We traveled up and down the Atlantic coast and to Miami, OK over the last 6 years and intended to travel 9 or so months each year. We just bought a lake house instead.

In a pickle.   I retracted the front slide today and this plate pushed out from under the slide.  Currently in Alaska and unable to move until we figure this out.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  We are in Soldotna, Alaska.

So I just finally got around to replacing my hydraulic pump on coach 490. This pump is a venerable Vickers V20, the chevy small block of hydraulic pumps. It started leaking and leaving a spray of hydraulic fluid in the engine bay. I tried replacing an internal o-ring in it and it did not change anything. I am also getting some whining when the fan comes on along with some groaning and moaning from the steering box. Not sure if either of those will be cured with the replacement of the pump but it needed to be replaced anyways. I am going to tear down the old pump and see what it looks like. I am guessing its going to be worn, especially since it appeared that the hydraulic filter had never been changed, or it had been a long time since it was changed. 

Here is the pump, its a Vickers V20 #V201P11S38C11L:
   

Here is the hydraulic filter that fits mine Wix #51756:
   


Here is my video of the project:

Hi I have Coach 554 and am going to leave it at a local business for placing a paint protection film (PPF) on the front of the coach. 
The coach is normally stored indoors on 30 amp electrical power.
I will not have power available at this business and my coach will be there for 3-4 days sitting in their parking lot. Will I have any problems with my batteries over that time frame?

I am having a heck of a time finding a replacement for the Trans relay. It’s stamped with 150-65 150-905 12V date code is 8914. Pins 1-> 2 reads 0.02 ohms, and when it was plugged in, all spades were reading 13.4v to ground. Any idea on where to find a cross where I don’t have to rewire/remap the circuit?

I’m about to pull one of the “non-essential “ relays to get to town to dump and get propane.

Hi all. Fluid level checked and at the correct level, no discoloration and or burnt smell. Ihave not found a manual specific to this particular transmission. I di find SM1317EN. Nothing there about upshift failure. Is this controlled by mechanical linkage from the injection rack? Or another means.
What are general upshift blocking issues on this transmission? Rhank you All.
