  1. I prefer using Cap sensors due to size and mass differences. Isn't much difference having to remove the cap on the end of a Flow-Through sensor versus the Cap sensor itself to adjust air.
  2. Try https://www.hendersonslineup.com/motorhome-rv-chassis
  3. Most likely the differences between Alcoa and Accuride wheels.
  4. @Venturer what happened to your VMSpc? I installed a VMSpc in my 02 Windsor back in 2010. Removed it to transfer it to our 06 Dynasty. The new owner of the Windsor purchased a VMSpc which he now uses while driving. He did that based on my recommendation. I won't move my coach unless the VMSpc is active.
  5. Sorry, I got inside and outside mixed up! It's hell getting old! LOL
  6. I, personally, would not miss the Aladdin System at all. I only use it to set up the dash display in order to see the rear view camera while driving. I have not used it for anything else. I don't have a joystick and display in the bedroom like some coaches have. Plus to use it while parked I have to sit down in the driver's seat to get at the joystick. I owned my 2002 Windsor which did not have an Aladdin System for 18+ years and got along fine without any of the information the Aladdin System provides. After purchasing the Dynasty two years ago then finding that the PO had replaced the Surge Guard Transfer Switch with a cheaper model that didn't talk to the Aladdin System, there wasn't much other information that the Aladdin System provided that I desperately needed. JMHO....
  7. Sorry, I do not have a photo of that as the tag stems have not been mounted yet. However, possibly @Lenny D , the new owner of my Windsor will take a photo of the outside rear dual wheel stem and post it here for you. That stem is the same identical stem that mounts to the tag wheel.
  8. It was posted earlier in this thread. You must have missed it.
  9. The sensors on the Dynasty we purchased two years ago were totally useless. Removed them and cleaned they well. Reinstalled the sensors and re-calibrated them. They were STILL totally useless. Chose not to waste more time, energy or money and purchased the SeeLevel System which I had done on my previous Windsor. No more frustrations!
  10. To add-on to my previous post about Borg Tire Stems here are photos of the kit that I purchased to install on the dynasty wheels when switching to new tires. The dually kit is called DL4M which includes the long straight one piece stems, the "donuts" for support of the long stems and a set of the short angles stems for the outside duals. The tag stems are in a separate zip-loc bag. They are at a specific angle so they don't interfere with the large chrome cover hub on that wheel. I believe they are the same ones that go onto the outside wheel on the dualies. I also included a photo of the current stems on my tag axle wheels.
  11. The size of the straps for the Omega I and Omega II are listed in the parts diagram which I have attached. My Windsor has the Omega I which all three straps are 30 inches long. BTW, I would always put a full twist in the strap before securing it which reduces the vibration of the strap when it is windy. Discontinued Omega and Omega II IPL.pdf
  12. I switched all of the stems on my previous 02 Windsor over to Borg Tire Stems. They all face out making it easy for adjusting air and installing the TPMS sensors. I have Josam's do all of my tire work. When the rear duallies and tags need new tires I have a complete set of stems for the dually wheels and the tags I had purchased from Borg Stems in California ready to go on. I refuse to run with braided extensions. Just another place for a failure when you least expect it.
  13. You have an impending complete failure of the solenoid relay(s) that the Battery Cut Off Switch controls. If it were me,I would bypass that solenoid and be done with it, NOW, versus sometime during a cold, rainy, dark night when you really need the 12 VDC. I did mine in my 02 Windsor after getting up during the night and found the toilet would not work. The solenoid was bypassed the very next morning and I never had any more issues ever again. As the say'n goes, "pay me now or pay me later", your choice.
  14. You have a 12 VDC failure, nothing to do with any 120VAC System. First place to look is what Ivan suggested, Battery Cutoff Switch at the entry door or the solenoid that switch controls.
  15. The cutout for the 02 Windsor I had done did not have anything that interfered with the exhaust opening. I took photos on a chilly morning where the condensation showed exactly where the metal supports were located. Have you done that?
  16. I also suggest Northwest RV Supply. Call them and send them a photo as they have thousands of switches not listed on their web site.
  17. To straighten out the ? brackets at the ends of the Combo Topper/Awning, use two pieces of 2x4 and place the arm on the wood and step on it where it is bowed up. If needed, get your 300 lb neighbor to help out. LOL
  18. My Data Card states that the engine AC Compressor is a Unicla model UP-150 serial#302331 I found an Internet reference that the Unicla UP-150 is the same as the Sanden SD7H15. I have not verified that information though. The expansion valve is this one found on eBay I believe. https://www.ebay.com/itm/292153547690 However, there are many of the same type available for a lot less money. Whether they are the same quality or not I don't know. Just do an Internet search. I haven''t been able to nail down the part number for the dryer. But they seem to be fairly standard. I would think that when they evacuate the system it may remove any left over debris, not sure. I would ask the AC tech that will be replacing the parts. I am sure that their AC equipment is capable of flushing the system if needed. BTW, when I needed a complete AC system for my 02 Windsor, I very nice customer service tech from ACParts.com in Texas helped me a lot in getting the correct parts, etc. I had a new compressor, expansion valve and dryer installed at a shop in LA when I had the new Samsung fridge installed back in 2012.
  19. While replacing the compressor I would change out the expansion valve and the dryer. I doubt that the compressor disintegrated throwing pieces into the AC lines versus simply seizing. Hence, the smoke was from the belt. Once you find out what the replacement part numbers are for those three critical parts, please post them as I will have to replace all of them fairly soon myself.
  20. On my previous Windsor, the service brakes light up the rear brake lights. Plus the PacBrake PRXB Exhaust Brake lights up the rear brake lights. However, when towing a trailer, the only time the trailer brakes are activated is when the service brakes are applied. The trailer brakes are not activated when the Exhaust Brake is being used. I have not towed a trailer with my Dynasty. I have towed my Saturn Vue a number of times but I use the RVIBrake 3 toad braking system which is NOT connected to any lights at all.
  21. @Kenster Those were not in your coach when it left the factory. I believe they originally had the typical Dometic Penguin AC/HP's unless the original purchaser had customed ordered the Coleman AC/HP's.
  22. @Kenster What brand of Heat Pump are we talking about?
