I made a wand for flushing out the holding tank. I made one from 1/2 " PVC water pipe. Drilled a hole through the side of the pipe (pipe cap actually) so water would spray horizontally across the tank. It takes me 45 minutes of spraying to rinse the holding tank. My wife sometimes...

Thanks John; The link you posted was a huge help.  I was able to obtain part numbers and names on motor possibilities.    Found some useful youtube videos.    The owner of the RV can move the slide manually so he decided to delay the repair until he gets back home.  He needs to get the...

All of his paperwork says the unit is an 2003.  I have an 04 Brave.  My 04 Brave has two headlights and his sightseer has four headlights.  I think the unit is older than 03.  The exterior graphics are simple with two stripes.    He only has a living room slide out, no bedroom slide. It's a...

Yes, it's a Winnebago. The slide is a DigiSync Room slide System made by Kwikee The Error codes say the motor is bad.   the motor began working intermmitantly then quit altogether We tested and voltage is reaching the motor, the motor should be running but it is not I usually include...

A unit in the RV park needs to replace the one slide out motor.    The slide has 2 motors.    Need some ideas.  I hope it is easier than it looks Appreciate any possible help. Unit is not an 03 but 2000, 2001, 2002 Thanks Jim Glass Crystal River Florida

After 12 weeks in Florida we decided to head home to the Rockford Illinois area a week early because of the virus.    The virus news changed by the hour, decided not to wait a week for virus updates.  Made the decision to pack up and leave a week early.  I drove 15 hours the first day and 9...

Read above...  They got it running.  It wouldn't turn over because the Dash AC was frozen.  They removed the compressor and replaced it with an idler pulley.  Good to go now. Thanks for the help

Davismills had the correct solution.  :)  The AC compressor froze up.  A mechanic replaced the AC with an idler pulley, problem resolved. I'm back in Illinois for Christmas then return to Florida for the remaining winter.  I had a contact back in Florida for the update. Thanks for the help

AUX START is the same as jump start which they already tried. I need to know how many things would prevent the engine from turning over?    Is it possible a cylinder is flooded with gasoline?    Damaged gear on the flywheel? This is bound to have happened to someone else, what was the problem.

Yes, they jumped it, no change

Not sure if anyone tried a jump start.  I'll try that in the morning.    That would sure be an easy fix.\\ Rather odd that this motorhome never had a prior issue. Drove it from Ohio to Florida.    It was running fine when parked on the camp sight.  Then, a few days later this problem...

Won't turn over!!!!    Starter seems to make a groaning sound.

I checked the oil just now and it looks fine. Could this engine be hydrolocked by a cylinder flooded with gasoline?? Jim

Trying to assist a woman traveling alone with  a 1999 ford Tritin V10, 75K on the engine.  Parked it on a camp sight and a couple of days later it failed to start.  At first we thought it was the starter so it was replaced.  At first The new starter made a grinding noise then all was quiet. ...

That 14 VDC was the coach batteries with the solar panel charging them.  Coach batteries are 12 or 13 volts at night. I started the motorhome 4 or 5 times before taking this trip and it always started fine.  I figured something must have been left on to have a dead battery in Florida.    The...
