AC (110v) or DC (24v) motors on the shades ?
How are they controlled ? Wall switch ? Master IR remote ? RF system ?
I have a 24V Hunter Douglas shade controller module that has 4 DC (24V) outputs and takes switch and IR eye inputs via RJ45 cables.
Is that what you need or you have the system where each shade has its own RF board in the head that controlls each individual motor – RTS system with 504 or 506 type motors ?
Here is a Somfy RTS 24V with Radio control:
or….contact these guys and give them your exact motor/controller model number maybe they have what you need:

Mark,
Thanks for the input…makes me feel a little better. Did you run a line to the front of the coach for the monitor?

Jon,
Thanks for your input. I’m well familiar with liqiud filled gagues which are normally used in applications where subject to vibration. I’m a certificated Airframe & Powerplant Mechanic as well as as an authoirized inspector for returning aircraft to service after major repair and alteration. Not to toot my horn, but I’ve been doing this for about forty years. The gauge on my engine was, and still is, full of engine oil.
I think that this gauge serves a very good purpose. If I had a coach manufactured after the powers that be decided not to install it anymore, I would do a retrofit. Not absolutely necessary, but sure good to have. I can’t tell you how many times that I have plumbed in a direct reading gauge when questioning the accuracy of an electric one fed info from a sending unit. Just my opinion and feelings.

It appears to be very similar to the rear-rear axle on a tandem tractor. We used to pump oil into the wheel end when putting it back together after a seal change. Pump the bearing area full, slide the axle in part way and put some more in. Then check the level at the fill on the housing, making sure that is full. It should be full enough it starts to run out when you remove the plug.
We always checked the bearings as kind of a safety check. Never going to be easier to do, then when you are into it for the seal.

I never thought about it so I just sat in the driver’s seat and looked at the mirrors.
Maybe it is the position of my seat, but I have very little choice of where the mirrors are with relation to the windshield post or side of the coach. If I try to get some space between the mirror and the post I have to swing the arm forward and then the post starts to block the view. A longer arm would cure the problem, but working with what I have for arm length on both sides and my seat position I don’t have a lot of movement available to me.

Leaving the brake on is part of the way the “brains” are set up. I cannot shift into gear on mine unless I have the service brake applied so it might be possible that is how it might have been set up originally.

RV dealers care about one thing and that is the money the cusromer gives them. you can see this when you buy a new RV and nothing works on your first outing. basic stuff like electrical outlets not working. it would take a dealer an hour to do a quick check for just the basic things, uet would rather let the new owner find these issues and bring the RV back to have the dealer fix them.
if the cant do a basic check for things like all the compnents working, why would they want to make sure that new owner knows how to do something as basic as hook/un-hook, or actually pilot their new setup? dont even get me started on what they actually will look past in terms of acceptable tow vehicles for what they are selling. sure that F150 can get that 10,000 lb trailer moving, but it wont stop it, and yet they will let that customer drive away without a clue.

you can also visit the Donners Pass museum and monument that illustrates very effectively how deep twenty foot of snow was. Very sad story and shows the commitment the pioneers had to reach the West. Today’s generation has no clue!

it’s 120v

The Koni shocks allow the bus to go around a corner on the interstate with very little lean,as my friend that works for me and has driven my bus stated,”THIS WILL GET YOU IN TROUBLE”
-
It really surprises me that they would wire it off a 220v circuit.
-
Thanks Tom. That worked. I think this might be the second time you’ve told me to do that.

Tried to add an RV Park location. Small park with no apparent web site. The system wouldn’t accept my submission because of bad web site address, which is supposed to be optional.

I set mine up with its own pressure switch. You can get them with various on-off pressure settings. I think mine is 85-105 but if never want the option to re-level I’d choose something lower.

I installed a 100% duty cycle compressor from Viair (12V). It has been flawless. Viair 450c, 150psi, about $200.
