Just a heads up.  We bought one 3 years ago at Laurelhurst distributing in Portland Or.  They were the original supplier for Monaco and Beaver etc.  Google them.

Also I found a new Tecma low profile so I assume it comes with the computer and works with the sensors.  It was on EBay for  about $1000.  I searched “Tecma Toilet”.

Lastly ours quit and it was the computer.  I replaced the computer but had a hunch it was the connector because the wiring ran into a pigtail then into the main plug.  The pig tail split but went nowhere and I eliminated it so better connections.  Later thought it may just have been that pigtail and bad contacts.

Best of luck there.

 Ours has the built in mascara too.  The computer went out and it would not flush until 1AM and stopped again after 7AM.  These toilets do some odd things.  

Try pulling the toilet and removing the computer plug then reconnecting.  I understand the contacts get corroded.  

I do like the set up the Steven shows and that is similar to VMSPC from Silverleaf.com . The VMSPC however is designed to replace the Aladdin.

Something not mentioned is checking the source button on the Aladdin before jumping to expensive changes.  I dont recall if it is the function button or the source button but cycling it will sometimes bring up the screen and full function.

Also note that after rebooting the Aladdin we have had to recalibrate the holding tanks.

Good luck 

Did the brake sell?

A leaking hydraulic hose is bad especially one under pressure.  I have seen burned coaches that started this way.  A company called Pirteck of Tucson replaced ours. 

Just my 2 cents

Source Engineering treated us very well and knew about chassis elements I have been dealing with wrong elsewhere.  These guys helped design these systems for Monaco.  Yeah, I would listen to them.

Nice!  Looks great!

Keith, Thought I might go the more "permanent" dynamic balancing route this time.  Used Equal, etc in the past that I had been happy with balancing out stones picked up in the tread, etc.  BTW, we might be twins...desert sunset paint scheme too, but can't tell if you are also a Winchester III? Claire and Rett tried unsuccessfully to get us to join when we were parked next to them at a SC region rally a few years ago,  I think that was just after they had traded their Marquis.  By the way, did we casually run into each other at Bend Sales a couple years ago ... fall '19?  I remember seeing my twin there and we discussed asbestos on the AH exhaust.  It could have been another exact twin.

My apologies to the group for too much OT rambling ...  Need to figure out how to PM on this board.

Yup I believe so!  You weren't there long as I recall.  Yes we have an 07 PT Winchester 3.  I know of 3  like ours.

Taking good care of the Valid pump is a good idea.  Ours went bad after 10 years but has been replaced 3 times since.  I have considered going to Canada just to replace the system.

Ivan, I hope the tech asks easy questions.  Not sure I could accurately measure those distances on the coach.  I can count lugs but that is about it.

Keith, (Hello fellow '07 Patriot Thunder driver). Shot comment was just a random side thought as I'm thinking ahead about the future as Canada border still closed, and who knows what international travel might require going forward.  Couldn't get across last year. I remember decades ago having to get shots and the yellow vaccination record card to get into some countries.  Will we need a Covid "passport"?  Who knows at this point, but we want to travel again, and while Moderna was available we started the process.  Long term side effects unknown but we may be gone or unable to travel by then anyway.  I understand the concerns and hesitations of others. 

Sorry for the distraction from my main concern of getting the right balance masters for my coach.

 

 

Howdy fellow Beaver!  Are you a BAC member?  Hope so.  

Whats up with wheel balancers?  We have had the beads in ours on other coaches.  New tires on at purchase so no idea about balancers.

Learning as I go.  While anchored at a rather notso level RV park - The small compressor that is there to bump up the system went off and wouldn't stop running after an extended period.  Ultimately I killed the power to it in order to shut it up. I know that I have EITHER a bad 90-120pressure switch OR a compressor that is not building pressure.   In my troubleshooting efforts, I got to thinking....  It would take forever for the small 12V compressor to air up the coach from scratch.  I am trying to understand the process here so let me get this straight:   The air bags are inflated by the main air system on the coach.  That said, when I roll into a park, I have plenty of air to level up etc.   As time marches on and the bags leak down (5 days) the small compressor ought to kick on, bring it up to 120# again and VIOLA another 5 days.     Herein lies my question -  If A man knew that his compressor was shot, he could start the main engine and allow the Coach air to bring it back into tolerance.   Am I correct? If that is the case, then what stops the mini compressor from trying to air up the whole coach when it is parked?    When I have left my coach un-used for any period of time, first thing that I do when I start it, is to wait for the main engine air compressor to bring the system up to pressure so that I will have brakes.

 

 

What coach is always helpful info.  On our Beaver the compressor pumps up a tank just for that compressor and shuts off.

Any vendor known to be at Perry this March that carries Balance Masters?  I'm looking to pick up sets for front, drive, and tag soon.  (The manufacturer site is very confusing to figure out what to order.)  New tires planned upon return from GA before summer trip to Alaska... assuming one can get though Canada...  We've had our first of the two shots.

What shots?

Sorry, I was wrong in my statement in regards to my unit. I do not have a 450. Mine is a 100 series. My apologies, don’t know what I was thinking. 

You have the AHE 100 04s ?  Just a guess!

Heatmyrv.com  a good parts source.

AquaHot.com /library for details on your model AH

Remember on reinstalling the torque is 'inch pounds' not foot pounds.

I used the battery disconnect and shut down the power.  On startup the fridge turns right back on.

Mike, we had a 1200 LRM Norcold and every time they did a recall things just got worse.  These fridges are supposed to last about 10 years and if they go longer its icing on the cake.  After seeing all the fires caused by RV fridges, especially Norcold its too much risk!

We have an 07 Beaver with a Jenn Air residential fridge.  It draws 13 amps.  New fridges draw way less.  Costco offers a Whirlpool and a Samsung that appear about comparable in size to the 1200LE but about half the price. Yes we have solar but not much.  We do have a couple extra house batteries.  

Not a fan of any gas absorption fridge.  When they get older they become more hazardous.  New residential fridges use way less power than just a few years ago.  We just run our generator twice daily while dry camping.

Look for a couple stop valves that must be turned to winterize.  If this is not the case is the water pump bad?  

I think I am missing something here.  Have the rules for drone pilots changed?

No flying near a flight path, within 5 miles of an airport, near a St. Park, In a National Park.  Most campgrounds and RV parks also ban them.

I have a Mavic Pro.  I bought it at Christmas and before better weather in spring the rules changed so it has never flown.   Have the rules changed again recently?

If they are like ours, they are likely the kind that have the cigar shaped motor inside the tube.  When they stop working you replace the motor.  There should be two wires coming out the right end with an RF reciever in it .
