I replaced the starting battery 10 months ago. Both 6 year old original equipment house batteries I thought had gone dead. (strong sulfur smell & zero voltage with my volt meter) So I removed them for the core trade-ins and bought the 2 new deep cycle batteries yesterday. I have not had any...

I’m looking for assistance concerning something I noticed yesterday during my end of day running checks. While looking at the engine from the driver/street side I noticed the hose clamp broke from the post (#1 in the picture). I took the nut off of the bolt and removed the broken flange once...

I used my inverter to charge electronics today but shut it off as soon as it started beeping (indicating not enough power to supply 120v). Even after at least 6 more hours of sun on solar panels, batteries are almost dead (it was 98 deg today and two small fans were running). More importantly...

Hey all!! I’ll try not to make this too long- We recently got a new to us 2009 supernova 6400. These forums have been so helpful! We drove it from Texas to Maryland the last 2 months, and unfortunately had to use 2 tow trucks along the way- but found out it was the wiring plug to the ECM...

My coach has sat since the end of Oct, and the past month it's been below freezing a good amount of the time. I do keep my batteries on a maintenance charger when it's sitting. I went to start it today, waited for the light to go out on the dash and it turned over, tried to start but never...

I need some help and advice concerning the switches for both the engine heater and water heater (Elect). I do not think either are working at this time and haven't worked since I bought the rig 1.5 years ago. It is a 2016. Neither were my priority on the long list until now. The design of...

I just purchased the above RV. Leaving the area and driving at a slow rate of speed under 20mph everything runs fine. Once I hit the roadway the engine will start to accelerate and then just decelerate. I have to keep pumping the gas pedal and I can maintain a speed. When I contacted the...

Duplicating a post I left on IRV2, I know a lot of folks read both forums but maybe will catch someone new who can help. I'm probing the small hole in the rear of my engine hatch (pictured, sideways of course) with various size allen wrenches in hopes of catching the release. I've tried quite a...

Flushing the coolant today on my new-to-me 1994 Bluebird TC2000 RE. Been wondering about this thing... I think it is a circulating tank heater, but I'm just not sure. It is connected to the male electrical plug that typically indicates a block heater. It is also plumbed into the coolant...

Hi, I've been converting an 89 MCI 102c3, and just a few weeks ago it wouldn't start. Won't even try. The weird part is that I started it and moved it back and forth a week or so before. When I got the bus the ignition didn't work up front, so I start it using a button in the rear. Here's...

Our 2016 Adventurer 38Q is back in service after a major engine failure. Seems the ticking noise and other never before heard associated engine noises on a trip from Georgia to California and back were the sounds of the right-side valve train disintegrating on our Ford V-10 gas motorhome engine...
