I don't remember it making that loud clicking sound before.  Is that normal?  I see on the parts list two fuel pumps.  One is designated Aux Fuel Pump.  I assume that is the one used during the prime process.  Thanks!

Yes, it has a starter solenoid. Does the switch light flash on and off when attempting to start?

Have you tried starting the coach engine first then try starting the generator?

Are there any flash codes displayed on the start switch?

Just found out it's the primer pump that's making the noise!  I continued to hold in the Start and it cranked up and ran fine!  The primer has never made that noise before.  It does the same thing with the engine running.  Maybe the primer fuel pump is going out?

Joe, depending on the outside temperature you may have to hold the start button longer.

Yup, I'm used to that.  This is different.  The fast clicking starts immediately after pressing the start button.  Does it have a starter solenoid?

I have an Onan Quiet Diesel 7500 genny in our 2002 Windsor that suddenly won't start or even turn over.  I try to exercise the coach and genny every month or so, and it started fine last time.  Today when I press the start button I hear a fast clicking inside the genny cabinet.  The clicking is immediate when pressing the button, not after it primes.  It's a dull-sounding clicking.  I thought the house batteries might be low but they are at full charge.  Has anyone had this problem?

Joe

That one looks a lot smaller than the one on our 2002 Windsor!

About a year ago I bought two front tires through the FMCA Michelin Advantage program.  They arranged for a commercial tire dealer near me to do the installation.  Very happy with the pricing and the service!  🙂

Joe

Right after getting our 2002 Windsor in 2012 I installed a set of SteerSafe stabilizers just to help in controlling the coach in case of a front tire blowout!  Thank God I haven't found out if they work!  🙂

I'd have to measure and get back to you. Roughly 6" wide x 4" tall x 1/2" thick. It fit perfectly into the emblem indention on the front of my coach. 

Thanks!  🙂

Stone Vos has a high-quality acrylic fabric that is great!  They perfectly matched the original awning material and pattern on our 2002 Windsor!  They are really good folks to deal with!  🙂

What is the size of this emblem?  Thanks!  🙂

Joe

I highly recommend the high-quality acrylic awnings from Stone Vos!  They provided material that perfectly matched the original awnings on our 2002 Windsor!  Great people to deal with!  🙂

I had the problem with the top seal on my bedroom slide.  This is what I do to fix it!

Thanks! 🙂

Every time I see a post about hydraulic jack problems it makes me more thankful for our air leveling!  🙂

Joe

When we bought our 2002 Windsor back in 2012 I immediately installed the SteerSafe steering stabilizers to provide additional control in case of a front tire blowout.  The coach is very stable in high crosswinds!  🙂

Joe

My air pressure leaks down pretty fast too!  My aux compressor for the leveling system seems to work fine so I don't worry about it! 🙂

Nope, no luck but I have not taken it off of the mounting bracket as yet. I am going to pound on it with a hammer while my brother activates the switch to see if I can knock it into action once again. I did find a used replacement and will purchase it if my idea fails. Then once I have more time to look the failed one over to see if it can possibly be repaired it or I may rebuild it for a future spare.

I would use a rubber mallet for that!  🙂

Joe

If your Norcold has adequate capacity then I would consider the compressor-type cooling unit from JC Refrigeration.  It gives you all the advantages of a residential unit without the hassle of making one fit the space!  JMHO

What the heck is a shower door sweep? 

Joe

Thanks for the reply Scotty!  It just seems odd that we can only see one page of posts for each thread.  I'm still trying to learn the ins and outs of the forum! 🙂

Unfortunately, the newer Duo Therms are not holding up like the older models. Dustin has had to do several change outs of newer duo therms.

The Coleman's seem to be more robust and are holding up much better.

Just seems that as time moves forward, quality moves backwards.

Yup, that's why I bought the 5-year extended warranty on both new Penguin II heat pumps!   I don't normally buy extended warranties but figured this would be a wise decision!

Joe

How can I see older posts within a specific forum?  Thanks!

Joe

I wasted money on three cheapo dash cams before deciding to get a good one.  Back in October I bought a Rove R2-4K high-definition (4K).  It has built-in GPS  which I really like.  The video recording is incredible and shows the exact GPS coordinates and speed.  It's very easy to program and use.  I got it on sale at Amazon for about $100, including a 32Gb memory card.  🙂

Joe

Many folks travel with the furnace on.  Just remember to turn off the LPG when fueling, especially with gassers.  We usually run the generator and use the heat pumps when driving.  

Joe

As Richard said, do the factory reset on the thermostat.  Chances are that will fix the problem!
