- Rich_PanganibanExplorerDidn't really do anything to the coach, but did contact Norcold to get a new refrigerator door. Our only casualty on our trip (21 days, 4000+ miles), was a broken hinge on the refrigerator door. Of course, you can't just replace the hinge...you have to replace the door! Gotta love the RV industry.
- Jtroop1ExplorerPut the new seal in the Dometic Sealand toilet. Pretty simple and it is holding water in the bowl now.

That engine is a mechanical pump engine. Chips are for electronic engine control systems. Turn the fuel screw in in the pump is more fuel turn the screw out is less fuel. It is not a Powerstroke.
Direct from the Ford 7.3 engine manual that came with the RV:....is electronically controlled by the fuel pump PCM relay....the glow plug system and fuel injection system are controlled through the powertrain control module (PCM) - Rich_PanganibanExplorerSpent a couple of hours today unloading the coach and cleaning the inside. We just got back home form our three week adventure to the Northwest. What a great trip. A lifetime of memories and experiences for my wife and I, and our three kids.
- HandbasketExplorerIn the past month, I've built a carrier for 2 group 27's and hung it under the frame behind the rear axle similar to the newer CX's, wired it, and got rid of the Optima & box under the couch. Then I washed and waxed the whole dam' thing... did the last three wheels last night at twilight. Real glad it's only a 19 footer! Next it'll get some variety of intelligent charger to replace the little crummy battery boiler that's in there now. Ah, the joys of RV ownership ;)!
I also managed to find a little AA-powered desktop 'meditation' fountain. I modified it so my picky travel cat can have running water to drink from in the RV.
Jim, "Don't question authority. It hasn't got a clue, either." - tbossExplorerberticus..lookin at the pic of your rig in your sig. It looks like its sitting kinda low in the aft end or it just my imagination,,do you have air bags under the aft end...
- BerticusExplorerfilled up the water, check fluids of the truck part and getting ready for our 10day trip.
- Rich_PanganibanExplorerDumped the tanks this morning, checked the tire pressure, checked the oil level and cleaned the windshield for our final 450 miles of a 3000 mile trip! Almost home!!!
- amseguraExplorerDid full tune up on Generator. Replaced Air Filter and Breather Filter which looked like it never had been done. My buddy who helps me with all my mechanical stuff said that was the worst air filter that he has ever seen. I don't think the previous owner was on top of his maintenance. Next big job will be replacing the brake pads.
- rondebExplorerPicked up RV from Cummins Co. Had the generator fuel/air filter changed. Had it serviced and load tested.
Tomorrow it gets a new kitchen faucet and water purifier installed at the Kitchen sink.
Tomorrow it also gets an outlet and cables installed to be able to connect the Direct TV dish to the outside of the RV into the RV to the Direct TV box.
All to get ready to leave in about 3 weeks for a 2 month trip.
