Forest River Georgetown XL 377
I really like the floor plan of this unit. Looking for information from owners concerning floor, mileage, storage and overall experience. We currently have a Class C Minnie Winnie with a full slide but may go full time in the future and with 3 dogs I would like more space. Thanks for your replies.1.8KViews0likes3CommentsRe: Ford V10 wont start
I had a no start issue on my 2000 e450 v10 from sitting for several months. Checked fuses but was not able to find the relay reset anywhere described, but used starting fluid to get it to fire so was able to determine not electrical. Read lots of posts and online research and was about convinced was going to have to have it towed and tank dropped to pull the fuel pump from damage from e10% fuel, then read about charging the fuel line by multiple turn on and off without cranking. Tried that for about 10 cycles then tried start, and it fired up! Lucky! Wont let it sit that long again without firing up!806Views0likes0CommentsRe: Fall Workamping Ideas
Mike, Lee is a native Montanan and I lived there for 18 years. That said, we know the state inside and out. We moved to Texas in 2000 because we couldn't face another winter. While it is nice in the summer (July and August), the rest of the year can be brutal. Sidney is one of the coldest places in East Texas, where we lived. I can't imagine working the sugar beet season driving a truck in the cold. Lowest temps we experienced were minus 55 and that was not the wind chill temp. I would get out by September and go South or West. Christine, Holly Lake Ranch, TX155Views0likes0CommentsRe: Generator question
I have been having a similar low power start issue, with my onan generator, not sure how it is wired or where to start. When I tried to start, after sitting, connected to shore power for a month, the generator would turn over slowly, and with each revolution, the low voltage alarm on the lp gas leak detector would chirp, and the gen would not start. I connected an external battery charger to the house batteries for a few hours, and then the gen fired right off. The next day we headed out on a trip, and tried to start the gen with the vehicle running, and got the same slow turn over with chirp. We parked for the night with shore power, and while connected to shore power, it fired right off. Not sure what is going on. One time the shore power gave enough charge to the house batteries to start, one time it did not, and while under road conditions, house batteries not able to start generator from the vehicle generator charge, and there is that chirp :) The coach battery is charging and the vehicle has power and no trouble starting. Don't know if the coach batteries are getting bad, there is a connection problem, or the on board charger is not working correctly?382Views0likes0CommentsRe: driveline vibration
We are having a very similar experience. Tires are about a year old, but the vehicle did sit the last 5 months. The strange thing is the intermittent part of it. Did not have this happen before, now we are on a trip, and notice a severe vibration from the front end, coming up through the steering, starting at about 45 mph. Did not start until about 10 mile from the house. stopped and it cleared, but started back up again several times over the next 100 miles. Visual inspection during rocking the steering show maybe a very little play in the upper right rod joint. removed wheel covers and inspected tires, and found nothing. Did research on line, and it does seem to be an issue with ford front ends, but suggestions are anything from a sticking park brake, brake caliper, wheel bearings, or tire separation. I am thinking it would not be tire, front end, or wheel bearings, and leaning toward a brake issue because of the intermittent nature of the problem?821Views0likes0CommentsRe: What did you do to your Class C MH today???
My husband spent this weekend cleaning and waxing the motorhome and it turned out great. He did a wonderful job. While working on it we noticed the light next to the door had a melted cover. The cause was that ants had moved in and built a nest, causing a fire! I hate fire ants already but this took the cake. We evicted them for not paying the rent. I am still amazed at all the critters that move in when you live in the South. I guess you pay a price to be able to go camping all year long.425Views0likes0CommentsRe: What did you do to your Class C MH today???

Does anybody know where I can get the fiberglass sheeting for a custom rebuild job? My husband says try the wind deflectors thy make for semi trucks. About he same size. Also he would like to see some pictures.442Views0likes0Comments
