  1. Does that support your air leveling system?
  2. Is this what you are looking for? https://tinyurl.com/bd754wvh
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. @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.
  9. 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
  10. 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.
  11. 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!
  12. Your control pad has power so it appears that the Aladdin System is powered up. Your screen is what has been affected. Check the cables at the rear of the screen to make sure they are all seated firmly. Others may have additional ideas.
  13. I have this Remco AquaJet 55 ARV 5.3 gpm with an accumulator tank that has worked just fine for the past two years or more. I don't expect to have any problems in the future either.
  14. One of the very first things I do after rotating the Blue-Ox Tow Pins into the base plate to lock them in place is while holding the pin firmly, I rock it up and down then right and left to see if I have any unwanted movement in the baseplate. I also try to rotate the pin just to make sure it is lock into the correct position. So far, no problem with towing the 06 Black Saturn Vue the last 15 years. This past January I found a 2006 Red Saturn Vue for sale in Ft Meyers. It was already setup for towing with a Blue-Ox Baseplate and electrical setup for the lights. Went to look at it in early March and purchased it. After returning home, I prepped the Black Saturn for sale with 20 photos of the car showing all of the paint problems plus a full honest description of its mechanical condition and what it needed mechanically. I had it sold within 3 days on Facebook Marketplace. Our impending trip to New Hampshire this coming Wednesday will be the first time towing this "new" car. I don't expect to have any problems. These cars tow really easy. The only difference between our old one and this new one is the drive system. Our old one was FWD whereas the new one is AWD. The manual doesn't state to do anything different between the two different drive systems other than to lubricate the transmission using a very specific method, then you are good to tow all day. Next day, repeat the same transmission lubrication process.
