I appreciate the responses.  I think you'll are basically saying the same thing the service shop person has: replace the original guides with a different type of guide.  For codgerbill; the original guides insert into a plastic bracket attached to the back of the cabinet.  Those brackets have a...

On our recent trip (3500 miles total), we had several of the plastic bracket that the drawer guide fit into on the back fail (1999 Winnbago UA 38').  I wasn't to surprised considering how rough some of the roads are.  The plastic brackets actually broke into several pieces.  I don't know if...

Gary, I think you and Molaker are right on since you described what appeared to be happening.  We had some discussions about the wiring in the shop but we didn't have the knowledge or the equipment to check.  We did try a shop light and it worked plugged into the outlet but then it could have...

The main power cord reached the shop outlet without an estension cord.  I did have to use a 50 to 30 amp converter and a 30 to standard 20 amp  connector.  I was able to measure 110 volts at the end of the main power cord where it is connected to the coach.  However, inside only about 75 volts. ...

I completed a trip to Ohio and back to Houston over the last 3 weeks.  For us everything went ok with only minor problem (compared to a lot of major problem last year).  One thing I don't understand; while in Ohio we stayed at a relative's farm for several days.  I plugged into a shop outlet...

Thanks for the replys.  After reading the replys I realized that I had a mistake in my original post.  The house batterys are the ones that are dead not the chassie batterys.  Sorry.  So the question is will the EMS allow the converter/charger to work if the house batterys are completely...

We have had 1999 Winnebago Ult Advantage (38') for a little over a year.  We have had to solve several big problems over the year.  I have aparently created another.  We had the MH out for 6 nights a couple of weeks.  Everthing seemed to operate as it should; no problems.  After the trip I...

I thought I would post this because it might help someone else.  It probably would apply to other engines also.  During the summer I made a trip and had transmission problems which turned out to be a blown fuse located at the transmission.  After the repair the transmission appeared to be...

I want to thank everyone that responded.  As suggested, I contacted Winnebago support and received a fairly quick response.  The confirmed that there is a BIRD relay and sent me some drawings showing the location.  I don't think it is working correctly or possibly I have a weak alternator.  At...

This a Winnebago related issue.  I looked through a long post on another forum about charging House batteries with the coach alternator.  Some (most) of the people posting were positive that all MH's had a provision for charging the house batteries while driving.  It was my understanding that on...

I found out what caused the problem and wanted to add this so it might help someone else.  The fuse at the trasmission was blown.  It is not easy to get to on this MH.  Very difficult or impossible to get to from underneath.  Two panels had to be taken out under the bed to get access to the top...

I had a problem with lose of electrical power to the Allison 3060 transmission a few weeks ago.  I had to leave it with a RV Dealer for repair and I am still waiting.  I have since read that there is an inline fuse in the 12v line going to the transmission.  Does anyone have an idea where this...

Yes; all the gages and lights on the dash come on and look normal.  Someone that was helping with a meter to measure voltage thought the voltage at the relays up front was only 6 volts.  It was 12.6 at the batteries.  I am not sure he understod where he was measuring the voltage up front.  No...

Can anyone tell me what happans if you lose the electrical power to a Allison 6sd transmission?  The reason I am asking is that yesterday about 2 hours into a 3 day trip I had an 'Check Transmission' light come on and I lost all power to the drive wheels (like putting the transmission in...

Several of you have helped me with what were relatively small problem in the past 4 months.  Well now I have a bigger problem.  Left the Houton area for Little Rock with the intent of getting to Columbus, Ohio for my brother's 60th wedding Aniv. by the end of next week.  Everything went great...
