So is it just me or does the seat start to get uncomfortableas your nearing the end of the trip☹️ the last 500 miles got me makin more get an walk stops☹️

Hey one more thing, just trying to keep the information flowing, if ever you need a circuit board repair i found this maybe on our website i dont recall however its a good one to keep in your information base, cause sooner or later you may need it

So a coworker showed me a website the other day, connector experts.com, before that i have used digikey.com

I would start with making sure the master switch for the furnace (remove the outside cover) is in the on position. I had to turn one off cause once it started it would not turn off (was a bad t-stat) then check your power an grounds at the furnace control board.

Hey heres another 2 cents worth of information… after cleaning the rollers rather than using a grease to lube or a spray on oil, i now use a spray on dark graphite, dirt an dust dont collect an prevents rust.

That looks like you have lost or had the adjustment stops fall out of adjustment. On either side there are bumpers that the slide out is supposed to hit to limit its travel. Look to see what happen to them.

Here is some printed info that came with my stinger kit years ago. Now im not sure that gale banks is concidered the “burning bush” however im sure somewhere the team that engineered the stinger kit must of had some idea of what was what. One other piece of information i will call “personal knowalage” is that all the years of working on military trucks then for the 10 years of working on OTR rigs Not one time can i remember EVER seeing a pre turbo egt! Now thats not to say they dont have there place, but i can say the vast majority of drivers “OTR” could care less about intake EGTs as they were more worried about the tattel tales that were being installed that watched there every driving issue. In fact just to add a little something extra to this pile of EGT history information is how many pairs of vise grip pliers i would collect from truckers that used to pinch off the fuel return line so the truck would inject more fuel due to base line fuel pressure would increase. Back then the world believed smoke was power!!! So excuse me if i dont get fall into all this knowalage wars of intake temps vs the science of egt temps cause you will find many differing opinions written or folk lore tales. I understand we all pull loads of weight, and yes i know knowledge is power, but at the end of the day just having a baseline of info is crucial, and after that its just personell preference as to what your willing to risk to get your load “over the hill”.

So with original vehicle old school headlight switches, aka chevy, ford, dodge. The headlight switch had a internal breaker for the headlights, then the park lights were fused. (Spoiler alert many electronic devices were borrowed from those Mfgs in the earlie days) So it was possable to lose one but not the other. Try this test, when the lights fail, if your high beam switch is also your turn signil lever, at the moment the lights fail, then pull back on the stick and hold it there… AKA, flash to pass, do the lights come back on? Yes: its most likely the headlight switch. No: you have a breaker feeding the headlight switch that 💩the bed… reason was older systems used the same power wire for the flash to pass also fed the headlight switch. So if it is the headlight switch as the lights fail, touch the stem of the headlight switch, switch… is it 😡HOT. If so the headlight circuits may have too much resistance, if you replace the switch and it still gets hot your search for the problem still exists, cause by replacing the headlight switch, was just the symptom.

Very nice!

My 2003 HR cummins will when approaching hills momintarily read full boost “30 psi” then it pulls back an long pulls drop to less somewhere 26 ish. At 1st thought a leak untill one time watching the EGT and at the time it was very close to 1200 degrees and over 30 psi m it dropped to 1100 ish instantly with psi now 26 psi. I had rembered that when i bought the new to me coach it already had a Banks Stinger kit installed on it. And reading the info on the stinger thats its main task in that it monitors the EGT temps when giving you full power and if the temps get to high it changes the fuel rate to reduce the temps which in turn lowers the psi. Its gotten so automatic for me i almost never pay attention to the gauge anymore.

Holy crap Richard did your old ins company explane as to why such a high amount?

I… believe you might be $$$ ahead looking into a gasser genny on wheels, rather than trying to reinvent a lubrication system… for ANY powertrain!!!

Morning everyone from The Springs of Barrago, So my bride finally decided to pull the plug an retire😃 an to celebrate the event she wanted to travel an get out of the rain an cold of our home town. We had a trip here planned an though the reason for coming here changed we kept the reservation thinking “ maybe”… So off we go, we got a late start 3:00 PM, she said We can drive till were tired then pull over for some shut eye then get up an go again… (im thinkin rookie retireie) none the less im just excited to have her on a adventure. So at 1:30 AM WE 💩out at a Walmart only to get up at 6:00AM to finish the journey, got here got set up, it was a beautifull sunny day in the low 70’s. I thought she might enjoy some TV, to make up for the “slow” moments in the excitment, they offered cable, for some reason they offered only two channels non of which she liked. So now i drag out my Playmaker thinking this will giver what she wants😎 ( so you know i have carried this for at least 2 years an roughly 8k miles and have never once used it) 2 hours with new folks i have never met finally got me the ability to have a selection of shows other than the Dish screen saver…. Yeah! So the next day it “RAINS” it rained so bad at one time it washed the signil away for about 10 minutes, non the less there we are watchin the boob tube for the reason it was intended, rain! So here we are the next day, no rain an folks are starting to mill about, im thinkin… like im prone to do an said, huh, time to break out the ice maker in preperation for the warmer days😃😃😃 I fill it up… i plug it in… an off it goes, chugin away spittin out cubes like a kid spittin out sunflower seeds, somehere between my shower an getting the bride to agree to a bloody i noticed two things the TV is no longer making noise an my ice maker has quit making that lovely noise of a machine work in progress☹️ So putting on my detective hat i start looking for the source of such a rude intrusion of my bliss, well 💩 i found the GFI in the bathroom tripped, humph! Wierd but so be it, i reset it and was rewarded with 10 seconds of aha i found the culpret, at which point it tripped again… WELL FIRETRUCK!!! So now the past couple of days has been a series of trial an errors trying to get it resolved. The latested being it will now stay “on” for 31 minutes with all that i can reach to unplug… big sigh🥱. So now the remaining of by brides big adventure has been changed, getting to understand NOT EVERY ADVENTURE is lined in gold an sometimes its just camping. For me… i have priorities, like ditch the toaster cause were short of operational plugs an so the coffee maker an the ice machine have full access to the only functional steady plug in the galley, yup coffee an cocktails thats my mantra😎 The. So my gentle reader just incase you chuckled an thought, HUH! Thats not toooo bad whats he jonesin about, well seems when the dark clouds decide to rain on your joyfull day it has many different directions in which to try to let you know just WHAT OR WHO Is in charge, like right after getting here an setting up, the spring on my Omega 2 topper over my main slide broke so now inorder to get home i have to cut off the material in order to not have it lufting in the wind🤦‍♂️ plus this is the 1st time since using this rig i forgot to bring my ladder… FIRETRUCK! The good part is that topper is original an lookin pretty haggered, so it took me a short time to change my frown to a smile an just enjoy the time an place an the people im with. Life is short above ground… Remember fight to stay happy an look for the good when an wherever you can find it👍😎

Yes it plugs in with a standard plug on one side, on the end you see is apen pin with slip on female connectors. The point of showing it is to resonate with the old phrase… these motorhomes are like snowflakes not two are made the same🤦‍♂️ when i found that plug i had NEVER seen anything like that before. Ya just got to stay open to what if an run with the punches

i found this on a 05 HR, Navigator… originally it started out as wipers that would not park, then quit alltogether. Used electronic cleaner then covered with electrical grease from then on worked perfect. I am ALWAYS amazed on the stuff i find
