Certainly. If the propane-side is working fine (12 VDC, good propane supply, thermocouple good, etc) all is good on propane. If 120 VAC is not powering the heating element, it will not work. Could be issue with shore power, breaker, fuse in water heater PC board or burned out 120 VAC heating element-- will not work. Basically two "mostly" unrelated heating sources. PC board being the point in common.Re: Bearing puller for utility trailerJust use a brass drift and hammer to remove the races. It is soft and will not harm the race or hub.Re: How much anti-freeze? ppine wrote: As an aside, I learned last winter not to dilute RV anti-freeze with water. Here in Nevada cold is a little below zero. The housing that holds my RV water filter froze and broke inside the plumbing compartment. So we don't confuse the OP or other readers, I ASSUME you are referring to the POTABLE water system anti-freeze. The OP is dealing with the engine coolant and DOES get to 50/50 coolant concentrate/distilled water.Re: Alaskan Marine Highway Experience?Juneau is the closest city to Glacier Bay NP and tours of the park can be arranged from there. An option is to drive to Skagway and take the Alaska Marine Highway down to Juneau. Probably just do it as a walk on unless spending enough time in Juneau to warrant taking your toad or even coach. BTW, there are other equally spectacular glacial areas further north if you are headed further into Alaska. Glacier Bay is not as spectacular as it was even a decade ago. Many of the tide water glaciers (the ones that calf) have receded so they calf on land, not into the water. This was of May 2023 when we last visited.Re: Doris is Dead!Yup,15/20 OR 30 OR 50 amp shore power? Was the CG breaker tripped? What is Alternating Current voltage when heavy loads are turned on? Very likely this is something that can be easily diagnosed, but only with FACTS.Re: Steering problem...looking for ideas/causesTie rod ends can get play in them. That allows the toe-in to change rather than being locked in at, say 1/8" toe-in.Re: Chaffed & leaking fuel lines in your motor coach? beware!Replacing fuel lines is NOT technical, but indeed takes time. Many of us have done it ourselves. Cost of fuel line itself is not excessive. You hire out the labor, THAT is a different story. And, yes fuel line degradation at that age is kind of expected.Re: AIRBAG LIFE SGTJOE wrote: Any thoughts on cost to replace the airbags? Since you have an AIR SUSPENSION on our DP, you need to look at replacements with the same/another replacement of equal quality air bag. Are you seeking a parts only cost? If parts and labor, your location will likely have a big impact on $$.Re: Chaffed & leaking fuel lines in your motor coach? beware!You need to replace ALL the fuel lines (engine, generator, supply and return). 25+ year old rubber fuel hose is an accident waiting to happen. Not only fuel LEAKS, but on the suction side of the lift pump (tank to life pump), any opening will allow AIR into the fuel system. Can easily leave you on the side of the road.
