    Gasoline smell outside/under Class C

    Lou Schneider is the winner of the best guess at Generator fuel line. It started leaking when I bumped into it with my head. It was rotten clean through but.... the smell was the tank itself not the weak fuel line. I replace the rigid fuel line with normal fuel line and zip tied to the old line...

    Gasoline smell outside/under Class C

    charcoal canister is a good idea but I've not seen it on my last expedition. Maybe it's on the road someplace. I bet that's the issue. I've had to weld broken muffler hangers so it's very likely the hanger for the can broke as well. Some electric glue and stick a new one in place. tank rust: My...

    Gasoline smell outside/under Class C

    Fuel pump is in the tank so all fuel lines are pressurize to injector pressure and I don't have any signs of a leak and both Genni and Engine perform normally. When I replaced the fuel filter last year I elected to not depressurize the fuel rail (mistake) and it released a considerable amount...

    Did you get an inspector before buying your used RV?

    We did not get an inspection. Bought it from a private party and did the walk around in his driveway. I didn't test drive (I was afraid something would happen) but I inspected all the major components and poked at everything I could see and open. Looking back, I should have asked an experienced...

    Gasoline smell outside/under Class C

    Hello everyone, Just returned from a 5 day trip to Arkansas (from Minnesota). Day one of the trip I could smell gasoline outside when standing behind or near the back. It's an 02 Winnebago 29B with a lot more rust from salt than I'd like.... So I crawled under for an immediate inspection. No...

    Intermittent slide problem

    I thought the same thing. But. It's a special double relay (RELAY 2x14V 12VDC FBR512ND12-W1). 2xSPDT in one package. Used for car seats in it's day. Pin compatible parts are not available  >:( . I hope my local Winny dealer has a generic switch that can be installed or I'm down to reworking the...

    Intermittent slide problem

    Mine is 2002 and uses an acme (worm) screw with a current limit. When the motor draws 30amps the lm324 IC cuts off the relay. I looked for limit switches for hours before reading the manual. Silly me. It also looks like the relay is no longer available unless I order old stock from Budapest so...

    Intermittent slide problem

    old post but I have same issue. After 2 years of double tapping the switch the relay in the switch module burned up. my guess is low amps getting to the motor due to high resistance in the relay eventualy the relay failed. Can I still get parts for Kwikee for a 2002. I looked and see that...

    Arches National Park

    Thanks everyone for the wisdom. So the trip is over. Drove the 2000 plus miles with an average MPG about 8.5 (v10 gas, 30ft Class C).  Going over the mountains (Loveland and Vail) was 35 mph with hazards on and following a few semi's helps mentally. Spent the first night in Horse Thief...

    Arches National Park

    Hello everyone, I'm looking for some advice on taking a 30ft class-C into Arches National Park as my only vehicle (this September). I've been to Moab many times but never in my RV and not into the park. Without a toad I have to drive the RV and deal with parking issue, rent a car for the week...
