desertdeals69 replied to travelenman's topic in Toads-Towed Behind Motorhome
Vehicles with manual transmissions seem to have fewer problems when towed 4 wheels down. -
4 Wheels Down Or Tow Dolly
desertdeals69 replied to travelenman's topic in Toads-Towed Behind Motorhome
If you go into Canada you will need to have brakes on the rear axle of the vehicle if it is on a dolly as well as the dolly wheels. -
With electrical problems you may be getting into a can of worms. A clue is that they don't want to fix it.

While cranking check the voltage at the battery and also the cable, those voltages should be the same.

Trying To Find Air Bags For 1997 Monaco Dynasty
desertdeals69 replied to fighterpilot's topic in Chassis
Are they for the front? I have a pair of front bags for a 98 Freightliner. They are 9 inches diameter top and 7 inches tall without air and the plastic cone in the bottom. Top has a 7/16 stud and a 1/2 pipe female thread port. -
Battery Charging: Inverter/Charger Not Working
desertdeals69 replied to sundancev's topic in Electrical
I would have the inverter/charger checked out. You might want to upgrade to a pure sine wave inverter/charger. When you turn on the charger the battery voltage should rise. -
I have been using Centramatic balancers for about 12 years with about 3 sets of tires and never had a vibration. I have a computer balancer in my garage but I quit balancing the wheels when I installed the automatic balancers.

Take the intake hose off and hook up a hose and put it in a bucket of water to see if it pumps ok. If not there is something wrong with the pump. If it runs ok then there is a restriction in the tank/plumbing.
-
Make sure there is no kinks in the hose next to the pump and make sure the hose has not come apart inside.

Make sure your odometer is correct. Check it along the highway that has a check section in tenths of a mile.

If you slow down to 55-57 you will get the best mileage.You should see an increase of about 25 %. I drive my diesel pusher 32 foot towing a Silverado 1500 and get between 10 and 11 mpg going 58-60 mph.

From Bellingham to Haines is $69.10 per foot and maybe a surcharge for over 96 inches wide. They measure from the very front to the rear of the toad. 50 foot would be about $3500 plus passengers about $337 each.

Towed Vehicle Battery Drain
desertdeals69 replied to gwjohnson's topic in Toads-Towed Behind Motorhome
There is a 65 foot overall limit on length in most states. -
When we looked into the marine highway we thought it was too expensive so we left our motorhome in a campground in Burnaby and they shuttled us to the cruise dock in Vancouver. We did the inland passage for 7 nights and then the campground shuttle picked us up. We then left for Alaska for 5 weeks of driving and sightseeing.

Towing 04 Jeep Liberty.. 'Park' or 'Neutral'
desertdeals69 replied to jimbjimb's topic in Toads-Towed Behind Motorhome
Maybe if it is in park then the trans won't turn. -
Solid metal extentions are the best. I would also have a TPMS system such a Tire Minder. They work great.
-
I use the system by ezgo golf carts. It has a 1 gallon resovoir that is mounted higher than the batteries with a on off valve. Just open until the clear tubes are full and shut off and look at the level indicators on each cell. If not all full open the valve for a few more seconds.

12 volt or 120 volt?

24 Volt Conversion To LED On Bus Conversion
desertdeals69 replied to MarkBond's topic in Type A motorhomes
You could wire 2 in series or use a resistor. I think I have seen 24 volt leds at the consumer electronics show in Vegas. -
I would consider LED fog lights because there is no reflector. Extremely bright with different light patterns. I been testing several different ones and they are amazing.They come in different sizes of round and rectangular.

You have the right idea on the wall repair. I had to do the same to a couple of areas on my coach. After cutting out the bad part and making a rectangle hole I took a router and cut down 1/16 inch about 1/2 inch in and inserted a 1/16 inch plywood. I used model airplane plywood but if you can't get it you can use 1/8 luan and do the same routing on the back side of the new piece and it will fit flush. I used waterproof glue.
