    about to buy a '92 bounder 28', with a 454, 39k miles

    In 92 the Bounder was a middle line coach for Fleetwood, as you said. The Pace Arrow was top of the line, Southwind and Bounder were next. I have a 93 Pace with similar setup to yours. If you have any questions let me know. Woody

    Lazydays offers window defogging service

    I don't see anything in that letter that mentions vacuuming the air out of the assembly and replacing it with argon gas. Without doing this I doubt if the window unit will be heat/cold resistant. Woody

    Can't loosen rusty anode rod bolt in water heater

    WD-40 will not loosen rusted bolts. As UCJ said, get some PB Blaster and spray it around the edges of the rod. This is great stuff and will eventually loosen it. You may have to spray it a few times and let sit to finally get it loose. I have an elec. impact wrench I use on stubborn stuff but if...

    locks on bASEMENT 2007 FLEETWOOD TIOGA

    If Fleetwood is still using the same type of hinge on their basement doors it is a piano type hinge. With this type of hinge the door can slide sideways one way or the other just a little bit and not allow the lock mechanism to line up. The door will still close but not lock. The solution is to...

    Converter - exactly what does it do?

    A converter/charger such as contained in many older motorhomes converts AC to DC to power your DC lights when hooked up to shorepower and also charges to DC batteries. An Inverter which is installed in many newer motorhomes converts DC power to AC. Woody

    1991 Fleetwood Cambria 34 ft electric hookup

    If your coach is like my 93 Pace Arrow almost all of your inside lights are DC. If have a couple though that are AC. When hooked up to shorepower the DC lights are powered by your charger/converter which converts the shorepower AC to DC and also charges your two 6v "coach" batteries. If your AC...

    2000 Fleetwood Bounder Battery Hook up

    >>Which battery would I connect the generator leads?<< Normally on Fleetwood gas coaches the genset is connected to the two "house" batteries, which are normally two 6v. Woody

    1990 PACE ARROW

    I have a 36 foot 93 Pace Arrow but I do not live in it fulltime. This is really not a coach that is designed for fulltime living unless you are in a moderate climate. In hot climates it will be costly to cool and in cold ones costly to keep warm. It just doesn't have the insulation, double pane...

    tv won't come on when traveling 2008 tioga

    It's a safety feature built in so that the driver will not be distracted while traveling down the road. Your rear TV (if you have one) should work but then the passengers wouldn't be buckled up. Woody

    Where do you buy thick wire and big fuses

    Try an auto supply or farm supply store. Many small towns have one that will carry stuff like this for farm equipment. If you are in a larger city you might try an electrical supply store. Woody

    Is this SOP for all motorhomes?

    My 93 Pace has a switch on the dash that allows the radio to operate on the coach batts when parked without having to have the key in the ignition. Once set up in a campsite I always use the disconnect switch to disconnect the chassis battery. Woody

    Confused over electrical requirements.

    As Ned said, if you have 30A hookup you should have no problem running your AC and microwave at the same time. I run those two plus TV and DVD player all of the time when hooked up to 30A. Now, if I want to run BOTH AC's then I have to run the genset but one AC keeps my 36' coach plenty cool as...

    Lock / Safe Box ?

    The box is a Sentry but not sure of the model. Nothing on the top or inside. Maybe a plate on the bottom but it is bolted down. PM me with info on 1100-2100 if you want. Woody
