- rolnhomeExplorerYour maybe 5+yrs out of warranty. I'd be careful with the awning you have. Too bad it was noticed sooner. Rain is the big problem because it will not dump. Good luck.
- rag-ftwExploreriJust had a long discussion with Fleetwood about customer service and completing warranty claims. I was informed the approach being taken by the new Fleetwood is to not honor any warranty claims on coaches built prior to 17 April 2009, which was the acquisition date of Fleetwood by American Industrial Partners.
What made me call Fleetwood customer service(?) was my discovery that the awning on my 2005 37C Pace Arrow was a model 815 and not the required model 845. This problem was discusssed years ago in this forum and your discussions are what prompted me to call Fleetwood to see if they would correct their error.
Anyone have any suggestions, other than buying an $849.00 replacement awning from Dometic?
rag - LobstahExplorerrag,
Thanks for the pointer. I had to move one large bundled harness plus the black plastic duct work to find it, but mine is in the same location, and there was a blank spade connection visible. I poked around a bit and found the culprit, reconnected, everything works now, including my bedroom slide.
Thanks for the help.rag-ftw wrote:

Hey...does anyone know the location of the parking brake sensor switch? It's part of the interlock system for both my Atwood Levellegs AND my bedroom slide. I spent about an hour under the dash, and I just couldn't see it amongst the 471 wires that are up under there :)

Jim,
Mine is located on the right side of the pedal close to the top. It is a small white switch with a single blue wire and an adjustment screw. - rag-ftwExplorerPat,
Here is the post you requested from Jim. Posted: 10/11/10 05:11pm
Suggest you do a search on Atwood Levellegs for additional info.

Thanks rag!...I looked as best I could, but there are a LOT of harnesses under there, and I just couldn't see it or find it with my hands.
I also made a fairly lengthy post regarding our Atwood Levellegs systems on the Atwood thread that you might want to check out. I ended up having to unbolt my left rear from the frame in order to be able to drive home.

Jim, help me on finding that post on the Atwood Levelleggs you mentioned.

Jim - bricotExplorerhmmm ...insulated shop sounds easier. Brings up another interesting question: So when you are sanitizing your water lines do you make some bleach ice cubes to make sure you are getting bleach through those lines as well?
- rag-ftwExplorerHere is what Dometic says about winterizing ice makers
1. Shut off water supply valve to ice maker
2. Place a shallow pan under water solenoid valve
3. Remove inlet fitting to ice maker water solenoid valve & drain water from the supply line
4. Remove the plastic nut and water line from outlet side of water solenoid valve and drain water from the line. (DO NOT lose metal insert from plastic water line)
5. Connect compressed air onto the inlet fitting of the water solenoid valve. Apply AC power to the solenoid valve by forcing the ice maker mold assembly through several harvest cycles. Remove the plastic cover from the mold assembly. The bail arm must be in the down ("ON") positon. Start the harvest cycle with a flat blade scredriver inserted into the center of the small gear. Turn the gear countercloskwise. When the hold switch closes, the mold assembly will continue to opeate through the harvest cycle. During the water fill sequence of the harvest cycle the compressed air will blow out the water trapped in the solenoid valve. Repeat the harvest cycle operation several times.
NOTE: Up to 20 psig air pressure can be used to clear the valve. Damage to solenoidf can occur if AC power is applied for more thn 20 seconds.
6. Reconnect and tighten lines on water solenoid valve. Metal insert MUST be installed in plastic water line going to outlet side of water solenoid.
7. Dry out ice maker mold assembly with soft cloth. Place bail arm in the "UP/OFF" position
After reading these instruction I think I will just go to South Texas for the winter. It's easier! :D
