  1. No, the RV was parked for 2 months. I was in it asleep and the smoke detector went off. I turned on the vents. I looked for the source. I couldn't find anything. I had all the windows and door open. I could smell it by the door.  It was dark and I looked around and I finally found the burnt up relays. I read that the Hamsar solenoid is prone to burning up. If I would of known I would of pulled it. I don't think it was working because I don't remember the DRL's (day running lights) were not on. For those reading, pull or replace the relay when not driving.

    That is a double bulb seal. We only use seals from Uni Grip. We dropped Steele rubber because of failures and fitment issues.

    Uni-Grip produces a high quality seal. We buy hundreds of feet of double bulb seals at a time because our work is predominately on Monaco brand coaches. Since you own an executive I can tell you to be sure to buy a bottle of advil for your hands afterwards. The higher up the food chain in regards to Monaco coaches the harder seal replacements are. The Dynastys, Exec's and Sigs have very tight slid/side wall clearances making seal replacement difficult. Don't be surprised if you invent some brand new curse words during the project.

    One trick is to steal a flat wooden spoon from your wife's kitchen drawer to help push the seal into place. If your wife catches you, blame it on me. The list is long and distinguished of the women who want to choke me for being a bad influence on their husbands. Kind of reminds me of the time I suggested to a husband to use the dishwasher to clean some parts. That scored me some points with his wife. 🙂 Good luck. Replacing seals on the higher end coaches can be a miserable job. Your hands will ache for days afterwards.

    Where is your shop located? In case my seals decide to leak.
