  1. Approx. 15-20 MPH is maximum safe speed with chains. EDIT: I was wrong, CALTRANS says 25-30 MPH. https://dot.ca.gov/travel/winter-driving-tips/chain-controls and https://dot.ca.gov/travel/winter-driving-tips/chain-controls
  2. Did I understand you right? You said the central vac system has even been replaced??
  3. Ross is right, the full-width flap will kick up road debris and stones if 4" or less from the pavement. I'm getting set to remove my full-width flap and install dually mud flaps behind the rear wheels, 4" from the pavement JIC I must drive crushed stone roads again. Dually mud flaps are quite inexpensive at truck stops, and it only took one to do both sides for my MH. I cut it in half and punched new holes in the bottom half for bolting to the MH. Even with only my full-width flap, when I start my pickup we tow, the electric radiator fans come on at full speed for approx. 3 minutes after unhooking from the MH.
  4. Welcome to the FMCA discussion forums! The place most suited to supply you with the correct answer is the FMCA Beaver Ambassador Club. https://beaveramb.org/forum/
  5. Looks to me like the Newmar retrofit was too close to that refrigerant line is the root cause, then normal road movement did the rest.
  6. The LPT39 troubleshooting and repair manual somewhat offers some insight since you do not have an inverter.
  7. And he's never been back to respond to replies.
  8. I suspect the heater valve is stuck/broken. It shuts off/ turns on hot water when the heat/cool control is used. What happens when you select max-cool instead of normal cooling? JIC you find it helpful: https://proairllc.com/pub/media/pdfs/et5-Dash_All_Electric_HVAC_System_Service_Manual.pdf and: https://www.btrac.com/documents/svc-manual-revision-i-feb-2011.pdf MH charge information: https://www.proairllc.com/pub/media/pdfs/eti-Refrigerant Charge Information - R134A Systems.pdf
  9. I was replying to f433951's comment about amp-draw; I have a 1999 Norcold that still works great.
  10. The motor and pump are held together with 3 bolts, that's what works loose and allows fuel leakage. On the ISC/ISL block the lift pump is above the starter, you can feel it but not see the pump. The ISC and ISL use the same block, it's stroked to increase C.I. from 8.3 to 8.9L. Since I can feel the fittings I should be able to get a wrench on each fitting from below to make sure they're tight, and also check the pump bolts JIC. UPDATE: Every fuel connection is tight, no visible signs of diesel fuel anywhere on the engine, and it has not repeated that single occurrence during 3 day-trips.
  11. 2A @ 120VAC = 20A @ 12VDC, when AC voltage drops below 120V amp-draw increases.
  12. Thanks for the suggestion I'll do that when the temperature subsides, right now over 90° and high humidity every day. It's rough on an old man with COPD. Next week will be in the mid 80"s and lower humidity - or so the local weather girl says.
  13. Thanks for the information, now I know what to do If my Xantrex RS2000 begins acting weird.
  14. have you contacted https://visonerv.com/ yet? Beforewarned, they are expensive, you'll pay close to the same as for a new part.
  15. Clarification; It is not a warranty, it is by law an extended service contract with terms and conditions in fine print. That's what get people upset when a claim is denied, they didn't read the fine print prior to signing nor did they follow the terms and conditions for filing a claim. Somewhat like health insurance for humans.
  16. Cummins Great Plains replaced the lift pump, fuel distributor module and transient suppressor in July 2020. 1999 Spartan chassis, rest is in my sig. I can view the lift pump by opening the door and sliding in atop the engine without having to remove the engine hatches. That's how Cummins replaced the lift pump, plus removed the starter to access the pump from below. BTW, turned out the old lift p;ump only needed the 3 bolts tightened to stop the gasket leak between pump and 12V motor, but Cummins Great Plains service manager said they would not work that way.
  17. Obviously your (Norcold 1200XX series?) refrigerator works, just not well. Are the two circulating fans running on the back of the refrigerator when the fridge is in operation? If not you must pull the fridge from the cabinet enough to access the fans and the controller. reference: Norcold service manual; and for re-installing your fridge, Norcold installation manual Often mfgrs. do not properly install an absorption refrigerator chimney and it will not cool correctly. Rather than pull my fridge I just added an optional blower-type fan when i installed a Fridge Defend/ARP protection unit. After I installed the ARP unit and option blower fan I had to reduce the cool setting to prevent freezing the milk, and my beer. Above all, an absorption refrigerator must be within 6° front-to-back, and 3° side-to-side as looking in the fridge.

    INSURANCE CLAIM

    It costs nothing to file an appeal with Safeco and request it be elevated to the next higher level. BTW, in my opinion it takes more than a few weeks for wood to rot from a one-time event.
  19. ST. Brendans Isle is a mythical island according to Wikipadia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Brendan%27s_Island
  20. Carl I went underneath today, couldn't find any clean or wet spots in the vicinity. The only fuel stuff there is the secondary fuel filter, which also has a WIF sensor and drain in the bottom. The primary fuel filter is at the extreme rear of the chassis frame, so it couldn't have been the source. I started the engine and let it high-idle for perhaps 10 minutes, when i shut it off there was no fuel draining. I'm wondering if the secondary fuel filter also has an automatic drain that is activated when the sensor detects water in the secondary fuel filter??? I know the primary filter must be manually drained, I'll do that tomorrow morning when its not 95° and 89% humidity yet.
  21. Got home, shut down engine, walked back to unhook truck, smelled diesel. Looked underneath and a pencil-sized stream of fuel was draining from somewhere in the vicinity of the lift pump. It stopped after approx. 20 seconds.
  22. US 50 is an alternate route since I 70 is closed due to landslides.
