the forum! I'm a bit surprised that was the response you got from the previous owner. You will need someway of leveling it for comfort and to make certain the refrigerator is level for proper operation. You could purchase a crank jack system and a set of Lynx Levelers. I found ourselves pulling the coach onto the blocks often and dropping the manual jacks to give it that little bit more to level it and it also helped stabilize the coach so it didn't bounce while walking around inside. leveler pads; https://www.amazon.com/Tri-Lynx-00015-Lynx-Levelers-Pack/dp/B0028PJ10K/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1524598098&sr=1-1&keywords=lynx+levelers We had a 31' C and it was equipped with this model on the front and rear that appears to have been discontinued https://www.amazon.com/BAL-26151C-Front-Class-Leveler/dp/B002P2RVGM/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 Latest BAL KIT for a Class C http://norcoind.com/bal/products/consumer/leveling_products/LevelingSys(SJ-1&2).pdf When on blocks make certain you have both rear wheels carrying the weight, not just the outer.
  4. dld0209, Welcome to the forum! We have stayed here and it suited its purpose; http://www.libertyharborrv.com/ No FHU but they do offer honey wagon service daily. Convenient to the ferry (across the parking lot) and it drops you at Ground Zero for $7.00 per person We also had no problems navigating the roads to get there with a 41' motorhome (no Toad). Once we were in NYC we took cabs everywhere.

    Busman, welcome to the forum! That's all of it, good luck!
  6. I used these products on the last coach, everything except the roof, which had the tape and Dicor. Side windows and seams were all redone by me with these products; https://usa.sika.com/industry/en/industry-markets/transportation/bus-coach/01a601/01a601sa02/01a601sa0202.html By poor design of the exterior trim if traveling in the rain it would wick its way under the seam trim and lighting (especially the bunk area) and delaminate. All I have to say is I feel bad for the next guy that has to remove anything on that coaches body, that stuff was so strong you could remove screws after it set up and it wasn't budging.
  7. Roger, is your roof rubber or fiberglass? I was told silicone products are harmful to the rubber membrane of a RV roof, thus requiring Dicor. Flex Seal I am not familiar with whats in it and if it would be the same as silicone.
  8. Jerry, Welcome to the FMCA forum! Kiley is no longer supplying the brackets per this post and if you scroll through there is information on how to order them.
  9. I will.... GOOD LUCK! Sounds like you can handle it armed with information and proper materials. Please take photos it might help the next guy with their project.
  10. Thank you for reporting back, glad you found a good shop!
  11. YUP, do it often, restroom break, cold drink and beef Jerky, i'm good
  12. I saw this on Facebook yesterday. In a coach of your size, pull the slides in, head over to shelter just in case. Trailers tend to flip with non tornado winds for some reason (must be weight to wind sail ratio), you see it often especially campgrounds close to water over here on the east coast. Stay safe my friend!
  13. Nancy, when it was serviced do you know if the following were addressed? Spark Arrestor cleaned Spark plug replaced Air filter replaced Oil changed Fuel filter replaced Is yours fueled by gasoline or LPG? If you have the paperwork it might help to look down the parts list to see what was done when it was serviced, it could help narrow down the possible culprit.
  14. Wayne that MPG is good, probably get better as it breaks in. coach is beautiful, love the property also.
  15. I don't believe so Wayne. TPMS would be the best choice. Dbenoit, you'll be fine. Hit the road and enjoy that coach. I am very familiar with your area of travel, should you have anymore questions fire away.
  16. It is still there, I rode it in 2013, only available in CA, no longer in FL.
  17. Careful, this is kind of like the food service industry, one has to have the certification, doesn't mean its the same guy working on your coach or the one prepping your food . You will often find there is one person in the shop carrying the weight of the place with certifications, might not be a technician, could be the service manager. On the back end they fudge the paper work so "Master Tech" works on all work requiring certifications and to carry the sign on the poll out front, often times this person hasn't picked up a tool in years. Very crooked industry. I can remember one time I worked for a large dealer, went on vacation, returned, two weeks later I get a comeback repair, for the life of me I didn't remember this truck... (good vacation huh??) the history on the work order was dated the week I was on vacation. They tagged my ID to it to submit for warranty as I was the only one carrying the certification to make that repair on that engine. Joe, its a dice roll, you locate a place that does well for you, stick with it, if you have an opportunity to meet the tech, get to know him or her. Build a name/face relationship, it goes along way! If like most....move onto the next one and roll the dice again. Forums like this and social media might help you eliminate some if not most headaches. I had many customers that would actually call me and avoid the service desk, didn't want the hassle, politics and to be treated like a number.
  18. Sad to say but the industry is headed into a downward spiral all over the USA. Few years back everyone was preaching you must go to college, most that could handle it followed. Of the remaining percentile less than 1% has the intelligence to process this advanced technology, while another portion of this 1% is bailing out of the industry as it typically lacks benefits, retirement or decent pay and the hours can be terrible. Unfortunately you don't get it all in most cases which is all contributing to the shortage of good mechanic's and its extremely difficult to find a good Technician. Unless something changes its only going to get worse.
