    Hydraulic Slides

    in General Motorhome Discussion

    Posted

    Just an update ..  so we had no problem with the slides activating...  I did look on the wiring diagrams and it looks like there are wires that come from the parking brake ..  one white (ground) and one red .. also there I believe there is a relay in the rear run board ..  I'm wondering if that might be on the way out. So I was wondering if anyone has replaced the parking "plunger" and if it comes with the electrical wires with it .. It looks like there is a wire that runs from the brake to the pump .   There is no problem with the electric slide..  It does not look as if that is tied into the parking brake . Any thought would be appreciates

    Thank you

    Looking for some help with my hydraulic slides.  We have a 2005 Dynasty with 4 slides (3 hydraulic and 1 electric) ...  Tonight I was loading up the motorhome I went to put out one of the slides and when I hit the switch,  one of the hydraulic slides "bumped" out about three inches  then stopped  the other two would not move ..  The electric was working fine...  I checked the bay doors and made sure that the plungers were good to go ..  they were ..  I then started up the motorhome, cycled through drive pushed the parking brake off then back on put the motorhome in neutral ...  shut it down and everything is working as it has for years...  My questions is...  I am assuming that there is a cut off switch some where ...  Is there one connected to the parking brake that might be going ?  Any information would be appreciated..

    Thank you

    Air Leveling Reset Button

    Hi Ronald

    I had the same thing happen to me last year..  I pressed every button and check every fuse and it ended up I had hit the button to raise my tag in error .  That caused an error in the leveling system ...  So I would check that ..  might be an easy fix ...

    Great information here ...  thank you 

    One last question......... I believe this is the unit that I would be looking at to replace my current 2005 13500 heat pumps....

     DOMETIC WHITE PENGUIN II 15,000 BTU HEAT PUMP AIR CONDITIONER 651816CXX1C0 

    I also know that I would need the  adapter control board is Dometic #3313107.107 (control board adapter kit) as well as a new gasket ..

    If someone might be able to confirm the unit numbers that you have used in the past, that would be great ..   I just looking to get my ducks in a row and order up (or wait for backorder)

    Thank you again

    Good Morning 

    Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts ...  I have a 2005 Dynasty with 3 roof airs ( 13500 Duo-Therm heat pumps) ...  They have all worked great up until this week..  The #2 is only blowing about 70 degrees..

    I have changed out some parts to see if it would help (I have quite a collection of spares) ...  Control Board, Capacitor, Start Capacitor, and the reversing solenoid valve...  The compressor does com on but doesn't seem to pull as many amps as the other units...  It hovers around 9.9 amps while the other units hit around 13 amps .  I have looked at the lines and don't see any obvious leaks..  According to my wife, the unit was making a noise like it was dropping ice a couple days before it stopped working ...  

    So the fan works, the compressor comes on but its just not that cold ...........  Am I missing something ?

    Thank you for your help

    Aqua Hot Overflowing

    in AC, Heating, and Cooling

    Posted

    Just wanted to give an update on my overflow problem. First a big thank you to everyone for your input and help.  Tonight I finally replaced the two high limit thermostats and the control thermostat.  It was pretty straight forward with the help of a socket that I purchased from Roger Berke along with the thermostats... And draining out about five gallons of antifreeze.....All filled up and back together and no more overflowing The furnace now shuts down when it gets up to temperature... so a happy ending !!!  Thanks again

    I just wanted to weigh in and say that I received my Control Board from Paul this afternoon.. I installed it and along with the cable, it was a very easy installation.. The Board works great.   I couldn’t be happier as I have felt that I was on borrowed time with the old Board. 
    I would recommend anyone that has the Opus to contact Paul for this replacement...

    Hi Jim

    Thank you for the information ...  that is a big help !!  I think the best thing to do is probably replace all three at once...  The most difficult thing is to get in there and work on the unit..  I love that its in the middle of the motorhome when it cold out but not when you have to work on it ....  I think I will get a socket and ratchet with a center hole for the install ...  Right now I'm using the electric side and then firing up the diesel when we need the hot water for showers then shut it back down ...  I think that the your right and its all of the above..  The main control thermostat should be shutting it down, it isn't then the high limit should be the fail safe...  that's not working either ...    I should be ordering them this week and I will report back.. Thank you again !!

    Just a follow up ...  After doing some recon....  I believe that it is the high temp thermostats....  I attempted to "swap" them over but that did not  work ...  The unit would not fire after I did that ..  So after the diesel side high thermostat fell apart in my hand, I'm going to purchase two and replace both as the electric side seems as if its going to let go too...  Has anyone changes these ??  do you know if or how much antifreeze you have to drain our of the system ??  Is it as easy (I say easy but nothing is easy sideways in the middle of the bay leaning on the furnace motor) unscrewing the current thermostat and putting in the new one ...  Looks like a socket might be the best way to tackle the removal ...  Any thought would be great .. Thank you

    Thank you to everyone for your help. I have reached out to Roger Berke.  I’m thinking’s or let’s say hoping that it’s the high thermostat.  I run it on electric and everything is fine.  We don’t get that much hot water but we never did.  I just drove home about three hours. Plenty of hot water from the engine heating if up.  And the overflow thank is dead in the middle of cold and hot. The only time it “over heats” is on diesel.. I’m going to wait until tomorrow when it cools off check the antifreeze then see how to change out the thermostat.   I did get in there when it was still hot and the resets where both intact.

    I will check that when I get back to the motorhome   I know that it was not overfilled as I’m the only service guy   I’m thinking and hoping that it’s a high limit thermostat reset   I will report back hopefully after I just hit the reset.  Thank you for all the help

    Good Afternoon First to all Veterans thank you for your service !!

    Hoping that someone might have some insight to my Aqua-Hot.. We have a 2005 Dynasty with Aqua-Hot and it been great until we pulled into a campsite today.  Turned the diesel side on and the furnace seemed to run for a long time.  While it was running I noticed that the overflow tank was overflowing all over the ground.  It seems like the furnace was not shutting off and over heating the antifreeze.. I was hoping that cycling the heat on would get rid of any air that might be in the system.  I heard a little gurgling but that cleared up quickly.  I turned on the diesel side again and the same thing happened. Any suggestions would be appreciated.. thank you !!

    AC Belt Replacement

    in General Motorhome Discussion

    Posted

    Good Morning ...  I was hoping that someone might have some insight on replacing the AC belt .  We have a 2005 Dynasty and I have been trying to figure out how to get the compressor loosened up to change the belt ..  It looks like there is a nut and a bolt that attaches to the mounting bracket but for the life of me I can not figure out how to loosen everything up ...  The more I look at it the more frustrated I get ..  I thought that there was a write up somewhere in the documents but I can't find that either ..  Any yelp would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hi Jim

    I did go with the Toyo...  bought 8 M144 295/R22.5 from Motor Home Tires in TN for $551.00 installed in my driveway outside of Boston ...  I was very happy with the deal. Good tires, I only have about 2000 miles on them but they ride the same as my Michelins
