  1. Like Richard says above. Re check the crossover valve behind the water heater...wrong position will do just what you describe.
  2. 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.
  3. 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$$$
  4. "Walmart generic personal lubricant, it is water soluble" Also known as KY Jelly...😁 Check out at the self check, or just a big smile with the lady cashiers..."it really is for my toolbox". All kidding asie it is the best lube for any hose, non-petroleum, will not damage any hose material.
  5. Same relative increase the past week...and really tight for a 18 wheeler. 😃
  6. Just the facts to the end user...Love's at Daytona/Ormond Beach one week ago $4.06 Today $5.30. That's with TSD discount!! Regardless of politics this will soon be crippling for our economy. We can b/itch about recreation use, but for a daily long commuter and the owner operator it will be devastating. Big trucking will adjust quickly with higher freight charges which we will all pay. The little guy can not adjust as quickly at 25% increase per week, he/she could be half way through a load with three more tanks to go!! Hang on tight this ride will make 2008 look like a cruise.
  7. Google >>Dodge minivan sliding door contact switch. Save $$ for beer or diesel 🙂 $6 to $10 Just an old Dodge minivan sliding door switch. 🙂
  8. 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. 🧨
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. Thank you for the time to write this up. I'm sure it answered Bluefire questions for several folks. 🙂
  12. Ok...thanks, looked at website, so anything with wifi/bluetooth?
  13. Hi John... What are you using for a display monitor.
  14. 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.
  15. 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 😃😃
  16. 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. 🙂
  17. 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.
  18. 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"
  19. 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.
  20. Google...GE 18350 or GE H4360 if you want halogen. Standard 4x6 worklight still used in tractors, trucking "worklight bulb"
  21. We have been streaming full time for 2+ years. Visible a month unlimited used for data only. Verizon "unlimited" on cell phones for regular use... 2 phone plan. Once in a while in a high use area the Visible will be slowed to the point streaming is not possible so we use the hotspot on one of the VZN phones. We travel a lot nationwide and have almost always had coverage. I do use the app Bob suggests above, mostly to check speed. We use a Weboost 470510 4gx booster (have not made the leap to 5g yet) with a 12" tall roof mounted stick cell antenna. IF you have a 1 bar signal the booster will improve the signal to about 3 solid bars. The inside antenna has about an 8' cord so if in a really low signal are you can move it right next to a cell phone...we call that "hillbilly wire" and doesn't happen too often. HARDWARE...we do not use a router or mifi but rather use either hotspot or tether via usb to computer. Tried several routers early in the game with mixed results. AND we DO NOT use any Apple products...Samsung S8 phone for Visible and Verizon and a ZTE 10 for Visible. We do have 2 Visible accounts at $25 each so there is a backup in case of a phone failure, just me. Also the ZTE was a freebee at the time and has a better transmit radio than the Samsungs so that one we use for TV all the time. HP all in one computer running Win10 is tethered to a Visible Samsung for internet. Keep in mind that with Win10 you can setup your tethered phone as a local network, turn on hotspot and run as many devices as you want....no router needed. So you could use one Visible phone and run Smart TV or Firestick streaming, tablet, and printer all at the same time. SHOW ME THE $$... two Visible accounts $50 Verizon//2 phone geezer plan $85//YouTube TV $65= $200 per month total comm/viewing bill. That is way less than we spent for VZN and DirecTV which we had for years. We have been doing this way back to when we had an 8 FOOT dish antenna on the fifth wheel., an a cell phone in a bag that you could move from car to car for 12v power, no batteries, so a little bit of experience with this game. FACTS... no matter what you do if there is zero reception/signal you can not get one...BUT we have had a no signal indication of phone and then managed to get a bar or two if the booster inside antenna is right next to the phone. Service varies widely...YouTube, Hulu etc. say you need a reliable 25mbps signal...that is a CYA for them to cut down on complaints, we have streamed as low as 3mbps without buffering. Visible has had speeds as high as 120mbps but anything from 10mbps works very well. IF you are at a football game or other big event where 90,000 people are on the phone texting, sending pics your signal will be slow until they all get out of the parking lot after the game. Our data use runs about 400gig per month average and has never been throttled for use, Visible and VZN can both go down to almost unusable temporarily in high traffic areas like the example above. We also use an Firestick that can be adjusted down to 720K for slow service areas. The new 4000k "smart" TV is not smart enough to know that it not connected to a high speed land fiber optic connection. After years of sat use roof mounted auto seek, ground dish peak through the trees and terrible "customer" service would not look back. Streaming in the trees unless really low signal is not a problem. Internet running down the road is cool. "Recording" all your shows while in motion or doing anything else without a thought... for less money than years ago. Almost as "spoiled" as the kids with constant comm. 🙂 As always your experience may be different but when March Madness occurs and we are in the trees with a game on big screen, tablet, computer all at once...WOW just WOW!!! Sorry this got so long but I see a lot of bad information and questions on streaming and had nothing broken to fix this morning. ☕ PS...just talked to the kids and they are in the Keys where cell service is very directional and he went to a MIMO and solved that problem. I will be exploring Norman's link above as we will be in the Keys for a month starting next week too.⛱️
  22. Generic 12V DC 60 RPM Reversible High Torque Gear Box Speed Control Electric Motor Search Amazon for the above. This is the motor that I used to replace mine. Plastic ends with two ears that break off? Same ones still used in 2006. About $15
  23. https://www.all-rite.com/ More vinyl trim...had posted to you over on irv2. CH 47 Chinook Maint Officer and Test Pilot Project ZYA back when they were A and B models...Long time ago. 🙂
  24. IT WORKS...but only IF you follow directions. Download their (TSD) app TSD Open Roads app...at bottom of screen click MORE...under INFORMATION...read VIEW INSTRUCTIONS. When you familiarize yoursel with how it works you will be successful. ALSO note that not all Petro/TA will be a discount station. Example: Oak Grove , MO just east of Kansas City... same exit there is a Petro on south side of I70 NO DISCOUNT...a TA on the north side same exit that DOES DISCOUNT. 🤑 ALWAYS check the TSD APP before you fuel or you may not be at a contracted for discount location. You will also note under the INSTRUCTIONS that Pilot/FJ is no longer listed for any discount at all. As an early user of TSD things have evolved for the better...proper use always up to the user. Yeah EFS has route plan which was may be a plus but in the end ONLY the Open Roads TSD app will have the correct info to get your discount. Safe travels...
