2004 Cheetah..... windshield broke, but that's for later.

I've read the manual p212 etc can't see what type of slides I have, for sure the manual says don't scratch the floor.

Just had a new floor put in...... pics later....... tile was removed but am assuming some was left under the couch and the cabinets etc.

My question is, I see how to lube up the gear rack, but how does one get to the rollers, presume there are some.  The drivers side front slide does step down when it it is extended.

Thanks Folks, Tom, 

Agreed more data would be helpful.

The issue arose the day before the coach went to have the tiles replaced with a new floor.  I was hoping someone might have a sim experience.  When I get it back I'll look to see what is where.  I wont show pics of the new floor since I doubt I will have all of the pertinent data ;-))).  Kidding.

I posted this Q somewhere else but I guess wrong place.

I have a cable hanging down by the rad overflow container.

Plug it in  a fan coms on somewhere ?  B7t the cable gets really 'warm' ??

Sorry if there is another tag somewhere.

A couple of points.  During the summer the engine started fine. I noted a slight rise in rpm then it would settle.  Now it's cold [freezing] engine had not been started in 6 weeks. Started up straight away then after a few seconds almost stalled, righted itself and then carried on as in the past.  Thoughts?

There is a 110 v cable in the rear for ?  I thought engine heater.  Today I noted the cable was HOT and a fan was running somewhere, behind the radiator.  Any idea what / why? Obviously not a heater probe stuck in the engine.

Hope everyone has a safe New Year. Les

Hi Folks,

Allegedlety there is a 'glassman' in Victorville California.  M&M........ I leave messages with his staff, no reply ;))

I think I'll run with the cracked windshield for a while, but the rubber is shot ;-((

I enclose a picture of the 'support' under the hood......only 2 brackets, both as bad..... lousy, thoughts?

Oh boy........... our house was flooded a year ago last Nov, might be ready by March !

thank you.. now I know what I'll be doing over Xmas 😉

For some reason the sliding door which affixes to the toilet has managed to make a bid for freedom.  The roller unit which hangs  on the rear [exterior wall] side of the toilet wall has broken.  Not a good pic but hope you can see.  Are there replacements or is the best bet to safety wire it back together?  2004 Safari Cheetah

LMAO ??

Welcome.

If it is only one speaker it is unlikely to be emf etc [in my humble opinion].......... if the pitch of the 'buzz' does not rise or fall with rpm, likely a blown speaker or a mousey got your wires.  As suggested, move or swap wires to another speaker.

As a working musician I must admit I thoroughly dislike the RV outside entertainment units.  Last thing I want to hear is music, especially someone else's.  Even worse the hooting which goes with sports.

Most people don't realise they have the volume set too high.

My wife has NO hobbies etc........... I can assure that is worse.

contact Source Engineering in Oregon

While having the front end looked at I went in the pit with the tech and looked at the panel which had moved.

Quite the revelation, there were hinges at the top of it [not readily seen from a straight on view] and brackets at the bottom to keep it closed [which had come loose]. Nothing to see underneath so I will presume for now there is a tank in there and perhaps the way into the tank for repairs is via this panel.  Remove the brackets and lift up.   Noting in print to suggest such. ;-))).  One learns.......... I'll know in a few days when I get under the beast.

I know Tom posted something about front end bushing etc , but the 'lists' don't seem to conform to 'dates'........  anyway, thanks for the help.

I called Source spoke to Jim......... my he is no PR guy 🤣.......... however, he told me.  I BUILT THOSE COACHES and they have 1 million mile bushings in them and were not the problem........ as a customer on both ends, what do I know.   Source had a 'front end replacement 2004-2015'.   I suggest that.  NO, you just need the bags etc.  I'm confused, they work just fine, it's the clonk on braking etc which concerns me.......... sure would like the complete front end $2500.  So I have given my rv guy the source number and will leave those guys to sort it out.

Hi Folks, Tom,  This shop is known among rv'ers in this part of the world and owner had. coach like mine etc.

I'll contact Ji m or Scott.   I did search bushings, did not see what I was looking for.  Thanks all.

I need to have my drag link and steering shaft replaced because of knocking in steering column when going over bumps. The shop has diagnosed the problem. They do not have the spec's for allignment.

Thanks....

Hi All.

I have knocks etc and my tech suggests I need new bushings...........  hopefully you can see the pictures of the arms in the front... ot sure what they are called........ where might I get the rubber bushings?

<< it is a real white knuckle drive at times. I live on a dirt road and I can move the wheel several inches in either direction without changing direction while driving 15-20mph.>>.  I also have a constant need to correct by a considerable amount, in high winds the steering wheel can be turned 90 degrees to keep the unit straight.

I'm taking it back to a front end guy on Monday since he gave it the all clear a few months back.

Thanks all.    If it is working seems I have the electric core heater...........

OK  I admit to ignorance.   how does Aqua-hot heat the engine?

Hi Harry.

I believe I have the basic coach ;-)). When I bought it I read somewhere about a 'heater' can't find the print anywhere......... yes I have a dangling cord, will plug in today to see if it works.  

I'm no doubt in the wrong place, sorry.  Also didn't see any headings as per this Q.  2004 Cheetah.  I see the cable in the rear bay for the sump heater........ looked in the manual and did not find out where the switch is to switch it on.  Where is it please?  Les

Thanks.

I have to try and find a Monaco glass fitter locally, seems there might be one in Chino..... such a hassle ;-))

Hi Ray, thank you but I didn't find a video.   Whatever it is I don't think I would spend the money.  My Cheetah is a split windshield.

Anyone hd any experience with https://www.thepaintdepartment.com. seems they have rebuilt the front caps for Monaco's ?
