    My 06 Knight has a flare fitting inside that opening like yours, but it has its own shutoff.  However, I found that trying to use a grill—like yours—with its own regulator did not work.  Something about two regulators is the problem.  So I added a T at the source. Ran a separate 1/2” copper line to the rear where I use the grill.

    You have to remove the grill's regulator...

    I have the black pipe coming from the driver side after the regulator coming over to the pass side. It was capped off and I found the required fittings to connect to the barbeque. Problem is no gas coming through. there is not an additional cutoff in the black pipe as i can see it all the way back to connection point. Yes on board tank is full and burners in kitchen work properly.

    Did you remove the regulator from the grill? You can't have 2 regulators.

    I talked to Melissa, she was able to cancel & arrange a refund.

    Very good service!

     

    I am going to call her this morning, unfortunately I have a surgery date I have been waiting for since December. If someone wants my spot, it will be available.

    I also want to let the group know we will not be attending.

    So, today when I left the motorhome ~9AM to go see Big Bend NP the weather was still a little chilly so I didn't bother setting the AC's to run while I was gone.

    About 1PM, in the middle of the park, I actually had a phone signal so decided to check.  Yikes the front temp reading was 95F and the bedroom was 89.  So I went ahead and turned on the front AC.  As I drove I was in and out of cell phone coverage but ~2:30PM when I had a signal the coach has cooled down considerably and when I got back a little after 3PM it was comfortable. 

    Can't beat that. 

    What internet provider do you have in the coach, obviously always on...?

    Dave I have a load tester that I only used on single batteries so my question is do I treat them as one and test the load all together or do I have to separate them and test them individually ?

    Separate & test individually. 

    Also see if they are charging with engine running, (volt meter), if not, why?

  6. Your house batteries should be charging with the engine running. The residential fridge does not pull that much, shoud be able to run overnight without batteries going too low.

    I would get them load tested, & find out why they are not being charged by the alternator.

    To center the steering wheel on a Monaco you open up the plastic around the base of the steering column, remove the pinch bolt on the u-joint, drop it down, center the wheel, pull it up and re-insert the bolt.  Takes about 10 minutes. 

    This will center the wheel, but you should first check to see if the steering box is centered, as mentioned above. Turn wheel lock to lock, center should be the same # of turns each way. If it is not, adjust the drag link to center it first, then center wheel as needed.

    On my coach, it requires one of the screws to be connected to the chassis ground.  For the clearance lights, there is also a switch on the dash to flash the lights as a "thank you" indication when someone lets you pass, etc.  It was a very odd configuration that I originally thought would be an easy change out...  ended up taking me the better part of a day!!!

    We have both headlight & marker blink buttons on our smartwheel.

    Purchased some new side led marker/turn signals (see attached) to replace the old ones. The old lights have only two wires whereas the new led lights has three wires. The problem I am having is I can only get the turn signals to work and then only one of the two led bulbs work. In checkIng the package the lights are for brake/turn/stop lights. Anyone have suggestions or will these lights just not work. 2002 windsor

    Do you remember where you got these?

    I could use 2 pairs...

  10. Rick is correct on the "floating" ground.

    Some cars used the same system years ago, the 2 wire ungrounded marker light was connected to both the run & turn circuits. 

    When the turn signal was off, the marker was grounded thru the turn filament, so the running light was on. When the turn signal is on, the marker bulb it "hot" on both sides during each blink, causing the marker bulb to blink off, then between blinks, the marker bulb sees ground, so it blinks on. You can confirm it is wired this way by watching the marker & turn signal alternate blinks. I just had this issue when I changed my tail lights to led. With the running lights on, power backfeeds to the turn filament, so it only flickers when signal is on, due to constant feed thru the marker bulb. I will just disconnect the wire to the turn signal & ground it. This makes the marker only a marker, but that is ok, you can see the curved taillights from the side as well...

    Edit to show confirmation of success...
