Your F350 is a class 3 truck according to this chart. This website states it is classed as a medium-duty truck. Ask them to email you proof it is a heavy duty truck.(class 7 or 8)

Wayne, just South of the RV park before you reach US 20 is a large Amish grocery store, everything is sold in bulk, quite interesting for me. You're approx. 300 mi. NNE of me.

I've never heard of steering diodes, and all my LED lights work fine, exterior and interior. I now have 120VAC LED bulbs replacing 12V florescent bulbs that work fine in the living room, they are kinda yellow=cast though.

Some engines use a liquid-cooled air compressor, other brands use oil-cooled. I would first run a pressure check on your cooling system.

Itasca models are also listed, at least back to 1990.

FYI, Winnebago has all the schematics for wiring, plumbing, AV wiring, etc. by year and model on their website from present back to 1990-I think. Here are the updated links to Winnebago service and parts in post #5

Great advice Roger! If I may add, I've read it's a good idea to register those numbers (when buying tires) with the tire mfgr. to help them contact owners of tires with defect notices or recalls. Some dealers do this as a matter of service.

As Carl said, you are working with the 12V system when operating the slides and steps, it does not involve shore power for this discussion. You may safely re-install that manual switch. This does not solve the problem though, it's a work-around. Inspect the steps wiring diagram in that training manual for your model step backwards to the coach wiring to find your power source. My MH is likely totally different, but my step is directly wired to the chassis battery so it works even when the "salesman switch" is open.

Kwikee steps constantly receive 12V positive and are switch via opening/ closing the ground connection by detecting increased amp-draw. Hopefully the Kwikee Product Service Training Manual will be useful.

Right, so why did he mention his inverter? I just realized we're talking about different pictures, I'm looking at the last picture of the 3 battery bank. I think you are looking at the pictures in his next post of the isolater, that wiring appears correct.

Most inverter/chargers are connected directly to the battery bank, I know mine is, through a 300A fuse. Are you telling me his Magnum inverter is not wired directly to the battery bank? All I see are the pos. neg. cables to the house 12V system; and that knife-blade disconnect doesn't appear stout enough to withstand 200A.

The batteries are 2 different brands, the left one is 10 years old per the sticker, I cannot read the other 2 battery dates. Your battery bank is unbalanced and until load-tested you must assume they are bad.Add a new battery to a bank of older batteries and the old batteries will kill the new battery. The momentary battery combiner switch must be held closed manually for the connection solenoid to function, you cannot simply push n release for it to work. ON/OFF can mean different things than open/closed. When the connection is closed the circuit is solidly connected, when open there is no connection. I see only 1 small positive wire(should be same size as neg. cable) exiting the coach battery bank. I don't think that is correct, is that spliced wire the positive wire connecting to the inverter? The inverter should have both pos. and neg. cables connected to that battery bank sized and fused to safely carry the maximum draw from the inverter. This 12V side of life tutorial will help understand how and why everything works. http://manmrk.net/tutorials/RV/12voltSideofLifePart1.htm

Whomever told you that tale really needs to self=educate. Caterpillars largest market has always been the construction industry then the trucking industry. CAT engines are more expensive to have repaired, however seem to run longer overall. That said, I'm pleased with the Cummins in our MH. I think you would be pleased with either engine.

When we bought this MH the ABS light would occasionally come on, I asked by auto mechanic about it and he said he brakes would work just like brakes did before ABS was invented. He continued to say if I wanted the ABS light to only come on at startup, to use my high pressure washer on straight stream from the opposite side and thoroughly wash the backside of the wheels. His suggestion worked, now the ABS light only comes on at startup, when i tested them with an emergency stop I could feel the ABS pumping action.

Now no one has a clog, wonderful news!

Just South of Yahats OR is Sea Perch RV resort, between 101 and the pacific if you wish to walk the beach and the timing is right. It's very scenic and quiet.

I hope Carl aced all the tests! My tests resulted in a quad-bypass.

Yup,, they are installed by the coach mfgr. not chassis mfgr. For instance my 1999 Spartan MM GT chassis, see sig., is on the firewall above the genset.

In 2014 we drove 101 from just South of Portland to Crescent City CA with our Chevy dually towing a 40' 5er. The only issue we had was being too long for some vistas overlooking the ocean if another car was already there. You're sightseeing, drive slower and enjoy the scenery.

Years ago I read about a similar event; that's when DW and I decided nothing goes into the RV toilet but what comes from us. We put all TP and wipes into a small trash can lined with a WM bag. Those that have never put TP in the trash wring their hands and moan about odors, I say there is none or very very little odor( IMO the only odor comes from the scented baby wipes DW uses) from the trash can. The WM liner bag goes to the dumpster each morning. In addition to the bladder that goes on the end of a garden hose, there is a hand-held plunger model that uses compressed air. Water pressure is safer for the operator and much less messy. (voice of experience here)

I tow a 2013 Chevy Silverado 4x4. Everything you need to know about flat-towing your 2012 is in your trucks owner manual under recreational towing. The most important thing to remember is to make sure the transfer case shifting knob has the red N illuminated and transmission is in park after you are all hooked up.

Some forget they are signing a legal contract with terms and conditions. Just as with any other sales contract the purchaser must read the fine print prior to signing. I know of no extended service contract that pays for diagnostic work, nor do I know of any ESC that does not require prior approval for repairs or replacement for anything covered by the contract. Most ESC companies use independent adjusters to visually confirm damage or failed parts prior to claim approval. I know that's how the company that underwrites the Good Sam extended service contracts does business. Naturally this adds time to processing and approving a claim, however without safeguards such companies would rather quickly fail. It's regrettable you've had a bad experience.

I just learned of this tire, it sounds like the wave of the future if the price is reasonable. https://www.continental-tires.com/transport/products/continental-itire

One time headed East in NM the South wind began pushing our old 1976 Allegro around; as luck would have it a exit appeared, which it took. On the North side of the interstate was an abandoned building, behind which I hid the MH from the wind, pointed North. The wind didn't last long but it blew hard enough I could see cars taking the exit too.
