Electric hot water on fifth wheel .
Wintering on Vancouver Island B.C. Hydro is expensive here . Would I save any money ove a month , by turning my electric 12 gal hot water off in the evening and back on in the morning ? Or would it cost just as much to reheat in the morning ? Thanks everyone .2.9KViews0likes14CommentsRe: Need to replace chassis fuse panel on '98 Safari
Wolfe10 : The chassis fuse panel is located in the battery bay on my '98 Safari D.P. and controls the starter , electronic fuel pump and who knows what else . It contains some blade fuses ,,relays and may also have diodes , etc., buried in the gel coating . The fact is the technicians don't know what all it controls , they just have diagnosed that it is the reason my diesel won't start and I need to replace it . They have already talked to Joe at Northwest Rv Supply in Eugene ,,,apparently he has nothing there .269Views0likes0CommentsNeed to replace chassis fuse panel on '98 Safari
I need to replace the chassis fuse panel on my '98 Safari , 30ft diesel pusher with Magnum chassis . Does anyone know where I can locate this part ?? The number on the back is 2503150 and IDA ( those letters may not be correct as they are hard to read . There is also a date of : 02/05/98 My rig is in the shop and the guys can't seem to locate a new or used part ?? Any information is much appreciated as I am stranded without it . Since Safari folded and Monaco took them over ,,,it seems there are no records of these parts from days gone by . Thanks to all that reply .1.3KViews0likes4CommentsRe: 98 safari Cat diesel ,,module in battery bay ??
The engine lights are very dim ( I think something is draining my new batteries ) and the Allison push button pad just shows a squiggly line on it ,,,not P for park .Also when turning on the key ,,the engine intake air heater doesn't light up . Initially it turned over a couple times but only when I pushed the boost button on the dash ,,,then even that went dead . My house batteries are fine ( I think ) ,,,but my starting batteries seem to have gone dead . This is the third time this has happened to me ,,I actually had a for sale ad put in Used Victoria ,,not knowing the rv won't even start ,,,how embarrassing that would have been . So the mechanic seems quite certain it is the module in the battery bay ,,,,I have no idea what that is ,,,what it does or where would I get one for a 98 Safari Sahara 30ft diesel pusher ?? Any help much appreciated .summer is slipping by and my rig hasn't made it out of the storage yard , If anyone wants a Safari cheap ,,let me know ,it's gotta go .301Views0likes0CommentsChange Shurflo pump on 1998 Safari Sahara .
I think the pump is located up under the plumbing bay , I also think I may have froze mine as it was new last year and now has very little pressure . Is it something I can tackle to change it out with another new one ,,,apparently it's quite a bear to get at ??1.2KViews0likes7CommentsRe: engine won't start
I had similar problem with my '98 Safari diesel pusher ,two weeks ago . New starting batteries ,,engine would crank but not fire . So called a service man to storage yard ,,he checked wiring and fuse voltage,,,,,no voltage at VIPR and ECM. Had unit towed one and a half mile , cost $437.00 . Coach spent 7.9 hours in BMT shop ,Sidney B.C. ---- labor $790.00 ,,they checked and cleaned ECM and connection . Traced and checked wiring and found bad ground at ECM caused by terminal at batteries .they replaced one fuse for $7.11 . My total bill here on beautiful Vancouver Island came to $1500.35 after taxes . I do hope some of this information is helpful and hope you don't get slammed with an unrealistic bill like this . The total experience has reall clouded my desire to rv any longer and am thinking of selling my Safari . Good luck with your rig ,,,if it's electrical it can be the smallest thing like a dirty connection and the trick is to find it ,,,in a repair shop it can take hours . In my case I guess that old saying is pretty true " there's a sucker born every minute ",,but once they tow you in there ,,,what choices do you have ?

Hi everyone I have a 2009 Cardinal fifth wheel with a Dometic fridge .model number RM 3962 . I changed my house batteries about a month ago and ever since my fridge flashes the E1 code . I have done what it says in the manual to reset it ,,thatbdoesn't work ,,I've had a service person from Triagle rv out here and he thought he reset it,,,twenty minutes after he left ( and left me with a big bill ) my fridge is flashing again . The fridge works fine ,,,but I would like to know ,,other turning the fridge off and on again when the code comes on ,,,,,,,is there a fix for my not too serious problem ?? The service guy said the E1 code is stuck in the fridge,'s memory ,,,ya ,,so what ?? Thanks to all who answer .

Thanks gatorcq I really appreciate a response that's addressing my problem and not just someone tossing me some of their poor humor . Times like this ,when your rig won't start , the last thing you need is humor of any kind . Now I have to find a diesel mechanic that will come out to the storage yard and fix it . Then I am selling ,,,'98 30 ft Safari Sahara DP with one slide out . Thanks again for your reply . Seahunter 1596Views0likes0Comments
