Replaced controller, motor and gear box. Everything worked great until I reconnected the house battery. The steps stay out and the door or switch do not work. When I disconnect the house battery the steps work fine on motor battery. I checked all connections and grounds appears ok. Frank  ... View more

I am curious as to how the 12 volt system works when plugged into shore power. Does the inverter keep the batteries charged, and directly power the 12 volt stuff on the motorhome, or do the batteries provide the power and the shore power keeps the batteries charged? Maybe this will be a clearer question than the one above: Is it necessary to have the house batteries hooked up to provide 12V power to the motorhome? Clear as mud? 🙂 ... View more

I recently purchased a 1972 Revcon 250 and have quickly realized how tough it's going to be to do a complete remodel of this rare beast. Currently I'm searching for new tires... the stock Revcon came with (5) 10-16.5 tires - including spare. For some odd reason the one I bought has two 9.5-16.5 and two 12.5-16.5 on the rear. I'm able to mount some 9.5-16.5 transforce's on three wheels, but the two rear wheels are wider and no tire is made to fit a 12.5-6.5 wheel. Any recommendations on the two rear wheels? Or does anyone know where I can possibly find two wheels that came with the stock 72 Revcon 250? (And some spare lug nuts, considering the rarity of those as well.) ... Everything/everybody leads me Marty Moore's in San Diego, but the phone number is no longer in service and I live too far to check it out myself. Thanks in advance! Have a great weekend. - Jacob ...

Tire Choices for Ford E-Series Cutaway Class C Motorhomes What replacement tires did you put on your Class C motorhome built on a Ford E-350 or E-450 (aka E-Superduty in older rigs) cutaway chassis, and what were your reasons for your tire selection? Did you stick with the stock tire size of LT225/75r16 ? Did you go taller and skinnier, changing to LT215/85r16 ? Did you go taller and wider, changing to LT235/85r16? Did you upgrade to 10 ply rating Load Range "E"? (If you have an older E-350 originally specified with 8 ply rated Load Range "D") Did you switch to European style 225/75r16C, such as what is specified for Euro van cutaways like the Transit and Sprinter? Have you had an experience with any particular brand and model of tire for your E-350/450 RV that caused you to swear "never again"? Do you have a particular brand and model of tire that is your trusted "go to"? Thank you! ... View more

Hello all! My wife and I have been 5ers for 32 years and sold our last unit two years ago when we moved to Florida.  Now we have decided to step up to a motorhome for the first time.  We got a great deal on a repo 2014 Coachmen Pursuit 31BD with less than 6,000 miles.  Since my wife is now retired we plan to use it quite a bit to travel the country to see all the places she wanted to visit but was unable to because of work.  Although new to the motorhome group I have lots of experience with 5th wheels and hopefully will be able to help those in need.  I am a DIYer and did a lot of work on my units over the years.  Glad to be aboard!

We have replaced all calipers, flexible hoses, master cylinder, and power assist booster on our 1985 Class A P30 Chevy chassis motorhome. After traveling 2 to 3 miles, the travel on the brake pedal becomes less and less, until there is no travel left and the brakes are seized up. I am at a lose for the cause of this, as everything is now new. Any suggestions as to what could be causing the brakes to seize?? ... View more

2019 Thor Class C.  We have two batteries. After three days the indicator showed only one light. 1/3 full.  I tried to start the generator and everything went dark. The generator wouldn’t even crank. I guess there was not enough juice left to start it but now all the 12 V is dead.  I ran the engine for a half an hour but nothing has changed. All the indicator lights are dark even the tank levels and lpg level.  ... View more
