  1. If your slack adjusters have not been greased at regular intervals they could be not adjusting. Have someone go under there and mark them with chalk and then apply the brakes. Easy to see the push rod travel. Inspectors do this all the time.

  2. I had to replace my valve the day I got home with my 2003 Beaver. I pulled the valve out and took it down to a local truck dealer. The parts guy said they didn't carry any crap made that cheaply. The whole thing was plastic. He went in back and got one that was metal. Connected right up with no problems. First one lasted less than a year, Second one has been there for 19 years. Buy a name brand metal one.

  3. My alternator went crazy a couple of years ago.  On full charge all the time. I pulled it off and took it to the local Western Star dealer here. Took the old one with me so they could see the numbers on it. He went in the back and came out with an exact  replacement for it. About $150 as I recall. S..ame numbers, Same red wire out the back. Brand new.

  4. My coax got cut just at the base of the crank uo antennae, When I pulled the base up of the roof and dug out the sealant I found a connection. under the roof was a couple of coils of coax. Replaced the coax from the top part of the antennae down to the base. Left enough extra to put new connection and some coax down in the space under the roof, I doubt you can pull coax through coach, Mine is zip tied to anything and everything every six inches.

  5. Try replacing the plug that is behind the refrigerator. My Samsung quit working and I took the plug apart and found that the cheap blade type connectors had literally fell apart. Replaced it with a heavy duty GFI plug about 6 years ago. I am assuming you have checked for power in the wire going to plug.

  6. I have a 2003 Beaver with hydraulics for the two slideouts and the jacks. I had a hose leaking at a fitting near the manifold for the pump. I thought I could cut the hose back and put a reusable fitting on it. The hose is rubber and we could not get a reusable fitting to stay on. Was told the reusable field replaceable fittings will not work on rubber hoses. Finally just replaced both hoses going to that slideout with all new fabric like covered hoses.

  7. Had same problem with mine a while back. There is a round sensor in the door frame about 15 inches up from the corner on the lock side of the door. That sensor will go bad or a wire will come loose. Also it has to be pretty close to the matching one on the door to work. I had to pull mine out a little and silicone it in place to correct it. Good luck.

  8. Read the manual. If you have three jacks you have dump the air from your bags then lower the front jack first to give the coach a pivot po[nt. I saw a guy pop his windshield out at a park in AZ. because the front was already high so he thought he could just level the back to it. Even if the front is higher you still need to raise the front a couple of inches first.
