My brother-in-law has worked on lots of generators before and I would like to help him remove the generator and replace the exhaust ‘rope’ that keeps the smell out of the coach (hopefully that’s all it is).  We were going to rent a portable engine hoist - what all is involved in this procedure please?  I don’t see anything like this on the forums after doing a search (but it never works for me)…

Anyone know what this thing is called? It’s below the starter. I think it must have come loose and fell out…

I noticed my coach was leaning right (not in a conservative way) … I went through a bunch of threads and found Richard’s most useful information and a list of questions.  I have included the questions and my answers below.  
Can someone please point me to a thread that shows how to adjust the FRONT ride height? 

With the engine running, and the coach in travel mode: 
Does the coach come to the proper ride height? No, rear both 12” front: 14” (need to come
What pressure do you read on the pressure gauges at the front? 100 on Supply; 115 on Brake
If the coach does not come to the proper ride height please describe what it does. 

• The front is too high in the front on both sides (14”) 
  

i helped a fellow guru today on the phone and i thought i would share this.

he called me and said that he had lost power for one of his 3 air conditioners (it is a 80's classic with roof airs)  and several plugs and things were dead.  

all of us have power meters for both legs of the power (voltage and amperage).  when this happens you just need to look at those and see if you have voltage of 120v on each leg. 

if not....it is most likely a power at the pedestal problem.  or in his case it could have been one of the contactors in his manual transfer switch.   

it ended up being a transformer at the park was losing power on one leg.  

if you are handy and experienced with a volt meter just check the power at the pedestal.  or get one of the 50a units that plug into the pedestal and then your cord plugs into it and it will tell you if your incoming power is ok.

Any Gurus in or very close to Mesa Arizona?

I am bidding on a bunch of miscellaneous stuff from a Starman Bros auction. Nothing very large.

Two part Question:

Is anyone Near there and can pick up, maybe ship for me?

Or, if you are coming to the No Rally, Rally at the end of the month/first week of October could bring it there?

Just putting out some feelers. I trust you all far more than the auction and shipping folks!

Thanks!

Good morning gurus!
After lots of looking I found a nice 2002 coach to purchase.  I’m running into a minor problem I’m hoping the vast knowledge on this forum migh be able to answer.  The seller has the coach in an approved Newell facility in Michigan to take care of a few things.  The two most serious are drivers side salon slide seal replacement and what was initially a burning oil smell that turned into something more serious.  It turns out a tag brake hung up and over heated everything to the tune of having to replace all seals, bearings, caliper, pads, rotor, and plastic site glass.  The problem I’m running into is trying to get the repair facility to let us know how long it takes to get the parts. I’m trying to book airfare, which seems to go up exponentially every day and all we need is a call from them telling us whether they will have the parts before the end of the month when I plan to fly there.  They said normally, they can have the parts in a few days, but occasionally they will be back ordered for weeks. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to impress upon them how great it would be if they could just make a phone call and let me know.  Does anybody know if these parts are rare or hard to obtain? Ig the answer is no, I will take a chance and book airfare. FYI, they have the slide seal parts from Newell. 
   

I know there are very few coaches here that have propane. I love having it due to the way we use our coach. Silent. We do not have to run the generator in the winter for heat and the solar system keeps the electrical loads more than adequate to run everything we desire. I had a company come over on Saturday and had them replace the main valve on the tank. The original would leak slightly when opening or closing it. New valve in and all is good. Today I drove to the filling station about 40 min round trip to put in 50 gallons of propane. It should last quite a while for our two heaters and one dual burner gas cooktop. The location of this place is in a weird area next to a landfill, concrete plant and truck repair. I had to navigate some odd dirt roads to find it. Felt like I was in another country yet within the city if that makes sense. About $700 total for repairs and fuel.

I am having a mobile wash company come and clean the coach today. It's dirty from the typical Arizona dust storms that get topped off with just a slight sprinkle of rain to set it in.

We sold our house and will be moving stuff to a storage facility in MO. One of the big headaches is dealing with the motorcycle and this compact trailer I do not want to sell. The trailer is made of heavy steel which originally was used for a DitchWitch trencher. It can easily handle a pallet of pavers with its load H tires. I added a motorcycle chock to support my little Duke. We will be headed to the Newell Rally in Michigan this week with a stop in MO. I can't find any definitive laws other than the states we plan on traveling through DO allow double towing but we will be around 76' in length. Has anyone done this and have experience to share? Coach will tow Jeep and the Jeep will tow the trailer with bike on it. I took the assembly out on a test run yesterday to see how the weight balance worked out in various conditions.

Google Maps has a "layer" for "Air Quality". Just as an example, I've chosen to show current air quality for the Pacific Northwest because of all the wildfires.
   

I’m looking at possibly getting a 48v 15kw DIY battery bank and want to know if I can start off charging it with my old Freedom 2500 charger/inverter or would I need to upgrade? I would use the 24kw genset to charge it up … I have watched a couple videos so I’m now an expert! lol
