  1. Where do you go in Az? I live in Lake Havasu City.
  2. Since its fiberglass you need to power buff it out and wax it.
  3. See if there is a propane shut off valve next to the furnace, mine has one.
  4. I know a silverado is a larger truck. The point I was making is that it tows well so that the colorado should do the same.
  5. We have towed a 99 silverado coast to coast, border to border over 80k miles without a problem.
  6. Is the body really twisted or tilted to one side? Twisted is when the front corners are not parallel and in line with the back corners. Tilted is when the body is lower on one side than the other. If the frame is level is the floor level? If it is not then leveling the floor to the frame is in order. If you tilt the frame with air bags or spring changes, you could upset the handling of the coach.
  7. There is a tool which is available from Sealand/Dometic. It a looks like a flexable tongue depressor with roughness on one side. I have used it about every 4 or so months of toilet use. Problem solved.
  8. I would stick with solid metal extenders. I've seen too many flex types leak.
  9. Does the gen crank and run? It sounds like the starter pinion is broken. Its made of plastic and breaks somewhat frequently. Unless you are driving, the fridge will kill the batteries before morning.
  10. When mine was changed out they scraped off all of the old sealer and then applied the new sealer from a caulking gun, it resembled black silicone. Fit was better than the factory original. Trim is almost perfect. Company was RV Solutions but they use local contractors. The contractor in Elkhart which replaced the defective new glass was very good. He came back two more times to make the trim rubber perfect.
  11. I'm not sure what your question is. If the new windshield is replaced the same way as the original one was and you hit a speed bump the same I would suspect the same break would occur. This is because of body flex. Two piece windshields are a little more forgiving because of the center joint. As far as the warranty from the installer goes, they cover water leaks and defective glass. I had both of my windshields replaced at the Madison FMCA convention and two days latter I noticed a delam on one of the pieces. I called and had it replaced in Elkhart the next day.
  12. Pilot Road Ranger stations do not honor the rv card.
  13. More important than the low milage is how it was stored, inside with heat or? and what part of the country. As for mileage it depends on the engine type. Diesel will get better mpg than gas. You will probably get about the same as your class C with gas. I drive a 32 ft with a Cummins ISB towing a Silverado p/u and averaged 11 mpg this year 6000 miles.
  14. Check voltage at the non working light fixture. If there is 12 volt present then the fixture is bad.
  15. I would retest it with another voltmeter of known quality such as a Fluke. Inexpensive meters sometimes are fooled by inverter output. Just a thought.
  16. Your original tires are low profile. What you need to do is get the same diameter as the original tire. Generally if the first number increases one or two sizes and the second number decreases a size the diameter remains about the same.
  17. If the frame is level the body might be crooked. Years ago I had a Pace Arrow which sheared the mounting screws on the right front side. The body drooped. The fix was to jack it up and refasten the body to the edge of the floor.
  18. I'm not saying its right but I don't believe everything I read or hear. Proof of that is this discussion. That's why history is important.
  19. I would wait at least a year after the car has been out and see what the history looks like with it being towed. Remember the cars are designed to be driven not towed.
  20. Since this is your first trip I would suggest before you leave take a short trip for a couple of days to get the hang of it. Make sure you understand how all of the systems work. Even just staying in your driveway for a couple of days would be useful. If we are traveling across the country we usually stay at a Walmart or Sams Club. They have an atlas which has all of their locations for $6.97. I drive about 6-7 hours a day, about 300 miles. Take your time and see this great country.
  21. You might try swapping the two breakers that way if the problem stays on the front there might be something wrong with the ac or wiring, if the problem moves to the rear it might be the breaker is tripping before it should.
  22. Did it ever work? If so maybe in the menu it is switched to do another function. Just a thought.
  23. I'm not saying what the manufacturers are doing is right, just the opposite. My experience in dealing with major manufacturers and all their recalls and almost weekly service bulletins has led me to the conclusions that the consumer does much of the "testing" in the real world.
  24. Is it being reset each time? Push the button on the bottom and then drive it and see where the indicator goes.
