Davy, if you take a gallon of water and pour on the evap unit does the water go out properly or does it leak out. I have seen the drain pans cracked before….

According to Jeff Rowe, the circulation pump that is on when the Webasto is on takes quite a bit of power. I found that out the hard way.

Nice looking coach!! Having owned and converting Eagles before getting the Prevost, I am still partial to the look of the Eagle. We still have part of a model 10 Eagle in the back yard we having been parting out and scrapping.

Ours has a dishwasher and its never been used.. I use it to store the pots and pans that I don’t use either.. I have a 2 drawer dishwasher at home and run it maybe once every week just to keep it running.
If I was on a long trip it might be different but I don’t cook in the bus… I do take frozen dishes I have made and warm them up sometimes….we do eat sandwiches and breakfast in the bus not not big cooked meals.
I also cook outside the bus in nice weather on a long trip or at the beach.
I don’t use soap on my wine glasses as they say you should never do that so I see NO purpose of puting them in the dishwasher.. I wash my wine glasses in hot clear water and dry them…. so if your wine doesn’t taste just right you might want to ditch using soap to wash the glasses !! Just saying !

Certain generators, one a 20KW Kohler of an older vintage had an issue with fuel pumps. After a while it wasn’t delivering the necessary volume to handle the loads. I was shocked at the cost of the replacment which was around $360 and it had to come from a Kohler dealer.
My current vintage 20KW Kohler has a different fuel pump and if I am not mistaken it is available at NAPA.
I carried a spare of the first one, and once I did that of course it never quit again.

That would make sense, Jon.
A 20kw generator’s output should be somewhere around 75 amps or so.
Now I can see why life is good on the generator and a bit of a challenge on shore power for you. My generator is 12.5kw so I have 50 amp output breakers on both the generator and shore power.
A bigger generator would be nice, especially since I use mine 50% of the time. If you think your wife’s hair dryer is a problem, just think about the size of dryers we have for the dogs!

Diane,
I’m told Glendinning will replace the end for you, but you’ll have to send the cable back to them.

Larry, did you or others in the group pull a toad? Is it desirable or useful, or did everyone stay together with the coaches the whole time? Not that I’m planning this trip anytime soon. Just curious.

While Bill is correct, what I cannot get past is the fact Ramco produces these mirrors in significant numbers. That gives them clout to get the right plating process for a durable plating. While I agree the sub-surface oxidation is the problem in a lot of cases I have replaced arms that had no issues such as the type associated with surface damage and corrosion beneath the plating, but lack of depth or thickness to the plating resulting in what looks like the plating has just worn off.
If I remember from the good old days when I bought a lot of plating on products we made a good quality chrome finish on aluminum starts with a proper copper plating first, followed by the chrome. I cannot say I have seen evidence of that step on the mirrors. Aluminum is very difficult to finish. Powder Coaters and painters have as much difficulty as platers have and the key is proper pretreatment which varies based on the type of finish being applied.
But from my perspective if a set of mirrors had to cost $200 more than they do now, but the plating will last that seems like a good trade. The arms on my coach look like the chrome has been worn off in places.

I suspect a high resistance connection at the
50-amp circuit breaker or a defective breaker.
You can verify this with a temperature sensor, (IR gun), and clamp-on AC
ammeter. -
Replaced amber side bulbs with leds from superbrite and old bulbs are brighter. Am I missing something?
-
Thanks guys.
Another thing I forgot to add was the “Do Not Shift” light was on the entire time the transmission was stuck in second gear.
It too went out once I turned the engine off and everything rebooted. -
Gary, I will keep you posted. We should finish everything in the am. So far, so good! Jeff and his guys are great. The Crestron programmer is really sharp too. He has had many good ideas for changes to make the system more user friendly.

Have any of your guys ever experienced a tire failure with the 365? Coming from the Wandlerlodge world, where the largest factory spec-ed tire is the 315, I have limited experience with the 365’s. I’m now blessed with a set on both my steer and tag axles. I marvel at the sheer size of these tires and the stoutness of the side walls. We’ve had quit a few failures (blowouts) of the 315’s on Wanderlodges. For you folks who’ve been running the 365’s for some time, have you ever experienced a failure?
