  1. Yes, it can get very complex with all the combinations not engineered to work together. I was thinking something like THIS for a standalone furnace control. Simple, and been using one a 2 wire version for 120V in series with a space heater for many seasons. It's just a simple temperature controlled switch. I'm guessing 2 wires connect and 2 wires disconnect at the set temp. Oddly, the 2 wire version is in Celsius . . . Again, this is just one piece of the puzzle, but it frees up options for heat pump / AC / multiple zones. Choose carefully! - bob
  2. If I were contemplating an upgrade this is probably the approach I would take. MicroAir, or something with bluetooth option, and an independent dumb thermostat for the furnace. Hopefully that won't be soon. - bob
  3. I'm in the same boat . . . er, coach (2003 Endeavor). My coach is headed to the shop today. Through my reading Unicla was bought out by Sanden, or signed an alliance . . . . . The Unicla UP150, which is in our coach also, appears to be the same as a Sanden 4663. I also read THERE ARE COUNTERFEIT compressors out there, so be sure to order from an authorized dealer, or direct from Sanden in Wylie Texas. Yes, you'll want to replace other parts also. Metal pieces may (probably) be loose in the lines and parts. It was recommended to flush the lines with a special refrigerant solvent vs just blowing them out with compressed air. They may or may not make it through the condenser. The compressor, drier, expansion valve and condenser are easy to replace. I wouldn't want to rip out the dash to replace the evaporator, or the hoses. Just my opinion. If I could recover the refrigerant I would attempt the repair myself, but I couldn't find anyone that would come out and do the work on-site. There's probably some HVAC owner-operators that could / would do it but I didn't research that. None of the local automotive AC shops would touch it so off to the truck shop we go (fingers crossed) Good luck and keep us posted. - bob
  4. If you "get directions" through the TSD app it switches over to Google Maps. OK, It's a 2nd app but you don't have to hunt for it. Then just do satellite view. - bob
  5. Mavericks is now a TSD station, and there are many listed in the app for Southern Utah. With Love's and TA you can load in your TSD/EFS card and pump directly from their app. No swiping (or skimming) at the pump, plus you get a transaction receipt. It show full pump price (before discounts) but shows gallons, date, time, etc. I take a photo of the pump anyway (old habit). - bob
  6. We have a Xantrex 458 in our 2003 Endeavor. It should be directly compatible with your Legend as our coaches are sister ships. You may need to run different wires for the remote panel. My biggest gripe is every time I plug in to shore or generator it "pretends" the batteries are weak and force charges them for 30 - 60 minutes. Even if they're fully charged they get super-charged (no such thing). If you plug in for a week at a time or so that should be fine. - bob
  7. I discovered someone had replaced the 3 conductor sensor near the lift pump with the 2 conductor switch + harness. I replaced the sensor near the oil filter with VDO 360023 150 PSI Pressure Sender and all is good. The old sensor measured 17 ohms (should be 10 ohms). https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000NBEZIE - not as inexpensive as @MichaelU295's $14 Tyenaza sensor but more comfortable with a M10x1.0 vs 1/8x27 NPT threading . . . and VDO branding. Maybe the metric vs NPT threading is the same . . . maybe not (1.0 mm would be 25 threads / in) Thanks to @jacwjames for helping me through the Cummins Quickserve system. - bob
  8. I've seen that happen, long before I got my first coach. In 2021 I got diesel at a well known grocery chain. Price was good but it was the beginning of a clogged filter. In regards to pricing, I'm a strong advocate of the TSD program but this weekend the best TSD price was 3.49 then add 60c then add 10% of the "savings". Nearby was a Buc-ee's at 3.36. That price was still there on my return trip. I'm just saying it pays to shop around. - bob
  9. I really don't like the Dometic 5-button but for $250 I'll pull over somewhere! Unless you're buying it for me . . . 😁 😁 - bob
  10. I could use a remote for my Dometic roof AC's 5 button thermostat . . . . either for temp adjustment or mode. Going down the road I can turn on the generator without much load but shutting the generator off while drawing 20A isn't advised. - bob
  11. Got home from the weekend trip + a trip to dump tanks with two hard stops. Braking *IS* improved and noticed no ABS beeping. Maybe the new shoes / drums had to bed in a bit, or maybe the shop greased the slack adjusters . . . or both - bob
  12. 03 Endeavor same issue. I had a shop check them out and one had a leaky wheel seal. Seal, shoes and drums replaced and not much different. Be sure to use your engine brake with your foot brake. - bob
  13. I'll ask the obvious . . . . how flat is it? If the exhaust was flattened maybe, but IMO I don't think so. But then I'm not a turbo expert. - bob
  14. Disconnect the connector underneath at the steps and see if the fuse still blows. That will eliminate a lot of possibilities . . . .or identify the problem is upstream. - bob
  15. I hope and pray she beats it with minimal discomfort. My wife had an issue that required weeks of a strong antibiotic. They hooked her up with an IV, multiple syringes of saline, syringes of Heparin, bulbs of antibiotic solution and sent her on her way. Now she could hook up at home. The alternative was driving 45 min one way to the IV clinic everyday. In the end it wasn't enough and she lost her big toe to a pedicure. Yes, a PEDICURE. Now she's known throughout the world as 'Nine-Toe-Nita'. If that's all that's keeping her in the Big House you can have your cake (crawfish) and eat it too. - bob
  16. Sounds like salvage yard material . . . - bob
  17. I can't say about the Centurion, but on our 2003 Endeavor it's in the Front Run Bay, "Step Cover". - bob
  18. Could be weak batteries. How much does your 12V coach battery bank drop when you turn on the uwave? - bob
  19. Is that the device that can only be reset with a magnet? If you get it reset, monitor fridge operation very closely! I bought a small compressor fridge that I could plug in to +12V or 120VAC as a backup. It's also nice to have cold stuff next to me while I drive, and it works better than the absorption fridge. Delivery is 2 days, so you don't have to cancel your trip. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CB868H1F/ Good luck getting chill - bob
  20. How are you getting $3.47 / gal? I take total TSD receipt price and divide by gallons for a "true" price. Occasionally I can do better somewhere else because while traveling I'm not calculating +60c +10% of differential price. I've filled up at Sam's Club before and I could order a pizza and have it delivered by the time their pump is finished, not to mention how sketchy it can be getting in/out. LOVE those truck stop hi-flow pumps! You might ask for Tara Girod-Rape next time to you talk to TSD. On Facebook she's been more than reasonable with customers. Some stations (Love's, TA) have apps you can pay for fuel directly through the app and still collect the TSD savings. This avoids card skimmers on the pumps. - bob
  21. Too long ago, in excess of 15,000 miles 😮 . I changed oil & filter last week but only idled the engine. I'll take it for a drive (get oil hot) soon. If it still persists I'll look at cleaning the "regulator" and spring. Still having trouble finding some of the documents you found (except the regulator). Finding the "Training" doc is a mystery using Quickserve. And I should have a scanner . . . . liking BlueFire or ScanGaugeD simply because VmSpc is no longer available. Thank you for your advice. - bob
  22. Both. ECM is turning on the warning light. Dash gauge is reading higher than normal. The baffling part (to me) are 2 senders, one on each side of engine. Why does it need 2? One is like in your hand and the other similar to your link, except mine has 2 terminals (both connected). I'm guessing the 2nd contact is for low press warning (7 psi). I couldn't find them on my Quickserve site, either one! Installed by Monaco maybe . . . - bob
  23. @MichaelU295 I'm not sure if we have the same engine, but let us know if that fixes your problem. My 2003 ISC is reading hi oil pressure, enough to trigger the warning light. From my reading Cummins had a batch of senders in early 2000's that prematurely failed without an available replacement. Their fix was to install a pressure switch, a new harness and re-program the ECM . . . . at a cost of hundreds of dollars. $400 comes to mind . . . . If there's a sensor somebody knows about . . . . - bob
  24. Air in the system will do that. If so you'll need to purge all lines, including hot water tank. Just a thought. - bob
  25. Put a voltmeter on an AC outlet and see if it actually is under voltage. That's my 2c - bob
