Monaco Locking drawer slide replacements
oregondarrell replied to oregondarrell's topic in General Motorhome Discussion
I'm looking for drawer slides. They lock in place when closed, you need to lift up to open. I believe they are KV but able to locate a source. -
Slide Toppers needed near Eugene,Oregon
oregondarrell replied to oregondarrell's topic in General Motorhome Discussion
Throgmartin, Thanks for reply I ordered slide toppers from you in 7/2015 and installed myself. The thread held up for the 5 years they were installed. They were beginning to discolor and sag after 5 years as fabric stretched and water pooled in center of panels. I replaced yours with Tough Top in 6/2020. Mainly because Tough Top was local and would install. After 3 years the Tough Top vinyl is discolored & hardened and the thread is failing badly. As I am 73 now and am not interested in installing myself , I am looking for other options. Definitely will not use or recommend Tough Top though. Darrell Terry -

Cowpoke - Do you recall how much Elite charged you to install your slide toppers ? How many slides on your RV ? I contacted Elite last week to adjust one of my slides and repair slide seals but they were 2 months out on available appointments. -

Any recommendations for slide topper purchase and installation in the Eugene area. Noticed the stitching is failing and will need to replace soon. Any help/info appreciated. Darrell Terry -
Oil Pressure issue on 350 Cummins ISC
oregondarrell replied to oregondarrell's topic in General Motorhome Discussion
dl_racing427, Thanks , That's what I figured after the results I posted. I ordered a new gauge from AutoMeter that is similar and comes with sender. Hopefully that will solve my issue. Thanks to all who responded with ideas and suggestions. -

I also did as dl racing 427 suggested ; I shorted wire to RV frame with ignition both off and on and still had full scale deflection of gauge. -
Oil Pressure issue on 350 Cummins ISC

With Datcon sending unit installed Wire not connected - ignition off - full right deflection Wire not connected - ignition on - Full right deflection Wire on S connection - ignition off - full right deflection Wire on S connection - ignition on - full right deflection Wire on WR connection - ignition off - full right deflection Wire on WR connection - ignition on - full right deflection Should I try same with the VDO sending that Cummins had installed ? -
Oil Pressure issue on 350 Cummins ISC

I'm starting to think I might have a Ground issue. The paperwork that came with Datcon pressure sender says "ground is through case - Make sure it's connected" There is only one wire on my RV which I assume runs to dash gauge. Three questions 1) Should I attach a ground to Sending unit ? Maybe with a hose clamp as there is no lug for ground. 2) With Datcon sender that I purchased - which blade connector should I connect to the single wire to gauge ? WR - (Warning switch ) or S - (Signal output) 3) The VDO sender that Cummins installed and deflects fully to right, also has two connection lugs - ( G ) and (WK) Is the G for Ground ? Very confusing Tapped several times - Didn't work -

The oil pressure sender I purchased has two terminals; WR - Warning Switch ( Narrow blade) S - Signal Output ( Wide Blade) I attached wire to S - Signal Output I did not try WR as I assumed it was for an Idiot Light -
Oil Pressure issue on 350 Cummins ISC

No - They tossed it. I returned to see if they figured out how to fix it several days later, but they had no idea what was wrong. -
Engine oil pressure on our 350 Cummins ISC was always 75 lbs pressure.On trip to Oregon - My oil pressure gauge read - with engine "off" 30 PSI.When engine running it rose to 125 PSI.Asked Cummins in Coberg to check it out during May oil change and road check.Cummins replaced the oil pressue sender that Monaco installs adjacent to oil filter.My oil pressure guage is now fully deflected to right - no movement at all - pegged to far right of gauge.Cummins told me they must have installed wrong OHM sender but did not know what sender was needed. I have researched internet and found that I needed a 0-100 PSI sender with 33 -240 ohms.I purchased a Datcon pressure sender from Amazon with those exact spec's.Nothing - The gauge is still pegged to full deflection and no movement with or without the wire connected.Do you think Cummins damaged my gauge with an incorrect sender or something else ?Any help appreciated

Alladin System / Rear camera
oregondarrell replied to oregondarrell's topic in General Motorhome Discussion
Thanks Steven - I found RV Cams on a Google search for my Sony camera model and ordered a new camera that connects to the Sony wiring harness. Hopefully that will fix my problem. Before camera died I was getting blue vertical lines on the screen. If not, I will certainly contact Tim for further help. My video feed displays on my Alladin system only. I don't have an additional screen like your setup. Very nice ! -
The oil sending unit on my 350 ISC Turbo failed. Does anyone have the part number # to order a new sender ? I took RV to Cummins in Coburg and the one they ordered did not work. It's been a week and they still don't have an answer for me. Also, can the sender be removed and changed with oil in sump or does oil need to be drained before replacing ? Thanks Darrell Terry
