  1. The screws were probably put into some sort of structure and rusted. When I removed a long section of belt molding a lot of the screws broke off. I didn't bother trying to remove, just drilled new holes.
  2. I was removing the old analog TV mounted in the overhead center cabinet. This exposed the front cap and the solenoid was behind the audio equipment cabinet above the driver. From memory there was yellow tubing going to/from the air solenoid.
  3. Mine was located behind the over head cabinets. I happened to find it while replacing the TV.
  4. There is a big inconvenience using a CC, there are usually limits at the pump as to how much you can pump and/or how many times you can swipe a card. For me having options is a big draw on setting up either TSD or Mudflap, plus the quicker fill time.
  5. I agree on the Sam's club and she usually tries to find one. We have pretty good range with a 128 gallon tank. Not sure of her exact route (not eve sure she is) so trying to provide her with the info would be difficult. My advice to her would be to sit down the night before she needs fuel and plan the stops, >>> Good Luck with that🤬
  6. figure out if “the juice is worth the squeeze “ >> That pretty much sums up every thing I buy. I seldom do impulse buys and when possible shop the internet for things I need. My wife on the other hand is pretty much opposite, She buys on a whim a lot. For some reason she has been buying Foo Dogs>> Chinese Lion dog statues. Doesn't make sense to me unless they somehow retain value and she can use them as her retirement plan🤑 All good info on the TSD & Mudflap cards. I found the Maverick stations to be the best option out west and usually good access, good to know I might be able to save $$$ using the cards. I have been looking at the territory that the two cards cover. I go to northern Wisconsin on a regular basis and there aren't any Mudflap station but TSD does have some in the town I'm from and the prices is good. I just have to now convince my wife to at least keep these options open. I'll try and load both apps on her phone and show her how to use them. She even has to the ability to use my phone number on her phone while she's using them so I don't have to worry about getting her access etc. Also took a leep of faith and am getting her a Sam's Club CC under my name tied to my account. I've got a high credit limit which might help in an emergency. Just hope she doesn't go crazy and buy a Foo Dog
  7. Thanks Bill Yours is probably a better long term solution and looks a lot better. But mine solved my problem for the short term and was relatively easy. The area I repaired was in the wet bay, so I would have had to contend with the dump valves and the rest of the plumbing. I'll have to keep an eye on it for sure
  8. I'll let smarter minds then mine answer that one. Not saying it can't be done but I'm not giving advise out of my wheel house.
  9. I think your current inverter has two outputs going to you main panels. The Freedom only has one output based on the spec sheet I looked at.
  10. That's my next job is to figure out what is involved with each card. I've read that with MudFlap you have to go into the store to show the code, which texted to you phone. Besides having the card with TSD are there any other requirements. I do like the map that pops on Mudflap, gives a good view of access which is important when pulling toad. When I look for diesel ahead of time I'll pull up google earth on my laptop to get an idea of access etc. Most of the time that's good enough. The Sam's club nearest us ~25 miles away has good access and I usually fill up there on my way back home. That way the tank is full waiting on the next trip. But I've been to some Sam's clubs that has very poor access to the point I decided to pass trying to get fuel. I showed my wife the 3 different apps, she was not thrilled. She is use to finding low prices on GasBuddy so at least I know she might do OK going that route. But always to have options.
  11. So I decided to set up both the Mud Flap and TSD accounts. First glance both have benefits. I can use a CC or bank debit for the Mudflap but have to use a debit for the TSD. Not thrilled about that but it is what it is. I downloaded both apps to my phone to see the coverage in the Knoxville. Once set up navigating each app was easy. They both have about the same number of stations listed but most are not the same. Prices seem to be similar, and compared to Gas Buddy maybe a little cheaper but not sure what the fees apply when using either Mud Flap or TSD. Having options on multiple stations helps. BUT my wife ain't thrilled about using either. Going to have to convince her of the benefit. But I am going to get her a Sam's CC to take advantage of the 5% fuel rebate.
  12. Wow, Wonder what caused all the fuses to fail, that's more then I've had total in the 15 years I've owned the coach other then a self inflicted issue I caused myself. FWIW, When I bought my coach in 2008 the radio didn't work, CD did. Replaced with the same radio but it only lasted ~3 years. Replaced with a newer version, it failed after ~4 years. Now on my 3rd one ~7 years, did go back with the same brand because it had the connection for the remote pod in the bedroom which I really like.
  13. Are you soaking using WD40 I used PB Blaster and didn't have any problems, I soaked for 2 days and got all of the studs out. There are other concoctions that people use also
  14. Multizone is how the AC's are wired with an AC usually representing one zone. I have two AC so 2 zones, in my case the bedroom is zone 1 and the LR is zone 2. My furnace shows up under Zone 2.
  15. What is wrong with you shades? Mine are made by Colorado When both of ours quit working we found a blown fuse. The the passenger side would not work. Took it down and found the small motor failed. I actually think my wife put something on the passenger side console where the switch was and it was pressing the shade switch. When I took the shade apart the motor got so hot that it melted the plastic end. I ended up replacing the small motor, found on on Amazon that would work, slightly smaller but has the same mounting and speed.
  16. Can you look in the cabinet next to it and see if there are any wires or pipe going to that corner and out.
  17. I don't recognize that form of fault code, how did you recover the code? I'm use to an SPN FMI type code, which I can take and find info from the Cummins Quickserve website. It will explain the fault code and then provide detailed info on how to troubleshoot and repair.
  18. There was a recent post that showed good prices from Walmart but not sure if it was a heat pump. I replaced both both my units in 2021, both two from PPL for $2700 including tax and shipping. I just checked and most of the models are out of stock. It would cost ~$4K at current prices. Good luck
  19. When I replaced my cups and gaskets the old cups were really brittle. I bought new cups "just in case" glad I did, I threw the old cups away.
  20. Can you see if there is any wiring etc run in that box or is it just a filler piece?? Could it be cut down a little?? Possibly removed and replaced with a wood covering and stained to match the door.
  21. Tractor supply has a large assortment of bolts with a lot sold by the lb for good prices I needed two small 5/16 bolt, that they sell by the pound. bought some other stuff and when I checked out the clerk tried to weigh the two small bolts, not enough weight so it registered $0. 👍
  22. Back in 2015 my computer was hacked, ransom ware. Called the bank VP at 11PM and she came into the office and isolated all my accounts. From then I've been real cautious about the accounts. Not saying that someone couldn't access the other accounts but the bank VP>now the President has assured me that the individual accounts are safe BUT you never know. I've got automatic payment on a bunch of different things>>> electric, phones, internet....... One more but with a different account won't hurt. But I have been thinking about opening another high yield account with a different back that offers better terms.
  23. I need to go to my bank and see if I can create a different account. If not may have to just associate with my CC and take the 1.9% hit >>>> but I'd still get a 1% rebate on general merchandise , not as good as 5% but better then nothing. And I know that both my CC's have good fraudulent claims polices, never had a problem getting a charge removed and my Sam's card will call and confirm a charge if it looks suspicious.
  24. To work correctly there as to be drain tubing run from the inside down through the walls. My guess is that on certain models Monaco did install the drains but may not have used the AC's with the drain cups. If you do have the tubing installed you can install the drain cups. The kit includes a gasket, the cups, cross over tubing, a T, and the hose clamps. Not hard to install but to do it correctly you have to disconnect the wiring. You could take a chance and cut the gasket and then glue it back together. ~5 years ago did both of mine, then when I replaced the AC's I used the cups again.
