Anyone have a recommendation for a Workhorse service shop near the Clearwater, FL area?

I generally do all oil and filter changes myself, but would like to find a qualified and competent shop to do pm and repairs as needed.

Thanks,

Thanks, I'll be sure to follow your advice! Also, thanks for the video link!

[Roof inspection and sealing frequency]

I'm wondering how often should the roof of my class A be inspected and new chaulking be applied? I live in southern Florida and the MH is stored without cover.

Thanks Richard

Thanks, you make a good point about the noise. I may just keep the dash fans for spares and go with the one suggested.

There are a number of 2 speed 12 volt fans on the market that have a 2 speed switchs built in. Just Google 2 speed RV fans.

Good luck and stay cool.

Thanks Herman, 

The Bergstrom fans I have are two speed, however they do not come with a switch so I purchased a couple of 3-position switches at local Auto parts supplier.

Another fan option-- quiet, long life, but more $$.  We use them on our boats as well as motorhomes.

And at 6.5 watts power consumption, you should have no problem just tapping into 12 VDC wiring for lights. Particularly true if you have changed the lights to LED's.

Thanks Rich, but I already have the fans. They are both 7" / 2-speed Bergstroms (same fans as my two factory installed dash fans).

Bob,  Key issue is the fuse size used in the 12 volt circuit for the headboard lights and the current requirements of the fans. The other is the wire gauge and the length of the wire run from the DC power panel.

It might also help to install LED bulbs in the light sockets because they draw way less current.

You might try Carling for the switch , the other source  to look is Waytech they supply a number of items for the transportation industry.

Rich.

Thanks, good suggestions! I'll check both fuse requirements and wire gauge!

I would like to install (2) Bergstrom dash fans at headboard in bedroom and wondering if I can utilize the power feed that is going to the 12v headboard lamps? Also, would anyone know of a good source for acquiring 2-speed switches for the fans?

Thanks

[Connecting my MH to a 20amp house outlet]

Thanks guys! I've done this in the past but wasn't very comfortable about it. From now on I'll just run the MH Generator if I need the AC while at my house.

[Connecting my MH to a 20amp house outlet]

Can I connect my MH 30amp main cord with an adapter to a 20amp home outlet and run my AC units without doing harm to the units or my MH electrical system?

Thanks for the suggestions. I was able to get the service manual downloads from Workhorse/Navistar!

 

[Replacing 4 way Flasher Switch]

I have a 2004 Fleetwood Southwind 32V on a workhorse chassis W22. The 4 way flasher switch located on the steering column needs to be replaced and My question is do I need to remove the steering wheel or can the plastic column covers be removed without removing the steering wheel?

Also, where could I purchase a new switch and does anyone know where I might be able to get a workhorse service manual for my unit?

Thanks,

Bob Anderson
