  1. How did the Filter-Minder react to the old air filter on all of your previous trips before changing out your air filter?
  2. I totally disagree with those "manufacturers". So far, no manufacturer has technically explained why you should NOT do it. To me it is a sales pitch and nothing technical about it. I will continue to daisy-chain MOV's as I have done for the past 20 years or so. After all, THEY have daisy-chained MOV's inside their devices so if it's OK for them to do it inside then what is the "harm" to do it outside?
  3. MOV = Metal Oxide Varistor The heart of many surge protectors available today is a small electronic component called a metal oxide varistor (MOV). The role of the MOV is to divert surge current, however, MOVs wear out with use. As more surges are diverted, the MOV's life span shortens, and failure becomes imminent.
  4. Is this what you are looking for? https://tinyurl.com/bd754wvh
  5. The Aux compressors have a 99.99% failure rate. I recently had my HWH Aux Compressor Platform completely removed. I am rebuilding it this summer with all new components then it will be installed inside in an accessible location out of the weather where it can easily be serviced.
  6. Lesson learned, our coaches are snowflakes, same year and model may have a completely different set-up. It's best to do your own investigation to discover exactly how things work.
  7. I would recommend using acparts.com in Texas. https://www.acparts.com/ That's where I purchased the compressor and dryer for my previous Windsor. I need to contact them once again to order the correct parts for my Dynasty.
  8. Anything is possible providing you have the time and money to circumvent the factory wiring and control systems for your AC/HP and furnace and install all new wiring and control systems for the new AC's, etc.
  9. Basically, they are correct. The main differences are Omega I has the Alligator Aluminum Guard attached to the side of the coach that the fabric and roller tube rolls up into. The Omega II has the fabric guard and roller tube attached to the top of the slide. As the slide moves out the fabric unrolls from the guard. They both have the ? question style arms that create a window awning when needed in addition to the slide topper cover. In Regards to springs, either a right or left spring will work in the Omega I or the Omega II. However, the Omega I came from the factory with a right side spring and the Omega II came from the factory with a left side spring. My spring was replaced in my Omega I by a service technician who brought the wrong spring by mistake. He removed the right side broken spring and installed the left side new spring in the Left Side. It's been like that ever since and still works to this day for the new owner of my Windsor.
  10. @Steve P Both of my pressure washers come with multiple different nozzles. I use one specific nozzle for doing the roof at a close range so it gets sown into the pores of the unpainted fiberglass to get all of the crud out and clean it to a pearly white. Then when cleaning the coils of the AC's I use a completely different nozzle that does not damage the fins of of the coils plus keep it at a safe distance. It's all a matter of "common sense". As far as leaks, if your roof is sealed well then you should have no worry. However, if it isn't then I would take care of that FIRST by removing all of the OLD sealant and redo all of those areas with Sikaflex 715 White Sealant.
  11. Now get yourself some 303 Protectant and spray those lenses 3-4 times a year and they will stay that way. https://tinyurl.com/nhjerfx8
  12. This confirms what I had suggested earlier in that the original owner must have made a custom change to the coach when it was built requesting no door in that location.
  13. Just to add on to this "Check Your Base-plate" before travel thread of my recent discovery. I had towed my 2006 Saturn Vue for the past 15 years. I recently switched vehicles back in early March to another 2006 Saturn Vue in much better condition that was already setup for towing with a Blue-Ox Base-plate. I checked the 6-way connector, it all worked correctly. I moved the RVIBrake Charge device over to the new car along with the RVIBrake seat brace for the brake unit to rest against. I also installed my dash, 30 amp, bypass switch to the lower left dash area. Well, after closing up the house yesterday, then moving the coach out onto the access road to hook up the car. I got everything out to start connecting the car to the coach. I get my set of Blue-Ox pins out then sprayed some T9 Boseshield onto the pin and receiver and placed it into the receiver to lock it in place. Well, WTF!!! The pin was not locking into position. It would simply rotate around and around. Holy CRAP!!! Well, as it turns out, I had no idea that Blue-Ox would make different types of pins for their base-plates. My old base-plate had used "short-short" pins whereas this base-plate uses "short-long" pins. I made a quick call to the Hitching Post in Ocala to see if they could help me. It was 3 pm by then and they closed at 5 pm so I had to get on the road NOW! I had my wife drive the car while following me in the coach. We got there at 4:45 pm. They had the pins that I needed so $106 dollars later and an extra 85 miles of unnecessary travel plus diesel and we were back on the road to New Hampshire for the summer. There isn't anything noticeably different between the two vehicles except that my old one was FWD and this new one is AWD. The front ends of each car looked exactly the same. BTW, when I installed the new pins, each one was "leaning" to the passenger side of the car versus having the slot for the tow bar connector ideally straight up and down. Obviously, the fabricator at Blue-Ox must have had a few too many beverages for lunch before welding the pin receivers to the base-plate. Luckily, the tow bar connectors do compensate for their manufacturing error. All is well!
