These images are on a Diplomat I found listed for sale.  Anybody know the source of the ceiling light fixtures?  Thanks.

I have used Smart RV Route for several years.   https://www.smartrvroute.com/smartrvhome/

Not free, but not too expensive.

I own a Winegard Pathway, and it looks like the one in your picture.  I've got  Wifi and a ROKU with Netflix so I've only set the dish up 4-5 times in the last 6 years.  It locked on every time.  Pathway instructions recommend less than 50' of coax between the dish and the receiver.   The 1 time I experimented with a 75' coax, it wouldn't lock on. 

Yep

My alarm goes off when I drive in the rain.  The hard it rains, the louder the alarm.
I read (probably on here or on irv2) that it is likely an ABS sensor.

I tried to port a phone to Visible, but they couldn't get it working.

When I signed up for a new number thru Visible it was a smooth process.   When I tried to port a number over to them, it was a 2 week nightmare.
Visible's business model of only on-line customer service is far from stellar.  Downright sucky. 
But once I was able to fight through the issues, it has worked great for 2  years.

Nice set-up with the huge Android screen.  I went a different route for hands-free music.  There is a dedicated phone using Visible cell service tethered to a small wireless router so the bus has it's own always-on WiFi Network.   The original head unit was replaced with a Pyle CD player that has an auxiliary input.  The aux input is fed by a Chromecast audio device on the network.  And finally, there is a Google Home Mini, also on the network.   The result is a voice controlled juke box while parked or going down the road.  "OK Google play Elvis from YouTube Music on the Monaco Chromecast Audio" and it is piped through the coach.  Volume is also voice controlled.

Great work.  The site has saved me hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars.

A Sig & a Tesla?  I'd be looking at an enclosed trailer.

50+ years ago I had a generator on my Schwinn that I could engage to contact my tire & spin.  The spinning generator wheel would generate enough electricity to light the bulb in my headlamp.  The faster I pedaled, the brighter the light.   I've often wondered why Tesla can't put their cars in a same generating mode so that while being towed it would charge it's own batteries.   Maybe that's why I become a creative guy and not and engineer.

Following.  Mine needs replaced too.

I have the same coach with the same engine.  Consistently ran at 210, slight upgrade would bring it temp to 215-220.  Warning buzzer came on at 215.  
First exchanged coolant with Zerex ZXPCRU1.  (The capacity is in the Owners Manual)   No difference.
Then bought a gallon of Simple Green and with a garden sprayer.  Doused it from the outside, and opened the floor hatch in the rear closet and soaked it from there.
Waited 15 minutes and thoroughly hosed it off with a garden hose from the inside and out.
It now runs at 181.  Towing a jeep up a hill has never topped 190.
 

Steven, I have the same coach.  I like your window valences.  No vertical pieces and no strings attached.   What replaced the day/night shades?

I bought these for my '05 Diplomat.  I don't know if they are the same for your '05 Knight.

I've had good luck at Visone in Kentucky for finding used parts.   https://rvparts.visonerv.com/

The back of the manual of my '05 Dip says 4 lbs.

Great site.

I had my guy install a saddle valve, which held Freon for a week.  Then I drove for 1 hour down the interstate.  No bumpy roads.  And, no more Freon.  I installed a new A/C unit.  Naturally I don't recommend gambling on the band aid.    

My 4th check arrived today in Indiana.  Yay.    Lots of folks complain about these units, but mine works great!   It becomes a freezer if set it to the coldest setting. 

The Amish guy Leon, at National Refrigeration, near Elkhart, gave it a cleaning and an overhaul a few years ago when I had it removed for some structural wood re-building when the ice maker supply line sprung a leak and I didn't find it till the damage was done.

Thanks everybody for the clarifications.   

Besides my initials, what's a BMK? 

Hello Harald,

I live in the heart of Cummins Country in Southern Indiana.  I called a Cummins-buddy of mine (an IT guy not a engine expert)  and asked his advice on your situation.
He said, call 1-800CUMMINS and that he checked... the lines are still open.

Hope this helps.

Good info.  Thanks.

amphi_sc, I was going in the opposite direction, incorrectly assuming  the coach's LP would be higher pressure than the 1 lb. green tank, and therefore too high for the grill.  I can run a test.  Thanks.  Bill
