hello all, upon our return trip home from the south last week, we discovered that we did not have any dash heat in our 2003 adventurer 35, although the coach heater worked fine, there was only very cold air blowing out of the dash vents no matter what we did with the controls, it was like the...

Hello all, thank's for the suggestions! as an update, we wound up trying to reserve a spot at the county cg mentioned above, but,as expected, they were full, so we decided to take a chance and drove to Titusville anyway,in the hopes of finding anyplace to just park until the scheduled launch at...

thank's, We have to be out of this cg by 11am and will get to the canaveral area early ,about 4pm,and will have to kill some time until the 3am launch, didn't know if there was somewhere we could park that long!

Hello all!  We will be travelling from ft myers to ny in our 35 ' adventurer and were wondering if it is possible to pull over and park for a night to catch an early morning (3am) launch from canaveral somewhere along the way and then continue on up the coast to I95? any area that we could...

hello all, thank's for the responses, after much research, I found that the valve that I was on the rv was an "old style" valve which is why it was so difficult to find! The Winnebago diagrams have a "new style" valve listed, I found a replacement and have it on order. It is this one, Victory...

just another update! The new coolant control valve arrived today and although it looks just like the old valve, it is about half the size, it looks like it would work because the inlet, outlet and flapper valve are the same size as the old one. the metal dome canister containing the vacuum...

update, I carefully removed both hoses from the heater core (they were stuck pretty good and i was afraid of damaging the tubes),reverse flushed the core and it looked pretty clean. While i had the hoses off i took the coolant control valve off and found out that it was not opening all the way...

would these work on a 2003? i didn't realize that so much info could be monitored through the obdii port?

just for an update, I found the petcock but it was made out of nylon and little chewed up, I tried using a quarter inch socket extension but was afraid of damaging it further. I was going to take off the bottom radiator hose to drain it, but the screw was facing upwards and nearly impossible to...

thanks for the responses, we bought this unit a couple of months ago and i have been finding a lot of things that the previous owner had failed to mention, I have fixed quite a few of them after a short (500 mile) trip that we took last month. I noticed that the heater temp was blowing luke...

Hello all! I am about to replace the coolant thermostat (i think it is stuck open) in our 2003 winnebago adventurer 35, 8.1 vortec and was wondering if anyone that has done this before has any tips or suggestions that i could use to make the job easier? thanks for any help! dennis

thank's

hello all, we are brand new to rv'n and preparing for our first trip south. I was hoping to find a small toad and tow bar set up but am running out of time as winter is approaching rapidly here in the NEast, so am considering buying a tow dolly and was wondering if  I will be ok towing my 2010...

Thank's for all of the great suggestions! It is good to know that there are a multitude of options, we were starting to panic and wonder if we didn't "bite off more than we could chew" by buying an rv! We really appreciate the help! dennis

Thank's for the quick responses and ideas, they are very helpful!
