I have a '05 DIP, very much interested. On my way to check, Thanks-- John M

Shore power does not charge chassis batteries. Several times I have recommended to my RV friends to get a separate , inexpensive charger and keep it dedicated to the chassis batteries. I installed a separate 110 outlet for this purpose.

Today I signed w/State Farm. Full-Time ins. Az minimum liability, 1000 deductable. 100% glass. 05 Monoco. 93/mo.

Blue dawn is good stuff, why not give it a try

I heavely lubricate mine with vaseline petroleum jelly, lasts for approx 6 mos

R V Glass in Coburg did mine a couple of days ago, great place, elect. hook-up, great job. John McClure '02 Dip

Might find one cheaper, I have a '05 PDQ, that is my only home, very pleased with it. I am sure the most bang for the buck. Good advice, get oil analized, no particular reason, just good practice. Also pulls my G M C terrain no problem. John McClure

I had a cummins authorized mechanic replace my ecm in Arcada Ca. quite an education, {$3,500}. After 1000 miles, no cruse control or pac break. Took it to cummins mechanic in Phoenix, they said replace the TPS {$ 600}. Still no cruse {off and on}. After 2 years of cruse and pac break working off and on I took it to Sacramento Truck Center who specialize in in motorhomes {hard to find those that do this but be sure you do}. Motorhomes have a significantly different electronic engineering and the average cummings mechanic will not have the specialized experience which is why they all hate to work on our rigs. Over 20 years I have maybe 6 or 7 cummings mechanics work on my rig {only electronics as I am a licensed aircraft mechanic and do everything else myself } Sac has a mechanic that has specialized in motorhomes for 20 plus years, the best I have seen.-- John M PS, problem, bad ground intermit malfunction, hard to find.

Sorry, the only place I think is worth a damn is Sacramento Truck Center. They corrected a problem that three other Cummins business's could not find. They said the code for my problem had been in my ECM for 2 years.--John McClure

I did the same on a 05 dip, success, no problems, be sure to beef up the floor below the frig. with vertical 2x4 in critical places--John McClure 7076716036 My response is to the whirlpool installation, I installed a samsung
