Looks as though I needed to add a slash (/) at the end for the (.com) to be included. Thank you. I’ll remember that.

I have tried to correct the link, and it works now. You can type the link into you web browser. By the way, Chuck Stuart has been very responsive to phone calls and emails. I have been able to get complete install appointment within 3 days. A short service item that you need probably will be less than two hours. If you decide to go there, their location is near the northwest corner of the Elkhart airport. Just a little east on CR6.

Usually, FMCA does not promote an item as a benefit unless the provider agrees to not provide the item at lower price to other groups. I think that a provider like Seven Corners can add a comment in their Family RVing advertisement about other services they have available. That or a seminar put on by VAS is probably how I knew that Seven Corners sells Travel Insurance.

Don’t know where you are located, but STUART’S in Elkhart, Indiana can provide service. I have had them install HWH on three different motor homes. 574-262-0225 or 800-826-6267 or cstuart@rvleveling.com. Home page: http://www.rvleveling.com/.

Log into FMCA.com. Go to search bar Type in travel insurance. You can read and download the Seven Corners brochure.

Possibly two problems. The pump has a check valve to keep shoreline from backflowing. Also the city/fill valve may be leaking through to fresh water tank. The pump is probably the easiest to fix. A new head is about $20 and just screws on. The valve may have clamps on the lines that may be hard to remove and replace.

That insurance has been available for members for, I think, as long as we have had FMCAssist. But I don’t know if the rate was less for FMCA members. I purchased it for our trip to Alaska and back. Back then I think it was $1.30/person/day.

First, what does your manufacturer state is the proper procedure? Mine states level 1st and then extend slide outs. I have had 3 motor homes, and they have all been the same. But I have read that some manufacturers recommend extend then level. I think it depends on how the RV was assembled.

When I had this problem, I was told by HWH that there was an electrical problem. After tracing through the circuit starting at the brake sensor line, I found that the ground wire nut at the pump and control was 2 turns loose. Tightened it and all is well. Suggest that you trace power at the control and pump before doing much else.

OK. Start out as I posted above. Just don’t follow the second breaker steps.

I think you have two output breakers. If you turn both off, can you then turn on the inverter? If it trips the 30 amp breaker then you probably have a problem with the converter/charger in the inverter or wiring to the batteries. If it does not trip, try closing one if the breakers. If it trips breaker, the problem is in the attached circuit. If it doesn’t trip breaker then open that one and close the other breaker. If it trips, you now know which circuit has the problem.

I took a short piece of 1.5” aluminum angle, trimmed with saber saw and file to match old latch. Drilled one hole and pop riveted in place. Oh, I painted it black also.

Since it is a diesel, do not start unless you can travel at least 25 miles. Running at idle will not get the engine and transmission hot enough. Otherwise, let it sit. Keep the batteries charged, keep fuel full and add biocide if it will set more than a couple of months.

The reason I asked is that I just installed 20 LED fixtures in my shop, garage and kitchen which are 120VAC. Some of them are surface mounted. I was considering opening one to see if I could eliminate the electronics that change the 120VAC to probably 12VDC. If I can I would install two 48” fixtures in our motor home to replace the small ceiling fixtures in the living and kitchen area. I had changed those to LEDs a couple of years ago. While there are 4 strips of 6000 LEDs, they still don’t put out enough lumens.

Did you modify a 120vac fixture to be 12vdc? If so, please detail the specifications of the fixture and steps to modify.

I have found when we have that problem lubricant is needed at all points of movement or a little steel wool to clean the contacts in the door frame.

Once you purchase and have a need for service, make the call. According to the president of the parent company that provides this service, if you think the representative on the phone isn’t doing what you think should be done; hang up and call again. There are 2,000 services that answer the phone not all are really familiar with the services that are to be provided to you. Many don’t even know what a RV is or the different types that require different handling. That being said, be sure to read the contract; because those are the services and limits that are provided.

I don’t know where you are located, but I have had 4 windshields replaced by Duncan Systems. They have a very large warehouse and installation facility in Elkhart, Indiana. 574-584-2238. They have authorized installers across the country. I had 3 installed at the warehouse and another at Perry, GA. They do many installations for various manufacturers in the Elkhart area. The only thing they asked was that I not drive out if their lot fir 3 hours to be sure the sealant set.

Edited. Tge should have been the.

The 2019 & 2020 Chevrolet Equinox’s needs the same. Looks like Chevrolet is standardizing on this method at least until they change.

You are correct.

May need capacitor(s).

I do not have a Tiffin product, but on my motor home the engine generator charges the chassis batteries then when they are charged the house batteries are charged. So it all depends on how the manufacturer has set up the charging system. Also, if there is a battery minder, all the batteries may be charged at once, but at different charge rates.

Actually, I know what was on mine. They were Monrow. Since we bought our coach used with 3,000 miles on it, I doubt that they were other than original.

I use and like the Koni FSD shocks, also. Much better ride than the OEM shocks, but I don’t know know brand those were.
