Chuck,

Perhaps take more photos showing exact location and identifying marks, then contact Donnie Myers Luxury Coach in Florida. They are Featherlite “specialists”.

This happened to us on the road in June. Compressor clutch didn’t engage. I changed a relay in the box above the engine and that worked. I did have to sort of get to the back of the panel and make sure the wires were well seated on the relay… they push out of the panel pretty easily.

There are “map legend” sheets stuck to the doors on the engine compartment.

I also like to keep some of the alligator clip jumpers on board to check things. That’s how I figured out the relay wasn’t working.

I also keep one of those R 134 cans with the gauge to check the Freon level. Not precise or anything but will tell you if it’s gone…

I replaced several Air Admittance devices on 2 of my Marathons due to the grey water stink. Also run a cycle with the washer, may have a dry p-trap.

I have done the same thing manually with the previous coach CA units. Bought a personal spray mister from WalMart that takes a hose connection and outputs through 2 tiny mister nozzles. Works like a charm! However, the hard water left stains where ever it hit and I am not sure what it did to the area between the fins or to the components on the inside of the cabinet. It never appeared to be a problem and it saved my butt many times including last Summer in Vegas at 115 degrees. I’m just pretty happy to have roof air here in CO. I haven’t had to turn on all 3 units yet despite the 95-100 degree temps.

Agree with Bill about quarter cup of bleach to 150 to 175 gallons of water never hurt yet.

Marshall – so glad to hear the personal good news and service good news! Their daily morning email communication should be the standard.

Frank, I have 1015 I think it is I’m in New Braunfels

Ck. the suction tube coming out of the top of the tank, sometime they brake off.

You can replace with a plastic tube. “done that”

Nice job Jeff, some piece of mind.

Jon:

Existing cabling may work with a degraded signal, not a good picture with today’s high def cameras and monitors.

Dick:

I have my WiFi and cell hot spot equipment in the back closet, I am running Cat5 cabling to the front to connect a hard wired WiFi extender in the front. Tried the wireless extenders but had low signal and slow speeds, that why I going to the trouble to hard wire with Cat5 (or Cat6).

Bill:

What cabling was used with your RVCAMS, RG 58 Coax cable, RCA cable?

Art:

Your system looks like what I am leaning towards. Do you know the kind of cabling used for your system? Can the camera be remotely moved up/down?

The Cirrus, like self driving cars is aimed at people whose brain has gotten lazy.

A great deal of my flying was in the shitty weather of Jamestown NY that had more than its share of low approaches, really nasty lake effect snow storms and lots of icing, courtesy of Lake Erie. I hand flew every approach except one when I lost a cylinder and the work and effort I put into maintaining my skills was often criticized by pilots who repeatedly kept telling me i needed to let the autopilot fly the approaches.

Nope, I will never be convinced the solution is to pull the rip cord. Fly the damn plane, and if you cannot, stay on the ground.

ok, I have a trucker atlas, but i can’t read it at 62 mph!

I can glance at a screen going down the road.

The speed limit indicator on Google maps is a welcome addition. I’m surprised with as many trucks and rvs on the road they have not added features for weight and height. That would really seal the deal.

In the interest of full disclosure, I drive faster than than 62. I know this because I passed Jon on I-75 once upon a time. It took five miles to get around him but I did it!

Cool!! Come on over.

I think we’re gonna have some good times. I’ve lived on a private airport or in an airport community all of my adult life and it’s always been a good deal. I think that this is going to be the best yet. Flying, hangar flying and a really good cigar and a little real good sipping every now and then, and a good shop to keep it all going to boot. Ahh, life is good.

I just got the 195 back together after installing a new C&D heater. I now think that is going to prove to be a waste of time and effort. I don’t think it’ll be needed where you don’t even wear long pants.

Wing South has in the past had a fly-in every year that has gotten to be a really top notch event. This past year it had to be cancelled due to the circumstances of 2020 but I think that it’ll happen this year. I’ll post info as it becomes available.
