For the past couple years I've had a small oil leak leaving oil on the driver side of the engine near the bell housing. After several clean and observe attempts showing nothing I resorted to flourescent dye. Whoa nellie, my Fumoto oil drain valve glowed bright. I had thought the oil on it had ds ended from above. Wrong. The oil above had ascended from below and gone sideways no less. That two stroke oil is tricky stuff. Oh wait, I'm using synthetic 4 stroke oil. Maybe that is why it got sideways.
Lesson learned: oil doesn't alway flow down hill, sometimes it gets suckered up.
May your engine stay clean and dry.
[attachment=4902][attachment=4902] I am new to Rv's and have basically narrowed it down to Bluebird or Newell Want to buy used as i am not wealthy. But i need to be able to move my home for now as I have to go and find work elsewhere. I am currently on East Coast, but hate it i prefer rockies and west. So i dont know if i have the right idea but think for now i need to be able to go where the work is so to speak.
My 1988 Coach, #174, seems to take a long time to air up to travel height. How long should this typically take from dump mode? Thanks Peter
Added these today. Looks better than I thought. They change color too..
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.
- Loosen top plug
- 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.
- Remove filter ring & remove filter glass. DO NOT remove the filter yet.
- 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.
- Now remove filter & dispose. Make sure bottom rubber grommet came off with the filter. If not remove from Davco.
- Install new filter
- Install new o rings on glass ring & top plug.
- Clean & replace glass cover. HAND TIGHT only on the glass ring.
- Fill fuel through top opening until the filter is totally covered.
- Replace top plug & tighten, hand tight.
- Start engine and run on high idle for 2-3 minutes.
- Take off high idle, but keep engine idling on low.
- 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.
- 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!
