Our Damon has two Carrier A/Cs and the front one quit on us in August 2017 while the wife and I were camping for a couple of months in Arkansas.  A local repair shop installed a new Coleman Model 47201A876 along with the control interface so I could continue to use the existing Carrier remote...

I have two - one too many, if anyone is interested.

Great Idea!! This will also identify for sure that this is my problem before I spend hundreds of dollars for a new valve!  Thanks Mocotom.

Apologize for not closing out this post. My problem was the engine temperature sensor.  Once I changed it out, the engine has ran smoothly.  Thank you all! Also, the A/C is still warm, but I believe this is an issue with the water mixing valve which is about $250 to replace.  Since the weather...

I hope that I am not posting too early, but it appears that my problem was simply my old battery.  Want to thank the responders to my problem post.  Both alluded to the same solution, which I followed up and had the 5 year battery checked and changed. Unfortunately, I had to endure a lot of...

Thanks for both comments.  I agree the modern cars have integrated electronics to the point that make mechanics hard to diagnose, let alone fix.  Will have the battery load-tested today. 

Last year after buying our 2004 Damon Challenger, we bought a 2012 Equinox for a flat tow.  That year we towed the car for about 7500 miles on two separate trips.  We had absolutely no issues with the car connected or disconnected from the MH. A couple of weeks ago after a 7 month rest, we...

jeffz, sounds like you will need to drop the entire step frame by removing the four larger nuts (3/8?), if you can get to them.  GOOD LUCK!!

You CAN remove the motor without removing the gear assembly by removing the 3 thin steel bolts.  I have done this on my second go round.  However, since you are in the process of removing the motor and the gears, here is the way I removed them: Extend the steps and place a large screwdriver...

The Kwikee steps on our 2004 Damon MH stopped working in the extended position a few weeks ago during a time when I was working on another impairment.  I am not sure if the problems were related, and after I resolved the more serious issue, I removed the entire step motor assembly.  While...

Update!  Following a car repair lead from another website, I disconnected the chassis battery and removed 2 PCM fuses, 1 ECM fuse, and for good measure the AC compressor relay for about 1/2 an hour.  After re-configuring everything, the engine idled (and rev'd) smoothly and temperature gauge...

I welcome any friendly advice.  I have worked on several problems with our 2004 Damon Intruder 8.1L Vortec motorhome since April.  It all began when on the last leg of our last trip, I noticed that the TEMPERATURE gauge was swinging erratically.  I had had some overheating issues and had...

I had the same problem with Powergear levelers - along with several other frustrations.  Concerning this issue, I had filled the reservoir up to the weep oil per mfg directions, but then only after I topped off the ATF fluid was I able to stop the alarms.  These units are so full of potential...
