  1. Huff, Is there any chance that the stop command from the AGS is not a long enough duration to shut the generator down. Jim
  2. Huff, The only load that I put on the inverter is my residential refrigerator, the maximum DC current draw from the battery bank that I have observed is 10 amps. I'm have a remote thermometer with MAX and MIN temperatures that I'm going to install to determine what temperature are in the compartment. I need to review my Magnum Manual to determine what their ambient operating temperature range is.
  3. I have the same inverter/charger that in mounted in same compartment on my 04 Holiday Rambler Endeavor PDQ, however my compartment has no form on ventilation. I up graded circuit board in the inverter/charger and the software in the remote unit several years ago when I installed the battery charge level option. When I changed the circuit board I didn't find an signs of dust accumulation in on the circuit board or in the unit, I have a residential refrigerator and I run the inverter continuously when driving down the road unless it is so warm that it requires the roof top ACs. Not sure if I'm running on borrower time, but so far so good. Jim

    Airbag deflation

    My brother-in-law just replaced his on his MH, He had to buy the complete rod, couldn't just find the ends. Jim
  5. I damaged the right rear storage door on my 04 holiday Rambler it was cheaper to have a sheet metal shop to fabricated one than to purchased used from either of the salvage yards that you have mentioned. I expect that you panel may have more contours and may be more difficult to duplicate, Jim
  6. The front Hankook tires that I just replaces had been in service 7 years (35K miles., I had the dealer inspect them when they removed them and no damages was found and tread left on tire 80%. The tries weren't balances and it drove great, no vibration. Jim
  7. My out the door price for two tires was $937, I purchased them in Oregon (no sales tax). I made an error on the size of my tires in my first post. My tire are 275/70R/22.5 Jim
  8. Go to the BENEFITS page and it will walk you through it. I just purchased the same size front tires for my coach stayed with the same brand that I have been running, Hanhook. My previous one were their AH 12 and they are no longer available, they have been replaced with their AH 37. The AH 37 is a 18 ply where the AH 1 2 was a 16 ply, don/t see any difference in the ride.' I purchased mine from local dealer, the price was competitive with the FMCA price, just seemed like less hassle/ Jim
  9. The microwave receptacle was one where the solid copper wire was only pressed in a slot on the back of the receptacle. Fortunately I was able detect poor connection before it over headed and no damage was done to the ROMEX wire. I was able to replace the receptacle with a 20 residential one with attachment screws. Jim
  10. I would make the repair with resin and cloth then use tint able bed liner for finish coat. Jim
  11. I remember riding with my grandpa back in the 60's and he had a wedge fastened to his accelerator pedal. It was just made with a piece of wood. Without the block he could only reach the pedal with the tip of his toe. These were the good old days, great memories. Jim
  12. Huff. Magnum has facility at Paine Field in Everett WA. Not sure what their capability is. When I added the battery Load option to my inverter/charger they uploaded an newer software version to my remote. At that time they were moving some of their work to another of their facilities, that's been a couple of years ago, know there is an authorized repair dealer in Portland. Jim
  13. You might try checking with companies on the US side of the border who import agriculture equipment from Mexico. I spend some time last year In Juarez and saw several truck loads of new and used farm equipment on lowboy trailers that could transport your MH. Jim
  14. Attached are 2 picture of my 04 Holiday Rambler PDQ battery compartment, hope it helps you. Jim
  15. There is no misalignment and the vertical seal is parallel and equal on both ends when closed. Just before the slides reaches the fully closed position the inside edge of the side actually rises about 1/4"but when you release the IN switch the slide relaxes a small amount in the open position. It appears that the when the closing forces that compress the sealing surfaces a small amount and once the power to the motor is interrupted the slide move a small about before the brake sets to secure the slide. During tis small movement you can see the slide settle a small amount that would cause the imprint in the carpet. I'm going to check the brake to see if there is an adjustment. After 15 years of use, I not surprised that the brake hasn't some wear. Jim
  16. Huff, Thanks for reply, I'm sure that I close the slides while still connected to shore power, but normally start engine to fill suspension after closing slide. If I start engine before retracting slides it will retract jacks when starting engine and coach will usually become unlevel and have difficulty closing slides that are traveling in uphill position. Jim
  17. Only way I can see that it could happen is if they are turning in on in the AC mode, not the propane mode, the electric element could be the causing the breaker to trip Jim
  18. Over a period of time I have noticed that the footprint of the slide is more visible in the carpet when slide is open. With a little effort you can vacuum the carpet and remover the imprint, It appear that the slide has settled over a period of time. There are adjustments that are visible to adjust the outer wall of the slide, but not for the inside, The vertical sealing surface are parallel to side wall when in sealed position. My style of the slide has a flexible strip covered with the slide carpet to provide the transition between the slide and fixed coach floor. Owners manual only reference for adjustment of slide is to contact local dealer. My manual doesn't identify the manufacturer of the slide mechanism. The bottom of the slide appears to a piece of white plastic material that provide a friction free surface and two exposed rack and pinion rails. Any advice on adjustment to uniformly raise the side 1/4" would be appreciated. I have searched the internet with no success. My coach is a 04 Holiday Rambler 40' PDQ. Jim

    New Tire Balancing

    Have been running Hanhook AH 12 tires on my 04 Holiday Rambler for last seven years (50k miles) and none of the tires were balanced. I never experienced any vibration and there was no unusual wear on tires when removed due to age. I replaced them last week with Hanhook AH 35 and also had them mounted without balancing. Just completes a 1K mile trip that included driving freeway and secondary road driving and there was no signs of vibration or noises. When purchasing both sets of tires (different dealers) both dealers were neutral on the need to balance or not and recommended to drive them for a while to determine if it was needed. . Jim
  20. You should be able to determine if the inverter is providing a portion of your 110 v AC load by checking the load on you coach 12 DC system. Jim

    ABS warning light

    I was able to locate ABS control module and the red fault lamp was illuminated. Following the instructions in owners manual I was able to reset the fault lamp on control module and ABS lamp in the dash cluster. Drove the remainder of trip (150 miles) without an ABS warning. All is well for now, thanks for your responses. Still would like to have a list of fault codes if anyone has them. I know at some point in time I will need them. My owners manual is quite complete, however it say to contact manufacturer for fault codes. When following the diagnostic instruction, I got a code (1 blink pause 1 blink) which per instructions indicated that no faults exist and that system was functioning properly. Jim

    ABS warning light

    Haven't checked yet, will check this e evening. Was waiting until I had list of codes. Jim
  23. Does anyone have codes for 04 Holiday Rambled Endeavor with Roadmaster 8R8R chassis. ABS warning light came on when driving slow when entering paved surface from gravel shoulder. Jim
  24. All of the RV hydraulic jack on motor homes (3) that I have owned have had single acting cylinders (single hydraulic lines on each cylinder) and depend on either internal or external springs to retract. Leaving the cylinders in the extended position for extended periods will weakened the springs over a period of time. Jim
  25. Great job, looks like a 2019. Jim
