Must have been a quality rag back in the day Davy, it held up well.

If your Cruiseair fan is set to Continuous instead of Intermittent, the evaporator fan will run anytime it’s on. I always changed mine to Intermittent so the fan would shut off when temp is reached.
Go to Video’s of Interest and on page 4 is my video on how to change the SMX fan setting.

Very nice post Harry, if I may, I second your comments.

Meanwhile back at the ranch.
Had turbo rebuilt by Midwest Turbo Connection Hudson, WI. Total cost $332. Can’t say enough good things about these folks. After they took it apart and evaluated everything, they called and discussed next move. They applied the $65 evaluation cost to the rebuild cost. Came back like new. Long way from the $$$$ quoted for new.
So new turbo on and smoking better but still there. Soooo, decided to proceed according to the book of Jon. Started genny up and turned everything on that had an electrical switch. Got to a load of about 50 amps on each leg. More than had ever been loaded before, I’m sure. Smoke came rolling out the back like who goosed the moose and I just left it like that for a couple of hours. Had to keep changing the water I was boiling on the stove and in the microwave, of course. Smoke became less as time went on and I got the feeling wet stacking was going out the back!
After the 2 hours, unloaded the legs, let it continue to run, and began the tapping on the tailpipe routine. Holy cow! Crap and corruption came out like crazy – especially from the corrugated pipe that Marathon put from about the drive axle on back. Repeated tapping from front to back several times. No catalytic converter in my system.
Now have happy smokeless genny – and wife. Plan to repeat the load routine regularly. Thanks to all who chimed in. Mike

John Great to hear you and the bear are back on the road. Look forward to seeing you this winter.

I have a 93 chassis, 8V92 that needs some love.
I’ll supply 50 amp power, Water, and all the needed supplies for any of you retired campers that want to give my campground a shot.
where does my time go…. oh paying your social security!

There is a separate boost sensor with a tube running to the top of the blower box(?) and an electronic signal send from there to the gauge. The older coaches actually had a tiny tube that connects to the boost gauge as well.

Pretty sure mine has a dipstick.

Tom:
My my sewer water drain tap handle is in the curb-side water bay behind the right end of the face panel. I have to reach behind the end of the panel to turn the tap on the bay floor 1/4 turn. It drains to the ground. Maybe you have a drain hose through the bay floor and the tap might be above it.
But wait! Oh, oh! Yesterday my Marathon compressor started running way to often. Air pressure for the sewer hose keeps dropping and Marathon said there is no way to just turn off air to the sewer hose. We’re on a long trip so I’ll just turn the compressor off until I need it. Then get it fixed unless someone has an idea where to find the air leak … likely in the water bay behind something? I’ve checked a bunch of other fittings and tightened and siliconed the hose cap.
I knew this would happen someday. Somehow sleeping in a tent on rocks and peeing on the ground like in the old days has great appeal.

Hello, I have no clue on the choice in road names. How far west are you headed? I would like to see your coach. Any plans to go to Oregon? I watched the Youtube video of your coach and it reminds me of a nice yacht.

As far as the RV parking goes, Sam’s Town is definitely the best with many long pull-throughs. Everything is new/fresh and well maintained. Easy in, out, and around the campground. All concrete pads and asphalt roads.
Sam’s Town Casino…. well, you have to go in to register at the desk after parking in your assigned space, but we saw no reason to go in to the casino again
Across the street is The Resort. No RV parking that we could see. Much nicer casino and the lunch buffet is very good and only $5 for folks over 50. Well worth the effort to eat lunch there.
Next to that is the Hollywood Casino. Head and shoulders the best casino. The RV campground is good, but only one pull through (#196). The walk from the campground to the casino is the shortest.
Bottom line: If you need a pull through, Sam’s Town is a sure bet. If a back-in spot is OK, especially for a longer stay, pick the Hollywood Casino.
After living in Las Vegas for 9 years a while back, we can’t get excited about any of the three casinos.

Our reversing valve is on top of the black tank on the passenger side. Our bus is 2 years older… but will get you a pic when I get home.

I had what appears to be the same pump in our ’06 Millennium fail. I bought a new one from Zoro.com. The Zoro p/n is G2024032 ($393.99). I also bought the repair ki9t for it from Zoro.com p/n/ is G2385031 ($65.36). I repaired the old one and kept it as a spare. There is very little in that pump that moves or can fail. The repair kit should work. I’m not sure about the dash, but if there is a difference it is most likely on connectors, mufflers or something else you can remove from the old one and put on the new one. I’d try rebuilding it first.

On Roy … I’m so tempted. I shouldn’t, it wouldn’t be right. I’ll control myself tonight.
