  1. RV America put me with a company called Auto Owners Insurance. Don't know anything about American General.
  2. @Georgia Mike Mike, I opened up that same drawer to get a closer look. There are no "latches" like others have spoke about. The side tracks actually have somewhat of a detente which keeps the drawer closed. It operates like the rest of the drawers in the coach. The granite cover will not even raise up unless the drawer is completely out. I don't see anything mechanically that would restrict the drawer from sliding open. If something had fallen out and gotten caught I would think it would move at least a little. One suggestion is to remove the air vent on the right side of the dash, remove the air hose and push it aside to get a look at the inside at least on the right. The only way to see the left side is to remove the center dash and there are lots of air hoses back there. Sorry, I can't be of more help.
  3. I received my Progressive RV Insurance renewal in January for the March 1st renewal. OMG!!! The renewal bill came in at $2877 for a full pay discounted rate. SO, this month, I made up a list of 8 RV insurance companies to call for their current rate do do some comparison shopping. I only made three calls before settling on one company in particular that writes insurance for my state, Florida. My first call was to RVer Insurance Exchange. Second call was to National General Insurance and the third call was to RV America. They happen to be in that very same order from the top on my list. I never called the other 5 companies. RV Insurance Exchange quote came in close to the Progressive as they were quoting Progressive. National General came in around $2300. However, my third call was the "CHARM". That was to RV America which landed me at a brokers office in Tennessee. They quoted me a rate of $899 for one year with a company called Auto Owners Insurance. All three quotes were for basically the same level and type of coverage so as not to mix apples with oranges. The gentleman on the phone remarked that the state of Florida was only writing RV insurance policies with three companies, Progressive, National General and Auto Owners. Don't know if that statement is true or not. Well, this is a no brainer. My progressive policy will be cancelled at midnight February 29th and my new policy with Auto Owners Insurance company begins at 12:01 am March 1st.
  4. These are for the AT$T Connected Car Plan. They do not come with a SIM card. You have to provide that yourself. These devices do NOT time out so they are active 24/7. $50 plus shipping to your zip-code.
  5. One pair of fairly new Tyron Bands for 22,5 inch RV wheels. New mounting hardware included. $1000 plus shipping to your zip-code.
  6. There are four scales. Each scale has 20,000 Lb capacity measured in 10 lb increments. Intercomp Scale Model PT300 Two scales work perfectly, they power up and are fully calibrated. They are portable and each scale is powered with 6 AA batteries. One scale needs to be re-calibrated. It powers up and displays plus it zeros out but it is not accurate for weight. It definitely needs to be re-calibrated. The fourth scale does not power up and most likely needs to be factory checked. These are great for doing corner weights on RV's & motor-homes. Pickup only! $1000 or Make Offer.
  7. Mike, I will open mine up this morning to look closely at what may be causing your problem. I will repost later today. We use that drawer a lot.
  8. @NAMVET77 Don, I had purchased a package from one of our members here when he advertised it in the classifieds. It included two new complete solenoid valves plus multiple packages of the required o-rings for rebuilding. I scarfed it up quickly knowing the project I had ahead of me. Some time back I saw a posting where a member listed a new coil that would work on the HWH valves. I have kept that information just in case I needed it. Here are the Amazon links to that coil. http://tinyurl.com/2bzcfe59 http://tinyurl.com/ypjt8z6d I have not ordered any of these so I cannot confirm that they do work as a replacement. Obviously, you would need to replace the connector with the one from HWH to make it work.
  9. Yes, the filter is the least of the problems with the Aqua-Hot. I was forced to change mine once in the Windsor when I took on a full tank of bad fuel in the Yukon while coming back from Alaska. I had to change out both engine fuel filters, the Aqua-Hot filter and the generator filter to get everything back to normal. That was an interesting trip and back story.
  10. My previous Windsor uses the Racor R12T filter which has the clear water/debris trap bowl at the bottom. My Dynasty uses the standard filter without the water.debris trap at the bottom. I cant read the brand, etc. as the label is facing the other direction.
  11. 7.16 volts is not enough by a long shot. The Aqua-Hot will not work with voltage less than 12.1 VDC.
  12. The Racor R12T has a water trap bowl. The Garber Fuel Filter does not. https://hydronicheatingwarehouse.com/collections/frontpage/products/garber-fuel-filter
  13. It makes getting under the coach into a tight place only one time instead of two. Don't like working in that area more than I have to.
  14. That's exactly why I want the entire 6-Pack block removed to rebuild it on the bench. I can easily do a pressure test while it is sitting on the bench versus in the coach.
  15. I have all of the correct size o-rings plus a couple of solenoid valves for backup. Don't need a new one. I have Visone looking for a used one. Just need the part number in case they ask me for it.
  16. My reason for the part number is to get a used 6-Pack, rebuild it on my bench, then swap it out with the rear one. Then rebuild that one to swap it out with the one in the front. The tag one I can rebuild it without removing it.
  17. Do any of the members here know the part # for the HWH 6-Pack Air Manifold for the rear and front 6-Packs? Is there a separate air manifold for the Tag Axle? I have the HWH-2000 Air Leveling System with a Tag Axle. Thanks so much for your help!
  18. AFAIK, the hot and cold fresh water drains should be at a different location normally close to the floor and the drains go through the floor. You should be able to see the drains from under the coach.
  19. Bryan, Look at your service manual on page 1 which has a diagram of the 100-04. It shows the location of the boiler drain valve.
  20. Chances are the solenoid inside the small enclosed box has frozen up. Remove the cover and free up the solenoid. Also, lubricate any moving parts. Condensation builds up inside that box causing any moving parts to rust up and quit working.
  21. Wow! You are one lucky dude! I can't imagine what may have happened if you had not been there to find this failure so quickly. I installed one of those keypads in January 2023 but I had purchased mine from a vendor on eBay. No problems, thank God! Seems to me that there should be at least a one year warranty on the keypad.
  22. I posted last summertime the observations I had made with the sequence of operation of the Aqua-Hot model I now have in my 06 dynasty, 100-04 versus the older 431/12 I had in my previous 02 Windsor. I had discovered that with the 100-04 when parked for an extended time and hooked to 50 amp shore power, the diesel would fire up routinely even though I had the Electric Assist on. I found out that they share the same control thermostat. Whereas, I was accustomed to having both the diesel and electric assist switches on all the time with the 431/12. Needless to say, I now manage the Aqua-Hot switches differently with the 100-04 knowing what I know now.
  23. It could be parted out for a very handsome profit over $500. Don't count on fixing a cracked chassis frame though. One day I was at Josam's in Orlando for work to be done on my previous Windsor when I saw a very nice looking Monaco coach sitting in their parking lot. I asked what was going on with that coach and Barry (service manager) stated that it had rusted cracked frame members which he would not do any welding repairs on it. Reason was he would not guarantee a safe repair legally. The owner had acquired the coach fairly recently back then but then had to deal with his insurance company to see how to dispose of the coach.
  24. That link is only good for people who use Facebook. I do not and will not have a Facebook account. Been there and done that years ago for a few months before deleting my account.
