I ran into the same thing on the over bedroom awning and was able to put screws in beside them and silicone the holes. Not many choices, either drill the screw completely out or index over a new hole.

I experience somewhat similar performance. I have wondered what pad materials might offer a bit better stopping power. Will monitor this thread to see what others think.

A quick check to assure the heater valve is the culprit is just pinch off one of the hoses somewhere to stop flow. Luckily I have never had to work on this system, I wonder if they have blend doors like later model autos?

When you hold the prime button for 20 or so seconds and then crank it over does it run ok for a bit? How much fuel is in the tank?

Has it been serviced or the cooling unit replaced? If so, it’s possible the fluted insert of flue was left out. It helps heat transfer to the cooling unit fluid side. Most likely what is going on. It will look something like this and will hang from the top of the flue outlet. I have seen them longer than this one, depends on the model.

Known failures even at low mileage. My vote is change it. Three bolts to remove since you will have the belt off. I went with the Cummins oem pump although I wasn’t as smart as you I changed it on the road after failure.

I have the same layout. Do you have trouble with your shower draining? I can’t seem to get mine to drain no matter how much work I do from above. Can’t figure out how to get to the plumbing to see if it can be taken apart.

Dang, I forgot about this post until now. Did he ever sell this?

Do we know it works? I am in central AL and mine currently works but always looking for spare stuff.

I have sort of a similar issue. Sometimes even with full air pressure, the buzzer/beeper will go off like it has low pressure when I first disengage the air park brake and put it in gear. It will go off for anywhere from 15 seconds to 5 minutes and eventually will stop. Other times it will just come on. What I have found odd is if I disengage the air park brake, let off of the brake pedal and make the beeper go off a couple of times, it won't come on when I put in gear and let out of brake. It's like sometimes it gets reversed on what engages the alarm. Sometimes when it is going to mess up it will beep and go off when I push the brake. But on my last trip I made sure to push the park brake button, let out on brake and even let the coach roll a little, then push the brake, put it in gear, then let out on the pedal and no alarm. Worked almost every time. Weird, but something is getting crossed up/confused on what tells it to activate the alarm.

I used them in my old Ford gas burner RV. The trick is just knowing how much to use. It’s a guessing game. I have always been curious how they work. I went to a vibration analysis school one time and I asked the instructor, who is a well renowned vibration specialist, how they would possibly work. He had never heard of them, but he suspected they worked because automobile designers design the first critical of a suspension to occur at about 30 mph. The phase angle shifts 180 degrees after going through the first critical, which would put “light” side toward the outside of the orbit so to speak. The beads would then find their way there. Interesting anyway.

Unfortunately, mine come off without me doing anything if I don't latch them. I assume from the comment yours aren't like mine and just lift off the track.

Thanks Tom, as usual good info.

I have the same or at least similar problem depending on when it occurs for you. I have not had time to dig into it but my alarm activates when I put it in gear at times. I have found if I push the brake and release the parking brake and wait 5 seconds or so before putting in gear that it is much less likely to keep wailing away. May just be coincidental but I don't think so, I think there seems to be some connection to whatever pressure switch activates the buzzer and giving it time to fully trip. If I don't wait, it will come on and sometimes I have gone 5 or 10 miles down the road before it quits, which luckily up to now it eventually quits.

A buddy of mine printed these for me.
