Hi everyone, Thanks Ghostman and Conquest2011, I only wish you were right, but alas, rls7201 is correct, the 460 has 2 serpentine belts, as you can see in the image attached, the drivers side belt has the tensioner (pulley replaced already in the hope it was the source of the squeak). But the...

Hello everyone. Thank you all for your advice and support, we have just come back from a long trip and I have been spraying the bolt as instructed each day (image attached). All I need to do now is book some ramp time to give the bolt another go at coming out! In the meantime, (this could help...

More fantastic advice, thanks guys, have taken it all on board and have already started the daily applications, feeling confident quietly  :-X will be posting the (positive) outcome soon.  :))

Thanks a million everyone, will let you know how I get on, will be applying advice over the next week or so. I have also been told I could drill 1 or 2 very small hold in the cast collar just to the point of reaching the steel bolt and getting some fluids in the holes to reach the shaft of the...

Hello from the UK.... I have a 1991 Fleetwood Flair on an E350 chassis with the 460 engine and decided the squealing belts needed to be changed this year. As you can see from the photo, the bolt that holds the bottom of the alternator to the holding cast bracket needs loosening to move the...

Hi Tom, Thanks again for the info. Further research indicates both batteries should charge during driving. It says nothing about charging leisure only after main battery is charged. I think further investigation is required. Another query for you.. there are some scare stories regarding...

Hi Tom, That information was great. I have now discovered the real issue thanks to that document. Now then... the real issue is that the leisure battery does not charge when driving the vehicle. Both the engine and leisure batteries are new but only the engine battery is charging when the engine...

Hi Tom, I thought as much, seems like a standard generator is not going to do the job. Will keep you posted. Hi 92GA, Thanks for the info, only leak I can find is the right hand (passenger) window but its very hard to see how its getting in. I drips from the part of the windows that slides...

Hi Tom, Thanks for your reply. I have done a little more research into standard generators and I am no longer sure it's the best option. Did you know that 99% of generators need to be perfectly flat (level ground) to operate? And that they need 1 meter clearance all round for cooling...

Hi there, Thanks for the info on the roof, will mark out the soft areas with chalk and see what % that is of the roof and go from there. Not sure on the socket connection method (assumed ring) there are about 6 x 240v sockets. 2 of them are on separate trips (marked satellite) located at the...

Hi Tom, Thanks for the links, will give them a read. The generator is an Onan Emerald 4000w (with a loud exhaust which is another job) I was going to place an isolator on the internal ring. In 1 position it will connect the internal socket ring to the main power in (hookup) cable and in...

Hi Tom, Don't blame you for moving, we are always complaining (as you must know) about the weather. Do you have any knowledge on the 110v/240v issue over here? The van has a work site type step down for when hooked up but when we are using the generator, only the 110v sockets are live. I was...

Thanks Tom, I am in the Northwest, not far from Liverpool. I take it you either get up very early in the morning or are also in the UK?

Hi all, Have been asked to introduce myself... As the username suggests, my name is Greg and I have a Fleetwood Flair. Based in the UK, there are not many of these around and advice is hard to find here. I have tasks to do on the RV from replacing the roof and sourcing a new overhead bed to...
