I think when I installed my See Level system it required 2 wires and I had 4 or 5 wires with the original system, been quite a few years ago since I did it. Has worked well all these years.

After fighting in tank sensors for some 25 years I installed SeeLevel system which has the sensor strip on the outside of the tank. Very accurate and give levels in percentages.

Use hydrogen peroxide about 1 pt to 10 gal water into an empty fresh water tank. Run the pump until all faucets have the treated water coming out. Very effective on smelly water. Since the hydrogen peroxide dissipates on its own, just go ahead and fill the tank and use it.

There are jack wheels that pivot down and then crank up to lift the tongue. For that weight they have two casters.

The swollen cables is the corrosion buildup, not a good thing. When you replace everything put a protective coating of some sort on the terminals. I prefer a spray that has a red tint to it and seals out the oxygen and prevents corrosion.

We use to have C to C but never could get into another campground. They only have to take a certain percentage of their spaces depending on how many members they had in the system. We are into Thousand Trails now and this year since May we have used 72 nights in the system. We can stay for 3 weeks and they go to another for 3 weeks, all without any daily fees. Our annual fee is $585.

We have used both. One test I was told about was that the some of the home brands break up easier than the RV paper. Not sure what the RV paper is supposed to do better.

What is your price range? I've seen diesel pushers starting at $10k.

I would call Roadmaster and ask them.

In my opinion an hours drive is better that a cover.

It doesn't sound like a very good shop. They should have figured out why the batteries went dead before replacing them. This is standard procedure that we have been doing in our RV service shop for 30 some odd years.

You need to have an RV service dealer do the install. They are familar with what is required to make it work.

Depends on the pan configuration. Could hold up to 8 qts with a large filter.

Back in 81 I helped form a chapter. About half of the menbers were families with young kids. It was great. That same chapter today has all older folks.

I also heard that.

The GM front wheel drive motorhomes has some problems. The final drive ratio is high, some where around 3.50, needs to be lower such as 4.11-4.30. Ring and pinion is not possible because of physical limitations. The GMC also used a special built 6 kw Onan which had quite a few problems. We were an Onan dealer in the 80's and we serviced quite a few of them. Another problem area was the rear air bags. They would blow for no apparent reason. I was at the FMCA convention back in the 70's at Souix Falls a bag blew, after being parked for several days, breaking the fiberglass fender skirt. It is recomended to carry at least 2 spare bags at all times.

I would check battery condition and charge first. As Wolfe said use a voltmeter.

There are a number of 90's vintage diesel pushers in the $10k-12k price range with Cummins and Cat. Check Craigs list and RVT.com.

OK, I understand.

If you are changing why don't you go ahead and wire in a 50 or 30 amp service. You can't run much on a 15 amp circuit even if it is a dedicated standard breaker.

Not a problem. You have to use the same material and you can weld pieces together. Think of it as steel pieces welded together. Where the original crack was, it is common to weld the crack and then cover the weld with another piece and weld it around the edge to reinforce and make it stronger.

you got that right!

In the mid 80's they were sold in Chevy and GMC pickups and was touted as a good hauler for 5th wheels. Customers were told that since it was a diesel it could pull anything. WRONG!! We installed lots of turbos which help quite abit but there were other problems such as glow plugs that failed, fuel filter problems, etc. That engine made us a lot of money!

How many do they have and what town are they in?

When you are connecting it to the ac, is it a 50 amp circuit or a 30 or 20/15? If you are adapting down to a lower amp you might be overloading the house breaker.
