Diesel fuel smell can be the result of fuel leaking, fuel that once leaked but has now stopped but hasn’t been cleaned up, or a venting issue.
I would start at the beginning, meaning look at the filler ports and make sure if there is any residual fuel there, clean it out. Simple Green works quite well, but so does brake cleaner or engine cleaners. Make sure the drains flow freely. Open it up and get an eyeball on the filler tubes going into the tank. They need to be dry with no evidence of fuel ever having leaked.
If the coach has long range tanks make sure the connections between tanks are dry and free of fuel stains. Look on top of the tank to make sure the connections, gasket, and everything is clean and dry. Use whatever it takes to get a visual on these things such as mirrors or getting under the coach.
If everything associated with the coach fuel tank(s) checks out start following the fuel lines to the generator, engine, Webasto, Aquahot, etc. You may end up cleaning every hose and connection just to make it easier to see wet spots or evidence of leakage.
But keep in mind one thing. If you can smell diesel fuel inside the coach you can be assured the chassis is not properly sealed. Our coaches need the house portion completely sealed from the outside. We have a lot of penetrations for wiring, pipes, sewer pipes, etc. but regardless of where or why something passes from the outside to the inside it needs to be sealed air tight. So after the leak or spilled fuel is located, the next step has to be to seal entry points for odors.

Alvie,

Looks great Rob! I would be honored to help with a few ideas on the interior. I once had a client in Atlanta who had his basement built out by another contractor. He’s complaint was the ceiling tiles in the drop ceiling made it look like his office. I explained to him that’s what we call contractor grade, LOL! Took me and my crew a week, but we changed the tiles with a deco tile pattern and basket weaved stained mullin over the grid with 2 way tape to match his woodwork. It really made the basement have that residentail feel. Hey, using pre-fab trim is ok in my book! I will try and dig thru my pics and post. Would love to meet you and tour your coach also if you can make it to Sefner, Fl.
Check out these millwork companies in Atlanta. You can get their catalog and some ideas there.

The latches Jon refers to are otherwise often called Winnebago latches and can be found in almost any RV store that hasn’t run out of them (2 versions) in stock. The Amana we replaced is possibly the same exact model as yours. We replaced it, and described it in another thread, with a KitchenAid double door and single freezer drawer model KFIS20XV (the double drawer model was discontinued). It is beautiful but we did not attempt to have it covered with the same cabinet decor that the coach has; we got a stainless steel finish and it looks as attractive as the newer coaches (with SS refrigerators).

Yeah with my old coach , when you on a first name bases with the service manager, and he gives you his cell number to contact him it takes the sting out of those $$$$ dollar tickets. NOT! One thing I can say is everytime I take mine in , it’s up of the lift and they check everything under coach for problems.

“Can you buy direct from PSI? I was not able to figure out how on their website.”
Sure can. They offer great customer service. If you are buying an electric pressure be sure to check the amp pull first. Mine pulls 15 amps which works fine for me, but as with most things when plugged in you need to manage power usage when using the electric pressure washer.
I really like this system. The pressure washer combined with the DI tanks and the spray foamer makes short work of washing the coach. I use a 20″ wide microfiber brush which really covers a lot of territory in one pass.

Thanks for the info. Printed out the replacement article forwarded to me. Will have my machanic take a look to see if he might be able to do the fix, if not will seek out a place to have the work done.

Good luck. Look forward to watch this move forward.

As a family we have done fishing charters a lot. Number one good weather, light chop is perfect.
After getting settled Mike (son) and I would head down to the docks when the charters were coming back in. Just hanging around gives you a feel for what’s going on. Many times the proof was in the fish caught and listening to the trash talk. There are many different types of boats used by charter Captains. Usually the larger and newer ones cost more to charter. Look at it this way you’re going out probably far enough so sight of land will disappear , getting on a well cared for boat becomes important.
We usually do 1/2 day trips and there is a reason. My big question is how long of a boat ride do we take to the fishing spot ?
This is really important as some like to cruise ” hour plus” so you can double this now that gives you less then two hours to fish. So you’re paying for an expensive boat ride
My choice is about 1/2 hour cruise giving the max time with lines in the water. We did a half day morning charter out of Key West, FL catching fish pretty much non stop. All three Mackeral native to this area. Having a really good time we re-booked for 2 days later .
Twin screw cost more , my choice big boat, comfortable ride.
Look at the boat you’re thinking of chartering go aboard, smell diesel, leave….. smell head leave.
Talk to the captain and the mate just plain BS with the guys will give you a feeling if it’s a match with the personalities .
How long has Captain been in this area
How long have the Capt and mate been together.
Best Florida charter experience ever was Main Attraction Charters out of Marathon Key at Key Colony Beach Marina morning 1/2 day charter we hit school of Cobia and took our limit . Cobia max weight 150 lb. max length 78 inches. excellent eating. Stayed at Grassy Key RV Park.
Had another good time at Destin FL. where you catch your bait first then about a half hour ride to a sunkin cement truck using your bait . The bait line had 6 hooks attached, so Mike finally caught 6 on 6 and still talks about that trip. He had more fun catching the bait.
Did charter out of Juneau, Alaska where about 1/2 way out when we heard on the radio “May Day”. That changed fishing to a boat ride at WOT. We were called off about 20 minutes from the problem and a nice boat ride we had back to fishing area and catching zero fish. There was no charge for the charter.
Don’t split a charter with strangers, do your own boat. Bring iced cooler for your take home.
