New (to us) DP Questions.

Thanks everyone. A few of you responded that the oil fill cap should be yellow. Yup, it should be. But, it isn’t. Hence the confusion. It’s always been serviced at Colton Truck Terminal Garage. So I may take it to them and have them do the next service; but only if they’ll let me watch.

I have a cousin in the auto sound/electronic biz and he can get me Interstate golf cart batteries for about $100 a piece. I’ll probably do that, even though 12v deep cycles are half that cost.

I'm gonna kick the jack issue down the road a bit for now.

First, stay away from Colton Truck Terminal. I'm not saying they took my transmission dip stick, but when our coach was new (2008 Dyansty), I took our coach to them for service. I know in my mind that I remember pulling out the oil and transmission dip sticks.... later on, I went to check them again and no blade on the transmission dip stick, just the top. I thought it might have fallen in but it couldn't be seen.

They also could not fix my dash air after three tries but charged me everytime for their lack of knowledge. I also got a bad alignment from them that I found after 2,000 miles (all in one cross country trip) and I noticed it in Nashville that my tires were severely wearing on both of the front inside treads. I took it to TAFA (Tire/Axle/Frame/Alignment) and they gave me the best alignment the coach ever had. They also found the front needed a shim to make it perfect.

Colton knows how to change the oil/filters on Trucks and RV's. They did not know how to replace a slide hydraulic hose and said they would have to call someone else in to look at it.

Take your coach a little further down the street to Redlands Truck and RV Performance shop in Redlands, CA. They have given me 110% excellent service and fixed my dash air on the first try. It has worked for over 2 yrs. since they fixed it (ice cold). They also know how to fix everything RV. Excellent service.

Safe travels,
MM.
