I stumbled across this American / Foreign switch today in the aft right engine cabinet (Pic attached). What does this do? The switch was in the position with button push in on Foreign side. Is that correct?

We are going to remove the carpet and install a new flooring system. So I reviewed the threads related to flooring and found several old postings. Was wondering if there were any experience with the newer flooring systems. We are contemplating the installation of a interlocking vinyl plank system. The planks are 9" x 72" x 8.3mm. It is floating/glueless with a cork underlayment.
How will this system work with the slides?
Is a floating system a good idea for the coach? Should we use a glued system?

Also we are wanting to remodel the entry stairs. They are currently spiral. We want to make them full width and a straight entry into the coach. I have looked under the stair well and it looks like there should be no issues with the remodel. Has anyone transformed the spiral stairs into a straight entry?

Took the coach out for a quick trip this week and 10 min into the drive the yellow check engine light came on. All the gauges read normal and we were only driving about 50 miles, so I just kept an eye on things. 
When I started up the next day, the yellow light stayed on.  But then as we drove slowly to the park exit, I didn't notice the red light had also came on until after the engine shut down as we were stopping at a stop sign. I used the override switch to startup and move to a safe location. While moving the yellow light came on/off then both yellow and red came on but after we stopped both light turned off. So after sitting there idling for a bit with both lights off, I figured we continue driving. Well we got about a mile and both yellow and red came back on so I pulled off the road on to the shoulder. 
What I did was disconnect a plug and one of the wire harness' plugged into the DDEC, turn the ignition key on/off, then reconnected both to the DDEC. Why I thought about doing that, I don't know, but by coincidence or other, it did allow us to get home with just the yellow light on.
Any ideas?

How do you all air your tires when traveling? Is there a way to use the coach air? Or do you carry a portable air compressor to air tires and use as backup to open the door etc if main compressor fails?

How big of a compressor do you need to air the tires to 120 psi?

Saw this at a freeway QT today. Clever way to get your packages delivered along you planned route. Print a barcode and it is scanned, releasing the correct door for retrieval.

A few years ago my thermostats bit the dust and I installed new ones acquired from Newell.  I admit that their schematic left a lot to be desired.  I have been curious for some time that my rear A/C system does nothing when set to low fan.  However it seems to cool fine when set to high fan (two compressors).  I finally got around to checking the amps going to all four A/C capacitors.  All four have 124 volts available to the control board, but the incoming amps for the rear number one compressor only draws 8 amps while all of the other three draw about 11 amps.  The draw going from the control board to the number one capacitor is only 4 amps while all of the other draw about 10 amps.  I am embarking on the installation of high capacity relays, and want to be sure everything is operating OK.  Any suggestions as to what might be wrong would be welcome.

Has anyone ever had work done on their fuel tank sending unit? I just bought this rig and the tank was full when I bought it (thanks, Jerry). At that time the gauge registered about 7/8's. Drove it about 350 miles home and it read 1/4. Running the engine the other day, the needle was barely off empty. No big puddles of diesel under the coach, so I'm assuming the sending unit is faulty. Does it use a float or some other form of measurement? And, as an aside, there is a small black knob in the upper left corner of the tank. Can anyone tell me what it is before I find out that it's the tank dump valve? I don't have a picture yet, but I can get one.

I have a full propane tank.  Detected a very slight leak at the main Rego style valve.  It seems to be the valve stem packing.  Has anyone changed the stem packing without releasing the contents of the tank.  It would seem that by removing the stem handle "wheel", and removing the packing nut with the valve shut off, one might be able to replace the packing.  Not sure if this is possible, or where to get new packing.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Rooster

When I bought this coach, the PO said it had no safe, which I thought unusual but took him at his word.  Then today, I was looking at the original plan and noticed there was a safe designated, at least in the plans, under the entry step.  
When I replaced the carpet under the step cover, I remember there is a safe sized steel box in that area, but I didn't notice any openings, then again, I wasn't looking for one either. 
So, if there is a safe there, was that a standard location for classic Newell safe's, and/or can anyone tell me where the access point is?
