    onan generator wont start

    Probably not gonna be of too much help but...two things come to mind on my end..PERHAPS your chassis batterys are of insuffient charge to crank up the genny..Number 2 is maybe the genny has TOO much oil in it..and its spitting it out where it can. Or else maybe the seals are shot and your...

    Any one use a 5 star engine tuner on their Ford V10? Looking

    I was thinking about doing this to my coach. I think there was a problem getting/using this in the "Golden" state...what about that?? Also if anybody has the device maybe for a small fee I could borrow it? Thanks. ;D

    Do I have the right battery.

    You did not say in your post if the trailer was plugged into shore power when opening/closing slides. In my experience the slides work faster if I am plugged into shore power..or have the genset running. If neither of those I start the engine. Seems to give the batterys that extra shot of power.

    Norcold Refrigerator

    Might be soot builup. Open the cover and give a close look. Also you might take a bic BBQ lighter out there and have someone turn it on while you are there, trying to light it by hand. Good Luck!

    Why do some rv parks not allow class C?

    Back in 2012 we had refurbished inside and out our 1985 Lazy Daze Class C rig. She is a massive 22 footer. I made rez at an upper end campground on the Island at Havasu. They had an age restriction on rigs that can stay there. !0 years as I recall. We checked in and not a word was said about our...

    Good Sam as roadside assistance?

    I can't remember all the circumstances involved but I was a long time AAA member. My wife still is. I switched to Good Sam because the RV towing services were supposed to be better. Thankfully I have not needed any service from them. I would like to add that Good Sam and Camping world are run by...

    Does my inverter have to be ON?

    Hey Al. Seems all is well with my system I believe I mentioned my controller was showing two LED lamps which the manual explained was caused by a warmer than desired compartment where my system is installed on my 37F winnabago. The storage compartment right next to the entry steps is my chosen...

    Magnetek converter problem

    Years ago I researched this problem on my 1985 Lazy Daze class C rig. I bought and installed the KIT that Stu recommended in his post. I know just enough to keep me out of trouble with electrical and after taking pics before starting the project had no problems. The 3 stage charger still workd...

    Does my inverter have to be ON?

    Good points there Lou. Brings up something I experienced when I had my 400 watts of panels put on the roof. They put in a dedicated subpanel with breakers for circuits the inverter would be supplying power to. I noticed my 2 way fridge did not run on inverter power. I was going to complain/ask...

    22.5 wheel

    If your budget allows it you should buy another rim the same size. Then the steering tires would be the same. Having one odd size wheel could end up being troublesome. Just my 2 cents...
