Although, people have at times called me a lot worse …
Since I did have the Voyager camera system with side view cameras, it was a simple matter of removing the inside door trim on both sides, the dashboard cover and numerous other trim pieces and use the old wires to pull new wires.
Removing the trim pieces sounds a lot worse than it is. All you need to do is to find all the screws, remove them and lift out the pieces.
Pulling new wires is somewhat more interesting because you will find out that the converters were very inventive in how they ran there wires!
In some areas, you need long and slim fingers to get at what you need to get at.
In the end, it is not so bad. A couple of hours of your time will do just dine.
The biggest ticket item here is TIME. Time that you may have to pay somebody to do all this for you.
So, consider your DIY talents and do it yourself!
It took me about half a day to remove the door trim and the dashboard cover, remove/pull old wires and at the same time pull the new ones.
Installing the new side view cameras was easy.
Here are the photos again of my incomplete installation (will be adding additional cameras).
See my original post, too.
Cheers,
Ronald

I’ve done it but it was long ago and I don’t have photos. I assume you have the basic 10,000# hitch and it’s pretty straightforward. I think I removed the bumper but not sure.

Over the years I can say the biggest problem with rear camera monitors has little to do with resolution and a substantial amount associated with where and how the monitor is placed.
There are two problems associated with that on coaches I have owned. The first is obvious and if the position of the sun is just right, the sunlight on the monitor washes out the display. Putting a shade or some type of shield preventing the sun from shining on the monitor helps, such as positioning it where the sun cannot hit it.
The second problem only becomes real evident when using the coach, not sitting in a garage or inside facility playing with placement options. When I am on the road in the coach if the monitor isn’t positioned to prevent reflections the bright sunlight on something reflects off the monitor and back to my eyes. Every coach I have had has this problem and I can minimize it to an extent. My last two coaches reflected my shirt back to me so I learned driving with a light colored shirt will wash out my monitor, but a dark colored shirt will have less of an impact. Certain Liberty owners of vintages similar to mine will know exactly what I am talking about.
So the bottom line is if you are intending to replace a rear camera monitor make sure part of the reason is not monitor placement and angle because even a high resolution image is going to be compromised by sunlight and reflections.

Is the door handle different for an 04-07 H3 45 than an XLII? Excuse the stupid question, but inquiring minds want to know. Thank you.

Mikee,
I got in easily last night. Can you try again and email me or post it. If it happens again I will find out what is going on. Last time TSD changed something on their site (we have no control over that) and that is what created the previous 404.

We take a green mountain grills Davey Crockett around with us . It’s a pellet pooper and I love it!

NY / Conn. border I-84 Exit 2 in Conn. the rest area has a separate lot for RV parking (separate lot for cars and trucks) there is a dump station as well. We usually spend the night there on our trip north to Portland, about 5 hours further.
I would recommend Baley’s campground in OOB.

Allison code 13 is indicating an “Incorrect ECU Voltage”.
There is also a sub code that will indicate is the voltage is too high or too low.
To get to the sub code you will need to enter the “Diagnostic Mode” by pressing the up and down arrows simultaneously twice (2 times). If there are active codes you can expect to see, d 1, then the main code (which is likely 13), and then the sub code (which is likely 12 or 13 or 23). Let us know which code and sub code is present.
Main code 13, Incorrect ECU Voltage
Sub code 12, ECU Input Voltage Low
Sub code 13, ECU Input Voltage Medium Low
Sub code 23, ECU Input Voltage High
As an alternative, if the transmission is seems to be working O.K., you can clear the transmission codes by entering the “Diagnostic Mode” as described above and then pressing and holding the “Mode” button for approximately 10 seconds. That will clear the codes. Then exit “Diagnostic Mode” by simultaneously pressing the up and down arrow keys once.
If the problem persists, the code will reset again and service to remedy the problem is probably required.
Hopefully, someone smarter than me will be along soon. Good luck.

Chris,

PA1541 2nd Edition
EXTERIOR LIGHTING VERIFICATION
Exterior Lighting Test Mode
This useful function allows quick verification of
the vehicle exterior lights.
Activating the test mode:
When the vehicle is stationary (parking brake
applied), pull up the multi-function lever 3 times
within 3 seconds to activate the test mode. This
test can be done when the engine is not running
providing that the battery charge is sufficient
(above 24.4 volts).
The telltale panel alarm emits a sound each
second to remind that the test mode is in
progress.
Stopping the test mode:
To stop the test mode, pull up the multi-function
lever once or turn the ignition OFF or remove
the parking brake. -
Not available until mulitplex coaches. Yours is a bit too old.

I will get better pictures tomorrow and try to explain what has happened. I’ve called it the lock but in reality its the flat door handle that you pull to open the door. When you pull the handle its rotates a cam (not sure what to call it) on the inside of the door that moves rods etc… to open the door. There isn’t a direct replacement for the XL but the one for the XLII will fit the actual cut out, but the geometry has changed and had to be worked out to work. In the first picture, you are looking at the back of the door handle with the cam with the attachments for the rods. The second picture shoes just the back of the handle insert with a hole in the middle, which is what broke. The third picture shows the other side of the cam and if you look at the middle you will see a porous area, this is where it failed and broke of the handle insert. The last photo shows what the new one looks like.

Good morning.
Addition info:
I actually put a deposit down on this coach and now sure hoping it is “normal” and not indicative of an issue. Lost a little too much sleep last night!
Several years back, I owned a ‘97 American Eagle with a purely mechanical Cummins C8.3 and if I recall correctly, seems it too vibrated some and that I raised the idle on it and that lessened it.
Is the idle easily adjusted on a 2006 year model chassis? It was idling at 650 RPMs. Is that the proper idle RPM?
Thoughts appreciated! Thank you!
