  1. 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.
  2. Might be the slave relay on the starter motor circuit.
  3. I used the original wires and mounted the monitor next to the control panel. My original system was not working right.
  4. If you go in the winter you may have to chain up, I did. I've been both in the summer and winter not too bad a drive.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. Make sure the heater valve is shutting off all the way.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. Is having a headset on while driving is legal? I use the blue tooth on the dash radio when using the cell phone.
  15. If you want to know the exact temp install a Scan Gauge, it will give yo the temp in degrees.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. I was at Snowflower TT last week and ran both ACs on 30 amp service just fine.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. I had that squeak on my RG IFS and narrowed it down to the control arm bushings. Never did totally eliminate the noise but reduced it somewhat by spraying silicone in the area. It seemed to make more noise when cold.
  23. In 43 years of motor homing in 10+ coaches I have never gone anywhere without a spare. My last two diesel pushers I installed an electric winch to hoist the spare off the ground and mount into place. It fits between the engine and the side, under the propane tank. I use a 1 inch air wrench and have professional tire changing tools if I need to slip on an different tire.
