Generator maintenance
I have a Damon 36’ A. It has an Oman diesel generator. Could someone tell me what the sequence is for generator start up and run time and how often I should run it just for general maintenance. Should I shut off the shore power and if so when? Thank you, Lee1.5KViews0likes8CommentsCat Diesel engine temp
Hello all. I have a 36’ diesel pusher with a 275hp cat engine. Also I’m pulling a small car on a tow dolly. It’s mid July and I’m moving through Texas headed to indiana. This is my first run in 90+ ambient temps. I am noticing my temp gauge moving from about 5/8 to 3/4 when pulling a fairly light and short grade. The gauge has not moved to the red but if this were a gas engine I would say it’s running on the hot side. Iv never owned a diesel so my question is does this sound normal? Im afraid my rig will never make it through the Rocky’s. Also if the gauge moves close to the red can this cat engine handle it or should I be pulling over quick for a cool down. By the way it’s a 1999 year with 90k miles and all maintenance done. Thank you for any info. Safe travels, Lee3.1KViews0likes17CommentsPortable air compressors
Hello,I wondered what type or brand of air compressors everyone is using? The portable ones don't look heavy enough for my 22.5 dully wheels, but I hate to lug around a big cylinder type compressor. So let me know what's working for you! Thank you, Lee3.9KViews0likes23CommentsTire inflations
Hello, I wondered how everyone handles tire inflations? I was at the rv show in Dallas yesterday and bought a tire pressur monitor but I still need valve stem extentions, then I guess I have to buy a compressor? This all seams very labor intensive. Is this what everyone is doing or am I over thinking tire pressure? Is there somewhere to take the rig to get air checked and adjusted. My last question regards tire pressure. I have a 36' diesel pusher. I have 6 tires on the ground. My tire inflation guide on the wall next to the driver seat shows the tire sizes and under inflations on front and rear it just says max inflation 100lbs. Is it ok and safe to keep all tires inflated to 100lbs. Is there a good average inflation? So that my tire questions. Thank you, Lee3.8KViews0likes21Comments
