My 2002 Windsor's outside battery cutout switch compartment door latches are defective. They are a Southco vise action compression latch type. Does anyone have the correct part number for these latches? The latches I have now could be rotating the wrong way when latching when they do work. Thanks, Rich

That is exactly what I was trying to write Rick N. I hope I didn't confuse anyone with my thoughts. I do appreciate all responses from everyone. Richard

Several have commented on the insta-hot electrical outlet under the sink. That outlet is on the GGI circuit fed from the inverter sub-panel. Richard

I investigated my route for my new circuit for our induction cooktop. The existing refrigerator circuit to the main panel is run through the ceiling. I will disable that circuit and run from the main panel horizontally back to the bedroom TV cabinet, then down to the washer/dryer area, then horizontally forward to the kitchen slide out using the wire case along the floor, then route up along the countertop/cabinet to a new jbox containing a 20-amp combination switch/outlet under the sink along the cabinet wall. I will use 12/2 MC Lite cable to make the run from the main circuit panel to the combination switch/outlet. One question, can the MC Lite cable be used with screw type connections with the combination switch/outlet? Richard

My plan is to investigate the non-used refrigerator outlet on the roadside of the kitchen, fed from the Main Distribution Panel in the bedroom. Hopefully it is a 12-2 romex like the print indicates. Pull it from under the Samsung into the storage bay, mount a jbox, then see where to go up into the slide out area on the curbside kitchen. Not sure how to solve the slideout movement for the romex. Any help would be appreciated. Rich

The Norcold refrigerator is gone. Samsung is plugged into inverter outlet. Both main and sub-panels are located in the rear bedroom-curb side. Induction cooktop is on a kitchen slideout-curb side. Richard Cole

Looking at my induction cooktop manual, power specifications is 1800 watts = 15 amps, serviced by 14- gauge wire, protected by 15-amp circuit breaker. I will investigate the behind the refrigerator heater circuit and use that source plus upgrade if needed. I'm hoping for 12-2 romex cable on a 20-amp circuit.

We have a 2002 Windsor 40PST. Just replace our gas cooktop with a True two burner induction cooktop. Want to run a new separate electrical circuit from the inverter subpanel located in the bedroom to the kitchen. I would like to mount an outlet box with cutout switch under the cabinet near the front. How do I fish a new romex wire from the subpanel to the kitchen? What is the proper and safe way to wire the switch and outlet in the new box? Also, I do not have a wiring diagram for a Windsor 40PST. Thanks for your help. Richard Cole

To make my 02 Windsor all-electric coach, I want to replace the gas cooktop with a True Induction double burner TI-2B counter insert cooktop. I noticed an enclosed area above the silverware drawer where the gas cooktop set in will have to be removed for ventilation and some countertop will have to be cut out and some countertop gap filled in. Appreciate any guidance to help me complete this upgrade. Rich

Planning a trip next summer to explore Wisconsin. We will be coming out of the UP of Michigan and would like recommendations of where to visit and good campgrounds to stay. Thanks, Richard

Thats alot to digest Tom. One thought I had, since my fronts (75R) are 16 ply, rated at 7,160 lbs each, they would cover the front axle weight. Could I use the same steer tire for the rear which is rated 6,610 lbs. each without causing any problems with wearing? Richard

I wanted to update my post. Tom was right about axle weights. Took a picture of the placard behind the drivers seat. Front axle - 13,000 lbs. /Rear axle - 23,000 lbs. Top placard lists 295/80R22.5 for front and rear tires. The bottom placard lists 205/80R22.5 tires front and rear. My new front tires are 75R but the placard recommends 80R. It that OK? All drive tires I have found have a max load of 5,675 lbs. Will 75 lbs make a difference or should I find a different tire that will work with my new fronts. Thanks, Richard

HI All, It is time to replace all four drive tires. The old tires are 295/75R22.5 Yokohama 104ZR. I was looking at the Hankook AL21 load range "G" tires. The rear axle GAWR is 36,000 lbs. on my Windsor and the tire is rated at 5,675 lbs. each. This seems strange that an over the road truck tire wouldn't handle the weight of my coach. Is there something I'm missing to purchase the correct tire? Any help would be appreciated. Richard

My 2002 Monaco Windsor's driver's wiper goes beyond its normal travel point on windy days. Not sure which part needs replacement yet but where can I find replacement parts? Thanks. Richard

Since I'm on the road, I'll rachet strap the generator slide to something until we get home for repair. Thanks for everyone's input. Rich
