Thanks for that. I've already triggered the arbitration clause (3rd party estimate). I hire an independent appraiser, Progressive does the same. If the two cannot reach an agreement a court appoints an arbitrator. I do have the Indiana Insurance commissioners phone# handy JIC. Today I spoke with the Progressive dept. head of adjusters, he was not at all like the local adjuster, who was arrogant and actually threatening. The local adjuster almost demanded I take my MH back to the first body shop I visited because he had an arrangement with them.(steering is illegal in Indiana)

Yes, Jim. The body shop had began repairs, then the adjuster stopped them and tried to renegotiate the estimate, with long time lapses between phone calls.This means the body shop will not release my MH until their work to date is paid for, and the Progressive addjuster said they will not pay the daily storage fee until this is settled. Right now the adjuster says he will not pay any more than HIS estimate, which is ½ of the body shop estimate. At this point, I'm frustrated and upset.Progressive appears to have a great reputation in the RVing world. Lack of frequent communication on my part is part of the delay. I activated the 3rd party appraisal clause today under the policy terms and conditions

UPDATE: This week the body shop called, the adjuster changed his mind and decided not to pay the amount of the estimate. Now I'm in limbo until things are sorted out. It's been 6 months and nothing accomplished. I called my local agent and he bypassed the appraiser by directly talking to the Progressive manager for Indiana. I was advised, after consulting with someone else to tell Progressive exactly this; "I wish t invoke the 3rd party appraisal clause". I did so, and the Progressive rep suddenly changed his speaking tone and said he will get back with me ASAP. Almost back to square one? Worse than square one_. Drat.

To me, that sounds like a corroded battery cable connection, either on the battery or genset end of the connections. Remove, clean, re-install all wiring connections, especially the ground side of the circuit.

I assume you are not on shore power when attempting to start the genset. That eliminates the converter from the issue. Now it's down to testing to insure battery cable connections are clean and tight. Begin at the battery bank, removing, cleaning, reinstalling each connection at battery bank, then trace the cables to the genset starter solenoid doing the same cleaning/reinstalling thing.. Pay attention to the ground cables, over 80% of all 12V issues are the result of a poor/missing ground, which is half of a 12V circuit. If you see 12V at the solenoid(large terminal) from the battery, test for a 12V signal from the genset start button at the solenoid ( a small terminal). No start signal, test switch. BTW, most circuit breakers must be pushed hard to off to reset the breaker, you will feel the spring resistance, then to on. But that has nothing to do with genset engine not turning over.

Although not as handy, I've overnighted in vacant church parking lots for a rest.

This is a valve stem to fit both rim hole sizes. The adapter grommet is atop the stem resting on the retaining nut. It replaces the smaller grommet shown assembled.

OK, thanks for the edification.

Humm, Wayne you've been left hanging.

I have found rockauto.com best for purchasing wiper blades. Do not search by vehicle but rather the actual part and length. A few years ago I bought replacement 28" wiper blades(not refills) from them for under $5 each.

I cannot find a Coleman 700, I did find a Coleman 7000, which is an obsolete unit. Can you post a picture of the disconnected wires? Your pictures show a properly connected unit. As bill asked, can you match wire color codes and reconnect the wiring?

If a switch hums it is likely due to burned or ill-fitting contacts. Any contacts/mating conductors must have a clean solid contact to eliminate as much resistance as possible. That is why you see the caution on RVing forums not to switch power sources when high-amperage appliances are running. That higher current burns contacts.

Yup, aluminum rims have the measurements stamped on the inner side of the rim. Steel rims are stamped on the inside of the rim, covered by the tire when mounted.

Brand and model of A/C unit?

That is pretty neat IMO. Not to be confused with the OTR trucker reservations system for electricity so the power unit may be shut off for the rest period; as many areas now have no idling laws.

Dual tire spacing; this should be informative: https://www.doublecointires.com/wp-content/uploads/Double-Coin-Dual-Spacing-InfoSheet.pdf Back many decades ago I drove a dump truck hauling coal for my uncle. Back then the rule of thumb was 1.5" between tires at bottom low point so rocks/lumps of coal would not lodge between the tires. Today I'm told that has been reduced to 1" between tire sidewalls on bottom of tires.

WELCOME TO THE FMCA DISCUSSION FORUMS! Open drain valve for fresh water tank, remove drain plug from water heater, open low-point drains, open all faucets, including outside shower. This allows water to drain away, however, it does not mean ALL water has drained away. Although the website does not go back to 1993, https://www.safaritrektalk.com/manuals-diagrams has information about Safari Trek MH's, including an owners manual. I suggest visiting/joining the FMCA Safari owners group too.

I agree with five; it's like dental insurance, you don't need it until you do.

Your description sound like you lost all 12V power. Have you tested with a multimeter for 12V presence? This is all I found searching for Frigi-Cool: https://www.bizapedia.com/tx/frigicool-inc.html I doubt it would be the blower motor resistor, but we never know until we test.

Even with disconnect switches from the mfgr. batteries may not be totally isolated. Things like LP detectors are wired directly to the battery, and are powered continually. Removing the negative battery cables is the only sure way to disconnect batteries.

Roger as always has excellent advice. I might offer an addition to his advice. Once you have the tire serial numbers go to the mfgrs website and register them. The website explains the benefits.

Hydraulic or electric slide mechanism? Brand/ model?

Hello Bill, Sorry to read of your jack problem. Is the brand HWH? If so this will help your accurately identify the model of your leveling system. When you know your model # simply run a search for the service manual for that model. HWH includes a troubleshooting section in every service manual. From what you've described the shuttle valve has stopped working. It moves between two positions to either allow oil to flow back into the reservoir or the other position allows pressurized oil to extend jack cylinders. It's all in the service manual)
