After having parked it back in July, I went out today to start it up and pull it away from the house to start to get it ready for a Thanksgiving week trip to N. Alabama. My typical routine when I have it parked at the house it to plug it in and leave nothing on inside minus a dehumidifier that...

Tripped.  But did not give an error indication like it would if it shut off due to high temp, etc.  Ended up charging both batteries separately over the weekend and re-hooked them up this AM.  Fired up fine.  I suspect that the stay at the RV service center where they did not get started up...

OK folks buckle up...this may take a few minutes to read. Just brought 2006 34XB Allegro Bay back from being at the RV shop for some routine maintenance (Diesel oil, generator, roof inspection, etc.) before we leave 1st of August for a 5-6 week trip. The bus had been over there for just short...

I would agree with that. I did use a diesel fuel additive (stablizer) 300 miles or so ago.  Was thinking the rig sitting at 10K feet altitude for the last couple of days may have created a "bubble" in the fuel/oil/antifreeze lines. But doesn't explain why the coach 120VAC wasn't working which...

Shore power works fine.  We have hooked back up until the mobile RV mechanic arrives tomorrow. 

One month to the day since we left our home in FL.  Been to AL/TN/OH/IN/KS and have been in Colorado (Cripple Creek KOA) since Saturday.  So far the trip has gone smooth.  Leaving this AM to head to Estes Park CO, my 2006 Tiffin Cummins FRED decided to throw us a curve.  Upon starting the...

After leaving the RMNP area in Colorado we would like to head south towards Santa Fe and vicinity.  Having never been to NM before, I have always wanted to visit but don't have any idea on where to go or what to do.  We are avid hikers and prefer State or National parks vs independent.  35'...

Sorry for the delayed response but we just got back from a wonderful 5 days down in Cedar Key, FL (Low Key Hideaway).  Anyway...traced the wired back to the switch (main battery disconnect).  All was fine but I noticed that the ground was hanging loose.  Re-attached and all worked fine. ...

Would this be the likely culprit?  This is adjacent to my chassis batteries.

Leaving on a trip tomorrow and went out this AM to start up the coach to position it closer to the house for provisioning.  I had not started it for approximately 3-4 weeks prior to trying this morning.  When I turned the ignition key on nothing happened.  I even tried using the Aux Start but my...

Was able to locate a stronger magnet and could audibly hear the relay engage/disengage but to no avail.  The red light continues to blink.  I bypassed the sensor just to see if the refrigerator would work.  Worked like a champ!  Was able to cycle through all modes and everything was fine...

So another piece to the puzzle that may lead me to a solution.  I noticed while "cleaning out the cobwebs" that the Norcold Recall with modified Thermal Sensor R-010 was blinking red.  I checked to see if I had 12VDC at the input and I do.  But nothing at the output.  I read that a strong magnet...

I live in Florida and did not feel the need to winterize my RV as we don't get all that cold but I did do a few things to minimize the electrical draw on the house by turning off my 1200LRIM Norcold unit and propping the doors open.  This was done after using it last (1st week of December)...

Funny you should mention nest.  When I took the cover off to get to the air filter etc., I noticed a bunch of string, cloth and leaves.  There was a long dead mouse corpse resting on top.  Cleaned all of that out but did not see anything else in the way of obstructions.  Fan looked clean as...

I had purchased back in November 2015 a 35' (2006 Tiffin Allegro Bay) diesel motor coach with a ONAN 5.5 generator with less than 200 hours on it.  I noticed several weeks ago when utilizing the generator while having the unit parked in my driveway, that the generator would shut off after 30-45...
