Just picked up 1995 coach out of Missouri. First time Class A for us. Met up with Glen Edwards in Miami, who gave us extensive driving lessons. Start our journey home to Colorado tomorrow. We’ll be spending 8+ months a year on the road. Love the solid construction for an almost 30yo coach.

My Kohler 12.5 with the Perkins engine has a mysterious gremlin. I started it the other day going down the highway. All was well. Later in the day I reached up and held down the switch to shut it down. It continued to run. When we stopped for the day i turned of the coach engine and tried to shut off the generator again. It shut down normally. Any ideas? How does this circuit work? Or rather how is it supposed to work?

My rear engine start switch does not seem to do anything when I turn it. (Dead silence) This is regardless if the toggle switch next to it is up or down. Where should I look to troubleshoot this thing? Engine starts normally from cockpit.

Does anyone have suggestions for a Big Rig rv park app?  We don’t need 5 star accommodations but would like to know places we can fit into along our trip. An app would be nice because I’m not necessarily a “plan ahead” kind of guy.

On our way out of Florida, I spotted a mid century (square tail lights) burgundy and gold parked in a spot on the west side of I 75. 

Rhonda said we didn’t have time to turn around and scope it out.

Hey everyone, 2004 Newell coach quad slide. 
My coach primarily runs off 12v water pump and i always keep the 12v air compressor on as she has a couple of air leaks. 

Both have strangely stopped working at the same time which is a bit of an issue as now i have no water! Is there a 12v fuse panel located any where in the belly lockers? I have looked absolutely all over (even crawled in) Cannot seem to locate it. 

Found a panel in the rear bathroom wardrobes with 110 and 12v fuses but none seem related to 12v pumps.

All lights inside the coach work as normal, seems odd as ive had no issues running for the last 3 years (since ive owned) using regularly.

Only thing ive done recently is try and get the 110v air compressor working as the previous owner disconnected it and set up a silent auxiliary compressor, wondering if playing with these wires have tripped something.

Some advice would be very much appreciated!

Has anyone installed an oil transfer/scavenge  pump? My father had one on his boat, which made doing oil changes extremely easy. If anyone has or has done this, what make and model did you get? I'm looking for something that can be permanently installed.

Sub-Zero 700TCI-3 Icemaker quit on our last trip.  I did a small amount of troubleshooting & I thought the icemaker itself was the problem, we bought a bag of ice and all was OK.  Six days later the refrigerator quit working but the freezer was OK.  A couple of hours after that the display went dim.  I ordered a 4204380 control board from WCP Distributing which cured all symptoms.

FWIW, the parts ordering process;  The local Sub-Zero repair shop had zero stock but would order one for about $200 over sticker price with a delivery in about a month.  WCP Distributing is the West coast supplier, they also had zero stock.  The Sub-Zero/Wolf/Cove website has a search engine for service and parts locator.  I put in a Midwest zip code and came up with Midwest Parts Distributing.  I called Midwest, they had the part but Sub-Zero licensing allows sales only in their region.  I called WCP who then after checking with Midwest took the order and had Midwest drop ship directly to me.

Here is a nice read about an old Travco. I linked it more for the concept that many of the gurus espouse. That being warranty by the owner, and the more you can fix, the happier you will be.
