This is a photo with the grille pulled out. Notice the outlet in the top rear. The power cord is not yet plugged into it. With the cord plugged in the grille will not close avoiding a potential fire hazard. The grille is not fully extended because it would hit a post in the garage. It extends fully beyond the bay door.

Below is a photo with the grille closed. The drawer unit below holds spare parts and was on the top of the driver’s side first bay. I needed the full height of the bay for our bikes so I relocated the drawer unit. The balance of the space is storage.

I hope the Liberty guys don’t hear about this. It’s in all there sales contracts that no one is allowed to serve TUBE STEAK from one of there coaches. The burgers are acceptable cause I know Jon would only use Kobe beef in them.

Remember. If with the CC crowd you get prime rib!!!!!:-))

Jon,

I will keep a hose just for the Gray water hookup. I plan on attending some festivals and stuff like that and will have to dry camp a few days at a time. And use it whenever there is a Drainage area close that will not impair the public.

What did the Dave Matthews Band do ? I was parked beside one of His H3’s in Nashville at a repair facility about a month ago.

What do You use to polish Your Copper ?

Thanks

Rocky

Go to a web site called superbrightleds.com and look for there automotive bulb section. They will have a cross refrence chart showing you which bulbs to buy for each different bulb you have. Be sure for amber light buy the amber bulbs and red for red and so on. If you put white behind a red lense it will look pink and white behind an amber lense looks funny too. Every bulb on the outside of my coach has led bulbs with the exception of the side turn signal lights. The led bulbs for this application are not bright enough for use in the daylight.

Two experts have answered and they are spot on. You as an owner can do a lot more than you realize without picking up a tool. Look at the gauges. Are all the indications where they should be, and if so burn those images in your mind so if the gauges start to depart from normal, (even 1/2 needle width of movement can be significant) find out why.

When you check your oil is it cloudy? Do you get a faint odor of diesel fuel? Those are clues that need follow up.

Is the oil consumption stable? Is it smoking at times when it never did previously? Has your fuel mileage changed?

One more thing that few owners take as seriously as needed………The two stroke engines for some reason are sensitive to cooling system maintenance. Change the coolant as often as required and use only coolants that meet the Detroit spec. Keep an eye on SCAs with test strips.

An 8V92 is a great engine. If you feed it clean air and clean fuel, and keep it clean internally by changing the oil routinely, and you never ever overheat it you may never wear it out.

I should have mentioned how we got them out. The constricter rings are press fit, but not that tightly, with three tabs to keep them lined up inside the fill tube. One of the guys I was “consulting” with on this problem had a somewhat heavy-duty “slide hammer.” Basically, it’s a long rod with a flatened hook on one end and a stop on the other. Inbetween, a metal cylinder that slides on the rod. Hook the ring and slide the cylinder back until it hits the stop, and work it loose. A word of caution; have some needle nose pliers and a telescoping magnetic pickup handy (we used both). We almost lost one of the rings down the fill tube and into the tank. Fortunately it hung up and our telescoping magnetic pickup was long enough to retrieve it. BTW: I have no idea what the purpose of these rings is/was, but when they went away so did my fueling problem, at least on the passenger side. Testing the DS will have to wait for the next fill up.

When two people meet Jon, one is buying and one is selling.

Regardless of what it might be (IE: Tangible item, bus, truck, motor car and opinion of sorts).

You will never find a guy in America who would actually admit to what it was that he paid for a bus, truck or car. A man is set up to portray himself as “always getting a good deal” and to never admit that he got screwed in the proces.

It is just human nature.

I agree however, it would be much, much better to know what things cost. They say knowledge is power, and by knowing the apparent value of something, that would of course lead to a better price of the product in the end.

XL locks on the 3 coaches I have owned are nothing but old style Ford door locks that any good lock shop has a variety of lengths and can re-key to match the rest of your locks. The coach I just bought came without keys ;just took one lock out to shop and he made key to fit all. In fact needed 3 extra locks and he did them at same time. Bob.

order a new lock cylinder

Not a Techlink expert, but the Cadet heaters have an over temperature reset button on them. You slide the unit out and it is on the top. It might also be burned out. I have replaced two of mine.

Have we heard from Sid Tuls lately?

Rocky,

I am a lurking electrical engineer on this site. I just read thorugh this thread and I think the previous poster hit the nail on the head.

I agree with him that you are very likely experiencing a high resistance, or even an open neutral. The refrigerator is most likely just shifting the voltage and it is probably not part of the problem at all. Just image any device you have on the coach that is turned on and normally gets 115vac is subject to receiving up to 200vac or more under the right conditions. There are not many things that can take that without damage. Your 220vac devices will be undamaged.

I would take this super seriously and not sleep until I found the bad neutral connection. During that time I would not use the generator or shore power. You may have caught this before much damage has been done – I hope so. Good luck. Russ

The freon has been recharged and it is still doing it. It could be a faulty high pressure switch according to the diagnostics page in the Cruise air manual and the RV “repair” place. Since mine has the older 2 knob and a slider control panel it cannot be replaced as that part is obsolete it will have to be updated to the newer control panel assembly.

I am taking the coach to Transport AC in Fort Myers tomorrow, hopefully they will have the solution.

Talked to Sean: They found a bad relay in the box Above the Batteries in the Engine compartment. It was passing partial power to the condensor motor. If you condensor motor is dead I have a low hrs replacement. Trade or cheap. Bob
