Sorry for delay. Sig is a two side.

Might consider selling 04 Signature 42, Majestic plan with desk. Lots of upgrades and new stuff. Detroit Diesel. Working on upgrade list.

FWIW I have been a subscriber to RV Trader since I found our Monaco on the site. I get notices, every once and awhile, although it seems fewer and fewer, with make specific listings, descriptions and listing price. Gives me an idea of what ours could sell for when the time comes.

Thanks, fixed. -
Detroit Series 60, Ugly fix report
SigPIlot replied to vwallace's topic in Engine, Transmission, Engine Cooling, & Hydraulics
I'm not sure, but as I recall when hitting a good mountain haul it would be in the 40's. I forgot about the cleaner oil, but yes another benefit. -
Found it was easier and probably cheaper to go Blu Tooth. Got a couple of Soundcore Motion+ speakers from Amazon. Work great. Can place them where I want. Can use them around the pool when at home. About $79 per. (Soundcore Motion+ Bluetooth Speaker with Hi-Res 30W Audio, BassUp, Wireless Speaker, App, Custom EQ, 12H Playtime, Waterproof, USB-C)

Diesel fuel treatment
SigPIlot replied to Mondyndia's topic in Engine, Transmission, Engine Cooling, & Hydraulics
I'm an Opti Lube fan. Add every tank fill with a shot of Biobor in the warm weather. Never had an issue. -
Detroit Series 60, Ugly fix report
SigPIlot replied to vwallace's topic in Engine, Transmission, Engine Cooling, & Hydraulics
Added this right after I acquired the coach 7 years ago. Not sure where I heard of it but must have been one of the forums (probably this one!) Installed it to cut the hesitation and black smoke, and more importantly, squeeze a 1/2 mile per gallon. Never had an issue with it. Run about 62-63 mph and getting 6.5 mpg. out west where there are real mountains. Can sometimes see close to seven back east in flatland. It's a rough calc since we run the Aqua Hot on diesel .in the cold weather and excercise it once a month in the warmer weather.. I track data fill-up to fill-up so I have a running history of fuel usage (it's a pilot thing). I plan for 750 miles which gives me a good reserve. www.theuglyfix.com BTW i kept the old module 'just in case'! -
Get a cat! BTW Goose is a Standard Poodle. They 'tolerate' each other (lol). Never had a critter issue.

Had toppers (3) done by Stone Vos 3 years ago. Just had 3 window awnings and patio awning done last week. I had them install since we're an hour away but they will ship.

Could be the security system reset and programmer.

Don't know what the 333 rule is, however, we brought a car from FL to CA on a U-Haul (that's a whole other story!) Last thing I wanted to do was unhook anything. Left coach at ride height and all was good. We do the same with the toad if space is a pull through and long enough. Never had an issue.
-
As noted above, there may be a switch on the facia in front of the sink. Easy to turn off thinking its a light switch. I have a box on the wall plug the insta hot is plugged into. I believe it a surge protector. Mine has a green light on the front - indicating power on. Other than checking the breaker for galley/kitchen plugs not much else to check. I find a simple non contact voltage tester (Lowes - Southwire $15) is infinitely useful around the coach for chasing down some electrical issues.

Had the same problem. Kept the speakers and installed a Yamaha AVR (Costco) and Sub Woofer. AVR went in an overhead cabinet next to the door. Power already there for Dish receiver and satellite. Added a good surge protector. Power already under sink for Acoustimass. Ran wiring from avr to sub woofer behind j couch etc. Ran dish to avr. Added DVD player. That with new flat screen (Samsung) in place of old Sony makes it all sweet. Was a pretty easy install. Hardest part was getting the old Bose anchor out from behind the sink. Sounds great!

Replacing interior Pot Light Bulbs
SigPIlot replied to Patrick's topic in Interior & Exterior Care & Renovations
FWIW I replaced about 80 halogens with dimmable LED's from M4Products in Chatsworth CA. They were really helpful. I used both natural daylight and warm depending on where they were located. Obviously warm worked better where there was a wood back ground or strike point. They were ll Samsungs and have not had one problem. -
Wildwood, Florida repair service
SigPIlot replied to tomevansfl's topic in General Motorhome Discussion
It is now a Lazy Days branch. Haven't experienced great response since the takeover. Try LD in Seffrner. I have had great service from them over the years. -

Our prayers are with you. Hugh & Marian -
FWIW I replaced the original 'HWH' compressor with a Viair IG (Industrial Grade) 450 as the original was no longer available at HWH. Works like a d***! Though abour changing the location but decided to see how it works in the original location in front of the drive axle. May fabricate an enclosure.

This is timely! Have a set of Michelins' that are aged out. 295/80R 22.5. Have had no issues with them. Have run them at the pressures per Michelin and the weights per station. (got it weighed at Seffner a couple of years ago!). I did get sticker shock when I looked at the replacement cost for Michelins - thought the each price was for all 8 (lol). Checked Coach-Net and FMCA; all 700+ per. Seems to me I have heard, in the past few years, owners have had good luck with Toyo's. I can get their M144 290/80r for about 490 including install in Central FL. Big difference. I know there is a session next week so am going to hold off to see what I learn.

Is that a Mark III? Had a 100-4 for awhile! Still wish I had it! -
I am assuming you are talking about water filters. The first one in line is probably a sediment filter. I get both off Amazon. If a generic type cannister(s) should be able to get at Lowes ot HD etc.
