Ocotillo Wells to Blythe, CA. Have you driven Hwy 78?
Steve Maurer replied to Gweedo's topic in General Motorhome Discussion
We have done that route a few times in our 35 ft class A. Only issues are the ***** riding your tail. Just be patient and pull over when too many pile up. -
windshield/body cracked !!!!!!
Steve Maurer replied to Les Hurdle's topic in Body, Awning, Roof, Slides, & Steps
Get under coach and look at rear trailing arms. I have 2005 Safari Cheetah in which one broke due to a road bump. It really gets scary when you start to drive at higher speeds. Steve -
Hi, The fitting is probably spun welded to the tank. I had the same problem with my black water tank at the three inch drain fitting. I had to replace the tank. i might suggest you look at https://www.recpro.com/universal-rv-holding-tank-installation-fittings-kit/. These fittings are installed from the outside of the tank and work quite well. If you have access to the leaky fitting and if there is enough land, perhaps cut out the leaking fitting using hole saw and replace with a larger size one. Then you can plug the new fitting. good luck. steve

My 2005 cheetah had the handle screwed in. I replaced it with a lighted handle.

Fresh water tank removal and replacement
Steve Maurer replied to Brian McKenna's topic in Water Systems
Hi, i had to replace sewage tank on my coach. it was fairly easy because was able to swing up access panel on the other side of coach,(4 screws at bottom of panel.) Got a close match tank from Recpro. The key is figuring out how to access tank on passenger side. Steve -

New radiator???
Steve Maurer replied to Rocketman3's topic in Engine, Transmission, Engine Cooling, & Hydraulics
I had same problem. Sent radiator to be refurbished, came back looking like new and no more overheat problem. -
Hi, has anyone compiled how many fires versus how many refrigerators? Or any data of full time use vs 3-4 times a year. What really is the risk? Just Curious.
-
Ok I understand the concern now!
-
Why would you not be safe running fridge, especially using ac power only? Why are you worried about all this? It is probably more risky driving the freeways in a RV than worrying about these other things. It is all about the level of risk you want to take based upon factual data. Only you can assess this for yourself.

Sagging Slide out in my Safari Cheetah
Steve Maurer replied to 1nolaguy's topic in Body, Awning, Roof, Slides, & Steps
Hi, i have 2005 Cheetah 345 SKT with same misalignment problem. Solved it with adhesive weatherstrip placed on inside flange of slide out. It is sandwiched between the slide out and wall of coach sealing it. Used 1” wide and cut multiple legnths to seal gap when closed. Works good and have had coach in 10 degree weather with no problems. -

Not to be to obvious, but have you checked all bulbs activated by flasher? -
Go to hardware store, get sprinkler pipe extractor. It is designed to remove plastic pipe.

Low air brake alarm temporary silence
Steve Maurer replied to Jeff H's topic in Compressed Air Systems
Sure, install a switch in the panel and cut one wire to the alarm and route thru switch. Could even use momentary switch if you are worried about turning off. If you really want to get fancy install a time delay relay between the switch and buzzer and set it for a few minutes. The alarm Will then be enabled automatically. -
In my humble opinion, it depends on what kind of use the coach is getting. Heavily loaded long trips over rough roads such as multiple alaska highway trips (frost heaves), or heavy gravel use, change arms proactively. If just wandering interstates a few times a year, and not overloading...inspect arms every so often. A crack will be be apparent. When they break it is noticeable. Ours swayed and fishtailed. We were not towing but had a 800 Lb cycle on a lift on the back. Stopped safely and called tow.
