I had 2 NAPA 12v Wet Commercial starting Batteries with18 Months Free Replacement part # 7236. They lasted 8 years which I think is pretty good in Florida, especially when I don't use my RV that much. They were $236.68 total for both, out the door. Just priced 2 new, same model $363.54 includes 20% promo till end of April. Reserve Capacity 175 min Cranking Amperage 1170 A Cold Cranking Amperage 950 A Is that a good deal or any suggestions. 2001 Monaco Diplomat 40' 330 Cummins Pusher Thanks, Mitchell

Also, should or can the generator be running? Mitchell 2001 Monaco Diplomat 40'

I have a 2001 Monaco diplomat Cummins 330. When my starting batteries run low, wondering what the proper procedure is for using the auxiliary start switch, which is on the panel to start the engine using the house batteries. I read once you have to hold it down for at least two minutes but I'd like to know some opinions or processes. Mitchell 2001 Monaco Diplomat 40'

Thanks for all the help. I ended up using my original formula which I got out of a few books seems to of worked fine. Again thank you for all your responses. Mitchell Goldman Monaco Diplomat 40' 2001

Maxxair 00-965007 Turbo Maxx 3-Speed Fan My Max air vent cover was damaged after the hurricane a few weeks ago. It was very brittle due to the age of my RV 2001. Spoke with the company that made the vent cover, it is no longer available. Already went through a bit of a rainstorm no leakage inside, as there is a cover over fan that can be opened from inside RV, but I would like to get it outside covered just in case. Any ideas on repair or replace, fan works fine, it's just the cover. Not sure if you can separate the two. I duct taped (used a lot of tape) a trash bag firmly with cardboard inside for stability, it blew off within the first 10 miles of highway travel. Any ideas on repair shops, parts or jury-rigged thoughts. I'm at Gamble Rogers State Park Flagler Beach Florida, will be heading towards Tampa and Clearwater next week.

With all my reading I've never seen anything talking about use only non chlorine bleach please explain what the problem would be.

Also is it bad to leave the bleach solution in the tank for a day or two?

RV stored in Florida for two years with Well water in tank (100 Gallons). Want to refresh and clean out house water tank. Read in an RV book: 1. Drain water tank completely refill halfway with clean water 2. Mix 1/4 of a cup of household bleach for every 15 gallons of tank capacity in a container with a gallon or two of clean water. 3. Pour this mixture into the water tank and top off the water tank with fresh water. 4. Drive the rig around the block a few times to mix the solution. 5. Pump the bleached water out of every faucet, at least a quart. Run the water through the hot water tank thoroughly. 6. Let water stand for a few hours. Then drain the entire tank including the hot water tank. 7. To remove bleach odor mix 1/2 cup of baking soda with a gallon of water and pour into the fresh water tank. Circulate that water through all faucets and hot water tank. 8. Let sit for a few days drive the rig around the block a few times then drain the system and fill with fresh water. Any other ideas or any corrections to what I just wrote would be greatly appreciated thank you, Mitchell Goldman Monaco Diplomat 40' 2001

You guessed it klcdenver The mechanic just came to my house with an air dryer replacement. The larger o'ring was not in alignment and broken. New one seems to be working.

I was in the RV as it was changed. If they fully drained the tanks I would of heard the low pressure alarms when I started the engine. Do the tanks ALWAYS get drained when changing the air dryer filter

I will be speaking to them and I believe they will come out. He mentioned we maybe got a faulty air dryer. Anything I can check? Would I hear air leaking or any other simple checks?

Just the filter. I had all filters changed, fuel, oil and air dryer. Very few traffic lights or stops to home, but just made it.

2001 40' Monaco Diplomat 330 Cummins Roadmaster Chassis Had a mechanic replace a 10 year old air Dryer. Driving home every time I braked air pressure would go lower but never would build higher. Any ideas? 2001 40' Monaco Diplomat 330 Cummins Mitchell of Florida

Need recommendation on various general repairs as close to Clearwater Florida but will travel within 100 miles of home. Have had work at Lazy Days and Alliance in Wildwood FL before but always looking for the latest recommendations. Also Camping World in Tarpon, usually disappointed there. Awning, replace waterpump (house water), power steering gearbox leaking. Liking this new site, been a member since 2010 Mitchell G 2001 Monaco Diplomat 40' 330 Cummins Diesel Pusher
