    Hi, I just replaced both headlights with these from Amazon. The lights are still dimmer than  would like and I will look at different bulbs next. My lights were glossed over and cleaning kits didn't help much..

    Thanks to all who answered this post!

    I put a Single Battery Disconnect Switch (on/off) at the negative wire coming to the battery bank. I disconnected all the batteries and checked each one with the volt meter before connecting the switch. All were reading the same voltage. I wire brushed every connection and put dialectic grease on all the terminals and reattached everything. All is good. I ran the genny and it is now at 12.8 volts at the batteries. I have put the Single Battery Disconnect Switch OFF along with the salesman switch OFF. I will check the voltage in a few days and see where we are...

    Camping World had a 300 amp switch and a large blade on/off. I purchased both and ended up installing the 300 amp switch.

    Thanks again guys!

    Hi Guy's,

    I will go to the storage lot tomorrow and pull it forward so i can open the trays and make sure nothing is on. I will check my meter, it is a pretty new and good one.

    There is no electric at this storage location, it is a nice place and the owners are super so we want to store the unit while at the house.

    I will pull up a chair and clean all the Blade connections and put some diealectric grease when I reconnect them.

    I will take her out for a good run and have the batteries at 100% and then see what Lifeline has to say..I have read just about everything lifeline has on their web site, also did searches..

    Will see about disconnecting the Ground connection and test later..a couple of days..

    Thanks a bunch....great folks on this site..

    Hi Kaypsmith,

    The coach new had (4) 6Volt batteries when new and the PO had to have the battery tray rebuilt and they put in the Lifeline batteries at that time, 7/11..

    I will be checking with Lifeline on Monday to see what they have to say on a test or why they are acting the way they are.

    We arrived in FL on Wed and went to the storage area, batteries at 100%, at 4PM. Thursday back to the coach around 2PM and the batteries were at 75%. On Friday we went back and the batteries were at 50%. I started the genny and ran for about 1 hour..Back on Saturday and they were at 50%. The battery disconnect was OFF...Nothing was on.

    The batteries are VERY expensive and are rated super but should have longer life for what they are..They have been drained due to power outage a few times...but.

    I will need 4 new house batteries. I have read many posts about the different batteries and I am still confused..

    Looking at 6 Volt Golf Cart AGM..Better than buying 12volt?

    Some Mfg's do not have dealers in the area..I would like to buy where they will remove the old ones and install the new ones...(bad back)

    In the Ocala FL area and I have checked with some RV locations and they are at crazy prices..

    Your thoughts...

    Thanks,

    George

    We want to upgrade to Flat Screen TV with KVH TracVision L2/S2 but after speaking with a dealer of the KVH products they say it will be a BIG job. First KVH L2/S2 is no longer updateable/supported by them and are obsolete.
    The coach has DirecTV with (2) converters. The previous owners disconnected them and there are no instructions for them. We have DirecTV Genie at home and were planning on putting them in the coach when traveling.

    Has anyone replaced the old TV's with flat screens using the KVH L2/S2? What do I need to do to make it happen?

    OR....

    Just buy a portable unit and forget the roof mount KVH..

    Went to the coach this morning and set all the settings on the control to the defaults according to the manuals. Started the Generator from the control panel and after it was running, switched ON the AC in zone 1 and the AC in zone 2 OFF. I took a walk outside and checked some things and the AC started and ran fine..Really didn't change anything....Go figure

    Thanks for all the help, guys!

    Hi Everyone,

    I have a Onan Quite 8000 Generator in a 2005 Country Coach Allure 430, the AC works on shore power, but when connected to only the generator it runs but never goes to load..

    I can start the generator and it runs, it shows the sine wave, reads 18-24 volts output but will not rev up and go to full load and start the AC. It shows 0 faults on the Silverleaf screen. Fuel is fine, batteries are charged, line circuit breaker is ok and on.

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    I filled the gas tank before we arrrived at the weight station and I filled the propane tank, water is at 30%. There will still be some items to go in but not too much..

    That is pretty much what I was thinking on doing. It was because of reading how "low tire pressure" can cause major problems I was not sure. I am going to go with 95 Front and 90 Rear or 95 Rear...

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    Just had the 2005 Country Coach Allure 430 DP weighted today and here are the weight values. Air bag shocks.

    Front Axle: R Front = 5830: L Front = 5500: Total Front Axel = 11330

    Rear Axle: R Rear = 9760: L Rear = 9860: Total Rear Axel = 19620

    Total 30950

    Tires are Michelin XZA2: 295/80R22.5: DOT 2713

    GVWR = 34200: GCWR = 44200

    GAWR = 14200: GAWR = 20000

    The Toad is a 2012 Honda CRV:

    Front Axle: R Front = 1050: L Front = 1000: Total Front Axel = 2050

    Rear Axle: R Rear = 750: L Rear = 700; Total Rear Axel = 1450

    Total Axle Weight CRV = 3500

    I am confused as to the tire pressure I should be running. Load & Inflation table from Michelin shows the following:

    Single Axle: 80 = 11320: 85 = 11880: 90 = 12440: 95 = 12990: 100 = 13540: 105 = 14080

    Dual Axle: 80 = 20060: 85 = 21060: 90 = 22060: 95 = 23020: 100 = 24000: 105 = 24040

    What do you folks feel the best pressure for the best ride would be based on the weight?

    Thanks Guy's!

    This is well worth your time to watch. It covers a lot of what new MH drives need to know. As far a pulling back in the lane after passing, there is a good tip given:

    Measure 3' in back of your MH and put something on the ground. Mark the rear camera screen with tape. Have someone pull your tow vehicle in behind the MH and they slowly back it up until you just about lose sight of it in the rear camera and stop. Measure the distance from the MH to the vehicle and then you can mark the screen or make a note that when you are just about to lose sight of the vehicle behind you that is the distance..should be safe to start to pull in. (They explain it better than I did.)
