ACCESS TO SEWAGE HOSE ON 2015 EXPEDITION
My 2015 Fleetwood Expedition seems to have the floor in the utilities compartment installed backward. The larger tray for the sewage hose is forward of the smaller tray. The front tray has a larger removable plate in the bottom than the rear tray. The problem is that the sewage hose connection is located just above the smaller rear tray so close to the tray that the hose must go out the bottom of the smaller tray with the smaller access panel. Does anyone else have an Expedition with this lay-out?843Views0likes2CommentsRe: CELL PHONE INTERNET ACCESS
Well I have read the entire thread and I am more confused than ever. I have ATT/CINGULAR service and a Motorola V-180 cell phone and AOL internet service. I ordered a USB cable and software from Motorola called Mobile Phone Tools in order to connect to the internet. Got it to work. Problem was that I got the first bill for $459 for Data service. I had previously contacted Cingular about the charges and they had assured me that they were false charges, however they checked after I received the bill and then they said that the charges were ligitimate. They are going to give me credit for them since they hadled me to believe that there would not be charges using the system that I have. They stated that in the future if I want to use my cell phone for connection, I should pruchase the $24.99 data plan that they have. My question is can I use that plan and drop AOL who is my service provider? I asked the customer service rep that and she was not very clear on the answer. Thanks for any help that you can provide Doug562Views0likes0CommentsRe: Breakdown Information
MAP40, Using the Emergency start switch to tie the two battery systems together did not cause any other damage or problems. The house batteries did not suffer any unusual damage since as soon as I got the low battery light on the dash, I would start the generator to re-charge, maintain the batteries. This also charged the chassis batteries since they were still tied to the coach betteries. Also the batteries did not fully discharge since the warning light comes on when the voltage drops a small amount. I am not sure what the level is, but it is still high to start the generator or even the engine if needed within about 30 minutes of first seeing it come on.

03, Fleetwood Discovery, Freightliner chassis, Cat 330HP. On trip from Florida to Arizona, I was less han 100 miles from home when the low batery light came on. I pulled over as soon as I could and wedged a tooth pick in the emergency start switch. This tied the house batteries [4 six volt] to the chassis system and the light went off. I stopped later at a large parking lot and checked the alternator belt and it was OK. I decided to continue the trip using the house batteries to furnish electrical power. When I got the low battery light again, after running several hours at night, I started the generator and continued the trip. We completed the roundtrip of over 4,000 miles by using this method. We would charge our batteries in the campgound each night and only run the generator when both battery banks got low. Once I almost waited to long to start the generator and was barely able to get it to start on the low battery. I saw in previous posts that others had run home on generator. I was able to keep the generator off for the majority of trip by using the emergency start feature. After we finished our trip, we returned the coach to our dealer and had the alternator replace under warranty since it had only 11,000 miles when it failed. I had called Fleetwood to report the failure before I reached 12,000 miles and they stated that I could have the work done under warranty when we returned to Florida. Doug Ray421Views0likes0Comments
