Interior Speakers in 2008 Melbourne 29D
desertdeals69 replied to MikeMarie's topic in Type C Motorhomes
More than a wiring diagram you need an owners manual. -
Check the amp draw on the furnace to see if in spec. Check battery voltage at the furnace and at the interior light circuit and at the battery. Any drop between the battery and furnace or lights probably means bad connection or too small of a wire.
-
The radio and cigarette lighter should probably be on different circuits. Radio about 5-7 amp fuse and cigarette lighter 15-20 amp.

I just remembered I saw dozens of wheels at Colaws last summer.

Check with Costco, they can special order Michelins. I just got 235/80r22.5 for about $400. They do not mount or balance but I do that myself so that was good for me.
-
Check with Alcoa and see if they still make a wheel that fits. Is there a mfg name stamped on the wheel?

You can wire through a storage compartment into the coach. Thats the way I did mine.

Age Old Question: When to Stop RVing
desertdeals69 replied to MarYJac04's topic in General Discussion
The same thing is true with rving. I carry spare parts, tools and at least one spare tire, 2 spares if on a long trip. We are in the motorhome for 6-8 months at a time. -
It should not effect the abs because it recalibrates itself when the ignition is turned on and it starts to roll. This takes care of tire wear and other factors, etc. If you are looking at a truck tire such as Toyo expect a firmer ride because of the more rigid sidewall. Because of the different diameter you will need to have the computer reset because the revs per mile will be higher, for the speedometer and the odometer to read correct. If saving that much money is more important than the disadvantages go for it. I did about 9 years ago but went back to the Michelins because of the ride and mileage factor.

Residental Refrigerator Problems?
desertdeals69 replied to sammebuck's topic in Systems and Appliances
I can't explain it but that's the results. The inverters run everything else. I may try to run my home refrigerator to see if it works. -
I would think you need to shield the sun with some kind of roof. Maybe a simple framework with fabric.

Sounds like a problem for an Onan tech. -
Residental Refrigerator Problems?
desertdeals69 replied to sammebuck's topic in Systems and Appliances
I tested it with a Xantrex Prosine 2000, Xantrex RS2000. both pure sine wave and a cheapy 750 watt just for kicks. I don't know it the model I tested was defective or the compressor was not compatible with inverter use. -
After some investigation I have found out that the test that was written up was done in 2004 using the old cotton media. This media performed well if properly oiled. In 2006 Mr Spicer was invited to K&N test labs, and he went and witnessed the testing procedure that they use. They were using the synthetic media that does not require oil. The result were quite different than what Mr, Spicer had witnessed in the other test. The testing standard ISO 5011 Is just a test protocol for the test technician to use. There will be some differences in the conclusions. Since the main product that K&N manufactures is air filters I would think that they would build the finest product possible.

What part of the country are you located?

Residental Refrigerator Problems?
desertdeals69 replied to sammebuck's topic in Systems and Appliances
I tried to run a Frigidaire 10 cu ft on my pure sine wave inverter and it would not keep running. The compressor quit and became hot. Plugged it into the house and it ran fine. Glad I didn't install it first. -
Electric Steps Don't Stay Extended When Switch Turned Off
desertdeals69 replied to MikeMarie's topic in Type B Motorhomes
I think you need a new controller. -
Have you coach painted, use your credit card and then fly to Hawaii on your flier miles. Thats what I did this past fall, as a matter of fact I went twice. Was there for a couple of weeks over thankgiving and then came home. 2 days latter my sons car broke so I went back to fix it.

Electric Steps Don't Stay Extended When Switch Turned Off
desertdeals69 replied to MikeMarie's topic in Type B Motorhomes
I have a Kwikee 2 step that is prior to 1999. I just bought a controller for the newer steps and had to change the wire connectors and the door switch which needs to be a normally open not closed. Works perfect. -
The receiver doesn't know what dish it using only if the signal is there. You need to hook the coax between the dish and the receiver.

Good thinking Herman!
-
Push them and then plug in.

If you can't put it in a garage I would build a shelter of at least a roof over it. The worst thing I think you can do it cover it with material. Its heavy and hard to manage, being a 3 or 4 person job with ladders etc. Also you need to provide ventilation or you will get mildew and mold plus the abrasion between the fabric and the coach. Mine is in a garage for storage and also I do a lot of work on it.

With the inverter on you save on propane and also the Directv receivers stay live and don't have to boot up when you plug in.
