Pampero

This is my situation, I thought it was not relevant but may serve as an excuse. I am leaving in my coach for over a year now while I am building a house, which is taking longer that originally planed. So the slide has being out for all this time. I had some problems with the electrical awning(Lippert) so I had to do some rewiring. When my slide out didn't work I check If I moved/disconnected any wiring related to the slide out. I didn't find anything that I could have done. I checked the fuse on the outside panel and it is good. Since it has being longtime, I tried to see if I have voltage a the prong (niddle on left side) with the ignition key on or off, with the jacks up, checked al the bay door switches. This is what it puzzles me; the HWH shows the basic principle before Monaco "modified" it. In that it shows that the pump relay energize the 15 amp fuse. Fuse #1 on the panel is energized. Battery power should reach the momentary switch at the middle terminal; on my coach it is a black wire that is labeled "Battery relay switched" but it does not have voltage. So I assuming that Monaco installed all those bay switches in series and place a relay in between. I wonder if I do supply voltage to that middle prong it will work? On the HWH schematic it shows that the middle either sends out or receive voltage to the accessory +12 fused I got the feeling that I disconnected that middle prong when I was working on the awning, I replaced the wire nuts they installed with better push in connectors and I may have throw it out by mistake. HWH slideout 1.pdf

I tested all three switches, all three are getting battery voltage and they close the loop when they are pushed in. The middle prong on the left side of the switch has a black wire (all three on the left side are black) with a sticker that says "battery relay switched" what it means that a relay has to complete the loop. But I have no clue where the relay is located.

My slide out is not working in or out. As with all the information I have, one contradict the other The switch on the panel has six prongs, three on the left that are used , and three on the right that only two are used leaving the middle empty. According with the HWH diagram, I should have 12 volt at the middle prong which I don't On the outside fuse panel (by the driver's window) fuse #1 (15 amp reset fuse) has 12 volts. On the attached PDF it shows that only three prongs are wired (this is the only diagram I can find that mention anything on the slide out) I believe there is a relay that may be cutting off the power to that wire, but I don't have a location for it or a diagram to figure how it works. HWH schematic shows a relay that may be interrupting the power but it does "before" the fuse, and I have power to a 15 amp fuse, if I am looking at the same fuse though. I do appreciate your help. I suppose to be leaving in a week for vacation and I am stock with an open slide out. Thanks to all slide out.pdf

I will go with custom. Miller in Indiana does a beautiful job and it is not as expensive.

I got a new awning from lippert, with electric arm. I believe is vinyl. In less of a year the colors faded, the roller is not straight ( normal for them) and the pivot arms broke three times. Whatever you do, stay away from lippert, garbage

Replace it, very easy to replace the whole system https://www.rearviewsafety.com/safety-solutions/backup-camera-system-rvs-770613-nm.html

Hi If I remember you can access to the back of the headlights with your generator door open. They did install a bracket that holds the headlight (1984 Ford Bronco) with just some self tapping screws. Once you remove those screws the headlight comes through the front

I miss the "front" part of the original question. I guess you will never be able to rotate tires. My 2000 Windsor has 365/80

The width of your current tires is 315mm and you want to be 365, that is 50 mm different or 2 inches. Would your rims accept that width? You also need to keep the same overall diameter,. How you do that? Adjusting the profile; if you keep the same profile your tires will be to big. A "good" tire supplier will advice. I don't know if you can get the tire size you need, I think for @ 10mm increase on the wider the tire has to go 5% down on the profile. Not doing so will make the tire bigger affecting the speedometer reading which can be adjusted by an Allison dealer. Profile = a % of the tire width. The result will be the distance from the tire rim to the tire edge. If your tire is 315/70 R22.5 , the distance is 220.5 mm. I you keep the same ratio, the length will be 255.5 mm, so the overall tire high will increase by 2.81 inches. Do you have the room for it? Manteining the same ratio WILL require a programing on the Allison transmission.

I will look carefully to the condenser on the back of the coach. Aluminum condenser are prone to rot. If he put dye in the system it should be easy to spot with a fluorescent light and glasses.

Like Google and many other corporations. They buy the competition, they get rid of the "unnecessary" people that do duplicate work, blue collar, marketing, etcetera. Yes, Thorn will cut corners, people will loose their job, and another CEO will make a ton of money.

You got pictures of the ladder. I wonder if it would fit on my coach

Well said. I learned a lot about all your comments and I agreed that in this country the public perception of nuclear reactors. And I think that is based not in the hardware but on those that move the dials and push buttons. I am not accusing, I just saying "perception". I remember a Nextel commercial when two operators are arguing about the name of a BLT sandwich, that should be called BLTM because have mayonnaise on it while all alarms were going off and people were trapped on what appeared to be a containment chamber on a nuclear plant. For me, my taught were; really. You ever saw in a TV show doctors and nurses chatting on an operating room about trivial stuff? That is what people (me) worries, the human factor inside a nuclear plant. I'd 'D born in Argentina, (third world country)we have four nuclear reactors there and never a safety issue. The same in many countries. So we are so afraid here. In Long Island we still paying taxes for a nuclear plant that never saw one day of operation and the project was canceled because "public" concer.

US was importing about 9.5 million barrels per day in 2019 and producing 12.5 million barrels per day in 2019 (about numbers. So it is not "almost" 50%? I am sorry I was not as accurate as you want me to be. I am trying to say is that the prices are based on supply and demand plus taxes. New York was always higher in fuel than NJ. I always filled in NJ as soon I got out of NY and I always filled in NJ before I got back. Now is the opposite. Why? The crude oil price is the same, but taxes are different. You can add 100% taxes on a $1.5 gallon of Diesel fuel or you can add 50%, but the base crude oil price is the same. Yes I know, there is some adds on, like each company will add additives and transportation, but the crude being low is supply and demand, and the demand is shrinking. But everything I just said is fake news.

I agreed, but once those turbines are working, then you have free energy for a long time. Agreed that you have to make materials to make the wind turbines, but an electric generator like they using around me, either uses diesel fuel or natural gas. So it never ends, Once that blade is turning... 90% of electricity generated in France is Nuclear

Yes, still a way to go, we need more wind turbines and solar. USA has a steady growth in oil production since 2008, but we are still importing almost 50% of our consumption. Like I said, we needed someone that think outside the box to change the minds on the big car producers.

Surprisingly I have seen prices as low as $1.569 I don't remember ever seen this low. Just think that we are the only country that still using big gas engines. Most of European countries are banning gas and diesel engine. Oil producers keep lowering their prices because they can't sell. Others may disagree but no one can't take credit for low prices, but we, the people can. Tesla has changed the mentality of the automobile industry; if they wouldn't come along, GM and FORD never had changed their ways about producing electric cars. The same way that Honda changed the American menhow build cars. build cars. Solar and wind power is the way to go.

I will consider it. Txs

we will like to have pictures, I will like to convert to induction. My house is induction and we love it

I don't know I will have to see pictures, what model it is. Maybe I can look at it on the web Thanks

I can't open this link

I will need a replacement of my roof ladder. I had done few years ago by All-Rite RV, and it was good. It got damaged in a campground 🤥 The problems is that the last time I have to send my old one (expensive shipping cost) so they can copy it. You figure that they will be smart and save the dimensions, but they did not. So I would have to do the same, but I wonder if someone have an insight about a supplier. I tried Visonerv with no avail. Thanks

Just to clarify AJ Electric sells a direct fit replacement with warranty. Rebuild you are at the mercy of a rebuilder, and if your options are limited you can take the change with a rebuilder and good luck if you get strander away from home ot if you get stranded away from home AJ Electric is a place that you can depend on. Divided opinions here, some they have one time experience with a rebuilder, some they deal with a same rebuilder because their business and have good experience. I worked 40 years and I can tell you that most of the rebuild alternators are not rebuild to the factory specs. Brushes, bearings and paint is not what a remanufactured should be. My own opinion? They are junk Your choice
