  1. The stickers and titties are still on them. Along with 15 years of dust.
  2. If you can buy brand new michelin's that have never been installed, and still have the stickers on them but have a 2008 date code, for $100 a piece, would you run them? I know for a fact they have never seen sunlight.
  3. Check the small push in breakers on the inverter. I have had mine trip into the same thing.
  4. That is the same one I have and it's quiet. Open the cover and packet full of when not fully seated; not that I would know look what the devil rockwool.🤪 I have a significant experience with motor relays and solenoids, and I know they will humm like the devil if not fully seated; not that I would know what a humming devil sounds like. Damned autocorrect. Pack it full of rockwool.
  5. If it is actually a humming noise when activated, it is most likely the contact relay solenoid humming. If you can open it up, the contact relay should have a make and part number on it, and should be available anywhere online at a reasonable cost. Whatever you do, make sure you are unplugged from Shore power and the generator is not running when working on this d*** thing.
  6. I'm still suffering from sticker shock. One piece of tempered glass at 15 and a quarter inch by 62 and a half inch is going to cost $600 by the time it's delivered.
  7. Hypothetically speaking of course. If a guy was looking for the left hand flat glass panel for a 06 diplomat, where might someone find one? Just asking for a friend!
  8. I found the retrofitable motor which is slightly more powerful and a 10 mm D motor shaft/half inch square awning shaft adapter coupler online. Drilled two additional holes in what I call the P mounting plate and the shortened the adapter coupler by half of an inch. Far better than that POS welded aluminum do half inch adapter the manufacturer originally used. I have created a form that profiles the new motor as it is slightly larger than the original motor preventing me from using the original motor cover. All but one of my fiberglassing supplies arrived today preventing me from starting to create the new cover.
  9. After speaking with one of our technicians, he claims, when they are unable to replace a faulty or damaged reporting/signaling device on a J1939 databus network, they have used some type of a data bus digital to analog converter for the device. He also said it's generally hit or miss. Either way, let's hope you find the correct part and are able to reestablish the connection. Keep us posted. He was supposed
  10. You would be amazed by what my field technicians can do with different applications. Anyway, it sounds like you have found a source for the module which will certainly be the easiest approach. Please follow up when you get it resolved.
  11. I believe the switch is nothing more than a switch / relay module all built in one. Frankly, a stupid idea. If you have a wiring diagram and a little low voltage aptitude, you can easily Buy three replacement switches with a three gang faceplate, and dry contact relays according to the rated amps required, basically recreating the module. If a replacement is not available, this is exactly what any competent low voltage guy would do. If you are unable to find a direct replacement, let me know and and I would be happy help you Source the parts and draw up a wiring diagram for it.
  12. For some reason I'm overlooking downloads. I'll keep looking thank you I found it, thank you
  13. Will someone please Point me towards the files section. I am looking for wiring diagrams.
  14. Tim, can you call me. 702.524.6577 Ken Don't buy an awning yet. I may be on to something.
  15. Can you read the entire Bosch number on your housing? The only part of mine I can read is Bosch 058-05-?????? I have found a replacement motor but the problem is the splined shaft in the original motor. Did yours have a bastardized aluminum spline gear on the motor that was TIG welded to a aluminum half inch square coupler? Or am I just special; and I don't mean riding the short yellow bus.
  16. The new motor does not fit. I disassembled my original motor; which appears to have been salvaged from the Titanic. Time to go to plan B; not the pill. Fyi, I have no plan b.
  17. The motor I received from Amazon is not the correct motor. I'll research a little more and keep you posted.
  18. I should have mine tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes and what shims and bolts are needed.
  19. I have a 2006 diplomat. What are the chances that I am changing my otd motor today. What a miserable job. You are correct, a direct replacement is not available, although Amazon is loaded with them. This is a very common motor. The difference I see is the replacement motor/ gearbox does not have the cast mounting standoffs like the original and will require shimming the bolts for the proper mounting. Assuming yours is like mine, there is some type of bastard aluminum gear/coupler attached to the original motor. This was easily removed and should reattach to the new motor. Frankly, it looks like Carefree used a hodgepodge of Parts when they were building this model. You will have to replace the three mounting bolts, and use steel spacers accordingly. These are easily available at any hardware store. The best I can tell, is this will work. It's worth a $39 try on amazon and I ordered it today and it will be here tomorrow. Don't take my word for it, do your due diligence. I'll let you know how it turns out tomorrow.
  20. Although he posted the two files which show the parts diagram, nowhere do I see the diagram numbers showing the actual part number. Is there a page missing?
  21. Any thoughts on Switching original Green coolant to Red final charge in isl400 with 150k on it.
