    And gasoline exhaust temps are way higher than diesel exhaust temps.

    Im picking up a Magnum inverter this week to replace the xantrex, going from dual 2500 watts to 1 2800 watt. If I find the usage is to high for one, I will add a second.

    Darrell. The mirror in my bus isnt glass, so I cut through the metal with an angle grinder, cut the foam with a knife, and drilled 4 holes in the corners of the ceiling and then used a sawall to cut the ceiling from the top. I ran new 10/3 wire through the ceiling to the breaker box in the bedroom, disconnected the cruiseair and capped the wires for future owners to revert if they want, and used those breakers for the roof airs. Ive picked up all of my roof airs, heat pump, 15k BTU for $600 a piece or less brand new/refurb from ebay. Then I just using the regular “ceiling assembly” from coleman. So I turn on each ac manually by twisting the knob at the unit, no additional ducting or wiring is required this way.

    The Death Wobble is a known problem at your dealer. Haven’t heard much about it for couple of years.

    There are postings on this site about the wobble and the cure.

    It’s the power steering pump….that is a guess from memory.

    Jon , So hot you could have a cup of tea from either spigot . Way to hot to shower .Will also add this morning I turned on the elect hot water and all was fine for showers . Both Hot and Cold water was plenty . I guess something on the hot engine water loop must be of issue . I figure I need to trace the line to Aqua Hot and look for a mixing or thermostat . Does that sound like the path to take or would this be something else entirely ?

    June 30, 2020 at 5:45 pm in reply to: Three Port Norgrens

    Sorry guys, I guess I wasn’t clear in my question. The problem is definitely in the left level low valve as it leaks profusely out the exhaust port after the key is off. I have the bus down on the stops just to be reasonably level.

    My real question was about the compression fittings used and their configuration. Is there some need for the short sections of copper/brass pipe and the brass blocks that are used or were they just what was available when these valves may have been replaced by someone before I bought the coach?

    Thanks for the replies!

    I think I speak for Tom also on this, we have no objection to off topic threads or posts or subject categories as long as they are not going to head into controversy.

    We likely will never allow hot button discussions on subjects like politics, gun control, abortion, etc. Talking about planes, cars, or boats seem like topics a lot of PC members would like to participate in. We often have seen photos posted of some neat stuff like interesting cars so why not aviation.

    However, and I am giving fair warning here………be very careful in the aviation topic to be sure we don’t get into bitter battles over full flap or partial flap landings or low wing versus high wing.

    Ralph , If you home you should take a ride over there . They are a family business and very nice folks . I also had the same issue and bought a back up pump but have not needed it yet . Seems when the tank is low on fresh water ours will do as yours does but not when there is more than a quarter or so . Strange I know . Also you need to open a few faucets to purge the pump . This can take 1 min or more . If you go there to buy a new pump be sure to peel the sticker off the old one . You do not need to return the old one for the discount .

    The unit has no operating issues. We just want the closet space.

    Over the next few weeks I will work on removing the unit.

    Thanks for each of the comments.

    How do you deal with our President breaking up a completely peaceful demonstration with flash/bang grenades and tear gas just so he could walk across the street for a photo op at a Church he has not visited since his inauguration?
