    Gary Glad you are relaxing and enjoying yourself in Florida.

    We thought our fridge went this spring. As it turn out the fan had spun on the shaft and needed to be

    replaced. $1000 for the fan and service call was all it cost. Hope you get an easy fix. Rick

    Where are the air tanks?

    September 30, 2013 at 6:15 pm in reply to: floor slide air leak

    Dan,

    Jon already suggested blocking it off and I assume Gil is referring to the exhaust hole on the floor slide valve in the steering bay.

    The slide cylinder is tough to access. I did it on my Royale and had two round access panels on the ceiling behind the front bumper. The Royale had a spare tire in that compartment and once removed, I could lay on my back and reach the cylinder fittings. With the cruisairs in your Liberty, not sure how you can access the cylinder. There has to be a way, “O” rings in those cylinders are a common problem and maybe Troy could give you a tip or two.

    Sid, you are absolutely right about Steve, just wasn’t sure he could do a DPI or if he would send it to Mira Loma anyway.

    September 8, 2013 at 10:31 pm in reply to: Low water sensor

    The circuit for this year vehicle is relatively simple. Off of a bus bar in the rear junction box we supply 24 volts through a 3 amp. fuse to the + terminal of the coolant sensor. The signal terminal of the sensor then goes to stud 55 in the rear junction box that connects to stud #62 inthe front junction box next to the driver and then to a buzzer and the “low coolant” light in the dash. The sensor is an open circuit as long as it is submerged in coolant in the tank. If it comes out of the coolant long enough the contacts inside the sensor close and send 24 volts through the circuit described above. This is simply an alarm and has no control over the running of the engine.

    I can email or FAX you a copy of the diagram D060441 if that would help.

    September 1, 2013 at 9:53 am in reply to: Hot battery

    On my Vantare (2001 but built in 2000), both inverters get their energy from one 24 volt battery which is made up of four 12 volt batteries wired in series and parallel. On my coach, each battery runs to bus bars and each battery cable is the same length to equalize resistance.

    There is a second set of four 12 volt batteries wired in parallel providing energy to all the 12 volt systems. The 24 volt and 12 volt battery banks are not interconnected.

    All 120 volt loads do go through the two inverters if the transfer switch is in the normal position. I can switch to shore power only or genset only if need be.

    I have switched to “shore power only” a couple of times when I was tripping breakers. This took the chargers inside the inverters off line so I could run all my A/C units at the same time and not trip breakers.

    I have since reconfigured one inverter/charger to charge at 1 amp which is forcing the 120 volt loads to be balanced on each leg off the pedestal. I have not tripped a breaker since.

    Ok, good to know, thank you guys! I’ll
    check with Fan-Tastic first and take it from there. Unfortunately, the fan’s
    housing itself has broken at the corner where the motor is, I think the whole
    fan has to be replaced. Chuck the “ribbon putty” you mention, would that be available at camping world? Or maybe at a hardware store? Thanks.

    When it rains we head under cover.

    And when it was sunny everybody relaxed under the awning. Corey and George were playing a George Jones DVD in honor of his passing.

    The rally was too short. But it was great meeting everyone that posts.

    This is not a sure cure, but what about trying to squeeze in some Sikaflex or silicone in between the mount and base? Another thought is a wedge of some sort tapped in to the space and then hide the little gap with silicone.

    I agree with Al, but don’t forget to block and brace before crawling under.

    Cold air temps today probably the reason this thing is leaking loudly enough for me to have been able to pinpoint the source (see pic)…..it is leaking from the top of the little glass moisture collector (with the name Crafstman )probably right at the seal.

    Can you tell me what this item is and what is the function of the air compressor underneath, I know it has something to do with the air toilet but what if anything else and where can I buy a replacement ? Thanks.

    March 22, 2013 at 8:20 pm in reply to: Rand McNally RV GPS for Ipad

    Hi Greg, I have one of the original 3g ipads (it also has
    wifi) it’s a little slow by todays standards but it still works fast enough
    for what I do. With a 3g Ipad (and sim card installed) you can pick up a signal (just like a cell phone) and then “dial up” and get a “pay as
    you go” data plan (no contract). I think you get 255 mb for $14.50 (I’m going by memory here) and if you just use it for your GPS maps app as you are traveling, it
    lasts a long time. But you have to remember to turn it off when you’re not using it so it
    doesn’t continue to suck down your time on the plan.

    What I’m doing now and saving about 400 bucks a month is running my Ipad
    off the “hot spot” data on my iphone. Basically, the att plan turns my iphone
    into a hot spot so I can now connect my ipad (or lap top) to the internet (via bluetooth) where
    ever there is a 3g signal (which is just about everywhere these days).

    I hope I explained this clearly enough. I think I may have made
    it sound more complicated then it really is.

    Gil…I would take Jon’s advice. The H is very different than the XL and our door way may be wider than yours… if I recall correctly ours is 27″ or 28″ wide. Also a previous owner had taken some big stuff in and out of our coach and scuffed up several areas around our dash and doorway so I wasn’t as worried as I might have been had it been perfect.

    Take Jon’s advice by all means !!
