  1. Can anyone take a picture of the 12v fuse and service label mounted next to the 110 breaker panel? The current one has gotten messed up and is unreadable. I have a 05 Ambassador. Thank You. Gary 05 AMB DST
  2. Has anyone pulled the rinse sprayer and run water through it to see the stream? Gary 05 AMB DST
  3. Has anyone put a cleanout access on the back of the black water tank? Open the access and wash the sensors with a stream of water. If so, could you post a photo of the access setup? Gary 05 AMB DST
  4. David, I just switched to the RVi3 braking system. In their installation instructions they said that as long as there is power going to the RVi and the pin is pulled, the brakes will stay on. Since the power is from the battery, the breakaway will remain activated. Seems like if the safety cables don't do their job, the responsibility falls on Blue Ox. Gary 05 AMB DST
  5. Installing my breakaway switch and cable and I saw a concerning point. With the car attached to the tow bars, there was 48 inches from my measuring point to the switch. The safety cables with my Blue Ox tow bar, the black spiral ones, are 87 inches long. The spiral breakaway cable was 97 inches long when stretched out. So if the car breaks away from the tow bar, it will go back 87 inches. The breakaway cable being 97 inches long would never pull the pin. Slow down the MH and the toad will ram into the rear of the MH. This could be repeated many times before stopping. In order to stop this from happening, I shortened the breakaway cable to 65" and that would pull the pin before the safety cables are maxed out. I'd rather have a damaged car than the MH. It took me 16 years and a new supplemental braking system (RVi3) to realize those breakaway cables aren't effective. Fortunately never needed them. Gary 05 AMB DST
  6. DR, what is the connection for 2 6v in series? Gary 05 AMB DST
  7. Mike, did you mean air or hair? Gary 05 AMB DST
  8. I think my 05 Ambassador engine batteries are not charged by the inverter. That is why I installed a TrickleCharge to charge the chassis batteries. Gary 05 AMB DST
  9. I had no idea what the movie was talking about. To keep the MH and myself in the same era that it was built, I am sticking with lead acid batteries. Gary 05 AMB DST
  10. But doesn't the ABS control the ATS? Gary 05 AMB DST
  11. Thanks David, it's just that Mobil One never notified me that they weren't truly synthetic anymore. Gary 05 AMB DST
  12. Thanks Rik, I'm still not used to what You Tube has available, it's only been 15 years. I found it! Gary 05 AMB DST
  13. My furnace cycles 3 times then shuts off. The blower is working, I think it is the sail switch. There is a reset/off switch on the sail switch piece. How do I pull the sail switch out to clean it. I can't pull the sail out of the blower housing, afraid I may break something, This has happened once before years ago at the ramblinpushers rally and the Atwood Rep did a simple procedure but I don't remember what. I don't know how to search the site for any previous posts. Gary 05 AMB DST
  14. I remember this just like it was yesterday, "25,000 miles Between Oil Changes" read the cover of Popular Science in 1975. Mobil One was just going to be introduced. That sold me right there. I've been a user in my autos ever since (except for the smoking station wagon). Mobil One never advertised that potential because I'm sure the auto manufacturers didn't want their buyers to see it, so Mobil One pushed the 5000 mile recommended oil change. The behind the scenes talk was that synthetic oil could lubricate forever but the filter would have to be changed to keep the oil clean. Then lately I started seeing Mobil One with 10,000 miles and 20,000 miles between oil changes. I actually called Mobil and supposedly talked to an engineer and asked why they don't advertise the 25,000 miles between changes and he denied that they have ever recommended 25,000 miles between changes. I mentioned the magazine cover but he said that was never true. I'm sure the magazine article was older then he was. I know it wasn't advertised so he never knew about it. I was shocked when I saw David state that Mobil One gave in and started adding petroleum distillate base stock to their product. I see Mobil One has a Advanced Full Synthetic and a Fully Synthetic oil. I think the Fully Synthetic is a real synthetic, it costs $15+ per quart at Grainger, $24.37 for 5 qt bottle on Amazon. This destroys my true synthetic theory. I always use a Mobil One filter. Gary 05 AMB DST
  15. Check who approves the use of Amsoil. I quit when I saw it. Gary 05AMB DST
  16. Gary, is it a cover that fits over the existing seat cover? Does she have access to the seat foam? I've been searching for an improvement over towels. Gary 05 AMB DST
  17. With all the talk about air bags and my desire to know what parts are needed, I can't find the information for the part number for the air bags on my 05 AMB. The 04-07 Endeavor platform should be the same. Thanks Gary 05AMB DST
  18. Ivan, you have the same philosophy as I do. Have the part in storage and you will never need it . Gary 05 AMB DST
  19. What preventive maintenance is suggested? Is there a way to keep the rubber from cracking? Gary 05 AMB DST
  20. Not sure but isn't the trans cooler located under the radiator stack? The oblong box with radiator and transmission hoses going to it. I don't know how the two fluids get separated to return to their point of origin. Gary 05 AMB DST
  21. Gary, all my OEM pipe is black pvc. Is the white pipe connected to black pipe? Gary 05 AMB DST
  22. Gary, I think the problem is the 45 elbow. It is changing the parallel movement of the hose. Gary 05 AMB DST
  23. Ugly Shield, N Fort Meyers, $1200, one day. Going there in October. Gary 05 AMB DST
