Re: Slideout not fully extending
Appreciate all or your responses Gear & gear track appear to be fine I say this based mainly on the fact I am able to unlock brake on slideout motor an if I Use a 12 inch long adjustable wrench I able to turn the 1 inch tubing that connects to slideout motor & extend slideout all the way Am I correct in thinking if I'm able to move slideout completely then gears & gear track must be OK ?????341Views0likes0CommentsSlideout not fully extending
Recently tried to extend slideout & heard a loud sound & slideout stopped extending Realized MH not level Moved MH Slideout worked great installed lamp on slideout wall & now slideout only extends about one half of way out & stops Made sure MH was level & no obvious obstructions Applied lubricate but still no luck Is there a limit switch on motor & when MH was not level & I tried to move slideout is it possile I may have changed the limits on the switch Looks like an easy fix but have no clue where to begin Any suggestions will be appreicated Thanks 2006 Fleetwood Jamboree 23e class C1.6KViews0likes6CommentsRe: Looking at 2008 Motorhome????
Low mileage was a big concern to me HOW COME Asked seller & he said shortly after purchasing MH his wife & travel conpanioun passed away & he had no desire to use Motorhome At an RV storage yard I passed over the last 3 years at least I always saw MH stored there A complete inspection is an absolute Keep suggestions coming Anyone own a 2008 Tioga SL Motorhome???? Thanks150Views0likes0CommentsLooking at 2008 Motorhome????
Hi I ran across a 2008 Fleetwood Tioga SL that appears to be in excellent condition seller is asking 44,500 Motorhome has 3700 miles on it Should I be concerned about low mileage???? How does low mileage & not being used very often have an effect on the unseen parts of motorhome: engine,transmission,generator,hoses,belts ,tires & etc Looks great Body in pristine condition Original owner any suggestions on a positive way to verify all systems????? I bought a Motorhome from a dealer a few years ago & was totally misled My fault as I trusted the dealer Don't want to get stung again Did go to NADA & price is within their guidelines I have Vin # but a report would only tell me about Ford Chassis not Motorhome itself Help with your suggestions Thanks3.8KViews0likes17CommentsRe: No DC
Thanks That circuit breaker is located under many wires at bottom of battery box Leary of working on any electrical device If I disconnect from shore power , disconnect positive & negstive battery cables will it be safe for me to just place my hands with a wrench & etc & work on removing & replacing circuit breaker??? Will power from truck battery enter into picture Thanks185Views0likes0CommentsNo DC
It may be to early to cheer but I'll go ahead anyway & see what tomorrow brings Thanks to everyone who took the time to advize & support me with your replies I did try most everything you suggested but after 4 hours this morning I was about to give up I experienced the exact same problem some time ago & Fleetwood suggested a fix & everything worked fine This time when I lost DC & no battery charging The first fix I looked at was the fix I did in the past All that involved was looking into bottom of battery box where there is a small devise that when tripped a very small blackbutton pops out of this breaker & all one needs to do is push this button back into breaker which then does a reset & everything works but this time there was no button visible Therefore I just started looking at everything else But lo & behold when I had given up I looked at this breaker & walla there was the black button which I reset & now everything is working as designed Just very thick skulled Thats me Plan on contacing Fleetwood & getting a new breaker Also I read that if I run into this problem again I need to knock on breaker with some force in order to completely make button pop out of breaker so it can then be reset Hope when I check MH tommorow morning I still have DC & batteries are charging Thanks again to all of you Ted1KViews0likes4CommentsDC Power
Hi Working on resolving lost DC Many things I don't understand On shore power i have AC & DC On house batteries I have no DC but still have AC What is the source of AC????? Must be my Inverter which takes DC from batteries & inverts it to AC IS this correct???? How come I can get AC from my batteries but no DC???? obviously I'm confused Please straighten me out Thanks1.3KViews0likes7CommentsNo DC
Positive exiting inverter was loose but at first I wasn't concerned but loose wire kept coming up in responses here so I finally really tighten clamp on wire & much to my surprise I had 12 volt power at all devices Was real Happy ,went & did some things in house & went back 1 hour later & SURPRIZE NO DC Disappointed to say the least Batteries on past trips just didn't seem to be getting a full charge like I expected when on shore power All connections look good I'm thinking converter needs to be replaced Is there a definitive easy test I can do to determine if converter is shot???? Thanks Ted PS: If need be I will remove converter to perform a test but would rather leave unit in motorhome & do test1.3KViews0likes7Comments
