  1. Update - I may have figured out something. I forgot that I had put a small, but fairly heavy, safe in the under-bed storage area along with the 2 folding chairs and the central vac accessories. I removed the safe and now the slide extends all the way without stopping. So, for now, problem solved. We're leaving for a 3 week trip out west next week. Remains to be seen if the problem is really solved or not. I still think that I'm going to have to eventually replace the slide motor. Thanks everyone for all the advice and suggestions.
  2. John and Tom - thanks for the suggestions. Tom, you mentioned a link but none appears in your post. Can you PM it to me? A little more detail on my problem. I try not to operate the slides on battery power. I always park on as level a spot as possible, make sure coach is fully aired up., shut down the engine, plug in to shore power, then run the slides out, then only level if needed. The bed slide is the one thats giving me the problem. It will start extending for a foot or so then stop. I let off of the switch for a second, then push it again and the slide starts moving out again for another foot or so. Usually have to do this several times to reach full extention. When moving the slide back in, it works perfectly all the way back in. The wardrobe slide works perfectly. Temp doesn't seem to make a differance. I'm wondering if the motor has a bad winding.
  3. I have a 2007 Holiday Rambler Endeavor 40 PDQ. While extending the roadside bedroom slide it stops before full extention. I release the switch for a second, then press it again and the slide continues extending for a bit then stops again. It will do this several times until it fully extends. The first time it happened I thought it was because we had too much stuff piled on the bed, but now it does it with nothing on the bed. Is there an adjustment that I can check, or do I need a new motor? Tim
  4. Thanks Chris - I'll be contacting you ASAP. Sounds like we may be able to save this floor. Tim
  5. Vito - thanks for the info. I’m familiar with AZ RV Expert, I’ll search for that video. Gary - I haven’t dug into the floor as of yet, but looking at it from the outside it appears that the white plastic may have originally been glued to the OSB but is now loose. I’ll start peeling the layers apart from the top and hopefully make patch panels to replace the damaged wood. What is a Talin Guardian Plate? Tim
  6. Has anyone had to replace their rotted out Slideout floor? I have a 2007 Endeavor 40PDQ. The underside of the roadside slide out is sagging and crumbling on both ends. The floor appears to consist of a plastic or thin fiberglass sheet with an OSB plywood layer above it. The OSB is rotted and crumbling. I’m in the process of replacing the dometic 1402 refer with a residential fridge, so now is the time to repair the floor. I just pulled out the old fridge, all of the cabinets and carpeting. There is a plywood floor apparently covering the OSB. One corner of the plywood (under the fridge) is slightly rotted away. So, my question is, how are these things constructed? Are the walls sitting on top of the floor? What is the floor fastened to? Suggestions for how I should go about replacing the damaged floor. I’m sure there must be info from previous posts, but I can’t find it. Thanks for whatever help or advice you can offer. Tim
  7. Thanks for the replies fellas. I guess I’ll stick with the long “TRUCKERS” gauges that I already have. Tom, I’m glad your grandson is ok. That Subaru must be well built. I am a retired auto damage adjuster, 23 years with State Farm Ins. I’ve had to inspect more gruesome wrecks than I care to think about, so I can only imagine how those two folks at the front desk must have felt when they saw your grandson. As for TPMS, I had the TST system on my last coach. The display was way too small and hard to read. Plus the 12v power cord plug was very loose and it kept wiggling in the socket and disconnecting. It became such a PITA that I just stopped plugging it in. My current coach also had a TPMS system. I forget what brand it is (I’m at work right now), but it doesn’t work. It’s an older system and the wheel sensor batteries are all dead. The batteries can not be replaced, you have to buy all new sensor’s. Seems ridiculous to me. Bottom line is, I’m not going to get another TPMS system unless there is a better system with a large display, or a way to display it on an iPad, and it has replaceable sensor batteries. Do you have any suggestions.
  8. Looking for suggestions for a good quality digital tire pressure gauge. I have a handful of gauges and I get different readings on all of them. Thanks for any help.
  9. Thanks for that info Adam. I just checked the magnedyne website and I found the adapter plate, but not sure of the wiring harness yet. I'll have to call tech support later on for more info. Thanks again.
  10. Thank you everyone for all the suggestions. I think for now I'll fabricate a filler plate to fill the entire opening where the old radio was. I have a sheet of 1/8th inch aluminum that should work pretty well. I'll glue it to the backside of the woodgrain dash panel using panel bond. We use panel bond in the body shop to glue body panels on. Should easily support the weight of the new radio. I will try to remember to follow up with photo's and results.
  11. Thanks Scotty - I must admit, I am definitely not up to speed on stereo stuff. This whole DIN thing is new to me. I haven't replaced a stereo in about 20 years. I should probably get educated from my kids. My problem with this installation is that the new radio is a single DIN, so I need to find some way to mount this smaller radio into a much larger hole. I've been searching on this forum and IRV2. I did see a post where someone made a completely new dash panel out a piece of oak and stained it to match the rest of his woodwork. I just might give that try. Two of the corners are broken on my dash panel from the screws being tightened too tight, so now would be a good time to replace it. I'm open to any idea's.
  12. I'm about to install a new stereo to replace the old magnadyne. What are you guys doing to adapt a new single din stereo into the old double din hole. Are there new dash panels available to do this? Amazon has adaptors, but they are year make and model specific, so obviously nothing is available for RV's. Thanks Tim
  13. Actually, I'm looking for an app for my phone. Buying another piece af equipment is not what I want to do at this time.
  14. What is a good RV specific app. Google maps is good, but it is set up for cars only. I need something that will allow me to enter in the size of my coach etc.
  15. Thanks Ivan, I think that might be just what I'm looking for.
  16. Dr4Film - I've seen that post before, but as I originally posted, I'm looking for info on relocating the oil filter.
  17. Thanks Paul A. I tried doing a search for posts about this but had no luck. Do you have a link for that post?
  18. Has anyone installed a remote oil filter and /or a bypass oil filter system on a cummins ISL? Sure would be nice to have it in an easier to change location.
  19. SteveC - Thanks for the info. Looks like I'll go with the bluefire.
  20. Steve, do you have a photo of how you mounted the ipad. Also have you had any problems with bluefire dropping off and then reconnecting? I used a bluetooth dongle on my F350 powerstroke when I towed our 5th wheel, and I was very pleased with being able to see all the important info. Sure hope this bluefire works out.
  21. Are there any opinions out there on the blue fire ? I'm thinking I'll go with the bluefire vs scangauge so I can use my ipad for a nice large display. My old eyes just aren't what they used to be.
  22. I have a 2007 HR Endeavor. There is what I hope is an OBD data port mounted on the left side of the steering column. It has a round plastic cap on it. I have tried turning it to unscrew it, but it doesn't budge. So before I reef on it and brake it, I thought I better ask if anyone has any idea how this cap comes off. I'm considering a Bluefire adapter and my ipad to display engine info. Tim
  23. What Kenwood are you guys talking about? Is it a radio or nav unit or both?
