    Newbie Help Please

    Change the relay, they are cheap. It could have burned contacts. You need a meter to trouble shoot this problem. The pump only gets power for 10 to 15 seconds when you turn the key on. The oil pressure switch passes power for the pump after the engine is running and has oil pressure. So yes...

    Generac Q-55G won't start

    My 2003 Dolphin generator was powered from the coach batteries. That generac needs 12 volts to start and generate power. The generac generators flash the field every time it starts. I've seen some of them that needed to have the start switch held down an extra second or two for then to generate...

    Good time to Buy or Sell a motorhome?

    I've had my MH listed since Saturday. A little below low retail, and have many updated items . Not one inquiry , but 436 lookers. I have come to the conclusion that I'll never be able to travel by myself anymore, so decided to sell. May still be a bit early for the season, we shall see. Not...

    Who makes the ugliest truck?

    I don't really like Chevys HD trucks but I really like my 2021 Silverado. I had a 2019 too but it was smashed by a tree falling on it last summer.

    Mobility scooter vs Electric wheelchair?

    I have had a Invacare 3 wheel scooter for 15 years. On the 3rd set of batteries, but that thing is great. I bought mine when the family wanted to do things that required a lot of walking. I bought it used from a fellow that bought it for his wife but it was too heavy for him to put in the trunk...

    Filling a fixed MH Propane tank

    My 313 Challenger has a 20 gallon tank on it. I stopped the FS gas supplier earlier this summer and had my MT tank filled. Cost me $57.00. I don't know if I left the furnace on or the refrigerator, but my tank was MT when I was getting ready to go visit my friend in Murfreesboro,Tn. Didn't end...

    What's Your Favorite Battery Charger & Maintainer?

    I own a couple CTEK-3300. They do work good, BUT when it gets cool out they are hard to get the mode ya want. I just bought a couple MOTOPOWER MP00205B 12V 1000mA Automatic Battery Charger, Battery Maintainer, 20 bucks each. They work good too.

    Truck and Trailer Left for 2 Years - Advice Please

    I wouldn't be worried about the gas at all. My MH has been sitting for as long as yours has. It had a full tank of gas when parked. I do start it now and again but the gas is 2 years old, and it runs fine. I just brought it up and give it a good bath this week. Engine ran fine and the generator...

    Thoughts about a 1-year, elderly solo full timer's choice of a motor home

    There are many lower mileage older class As out there for sale. not as many now but still quite a few. Myself, I would never even consider an older coach with a diesel engine. Way to expensive to repair, and the ALL have to be repaired at some point. I picked up a 96 Damon Challenger a couple...

    Did you know Rand McNally lifetime maps are good for only 36 months??

    I used google maps for ONE trip about 4 years ago. Learned my lesson from that ONE trip, never again. I bought a Garmin RV soon as I got home. Google had me on oiled country roads in Ark and Mo, for at least 120 miles that trip.

    RV Wax Protection

    Collinite, also makes a liquid wax, but I don't remember the number for sure, think maybe 877. I haven't used it for quite a while. I switched to Meguires 0ne step and Turtle Wax Ice. Lasts longer and has a better shine in MY opinion. I use the Turtle Wax Ice on all my painted vehicles too. They...

    Big Life Changes!

    You might consider an all aluminum trailer to tow the Rav4 on, if you like the vehicle. They cost more than a steel trailer but will always bring much more when selling too. Myself, I'd much rather pull a trailer than tow a car 4 down. I pulled a drag car on a trailer for many years, without any...

    Replacing the lower part of my power converter

    That's because there have been a lot of knock offs sold on those sites. Can't blame progressive for not wanting to warrantee a cheap Chinese copy of their product.

    Generac GN 480 No Power

    There are all kinds of info on the net about generac generators. Never had one do what you are saying. A generac is completely different than a onan. The carb is probably what's causing the stalling. And a stalling engine with a load is awful hard on regulators. After ya get it so it will run...
