    Need a reader survey

    Should I be buying the warm white (yellowish color) or cool white (Bluish white color) LED strip lights.

    What do you think would brighten the dash in the daylight without overwhelming it?

    Mike:

    I used treated 1 x 4 to reinforce my 14 x 14 cuts. I used corner braces with screws which slid under the roof skin on top and screwed the bottom of the boards to two parallel rails running the length of the coach that anchor the ceiling.

    October 1, 2021 at 4:15 pm in reply to: Generator compartment heat venting?

    If there is no venting in the door then you will need 2 holes in the floor. On filtered to keep road dust out and the other with a small blower, like pictured above (4″ exhaust min) to evacuate the air, while drawing new air in. Usually these are placed at opposite corners of the bay if possible so the air flow is over and across the generator body as much as possible.

    The blower can be mounted to the floor but if you can put it on a Pipe to get it as high in the bay as possible is best. Royale Coach would usually put theirs on a 4×4 box made of aluminum.

    Fulltime Bill,

    I have just waded through this thread today for the first time. Am I correct in understanding that the problem was an R14 valve that might be “ahead of the relay valve serving the parking brake” and not the brake chamber as was originally thought?

    Just needed more momentum!

    That first guy wasn’t even close… unless the tires slid sideways down into the ditch.

    I had a hell of a time getting in/out of a campground last weekend with a steep uphill entry. We won’t be going back there unfortunately, nice folks. I had to do a little back and forth and use the level-low. Still managed to damage the generator exhaust tip. embarassed At least that’s an easy fix.

    Thank You, I am almost done with the Undercarriage, I have to replace my Tag lift Norgren, then I am moving to the Country Coach ECC. I have a burnt trace on one of the boards, and a few things are not working. Tomorrow is ECC day!

    This guy sounds like today’s truck drivers…I just hold onto the steering wheel and go on my way…I don’t know nothing and don’t want to know nothing. Then he starts asking questions and doesn’t like the answers. I sure hope I don’t see him on any road I am on as he is a disaster waiting to happen.

    September 22, 2021 at 7:53 pm in reply to: Do H3 Rock back-and-forth more than an XLll

    I have started a 2nd career moving coachs around america for a couple of great dealers. More than I can count on both hands and feet pretty even between XL II and H’s can honestly tell you there is almost no difference in the two coach. I always had the same idea about an H but a lot of experience has proved me wrong. With that being said I prefer the XLII but it’s more the driving position with the driver’s seat higher than the H hope that helps.

    to the person asking about what goes under the plywood flooring in the water bay, Marathon now uses a product called “King Starboard” for the flooring in the water bays. It is a synthetic product that will not rot. Marathon just re-did my water bay and that is what they used.

    September 8, 2021 at 11:24 am in reply to: Discount fuel card

    I just got my card today and signed up for the app. The local T/A savings are 60+ cents/gal! Retail was a little high to begin with, but that brings it down to less than $3.

    Here’s a newbie question for you guys… I was told to only fill up on the starboard side filler unless I want a diesel douche. I pulled into a Pilot that had pumps on both sides, but only had a CC reader and user interface on the port side. I couldn’t figure out how to activate the pump on the starboard side through that interface. What’s the trick?
