Well Tom, you and Nancy have the best grey water ever!

Great thread. My reports that we have a leak under the front of the bus too, I can’t hear it.
What does this 1/4″ line go to? What does it operate?
The idea of buying a complete, comprehensive set of fittings make lots and lots of sense. I learned that less the hard way with the race cars. Buy in volume, save money, eliminate trips to the hardware or race parts store.

If the 2 liter Kubota was powering a car going 70 MPH for 100 hours, it would be the equivalent of driving 7,000 miles.
So, maybe I don’t feel so bad changing oil and filter at 100 hours or even 102 hours…
Like Jon, I’m not going to get wrapped around the axle if I actually go over by a bit.

We got them from “Marine Engine Parts”.
They look to be “out of stock” currently.

Just hire a wrecker to follow you…..saves on response time.

Thanks Fred… I did find a brass replacement on Amazon and will give them a try.

How many who have used Equal or something similar had valve stem extensions on the inner drive axle wheels?
I never did, I used the Schrader valves with the filter plus I used the fill through cap valve stem caps ad for the approximately 18 years I used Equal I had no issues with it. I also checked pressures prior to every trip, and after the pressure check gave the tire a short blast of about 150-175 PSI air prior to taking the air supply off the valve stem. That blast of air blew any debris off the valve seat. My tire fill valve also had the pressure gauge attached so I put the tire chuck on the stem, read the tire pressure, and then gave it the quick shot of air and if the valve seat had any debris it got blown away but if it did not get dislodged the second valve seat in the fill through cap would seal.
If my coach had not had Centramatics when I got it, I would still be using Equal EXCEPT today I would be using the Pressure Pro and with that sensor on the valve stem it wouldn’t matter if the Schrader valve seated or not.

No. Think that was just coincedental. I noticed one other time one phase of the 240vac went to 129 volts ,then went back normal for several months.

So it was a bad thermostat all along?

The problem is the control module. By passed it and all is well. Removed and sent it to Tradewind Coach for repairs. Thanks Jon for the recommendation.

I’d be really curious about the failure rate of alternators. I am not considering an oil leak a failure, but I would want to know the economics of the various alternator options we are now seeing.

Ah, I think that app is the BS Meter…

What are your axle weights Steve? Not the limits, but real weights. Also, I am sure you are aware when 365 wheels and tires were added they use different studs I believe.

I use the On The Go tank. Depending on hardness of water I can usually get 6-8 washes out of a resin refill, but I use the DI water for the wash bucket as well as pre/post wash rinse. Resin runs about $80 if you look around a bit. Overall I’m satisfied; some of the other units out there make it easier to know when you’re getting close to needing to replace the resin. All depends on your available on-board space and what bells & whistles you want to pay for. DI water is pretty much DI water.
