RE: Power Mirrors Don’t Work!
ON my WH chassis there is a small fuse panel under the dash left side that is difficult to find and check. It is put on a holder that will allow you to reach up and slide it off to change a fuse. other than that you almost have to stand on your head to access it.

RE: ladder extendable ???
We use the same one. It is compact, sturdy, sets up in seconds to any height you need, and collapses to lay flat. It is also great for accessing the roof of your coach.

RE: Converted 2006 F350 Turbo Diesel Ambulance Motorhome
If I read your info right, you only have AC in the house portion IF the vehicle engine is running. This might not be too appealing for people that travel in hot areas of the country during the Summer. The workmanship does look great. Nice project.

RE: Wiring Short only under shore power
My Monaco and many other Monaco RV's have a bank of 120 volt fluorescent lights in the kitchen/dining area. They are on a circuit breaker however and not fuses. I would guess that the OP is talking about the halogen 12 volt lights directly over the dining table. These should normally not be affected by any shore power connection. One way to check is to take your multimeter and set it to the maximum amp setting. Remove the fuse for the lights that is blowing and check the amperage at that location by bridging your meter leads across the fuse location, with the fuse removed. Check the amps used when NOT plugged in to shore power and then check to see if it changes when shore power is applied. If it jumps up I would suspect that maybe your inverter charger output voltage is too high.

RE: RV roof protection
I love the RV covers, especially when I get to watch my neighbor trying to put his cover on his 35 foot Class A. Lots of fun altho I am always concerned he will fall off. :D
Me, I just wash my RV regularly with a wash/wax product from Blue Coral.

RE: Class A Low Bridge Accident
I wonder what his eye level was above the ground when he hit that bridge? Seems to me that it was not too far above his head and that he probably ducked when he saw it coming. Glad they will probably recover.

RE: Help! Heater core
Guess I need to get it pulled out. Looks like a bit to much for my 80 year old self. Looks like the easiest way is to take out the head light and go in through there. Thanks everyone
As I have found out, some jobs that used to take a few hours, can now take a few days. I still know it will be done right if I do it myself.

RE: Dashboard gauges failure
You may have a fuse box/electrical panel under there that needs to be checked.

RE: Help! Heater core
Once you pull it out, you may find that it is a minor situation that can easily be fixed at any radiator shop. If it cannot be fixed, I am sure that the radiator shop can find a generic replacement.

RE: Class As in cold weather?
We use our gasser almost exclusively in the Winter out West. We spent many nights below zero in the mountains. We always took chains because you never knew when a snow storm would pop up. We also hooked up to shore water only to keep our water tank topped off. We only hooked up to the sewer to dump our tanks. In the wet basement compartment we put in a thermostatically controlled 150 watt incandescent light bulb installed in a trouble light wire cage. We disconnected and removed the ice maker hose. We never had the RV water pump or a water line freeze. Inside we used our furnace very seldom since a couple of 5000 watt space heaters were sufficient in all but the coolest temps. We also carried a portable heat pump that we vented to the outside, which was quiet and worked well to keep things comfortable in below zero temps. A portable 120 volt heat pump is never exposed to the outside temps so they will work at below zero temps. We also used small fans to blow on the windshield to keep it from frosting up. The other windows were double pane which helped keep the interior warm. I believe with proper preparation and with some limitations most any RV is usable during the Winter months.

RE: TPMS Settings
Make sure your tires are inflated to the correct PSI according to your coach weight. Then check your TPMS readings after driving most of the day and see how much they have increased, assuming they are all consistent. Then I set my TPMS setting 10% above that.
If you travel during the Winter, be sure to check your inflation pressure before you start out for the day.

RE: Gassing Your Gasser
We travel on a lot of back roads so we don't always have the big truck stops available. Once I get to about 1/4 tank or so I will stop at any station that has clear access to their pumps. Sometimes it is a little station with pumps adjacent to the road or other type of station where I can see that I will have easy access in and out. I do not get hung up on stopping for one specific brand when I need fuel. I just go for the ones where it is obvious that I can get in and out with ease.

RE: Looking to add LED driving lights
The Hella fog lights I have on my RV can be flipped but embossed on the lens is "top" which indicates that the beam will be cut off to prevent reflection if installed correctly.

RE: Looking to add LED driving lights
I believe that most fog lights, when the top of the beam is cut off, have a wide 60 degree beam. The driving lights would have the 30 degree beam to shine further down the road and would rely on your existing headlights to take care of the near illumination.

RE: Looking to add LED driving lights
I believe driving lights and fog lights are two different things. Fog lights are usually designed so that the top of the beam is cut off so as not to reflect back from the fog. They usually do not shine too far down the road since the visibility is restricted anyway. Driving lights are designed to shine far down the road when used in high speed highway driving.

RE: Ac on generator problem.
Here is an inexpensive meter to check voltage and frequency.

RE: old diesel fuel in tank
The moisture/condensation in the tank could also have caused the exposed metal surfaces to rust which may start to show up in your fuel filter as rust colored debris. It will quickly disappear as the fuel flushes it away.

RE: Ac on generator problem.
Whether on shore power or generator I always kept one of the Kill-A-Watt meters plugged in to an outlet. These are less than $20 and will give me an instant readout of the exact voltage and the frequency. With both AC's running you can see if your voltage is low or if your frequency has dropped below 60 cycles. Most appliances will operate within a specified voltage range but keep in mind that the lower the voltage, the higher the amperage. You want to try to maintain 120 volts at full load with your generator. Some RV systems also have a type of power control panel that can shed loads(turn off items automatically) during periods that may exceed the capacity of the generator.
