 Beside myself and don't know what the problem could be. I keep replacing everything and it works fine for awhile and then the compressor stops working or the  head pressure relief valve had to be  twice replaced or the check valve three times replaced. no leaks , all new hoses and fittings and the latest compressor was a 1 hp replacing the 1/2 thinking it was underpowered...

Any ideas ?? Anyone have this many bugs in the air system like this ?

We were heading East in a couple of days , but now ??


AAARRRGGHHHHHHH

Over the last year I have conducted two tests that I felt would take at least a year to evaluate results. Hopefully the results will help others in the maintenance of their coach.

The first was I have not washed my coach with soap, water & a brush for over a year.  I have used microfiber cloths and Wash & Wax All exclusively.  I have not seen any degrading of the painted surface.  No scratching of any kind.  The positives I have found is washing the coach can be done in my shop in any weather.  I don't have to do the whole coach at one time and I no longer deal with water spotting.  I wax my coach once a year and have found that it polishes & waxes easier now than before.  This is not an advertisement for Wash & Wax All as I have received nothing from the company.  I chose it based on availability and price.  There are other products that may be similar and give similar results.

The second test was with some delamination of the basement skins.  I caught the delamination early on four different doors.  The delamination areas ranged from 3 inches to about 12 inches.  Each of the delamination areas started at the door frame corners.  I tested several products using scrap aluminum of similar qualities.  After testing I chose to use in a real life test two products.  The first was Loctite epoxy instant mix.  It is a clear epoxy that is mixed in a mixing tip as it is being dispensed.  I worked the epoxy behind the aluminum frame where it was delaminating and then clamped the skin to the frame.  After letting it dry I unclamped and all of the delaminated areas were now solidly attached.  I chose to reenforce the corners by adding a bead to the corners of the door frame.  After doing a couple of doors I felt the epoxy was not leaving the bead as I wanted as it tended to run.  I left it to see if it would stand up to use though.  I decided for putting a bead to reenforce the corners on the rest of the doors to use Sikaflex 252.  The Sikaflex was easier to apply in a larger bead that did not run like the epoxy.  After a full year I have not had a single door that I fixed begin delaminating again.  All frames have stayed tight with the frames.  Both the epoxy beads and the Sikaflex beads remain intact.  The epoxy beads are clear.  The Sikaflex 252 is black.  Again this is not an advertisement for Loctite epoxy instant mix or Sikaflex 252 as I received nothing from either company.  These products were chosen based on my testing of their bonding qualities, availability & price.

I have found a toggle switch, solenoid and green light in the HWH compartment under the driver.  Can someone identify what this is for?  It is located just inside the door on the front panel.  I tried to attach a photo but was unable to do so.

There was a country music concert scheduled for a place just outside of Fort Smith for not this weekend but next and was featuring Carrie under wood and about 25 lesser known bands.. It was cancelled when an investor pulled out. One of the bands is trying to pull off a replacement weekend no Carrie underwood but 20 other bands.. It's at Byrds outdoor adventure center. Great floating and atv riding right from the property.. Anyone interested let me know. I'm gonna help sponsor and will get any Gurus great parking.. Be a fun weekend..

the forum was hard down today from about 630am to 3pm AZ time.  1st time this has happened

it was a problem with the hosting company.  

to avoid that we changed hosting companies once more today and hopefully for the final time.  scott is doing all that he can to get us stable and fast.  

if i wanted to spend a lot of money this would have been easier, but we are on a small budget, so we have to look for small budget solutions.  

we look forward to your comments once again.  

sorry for the hassle and lets hope this time it stays fast and the forum stays accessible all the time.  

thanks

tom and scott

Noticed the past couple of times after the coach has been driven for a bit it doesn't 'like' to go into reverse. I can shift to neutral then drive back to neutral then reverse w/no change. However if once in drive if I'll shift on down to first then back up to neutral it will shift into reverse w/no hesitation.

The display always shows correct w/no oddities.

Planning on pulling the shifter off the trans, disassembling, cleaning & lube <?> and verifying all is well on that end. 

Any other input is certainly welcome.

BTW, working w/a HT-747 & Stone Bennett

Folks, Brenda and I are going to this park so we can go to Fossil Rim and a few other places with my son, daughter in law and 2 grandsons. This place has huge pull thrus, a 400,000 gallon swimming pool- more like a lake. 254-897-2321

We had checked out another park Tres Rios just further east, but their sites are all grass and the water table is high- which equals- you may get stuck.
I do not have a 4 wheel drive coach.

Gang,

I have been away from the coach for a few weeks.  Now that I am back a new problem has crept up.  My toilet is losing water in the bowl.  It operates properly other than losing water.  Today, I realized that the water that is being lost is leaking into the basement.

So...here are a few questions...

1)  I assume that the problem is somewhere associated with the hopper.  Is that a correct guess?
2)  The flapper seems to be in good shape, but the flapper *has* to have a problem or the water would not be able to get out of bowl...right?
3)  Has anyone removed their microphor?  Can you give me a general instruction about what to disconnect prior to removing the toilet.
4)  Is there anything that I can fix once I get the toilet up or do I need some sort of repair / rebuild kit?

I think that the consensus is that microphor toilets are pretty good performers.  Should I consider replacing it with anything else?  

Cheers,
bill
