Re: Avoiding Sacramento
Executive wrote: Lynne, you don't post your rig and I'm not going to go thru your blogs to try to find out what you have. That said, depending on the size of your rig will determine which route would be easier/shorter/more enjoyable. Hwy 20 is winding part of the way. Hwy 49 is a restricted road for certain size rigs. I would simply go 71 south to I-5/99 south to I-80 east to 395 south. There's no reason to go into Sacramento as you'll pick up I-80 north of the city by Arco Arena.....Dennis Totally agree with this route thru Sacramento then follow I5 down to Hwy 58 to Bakersfield over to Edwards AFB. Done this exact route many times in the last 14 years never a challenge except the traffic around 7-9 am at Sacramento.238Views0likes0CommentsRe: Norcold 1200 gasket?

The first question I can answer. Norcold does not sell the weather strip seperate. they tell you that you have to order the complete door to get weather seal. Unsatisfactory is what i told them but all I got was a WE ARE SORRY!!!!!435Views0likes0CommentsRe: Turn signal problem
Artum Snowbird wrote: Yes, I know exactly what is wrong. The two lights that are flashing are actually flashing the thin running light filament. Take a wire from the battery negative, and connect it to the side of the bulb. If everything starts working again, it's that ground wire that is not properly connected to ground. What happens is like this. The current comes to the base of the thick filament of the bulb, then cannot exit out the side and go back to the negative because that connection is not there. So it then goes backwards through the thin running light filament and over to the other side and through that running light filament, then it goes out the good bulb on the side and to ground. The best way to prove this is what is going on is to take the red lens cover off, and look at the bulbs and the filaments inside them. In your case, the current is going through the thick brake/turn filament, then the thin filament on both sides. You will likely see the thick filament barely glowing, but the thin ones are more resistive to current so more voltage drops across them and they glow brighter.331Views0likes0CommentsRe: Generator Issue
Yours should have shore power connected through and when the generator feeds power to the transfer switch, a time delay of about 30 seconds allows the generator time to warm up and then the contactor coil is energized and power is then provided from generator through the transfer switch and into the coach. If it is a Newer coach a Surge Guard may be built into your EMS system and this is normal operation. It may also be why the power dropped out after 20 minutes. If the voltage gets too low or too high, or even a surge can cause the Surge Guard to do it job and protect your coach by disconnecting power. When the power has been interrupted, and if you are comfortable in checking inside the transfer switch with a volt meter to determine if power is getting through the Surge Guard and if so getting through the transfer switch. These terminals will be marked on the inside of the transfer switch . Remember to use the Neutral from the generator for all Volt Meter readings374Views0likes0Comments
