  1. Hey Jeff I am running Toyo 295/75/22.5 M177's on the rears. The are are running true and good wear patterns. Installed Aug 2019, 20k miles since and still look new. Be sure you get the Toyo load chart and you will see that there are two load ratings, actually different 177 tires. The chart shows two SKU numbers with the SKU 547130 being a heavier load tire. Chart shows you would have to run 125psi for a 7,160 single 14, 320 front axle load rating. That may be a little harsh on ride, I don't know. I run 105 psi in rears and tag and have what appears to be good sidewall flex/cushion and gives a good ride. That SKU # is important and is molded on the tire be sure your dealer is getting the heavier load range tire for you.
  2. I drill a small hole in al 4 corners of a new knock out then cut with a Dremel. Carling website has dimensions, just make a template and trace it. They also have all the hundreds of switch configurations for wiring. Then if you want custom covers these guys https://rockerswitchpros.com/ look like a pretty good bet and not too pricey. Rock on...🔗
  3. After road debris punched mine I covered the front half of the fan bracket all the way up to the top, and the bottom all the way back with 1/4" square hardware wire (Ace or Farm store) 100k miles since then... ok. Bendable, shape forming, little edges sharp as he** wear good leather gloves. Small rock found in the shroud when removing the radiator for repair. Those duals and tag can kick up alot of little stuff.
  4. https://www.freshwatersystems.com/products/remco-powerrv-aquajet-55aquajet-arv-pump-5-3-gpm-12vdc same one for less, have bought from them before.
  5. Like Richard says above. Re check the crossover valve behind the water heater...wrong position will do just what you describe.
  6. Did it work and then this just happened or is the the first time you turned it on and this happened? Makes a big difference on folks suggestions for help. Was the coach winterized?? If so itis possible that the valves for water heater aare not positioned properly that will cause what you are experiencing.
  7. The last thing you you do before shutting down is make sure front wheels are ointed straight. In your picture if very much unlevel easy to have fiberglass damage as coach settles/levels. OUCH$$$
  8. "Walmart generic personal lubricant, it is water soluble" Also known as KY Jelly...😁 Check out at the self check, or just a big smile with the lady cashiers..."it really is for my toolbox". All kidding asie it is the best lube for any hose, non-petroleum, will not damage any hose material.
  9. Same relative increase the past week...and really tight for a 18 wheeler. 😃
  10. Just the facts to the end user...Love's at Daytona/Ormond Beach one week ago $4.06 Today $5.30. That's with TSD discount!! Regardless of politics this will soon be crippling for our economy. We can b/itch about recreation use, but for a daily long commuter and the owner operator it will be devastating. Big trucking will adjust quickly with higher freight charges which we will all pay. The little guy can not adjust as quickly at 25% increase per week, he/she could be half way through a load with three more tanks to go!! Hang on tight this ride will make 2008 look like a cruise.
  11. Google >>Dodge minivan sliding door contact switch. Save $$ for beer or diesel 🙂 $6 to $10 Just an old Dodge minivan sliding door switch. 🙂
  12. Just for the next guy...rubber shower tile underlay material at Home Depot works great. Run a few inches up the sides and piece of hardwood across the front. Put your drain wherever works, and the front lip folds flat when you have to pull it out again. 🙂 Really smart people tie a length of 1/4 inch nylon rope around the back feet, tuck it along the sides and then you can pull the monster out easily next time. Every one I have worked on the cabinet has almost zero side space. An extra inch would have made the front room way too small. 🧨
  13. Experience here...good advice on the numbers above. Check your airlines before you order...my Dynasty has 3/4 inch lines, lady friends coach, same chassis has the smaller ones. NEVER ASSUME that any Monaco is the same. Kid's coach and mine are about 100 serial numbers apart and you would not believe the mechanical differences we find when working on stuff. SNOWFLAKES BUT WE LOVE 'EM...most days.
  14. Unless you have a safe way to raise the coach getting the radiator out is tough. It is too tall to drop out....so either jacked about 10in or ramps, and the fan assembly is heavy too. Think come along...all in tight quarters. Have done manifold without removing radiator too. Depends a LOT on floor plan/access. IF...you have to drill a broken stud make a template/drill guide that attaches on adjacent bolts...that head is soft and an off center drilling will get you a pulled head. Slow and easy...now you know why Cummins is blowing you off.
  15. Thank you for the time to write this up. I'm sure it answered Bluefire questions for several folks. 🙂
  16. Ok...thanks, looked at website, so anything with wifi/bluetooth?
  17. Hi John... What are you using for a display monitor.
  18. Fill the tank...use the pump. You can always hear a leak. Easy turn off when leaving coach. FT and the pumps last five+years. Always the same pressure and no worries.
  19. https://radiatorsupplyhouse.com/products/monaco-motorhome-ac-condenser-s07011278-cd40900-18x-26-740967 Here's one for $622 on a quick Google search...try to seach those numbers further and you may save even more. The Monaco Vendor number was CD40900 from the old Monaco microfiche. Good Luck $ 522. https://truckpartsinventory.com/parts/details/83724617 Another $100 saved in 10 minutes...could be free in an hour 😃😃
  20. Also note that Square D makes several series of boxes with different style breakers that are NOT interchangeable. From pics it "looks like" you have the QO series of breakers. If indeed that 50 is the wrong one I suggest you take one of the properly fitting breakers with you when you shop so you do get the right one. A quick Google of Square D images show you the differences. Hope HD has another box. 🙂
  21. Looking back at your page one pics it appears that the 50 amp breaker is a different size/brand that someone jammed in the box. By going to Ace did you get an exact (another wrong brand replacement) thus replicating the initial problem? Breakers are not universal in most cases... if you a have Square D box you need square D breakers . Other brands use similar but not the same connecting points...bad connection equals what you have there. Like trying to stick a Ford part in a Chevy...might "kinda" fit but not really. Could not see the brand/size on your page 3 pic...so "If" Square D please ignore this info. Chuck U.
  22. Also remeber to check the app before fueling. Some TA's and Petros aare under a franchise deal and do not participate...example, the TA on 95 at at Vero Beach. Fillup and you will be paying the full price, and a TSD charge. Like they said on Hill Street..."be careful out there"
  23. I think maybe you will find that 4x6 is a nominal size. I had those bulbs in my 99 Safari and they were pretty easy to find.
  24. Google...GE 18350 or GE H4360 if you want halogen. Standard 4x6 worklight still used in tractors, trucking "worklight bulb"
