Herman Don’t feel bad, I still struggle with ours in the beginning of each season. I still can never remember which switch flashes the headlights and which is the ICC lights. I alternate both when I need it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wayne77590 Report post Posted February 8, 2020 My first attempt at intermittent wiper took about 5 minutes to get it to work intermittently, then I wanted to speed it up so it was another 5 minutes. Luckily it stopped raining so when we stopped I used the SWAG principle and found out that one push will sweep the wiper and then depending on when you push the button again it uses that setting for the timer. Wonderful ingenuity and I'm happy the manual said something about it. I think there are a few more button pushes for intermittent wipers that I have not found yet. Give me time, I've only had it for 2 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted February 8, 2020 So far I have got them on and the washer to work. Haven't tried intermittent yet. I checked the blades and they put new blades on. Here is something to make you smile. The outher night I was thinking about things on my check list from the walk through. I realised I had never tried the dash air. So I dropped by yesterday to see how things are going and to try the ac. All is good, they got the latch in for the washer and installed, but they are waiting on a motor and parts for the awning over the door. I didn't know they had written it up. So now the only bad thing is the completion date has been pushed back to Thursday. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildebill308 Report post Posted February 8, 2020 Sad but true. I think leaving it there till everything is fixed is the best. They keep fixing things I didn't know were broke and it is on their dime. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted February 8, 2020 Bill, grit your teeth and let them spend $$, the motor for awning and labor is a couple of grand, been there! Your eating away at their over inflated profit margin and you will, one day, drive out with a great rig for the $$$. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fact I still keep a 3 x 5 card up front with the directions for the wipers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wayne77590 Report post Posted February 9, 2020 I really like the way the intermittent wipers work on my Freightliner chassis. Push the button, it sweeps once. Wait until it needs it again and push the button again. Intermittent time is now set. Wish the car was that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is a good idea, I may have to do that too. Wayne, now I want to go back to my coach and try to make my intermittent wipers work. New forecast finish date is Wednesday - Thursday. How come Amazon can do same day delivery and outher places someday, just saying. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jleamont Report post Posted February 9, 2020 Wayne, I believe that is part of the Smart Wheel technology. Ours is the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted February 10, 2020 Joe, I have had the same wiper system since 1997! Allegro, Southwind, WB Tour, Allegro Bus, AC Tradition! Smart Wheel is placing controls on Steering wheel instead of Column or dash! 😁 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wayne77590 Report post Posted February 10, 2020 Yep, smarter wheel than me technology. Just about everything is smarter than me technology. I wondered for a year or more how the LED lights came on in the outside front of the motor-home. Accidentally pushed the AUX switch on the dash and voila, LED lights.

wayne77590 Report post Posted February 25, 2020 Stay off the pike and just head West on US-2. Much more scenic and less traffic than the crazies on the Pike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rayin Report post Posted February 25, 2020 👍 US 2 is mostly 4-lane and lightly traveled IMO. If one goes online to state's visitors bureau to find things to see you can spend an entire summer within 100 miles of US 2 and be on the go every day. The most unusual thing is Havre underground.
