Ed Jones, I'm impressed even with the help. I had to lift the front drum a few weeks ago and almost torn my rotator cuff. You had to be a tough your guy. Good on you mate!

I just had my brakes inspected on my 07 diplomat. 115k 15 years old and back brakes were still 50% he replaced from pads drums were fine he did say all your braking is on front anyway I have plenty left on rear. Drums didn't have to be turned and front pads still had over a ¼ in but I replaced them anyway since he had everything apart. What is the mileage/ age of your brakes and how loaded are you. I'm ft and loaded

I have a traveler DTv four years old. How do you know if it's a conversion option or a replaced necessity? I want out of Dtv and probably going to fish unless I go full on internet with Musk but I'm leary of that option it's got growing pains I hear.

I forgot I started this thread a year ago. Sorry! Thanks David for past info

Has anyone had the opportunity in the last year or so to do a clay bar detail, color correction, 9H Pro ceramic coating or 10H marine coating on their RV and or pickup truck in the Southern California area. If any other areas are available I'll adjust for California pricing but please let me know what I'm looking at to have that done on my 40 ft diplomat and pick up thank you Joel

Richard, it's getting power from the Inverter, I assume, what parts of the Inverter am I looking at. Just put me tip on inverter end of com wire to magnum remote. The resets on Inverter are not disengaged and the green light is on? Where from here?

Just had a new GFI installed worked fine until I disconnected from shore power and it started up again. Kicks off with very small load when dry docking red light comes on blinking, power coming to it and won't reset with push of other button. It resets fine with the genny turned on. Haven't tried with shore power yet, still on the road headed toward Eugene OR. Any thoughts 07 Diplomat

This is for Chris T or anyone with the info, 2007 Diplomat right side front slide about 10 ft nothing on it but 2 recliners and a table needs a new floor from previous water damage. Outside bottom really starting to fall out from rot. What am I in for time materials and approx. Cost to replace?

To followup on this, I unplugged from shore power and all the outlets were dead. Replaced GFI and found a bad connection on the Inverter side of the telephone communication wire between the remote and the Inverter. Fixed the wire connector and the remote works, didn't have to replace it. New GFI and my plugs on the galley side of the coach work micro, duplex plugs, bar area but on my opposite side, curb side plugs don't work. Nor does the directv or box power up as well or on wall on vanity opposite the GFI in the commode closet. No popped brakers and no other gfi's I can find on the coach... What's next why are these plugs not working now can I have a faulty new GFI?? Or something else popped off somewhere?

Tim, I didn't do a hard reset on the Inverter just an off, sit, and back on. My GFI works of the Inverter but the inverter is working so it has to be a coincidence that both the magnum remote and GFI went together. I'm replacing both. My fridge, when installed after my Norco had an Inverter plug behind and that's the plug they used when installing my fridge. My GFI is in the bathroom and controls all my duplex plugs except my bedroom night table plugs. They are 110 shore power or gen. When no shore power I plug my Bipap and clocks into the bathroom GFI when no shore power. Fridge continues to work off Inverter and batteries when traveling. When you say switch brakers are off then reset do you mean at my panel breaker box or on the Inverter? There are no tripped brakers on my Inverter. And my breaker for the Inverter seems to be good although I have not yet checked power coming off the breaker.

Dwight, I agree on the magnum remote being bad. I'm calling about it tomorrow of course it happens on a weekend. As for the GFI, I am going to home depot tomorrow to switch out either way it's not resetting and I agree it should be getting power from the Inverter. As for kitchen lights and duplex outlets near bed, they work from shore power. My fridge, residential, was originally installed to work off the Inverter which is a msw 1200 series. Fridge should have read not working off Inverter had to run an extension from bedroom to back of fridge to power. Micro, TV, most outlets not working but fluorescent lighting is working. Galley totally out. I'm changing out both items... GFI and magnum remote. I'll keep the forum posted. Thx for the input.

Yes to Inverter, it's working fine, did a full reset of Inverter and remote. GFI is not resetting though nor is magnum remote displaying

Transfer switch? What does that mean, the ATS is bad, burnt contacts? Wouldn't my board work on genny or shore power if that were the case?

Will a bad GFI blank out the magnum board even if plugged in. I'm in a30amp site with no reading on the magnum no kitty to set AGS no amp readings but batteries seem to be charging 110 electric is ok, running extensions, Inverter is on at source. I tried unplugging the magnum 5 button in back and plugged back in. Nothing. Reset Inverter, nothing. No Inverter 12v working in coach including fridge. I ran extension to get the essentials, fridge, coffee reclining chairs etc. Any thoughts beyond GFI. Oh I checked panel, no breakers off.

Coach finished on assembly line Friday at 3pm one foot out the door and done.

I have the non lighted version with the Monaco name on the round hard plastic. Where can I find a replacement so I don't have to start fiddling with holes. TIA

Getting old sucks but getting older and wiser is wonderful. I'm only 72 and I enjoy the knowledge and wisdom I've developed over the years. I love visiting with the kids and slowly passing the reigns to them. watching them grow older and wiser. My mind says do it and my body answers back very loudly, ARE YOU NUTS? So let's all remember to stay busy and grow older and wiser, let's not GROW OLD!

Thanks again Tom, more good info. My son is coming out to visit. He'll do the "ground" work.

Thanks Steve

Thank you Jim, will do

Tom, all you said makes a lot of sense. I will start with changing out my AGM connections, clean and Tighten all. They are relativity clean with no corrosion but are 4 yo with very little attention. Then I'll follow your assumptions on genny but for that I'll have someone go under the 8k. I don't do ground work very well any more. At least now, if it happens again I know where to start to look if I haven't gotten to the fix yet. Thanks again, stay safe regards Joel

Tom, problem is my house batteries were at 12.9 and float charging just before I disconnected shore to start genny. Battery boost also didn't work. Same clicking. I did decide to leave the CG and 15 min down the road tried the gen start and voila it started while driving. Would like to know why it clicked and wouldn't turn over? Thanks so, it all points to batteries but boost didn't work and charge was at float before disconnecting shore. I mistakenly didn't get the secondary code, thanks for that link, saving that one. After moving a bit and it starting without the boost indicates low volts but the meter didn't tell that story. Thanks again for the responses. Stay safe all.

I've been parked for a few weeks so only 2 weeks since last start of gen. Tried today getting 3 blinking code clicking on prime and clicking on start not even trying to turn over. Tried from dash, from power wall and from gen itself. Reset gen breaker? Still no start??

They are for the support rod that locks the slide out shutting travel. You should have two adjusting poles to fit into slot and pad to sit on slide out when closed inside. 

My son and I both found it near impossible to push in on the hole button and move it either in the open, partially open or closed position of the awning. Also it looked like going from the last hole on the bottom to holes above it world decrease the pitch instead of lowering or dropping the pitch to get it where the top of the awning sloped toward the ground.
