  1. I have been in contact with FlexSteel about replacement of the upholstery on seat of the Euro chair in my 04 HR Endeavor. The upholstery has held up well in my coach, the issue with the Euro chair was caused by my dog scratching. FlexSteel has responded to my inquire and has acknowledges that they have the pattern to fabricate the covering and had requested that I send a sample of the material no make sure it will match the arms and back of the chair. Will keep you posted as this progresses. Jim

    Inverter Died

    I have the same Magnum inverter/charger as Ray and have has no problems with the TV's or microwave, I did have to replace the electronic board in inverter/charger and up grade the remote software to accommodated the Magnum battery monitor. These upgrades will support the generator auto start if I ever decide to install it, Jim

    Inverter Died

    If you look at the specifications of both PSW inverter and MSW inverter you will find the MSW inverter is more efficient at any given load. I expect the efficiency of the equipment being powered by the MSM inverter will be less effecient than it would be when powered by a PSW one. Jim
  4. Did you miss a few 0 in your total cost? Jim
  5. What voltage do you get at the Diagnostic Connector terminals A and H. Jim
  6. Most likely the electric problem and gas problem are not related. The gas problem sounds like a bad thermocouple and the electric a heating element failure. Jim
  7. NEXUS has been around for a while building Class Cs. Jim
  8. Looks like all of the damage is on the terminal block at the BLACK wire. #6 wire is rates for 50 amp loads. The wiring in the the picture doesn't look like like # 2 or #4, I would make sure that the replacement ATS has correct size terminal block for wire installed in your coach otherwise you will not be able to get a good connection. Jim
  9. I recently tightened the tension on the slide toppers and found it to be a relativity simple task if you have basic mechanical skills. You can fine several detail instructions on U TUBE that lead you thru the process. Jim
  10. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all !!!! Jim
  11. Carl, you must pack a load of batteries, my buddy has 8 in his all electric rig,
  12. Brett, My Holiday Rambler was wired like Carl's when I purchased it used. I removed the stock solenoid that you could parallel the coach and chassis with a momentary switch on the dash. I replaced the solenoid with an ACR and now both battery banks are charged by either the inverter/charger or the chassis engine alternator. The 2 banks are in parallel when and when the voltage of each bank is=>12.4v, when either bank drops below 12.4v the ACR drops out and doesn't parallel the batteries until the chassis battery or the coach battery voltage is >13.6 v . The only draw back with the ACR you have to make sure you don't have the chassis engine running when you have the inverter/chargers in the charging mode because will have the alternator output and the charger output tied together. I just have to make sure that when the generator is running or when I'm on shore power that I don't have the inverter/charger in the charger mode. I've only forgot this on one occasion and I got a ALT FLT light on the dash, no damage was done. Jim
  13. Yes, I have worked in BC on several times and used US credit cards.always got a better exchange than at the banks, I just booked a cabin at fishing lodge in BC on US credit card and was charged US dollar even thru all billing was in Canadian dollars. Jim
  14. I just saw an article who had similar problem and he drained a pint of the hydraulic fluid out of the reservoir and added a pint of SEA FOAM automatic transmission treatment and cycled the jacks a few time and it corrected his problem. He then change the hydraulic fluid. Since reading you posting I decided to look at the fluid in my leveling system and it doesn't look real good real dark in color for automatic transmission fluid. Coach is 16 years, I've had it for 9 and haven't changed it so it is probably long over due. Jim
  15. You might consider fabricating a device to secure the 2 jacks in the up position as a temporary solution until you can determine the problem. Do the jacks involved have external spring to retract the jacks, if so it would be simple? Jim
  16. Sound like you just need an old fashion carburetor cleaning. Those carburetors are simple, just dissemble, remove all jets, float and needle valve. soak overnight in carburetor cleaner(or place in ultrasonic cleaner) blow out all passages and you are good to go. If you are a novice just got to YOU TUBE and you will become a pro. Jim
  17. We are also staying at Desert Hot Springs at Sky Valley. We won' be leaving until late January, we check in on 1 Feb. for 30 days then heading to El Paso to visit our son who lives in Juarez MX . When traveling thru OR we always include a stop at Seven Feathers, it's one of our favorites or second stop is Premier RV Resorts in Redding . As you can see, we are in no hurry, Jim
  18. Huff, I also read the same link, I refrained from including it in my post. I didn't want to muddy the water any more than it is. I would be traveling thru mid January when going south of a couple of months, When are you heading south? Let me know how it works for you if you pass thru OR before me. I think the prices on EFS today were less than the last PUC prices. Jim
  19. I have seen so many conflicting stories on the pricing in OR I decided to call TSD to get the straight answer. They informed me that the daily prices posted on the EFS app includes OR state fuel tax and the pumps in the truck lanes reflect this price. Please speak up if anyone has actually purchased fuel in OR and can versify that this information is correct. Jim
  20. Has anyone purchased fuel in OR with your TSD account? Just wondering if the PUC tax is included in the posted price on the EFS app. I thought you had to have a PUC permit to use the truck lanes. Has has anyone caught and flap about having your PU in truck lanes? Jim
  21. After reading all of the comments on the different ERS providers , doesn't look like any of them have a five star rating. Personally I believe all of them are a crap shot, but a necessary evil. Jim
  22. OR requires attendants to pump your fuel except for motorcycles, however the rtecently relaxed their law and allow you to pump your own on the east side of the state in small rural towns. Most places will start filling filling diesel tanks, but will allow you to remove nozzle when finished. It't been on the ballots several times to let you pump your own, but never passes. I believe the only other state that prohibits you from pumping your own is VT. Jim
  23. I saw a post on the Monaco Facebook Form that if you go in and present your EES card that you can fill up out front and get the EES discount. Fortunately the lines aren't as long in the trucker lines in the NW. Jim
