  1. I’m probably not much help as I have the Ramco mirrors with cameras but I have the Zone Defense monitor with direct plug in. Maybe an adapter of some sort?

  3. You might call Lise Bauer who worked for Flexsteel (if yours are Flexsteel’s) and may know a source.
  4. I have a 2004 Knight Schematic with 50 pgs. Not sure how it compares to the 2006 of 50pgs.
  5. That’s a tough one! I replaced mine but then I have a 09 Knight. When u find out, also find out if you need the 1” spacer that goes behind the fan. Mine was installed without it and my engine overheated. Because the fan wasn’t far enough into the shroud and the air mostly went around it. Spacer now in and it runs cool. Unfortunately I do not know your dimensions.
  6. So what is the cost of the Polaris sensor compared to buying the Kongsburg pedal and sensor?
  7. I uploaded about 200 + schematics fo my 2009 knight in the files. Not sure if they will help or not.
  8. I bought from Irvine Shade & Door. Had them in a previous coach. https://www.irvineshadeanddoor.com/
  9. I took my unit out for repairs. I’ll be home tomorrow if you want directions on how to remove. Send me a private email and we can talk over the phone if your ok with that. I hate typing!!! Gary
  10. Me too! Thought we would be doing this a lot longer, but life changes.
  11. We’re ok! Just too many out of pocket medical expenses. Plus IRS mistakes in 2015-2017 and now they are wanting $$$$$$.
  12. Our 09 Knight 38 PKQ coach has been listed for hopefully a quick sale. Down sizing to a rental tiny home. NEED TO SELL SOON!!!
  13. We recently replaced ours as it did the same thing. Unfortunately what died was the 90 degree gearbox that drives the rack and pinion. We ended up replacing whole unit at a cost of $750. Did the work myself. PM me if you want the good and the bad if this is also your problem. My motor and gearbox combo were fine. Just the 90 degree worm gearbox was the problem.
  14. I used what Tom suggested. Did my slide roofs, front and rear cowlings and shower skylight.
  15. I have similar issues. Heading to desert to hopefully be able to stay away from wet weather. And hopefully the wind will be kind to me. Good luck!!!
  16. I also have the 9 leaf in my 09 Knight. But have never of them going bad. But this may give u a broader range in looking for the hinge since my 09 has them too.
  17. I only talked to tech support as parts sent me to them. He immediately sent me back to parts. The 117292 was the direct replacement for my 133612. The two issues with their replacement part was in essence not their fault unless they gave the wrong dimensions to Venture who is owned by Lippert. I had great conversations with Lippert once I had someone who understood my issue. And in my first call to buy the part from Lippert, I told them I found cheaper prices on the same unit elsewhere. They said no problem they would match that price with certain requirements, but didn’t have any they could get to me pronto. Also they sent me a $1000 hydraulic motor free for a spare two years ago. Very kool of them. So other than this part not being a “Direct Bolt Up” without some modifications, I’ve had good dealings with them.
  18. Update: Couldn’t find jus the 90 degree gearbox, so I ended up calling and conversing with Lippert on my situation. Apparently on all the groups I belong to, no one has had an issue with that gearbox. I guess I get the prize for being the first. Go figure. Lippert did not have a replacement (117292) in stock to get to me in time as we have to move on down the road. So I purchased one from etrailer. Received it next day. HAPPY FACE. HERE IS WHERE THE NOT SO FUN BEGINS: Right out of the box I noticed the New and Improved motor and gearbox that mounts to the 90 degree gearbox that mounts to the slide rail was for lack of words, wiggling. Started a case number with Lippert to complain about this “Venture” design issue. Explained I needed to install now and would take steps to make it more secure and didn’t want the warranty to be voided. Alls good says Lippert. I have to separate the two units to mount to slide rail (114754) only to find out the measurement from shaft center to mounting holes on 90 degree gearbox don’t match original Tuson gearbox. Back Lippert I call and add this issue to my case number. Had to talk to several people there to explain they need to let “Venture Mfg.” know about this “Direct Bolt Up Design “ failure. Had to modify with a die grinder the mounting holes on the slide rail bracket. Easy peasy. Oops I need to grind some of the rail out too as the flange bolts now run into it. All documentation sent to Lippert just incase something fails down the road. After purchasing the New and Improved 117292, I found RV Upgrades has 19 of my model 133612 in stock. Go figure!!!! Could not get any Lippert person to explain the design change. Suggested Lippert discuss this to Venture Mfg. Failure of my part in my opinion was no lubrication. Lippert 117292 now is installed with mods to rail 114754.
  19. @Gary M EDIT NOTE. This is a FOLLOW UP. Please do not start a new topic for a follow up. This had to be Merged with the original as there is no continuity and folks who were involved might not get the feedback, they richly deserve. End of Edit. Thanks to Peter Schweitzer and Kenneth Cox for info on my issue. Once spacer was installed it put the fan in the correct position to push all the air through the fan housing to the radiator instead of around the fan housing. After the install I took coach from shop on 17 mile trek (1500 altitude) to my home base (5200 altitude) on a steady climb using 2nd thru 4th gear and engine max temp was 204 a couple of times for only maybe 15 seconds and averaged 196-199. HAPPY DANCE!!!!!!!!
  20. Got drive shaft and worm gearbox out finally. Had to cut a hole in engine cover to get it out. There was already a hole for plumbing etc. Just made it bigger. Apparently the worm gearbox only is sold with motor/gearbox. Not sure if the new and improved model will be a direct bolt up or not yet till I start talking to people Monday. Pics of what I had to do to remove worm gearbox.
  21. That’s just one problem! It doesn’t move. Need to get complete shaft out first. Literally no room for pullers. And it has to exit to the left with not enough room to do so unless I cut right side of shaft off. At least as far as I can see right now. I was hoping it was the plastic gear that usually fails but it was good.
  22. I’ve seen posts on replacing the motor/gearbox on the bed slides but not any on the worm gearbox that attaches to the motor/gearbox. My motor/gearbox is ok, but I need the worm gearbox. Naturally it’s a Lippert part, but not sure if it can be purchased separately. Any info would be much appreciated. And still trying to figure out how to remove other half of worm gearbox still on shaft. 09 Knight 38PKQ
  23. The owner of the shop and I talked to Source Engineering. Looking for part number of spacer (Cummins #). Jim at Source will have info Monday to order it.
