RV PORT IDEAS / SUGGESTIONS (CARPORT)
desertdeals69 replied to eric@babin.com's topic in General Discussion
in 1988 I built a garage on my vacant lot that is 32ft x 64 ft with a 15ft ceiling. Has a 14 ft rv door and a 7 ft double wide car door. I moved my metal and woodworking shop into it along with the motorhome. I then built my house using the shop equipment. I think the cost was around $30K. -
No mess at all, don't spill a drop. Just put the hose in a bucket and have someone start the engine and then when 6 quarts come out yell shut off.

Just pour it in.

It looks like you can catch 101 around the Port Townsend Wa area. It travels out to the ocean and then south along the coast. You catch 1 in northern Ca. Making it through the bay area on 1 is something I wouldn't like to do. Like going through New York city.

Georgetown will "sorta" crank and not start.

Might be the slave relay on the starter motor circuit. -
I used the original wires and mounted the monitor next to the control panel. My original system was not working right.

Cummins 6.7L overheating issues Forest River Berkshire 2009
desertdeals69 replied to thomandcoley's topic in Engines
My 98 ISB has a solid mount fan so I don't have to worry if its working or not. I think they started putting clutches on when there were complaints that the fan made noise like a B29 going down the runway to take off.- 45 replies

If you have lights they will never be accurate because of the internal contacts. If you want more accurate you need a system like See Level with external sensors.

I talked with an engineer from Allison and he told me the way to get almost a complete change the first time is to undo the cooler return line at the transmission and put it in a bucket then fill the trans 6 quarts over full. Start the engine and then have someone watching the bucket and when 6 quarts comes out shut off the engine. Monitor the oil level and adjust accordingly. I guess thats not public knowledge because of liability. I have done it this way on 2 of my transmissions with good results. Thats the way they do it at the factory.

Directv takes the oval dish with a SWM 3 LNB. You can do a roof mount automatic or a ground mount on a tripod. HD uses 3 satellites, 99, 101, 103. You will have to have the HD receiver to match. I have both the roof mount auto and a ground mount for when I'm in the trees. You can receive all the channels you paid for.

When we were still changing out ACs we would charge 1 hour labor per unit. My guys could do most of them in 30-45 minutes plus clean up of 15 minutes. We used a fork lift to get the exchange accomplished.

Its my understanding that rv toilets are designed to be mounted over the black tank with a straight shot down. Any bends will create resistance. We have serviced some trailers with plumbing that has bends and the owners experienced some problems. The cure seemed to be to flush more often with a smaller load.

Make sure the heater valve is shutting off all the way.

Stayed at Pla Mor about 6 years ago in a borrowed motorhome while ours was getting painted down the street at Mike's Custom Painting. Were there 2 12 weeks. Toured Newmar factory. -
Unlimited internet
desertdeals69 replied to chuckconnie's topic in RV Internet to Go/Staying in Touch
I believe mine is 15 gig on the MiFi and 7 gig on my phone hot spot before it slows down. When I asked how much extra the data was I was told $30. I'm at 30 gig now on my MiFi but most of the time the speed is not too bad. Reset in 3 days. -

If you want to know the exact temp install a Scan Gauge, it will give yo the temp in degrees.

There is a step switch near the door, just flip it the other way and the step will close when the door is closed and the engine is not running.

Water Heater Electric Side Failed
desertdeals69 replied to brown774's topic in Systems and Appliances
The heating element should be replaceable. When mine failed it was the thermostat on the tank. Replaced it and it has been working ever since. -
I was at Snowflower TT last week and ran both ACs on 30 amp service just fine.

Make sure it has a shut off valve because if it is left open driving down the road causes the valves to seep and over fill the cells. You might need to see the top of the batteries to know when the cells are full. My recomendation would be to install AGM batteries so you don't have any maintenance.

I would check the stamped date on the case as some retailers affix the date sticker when they want to, such as Sam's Club.

No fittings, they looked like urethane. This was a 2000 Reyco Granning IFS that I bought from Spartan and installed in my 93 Spartan metal spring chassis. I changed the suspension to air and also air brakes.

Sounds like a bad ground.
