    I am trying to find an RV park on the beach in Mississippi or Alabama. Are there any? Thanks, Will Walker

    Some '95 models had OBD2 diagnostic ports. Does yours? If so, a diagnosis using an OBD2 scanner would help you find the problem. If it does not, and you have changed the TPS sensor, you should check the throttle linkage and see if there is an obstruction. The housing through which the throttle...

    Using Cruise Control

    Thanks for all the replies. I am learning a lot. My rig is a 97 Fleetwood Pace Arrow with a Ford f53 chassis. The engine is a 460. Any other thoughts appreciated. Will

    Using Cruise Control

    I am curious to know how many out there use cruise control regularly. I find, on my rig, that if I use the cruise, it down-shifts on almost every hill. That seems to be a negative as far as gas mileage goes. However, on my trip last week, I tried to use it only on flat straight-a-ways and did...

    94 Pace Arrow M37J F450 FI (no fuel to engine)

    You are right, Dyland. I should have said "crank it for about one second". That should let you know if it is pumping at all. Will

    94 Pace Arrow M37J F450 FI (no fuel to engine)

    You can check your pump by removing the filter and turning on the ignition key for about one second. Fuel should spray out of the fuel line if the pump is working. The fuel pump is electric and pumps when the key is on. Do this while you are changing the filter and you will know for sure where...

    Gas Mileage Help

    Scottydl, My right side exhaust manifold was leaking badly. Checked it and found the rear bolt was gone completely. I began removing the rest of the bolts with an impact wrench. They all came out fine except the other bolt on the rear cylinder. It broke off at the head. I had to drill it out...

    94 Pace Arrow M37J F450 FI (no fuel to engine)

    First, check the fuel filter. It should be an in-line filter attached to the frame about mid way under the vehicle. It is easy to remove and check with the proper tool. You can get one at most auto parts stores. If that is not it, it is probably the fuel pump. They are notorious for going out on...

    Gas Mileage Help

    I did run my generator the whole time with the cabin front air running. I read on another thread that the dash air caused more strain on the engine, thus, causing more gas use than the generator. My dash unit works fine, but I was taking the advise of others on this website on this trip. Any...

    Gas Mileage Help

    Just got back from a few days at a state park in north Louisiana. Had a great time. Everything worked great. My 97 Pace Arrow (37 ft.) 460 Ford runs like new. Very quiet after I re-worked the exhaust manifold. One problem: Gas mileage! I got about 5MPG. No toad. Drove 55-65 all the way. Any...

    94 national, F53, Ford Chassis over heating.

    If the fan clutch is OK, have the A/C system checked. An over-charged system will cause the compressor to drag, causing the engine to overheat. Will

    Converting 30 amp system to 50 amp

    JOHN, I'm confused. I do have an EMS and I do have a generator. Mine is a 30 amp rig. One breaker breaks the rear A/C and is labeled EMS. It is a 20 amp breaker. Will

    Converting 30 amp system to 50 amp

    Lou, I have tried to figure out how to "bring" the rear unit to a utility bay. I don't know where to break the circuit and tie in the new cord. Do I go into the ceiling a/c unit and try to tie in there and drop the cord through the ceiling and wall down to the bay, or is there a simpler way? Any...

    Converting 30 amp system to 50 amp

    Thanks, Lou and John, I understand about bringing one A/C unit to a bay I will do that. I know that will work for shore power, but what about with generator power? Should I change the 20 amp reaker to a 30 amp? Will the 5000 Onan carry both units? Thanks, again, Will Walker
