I am on dish and just upgraded to the Travel'r antenna. Get HD and can watch separate shows in the living room, bedroom, and outside with our 3 receivers.
2 minutes ago, wayne77590 said:Steve, I answered your PM. I'm still under the impression that there is no dome satellite antenna on the market that will received DTV HD. With that said, and the rumor that DTV is ending SD broadcasts, I'm guessing that one of the Mfg's will come out with a Dome that will get DTV HD.
Better to bite the bullet, spend the ridiculous amount of money and get a Winegard Traveler antenna.
You may get some answers HERE

Sounds like the same problem I had once with a Winnebago Ultimate . . . Turned out to be a bad connection in the transfer switch.One leg burned and had to replace wire.

These are all things I would associate with the chasey batteries not house. What RV are we talking about? If you add your RV and outher info to your signature it helps to get better answers quicker.

First thing I would do is shut ff the battery disconnects . . . Wait a minute then turn back on.
Did a wire drop down in the compartment that did not get reconnected???

Yea go to Dish pay as you go service

Looks like the edges of the plywood lifting. Is it every 4'

I have them on mine and had them on other motorhomes . . . Good Tire. A lot less $$$ then them Golden Michelins.

Start by turning off the house and chassis batteries for a minute or 2 to reset the controller.
Then turn them back on. Start the coach and wait a minute. Red error light should be gone and slide should move. This happens all the time with our Tour

If someone introduced something other than what is the normal we that poor end user would find anywhere for the next 20 years that would be able to accommodate them. I struggle to locate campgrounds with 50 amps.
A 50 amp coach actually has 220vac coming in on two separate legs (2 -120's) but still single phase.
Load shed, the Energy Management System will calculate power in and power out, if out is asking for more it will automatically cut off items deemed less necessary to provide the request. I leave ours set to Automatic all the time.
It's 240 vac coming in. Two 120 legs.

Is the fan switch on the thermostat set to "on" . . . Should be set to "auto"

There is 1 thermostat that controls water temp. There is no AC specific thermostat which is what you posted. The other thermostats you mention are high cutoff thermostats. Those VAC control thermostats are used on the older 430 series. If he has a 400 or 450 There is only one and it sends signals to the control board.
So I guess we are both right depending on the model

27 minutes ago, jleamont said:My gut tells me its a thermostat issue on the electric side. Ours has a low and high limit thermostat for the electric side. Basically one turns the element on and the other turns it off. Our high limit opened up and cut power to the element back in September. Where Monaco mounted the unit made it a 15 minute troubleshooting experience and 5 minutes to swap it out. Honestly that is the most simple part of the entire unit. Smell form the exhaust would be fuel nozzle or air intake adjustment could be improperly set or fuel leaking from the fuel pump into the combustion chamber.
While performing routine maintenance its easy to bump the air inlet adjustment and knock it out of spec. Depending on the coach manufacture, the air inlet design and where its mounted for access it could be just that simple, don't forget geography can play a role with elevation or even something like a mud bug partially blocking inlet air flow. That was the reason for the year of the coach, might have never had its annual service performed, or it could be new enough not to have needed it yet?
Photos would be ideal.
There is no thermostat for the AC side. There is only one control thermostat that detects when water is too cold. It signals the control board . . . and depending what you have selected . . . diesel or electric . . . It will activate that circuit till temp is satisfied.

When it failed the last time I smelled burned wires inside the cabin. It will work on diesel, but do not want to stink up the whole campground. Talked to Aquahot and the closest certified facility is in Alabama around 120 miles north.
If your Aquahot stinks up the whole campground you have issues. I run mine on diesel all the time and never use electric and no complaints about stinky diesel smell

It should be a fairly easy fix. The control Thermostat calls for heat and when AC mode is on it will activate a 12 volt relay which will put AC to the heating element. There is a high temp cutoff in line.Check the AC flow from relay to element if AC is there then check element resistance.
If relay does not engage controller is bad. . . . Ask me how I know. I've been through mine inside and out when I had an intermittent head issue.

That is getting expensive. A 20 pounder is around $500 to $600 last time i checked

I use a peplink Surf SOHO Router. It gives me the ability to go into the configuration and wirelessly connect it to a hot spot or campground wifi. That way all computers and printers stay on my internal network and the router connects to the external network.

Egr cooler comes to mind. Really need to do a pressure test. Dont run it as antifreeze will eat the bearings real quick like.

I'de put in a call to Tiffin. Maybe a defective batch. Play it up a bit. They may even repair those for you for FREE.
Tiffin does stuff like that.

They have to pay out for all those RV's damaged in the storms while maintaining their profit margin.

Is that on a Spartan Chassis . . . Maybe a call to them could help.

From what I've read on some of the internet reviews the parks were run down and needed upgrading.

It can tow neither my 2010 F150 nor her 2015 RX350. We are considering replacing my truck for a Toad. The decision trauma is Tow Dolly vs Flat Tow. I'm considering Flat Tow since I'm buying anyway. Considering a 2015 Ford Focus Hatchback to be as light as possible (~2800#).
Question: If Flat Towing, does the vehicle rack up miles on the odometer? No doubt it wears on tires and bearings. My thought is a tow dolly would save on the vehicle's tires, bearings and mileage if Flat Towing adds to its odometer.
I'm sure the answers are out there.
Thanks in advance!
Safe Travels!
Vehicle does not rack up miles while towing. Using a tow dolly is a lot more work than flat towing.

That is what I was thinking but could not remember module name.

I know there was some discussion some time back and the air module in the back with bad solder joints or something like that.

My dome . . . Which was from 2012 . . . Received both SD and HD but the dish had to move. Right now the Travel'r is in manual mode and locked to just 61 as it would not see 119,129 due to trees and I get everything HD. Old dome would only receive 1 eastern arc satellite
