Re: Breakdown Information
Same rig, plugged fuel strainer inside left frame near the door. This takes a half inch inline filter. RV particulars:Southwind 32-K Driveline (Engine, Transmission):454-4bbl Miles:48000 Year:1989 Break Down Description: (You can add any description of the problem here that you think would help others in understanding the situation and problem.) Symptoms: engine popping and backfireing under load,( going uphill) Effect: a pulsation feel in the coach and a popping sound while driving up some grades. Cause:never really found out. I did change all the plugs & wires, cap,rotor,ignition control module Outcome:This did work for a while but the problem came back after about 2 to 3,000 miles. Also I did replace burned out #8 plug wire twice during this problem time frame. Traded in the coach with 52,000 miles 2001 suncrusier, V10, 32-v, dinning slide, 1 wife, 1 westie, life is good! 03 malibu toad sometimes,455Views0likes0CommentsRe: Breakdown Information
Re: No start faulty relay, fan belt breakage, 1989 Chev P30 454 w/Quadrajet carburator, gasoline, Turbo 400 trans, 32'Southwind Drivers, I have had the same trouble as nantra, but it will eventully start. Where exactly is the relay and what does it look like. I thought it may have something to do with the shift lever and neutral switch. 1989 Southwind P30 chassis, 454Chev. My Chev. has broken the serpintine type belt driving the water pump twice. This installation turns the water pump in the standard direction whereas the newer serpintine belts turn the pump backwards from what we are used to. The problem seems to be that the contact covers less than 45 degrees of surface of the fan pully. When the fan clutch engages, the belt will slip and burn up. I am installing Flexolite m/n 295 and removing the driven fan entirely. I hope the earlier chassis has the "V" belts. Check list format is a great idea! Good Sam ERS has saved me twice.

For used M/H look for waves or seperation on the outside skin. This an indication of a leak in the roof. An older unit with a leaky roof will have structial damage. Those of us who are able to afford a new or like new unit should not have a problem, although we must regularly inspect the seams of the roof for small harmless looking cracks that can be the start of a roof leak.450Views0likes0Comments
