I have hwh leveling system and never use it  . I air level.  

If you air level, then aren't you using the HWH leveling system?

Ditto on the reset, shouldn't have to do anything, the memory stays.

I agree with Ben their canned answer is it got wet.  Mine have never gotten wet that I am aware of, but a new control panel has fixed me up several times in the 13 years that I have had our coach, if the reset and checking the connection to the panel hasn't fixed it.

Definitely put me on the interested list!

I sure agree with Ron.  We have been full timing for over 17 years and the last several have been tough.  Although we winter in Florida, 4 months, the rest of the time we are on the move, usually out west, rarely staying anywhere for more than a week.  We used to try to be fancy free and not reserve, but now we are finding we have to make reservations almost a year in advance.  Everywhere we go the campgrounds are full, some favorites are completely booked for the entire season!

My fitting in that panel broke and I had to get an entire replacement panel to include the push in fittings, I couldn't find them anywhere.  But if you contact Actia Corp in Elkhart, IN, I'm sure they could tell you what they are or send you some.  The last number I have for them is  574-266-2640.

Contact Stone Vos, excellent quality and a member here.

Thanks David, that was my plan.

I have weighed my coach numerous times and it is adjusted properly right now.  It is presently set at 48psi, I intend to set the new regulator at 48psi until I can get weighed again.

Thank you very much David!  I have ordered and will get it tomorrow.

My tag regulator is leaking.  Wondering if anyone has discovered a good source for a replacement.  The one listed in the parts list doesn't look like mine.  Thanks in advance.

I think you said you have a Valid system, if you do, pull the fuse in the front run bay.  With Valid the pump will run based on the pressure switch and doesn't care if the leveling system is on or off.

I would like to add to this thread as well.  We just finished up this morning having all our Girard slide topper fabric replaced and in addition our Girard window awning and door awning fabric replaced.  From start to finish this job was handled wonderfully by Stone Vos, Ingrid getting all the awnings measured, double checked, priced and made.  Then coordinating with TalinRV with Amy, an appointment that worked for both of us.  It was such a breath of fresh air to have excellent communication, clear and precise descriptions, all the way down to an excellent description of when to show up, the night before, exactly where to park, where the place to plug in was and what to expect.  The techs, Dustin and Mike did an excellent job, great attention to detail, answered any questions I had, and got the job finished correctly and ahead of schedule.  The awning material is obviously of great quality and they knew their way around Girard products.  From the quote stage all the way through completion, my hat is off the Stone Vos and Talin RV people.  We have been RVing for a long time and full timing for over 16 years, and as many of you know finding a quality spot for service is almost impossible, I am happy to report we have added another and highly recommend them.

On ours either switch works the step cover regardless of the position of the other.

On our Nav, one switch is for the passenger front shade and the other for the step cover.

I like you couldn't repair mine, so I bit the bullet and ordered a set, the only way they come back in 2019 for $1750.  I lubed them up carefully and got them installed and one broke about 6 months later.  Thankfully they replaced the pair under warranty, but I did run an entire season with only one lock.  No problems.  We full time and travel almost continuously so I do know our slides go out and in more often than most.  Veruinks is where I got them.

Yes, I have a Detroit Series 60.  The only part number I have is DD 23520380

Try replacing the coolant sensor in the overflow tank.  That has fixed the same problem for me several times.  I usually get a few years out of them.

I recently gave up on Speedco as I was pulled out of line twice when semi's showed up.  Since I have a Detroit in my coach, I am now having Detroit Diesel do my oil and filter and chassis lube.

Give them a call, their customer service has always been great.

I just don't realize why in all my years and miles, I never had any problem or indication.

If the two battery banks are joined together while the alternator and the inverter/charger are both charging, the alternator and the inverter/charger are fighting against each other. It is better to disconnect the banks and let the alternator charge the chassis batteries and the inverter/charger charge the house batteries.

I can see this, but with my Big Boy system, I don't believe I can force the batteries apart?  I guess I will try to turn off the charger in the future, I am still puzzled why this all worked fine for years and years.

It also shares the same disadvantage that one has to make sure not to having your inverter/charger in the charging mode when you have the chassis engine running.  

 

I have been having a few issues with my alternator, replaced it and the new one lasted less than 2000 miles.  It was replaced under warranty, but the alternator guy said he felt there might be something wrong with my coach that caused the failure.  I told him the original alternator was good for 160,000 miles before it quit, and didn't think there was anything wrong with my coach.  I saw your comment and wondered about it, I have always run the generator anytime it is hot to run my AC's and have never turned the charger off.  I have never had a problem until now, but I am not sure I even have a problem and wonder if it is as simple as the new alternator was bad??  Can you elaborate on your comment please?  Thank you.

I look forward to hearing about that!

I ordered and promptly received a camera kit from Paul.  Today I installed it with one small glitch, and it had nothing to do with the kit.  It is complete even includes new hardware, and is completely plug and play!  We did it without removing the driver mirror easily, the wire slipped out and in with no problem, but on the passenger side we had to remove the mirror to get a better purchase on the wire and move some connectors around a bit.  The new cameras are fantastic, clear, nice resolution, small, unobtrusive.  Unfortunately it now shows how much the rear camera needs improvement.  Any ideas on that?  Thanks Paul for a great replacement kit for the side cameras!

Sorry it has been sold
