I think this question has been asked and answered but I cannot find it.

Has anyone replaced their motorized window blinds?  Newell wants north of 1K per window to do these, and I know this is an easy DIY if we can find good vendor.

Not only are my motors getting tired, but the fabric has been stained and has some holes from previous owners.  I keep looking at my old shades and cant help but think I need new ones.

So...Does anyone have a good source for the motorized shades?

Mine has a leak and am replacing it. It looks like there are 2 lines going to the inside of the valve. I assume one is from the 110compressor and one is from the engine compressor?

Gang,

I have been thinking lately about the quality of the drinking water in our coaches.  I posted a thread a while ago about finding a fault in my coach where the "filtered" water really went to my dishwasher and my water dispenser at the sink was really just water out of the tank.  I swapped the lines and now am confident that the water coming out the dispenser is actually filtered.  However, I am still scared of that water and won't drink it....nor will I give it to the dog.  

So...I have three questions:

1)  Do you drink the water in your coach?  
2)  Have you ever tested the water for bacteria?  If so, how do you do that?  (I asked my vet and she got a very blank expression and said hmmmm thats a good question)
3)  Does anyone have a UV sanitizer installed on their coach?  

I guess if you plug into the city water and run the water for a while, you are just drinking whatever the city gives you but I rarely ever use city water directly.  I normally fill up the tank and use the pump.

My biggest concern is not minerals or heavy metals as I would think the filter would get those.  I am primarily concerned with biologics i.e. coliform.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Cheers,
bill

I was asked to describe the process for changing the fuel filter on our Davco fuel processors.

1. Loosen top plug
   
2. Drain the filter glass down to at least 1" BELOW the ring.  This is so when you remove the ring & filter glass there will be no spillage. 
   
3. Remove filter ring & remove filter glass.  DO NOT remove the filter yet.
   
4. Drain the diesel down to the bottom level of the Davco where the filter sits.  If you don't you will overflow as fuel will drain from the filter when you remove it.
   
5. Now remove filter & dispose.  Make sure bottom rubber grommet came off with the filter.  If not remove from Davco.
   
6. Install new filter
   
7. Install new o rings on glass ring & top plug.
   
8. Clean & replace glass cover.  HAND TIGHT only on the glass ring.
   
9. Fill fuel through top opening until the filter is totally covered.
   
10. Replace top plug & tighten, hand tight.
    
11. Start engine and run on high idle for 2-3 minutes.
    
12. Take off high idle, but keep engine idling on low.
    
13. Slowly open top plug until fuel level begins dropping.  Allow fuel to drop to about 1/2" above glass ring.  Tighten top plug--Hand tight only.
    
14. You are done!
    

Where is it located on a Series 60 coach? I've seen mention of its location for 8V92 but not S60.

Thanks!

Hello all? Looking for a little electrical help if possible. Here's my story:

 There are four indicator lights that are all lit when plugged into 50 amp shoreline power. These lights are located above the drivers area. See pictures. One of these four lights was flickering on and off and then completely burned out. So as I was replacing it, like an idiot I did not cut the power to the coach. I disconnected the wires leading to the faulty indicator light fixture and as I was stripping said wires back to attach them to the new indicator lamp, I accidentally touched them both together with the wire stripper tool. There was a little spark and now only one of my indicator lights work, see picture. Also after this little flub, my leg-two voltage gauge does not work. I'm sure I have proper voltage, as my surge protector/EMS indicates that I do, and all electrical systems are working properly.  I replaced all four indicator lights with new ones, thinking that they were burned out and somehow linked to the voltage gauge above. But this has not fixed it. I've also checked the two fuses on the transfer switch box and those are both good. 

I'm not great with the written word, but I hope I expressed  my situation  well enough for y'all to understand and possibly give some advice. Thank you much and advance!

We left 7/28 and got home last night. 1740 miles 80 hours on the generator. We averaged 6 mpg and the oil level is still well above the fill mark on the ol' 8v-92. No major mechanical problems!!! (I always feel that is an accomplishment). As I mentioned in another post we blew a tire on the trailer about 2 hours from home. There are no weather checks etc on the tires so I am thinking that tire was damaged by road debris. We pulled into Best One tire in Lima, Ohio (the commercial shop)on a Saturday morning and received great service at a reasonable price.
I noticed the Kitchen A/C was making noise at the outside condenser once we set up camp at Ocean Lakes Family Camp at Myrtle Beach ,SC. As I was checking it out the noise stopped and the condenser got hot so I shut it down. I'm hoping it is just  fan motor. I think that is the one we put a new compressor in last summer.
Other than the cruise control missing occasionally the trip was problem free.
The kids and grand-kids all had a good time. Hopefully they made some great lifetime memories.

I'm curious - how much tolerance does everyone have for tire pressure?

IE if you're shooting for 115, how much below that does it have to be to make you drag the hose out?

And then - do you overshoot the pressure a bit to give you a little headroom for possibly not having to top off the next day (assuming consecutive travel days)?
