I have a '93 Fleetwood Pace Arrow.  The engine is a GM 454.  To reach the brake fluid reservoir from the "dog house" you will need a good flashlight.  Shine the light down the left side of the engine.  It is hard to find and about an arm's length deep buried amongst the wires, cables, etc.  The...

Thank you guys for the tips. I will now have a place to start thanks to your suggestions. I enjoy the forum and have learned a lot over the past 9 years. You are the best!

Hello, I see that many have read the problem I still have with my Onan gen. Is there anyone out there who can tell me what I can do to fix the problem? Thanks.

  Have a 7K Onan.    Last camping trip out I started the generator and let it run about 4 minutes then turned on the ac.  The generator quit and yet it sounded like the starter motor was still whining until I pressed the rocker switch to off.  Can anyone clue me in in what is going wrong?  The...

:'( Hi folks, it has been some time since I had a problem I couldn't solve on my own but this one has me baffled. My 7 k generator starts up okay, I wait about 3 minutes for it to warm up then turn on the ac. This shuts the gen down but the gen continues to make a whining noise, not the sound...

Hi Ron, I also need to do some re-roofing. My rv is 20 years old and has the original rubber roof. It is still intact and has no leaks yet.  I realize that the labor to recover it is where the big expense is so I believe I will go the EPDM liquid coating route.  I've been told that the prep work...

Have an older Dometic reefer. Hope to check it out as soon as I get the motor home out of storage but last July while dry camping at an airshow, my wife noticed that, although we were running on propane, she would find the activation switch in "check". She'd turn it back on only to find that a...

Not only should we welcome vets to join in but all of us need to say "thank you for your service to our Nation"!  As camping weather approaches here in the north east I would like to take this opportunity to invite all you veterans to enjoy our annual airshow in Geneseo, NY.  We hold an annual...

Yes, you're right.  Don't see many oldies on the road.  We have a '93 Pace Arrow with 40 k on it and all systems are working.  Just got new dual tires. Most every year I put money into it to keep her fit.  We limit our travel to camping in a State forest about 60 miles away and stay a week at a...

All you aircraft and military history buffs,  I just have to say that if you missed the annual Geneseo Air Show you missed a great experience.  My wife and I are volunteer members of the Historical Aircraft Group located in Geneseo, N.Y.  The Air Show is the greatest Air Show on turf and takes...

:)  Thanks for the tips Ned and Lou.  I forgot to mention that the air-conditioner, microwave, etc run on shore power but just not on the generator like when we'd be dry camping.  I have checked the two switches on the generator - they are on.  Have checked the 20 amp fuses on the gen and they...

:(  Why do I not get any electrical supply from generator to interior a/c lights, microwave, air-conditioner? I have checked all plug in from generator to the air-conditioner, cleaned ground wires, etc.  I am not very knowledgable of such things but could it be a "transfer switch". And if so...

Hi folks,            I purchased a new propane alarm for my '93 Pace Arrow motor home.  It is a 2 wire unit.  In order to install it I understand that I need to remove the device built onto the on board propane delivery system.  I am referring to that electrical device that shuts off the...

Have been RV'ing about 5 years and have resolved many of the maintainence or fix-it problems inherent with owning a motor home.  Thought I was a user on this site already for the past 4-5 years but the site would not recognize my other username.  Tells me that 'roadrunner' is already taken. ...
