RE: windshield gasket for 1999 Holiday Rambler
Check to see if it is just a loose dash which is making the windshield appear loose. The front cap should be fiberglass and maybe the steel supports have come loose or there are broken welds.

RE: Anyone tried Bluetooth Backup Cameras?
I changed my cameras to the Voyager monitor and cameras using my old cables. Great picture. I added a wireless bluetooth Garmin camera on the side of the coach for alignment with fuel pumps. The picture from the bluetooth camera is sufficient but is not near the quality of the wired cameras. It also sometimes will get interference from fluorescent lights, etc. I should add that a wireless camera is not really wireless since it requires power to the camera and a means to turn it on and off.

RE: smoking diesel exhaust
Usually an indication that your engine is running rich, or using more fuel than it can burn efficiently. This could be from worn out injectors that have an enlarged hole or other things that are putting more fuel in to the cylinders than the engine needs.

RE: Cant find a toilet seat and cover for Dometic 8700
Go to Home Depot or Lowes. The seat is a standard elongated seat available for a residential toilet.

RE: Looking for Transmission cooler radiator 03 Diplomat
None of the RV manufacturers made their own oil coolers. They all use standard sizes that are available. I'll bet that any radiator shop could find a replacement based on the size and the number of rows of cooling lines.

RE: Workhorse oil cooler lines/hoses
Besides the oil cooling lines there are also transmission fluid cooling lines that can have the same issues.

RE: FYI zantrex charger inverter in 2001 Discovery
With a Xantrex, it is called pass through current.
There are also internal glass fuses in a Xantrex inverter that can fail. They cost about $1 each.

RE: Where does the little red wire go
As mentioned red is usually for power. Perhaps it is used to power the back lighting at night.

RE: Windshield replacement
Somewhere on the windshield there will be numbers identifying the specific glass part number. I used RV Glass Solutions Click Here
They came to me and installed a new windshield in about 1 hour. Great service.

RE: Installed supersteer springs but...
Did they change the front ball joints at the same time? The reason I ask is that there are two different ball joints available and if they used the smaller ones instead of the larger ones for the P30 with rear disc brakes, they will make noise.

RE: Water damaged subfloor, how to replace advice?
We traveled a lot during the Winter months and we found that in the front and rear fiberglass end caps, they used fiberglass batt insulation that had sagged. This allowed the interior surfaces to sweat from the cold outside and the moisture inside. We discovered it when it was dripping on to our dash. I removed all cabinets so I could get to the inside of the fiberglass end caps and used two part closed cell spray foam to insulate the inside of the fiberglass. This took care of the problem and made the coach much more comfortable in the Winter, at least down to -5 during one trip.
You might want to check your end caps because Monaco was using fiberglass in 1990 and it could have sagged away just like ours did and allowed a lot of moisture to develop inside the coach.

RE: Water damaged subfloor, how to replace advice?
I am not sure about 1990 but I know in later years they used a sandwich type of floor with styrofoam between two sheets of flakeboard. It was about 2.5" thick.

RE: What The Heck???
As long as the two negative posts both go to a common ground, they do not need to be connected together as the ground will connect them.
Going back to your ORIGINAL post, you said that you smelled an electrical odor from the house battery area. Usually when there is an odor, something is usually fried and is no longer working as designed. I would look for whatever burned and start from there. Check all fuses even if they look good. You can also apply 12 volt power to your jack pump and see if it operates. You have a few different interlocks that must be in the correct position before your jacks will operate. It might be time to go back to your manual and make sure that you are trying to retract them according to the book.

RE: What The Heck???
The only thing that I can think of that will affect both the house and chassis voltages is a short to ground by the battery isolator. This would prevent the alternator from charging the batteries and providing enough power for the ignition.
I'm guessing that it is not a permanent short or the engine would never start but something that fails after a period of time and shunts all of the current to ground instead of charging the batteries.

RE: What The Heck???
With TWO 12 volt batteries the hook up is done with both of the POSITIVE terminals hooked together and connected to the positive cable going to your inverter. The two negative cables are connected together and go to the chassis ground connection. Between the positive cable going to the inverter and your chassis ground you should read 12+ volts.
I should ad that with both batteries independently DISCONNECTED, each should read 12+ volts. This will insure that neither battery has shorted out or is defective.

RE: What The Heck???
Battery diagram Don't know whether or not you have 6 volt or 12 volt batteries but here is a diagram for most installations.
