Propane detector issue
I have a CCI Controls Pre-Tell 2 propane detector on my 1995 Pace Arrow. On my last trip the propane detector activated while I was driving. After the detector had been screaming for about ten seconds the engine ignition quit causing a loss of power, brakes and steering. Fortunately I was only travelling at about 50kph when the engine quit so apart from being dead in the driving lane it wasn't a big safety hazard. After switching off the alarm the power came back and the engine restarted OK. At the campground I turned the detector back on and had gas for the weekend. I turned off the detector before heading home. Is the detector supposed to turn off engine ignition power as well as propane or was this some sort of coincidence?1.2KViews0likes4CommentsPress and Go vinyl tile
I am looking at replacing all the flooring in my class A (1995 Pace Arrow Coronado) with press and go vinyl tile floating floor. Is this a viable product for an RV or should the floor be glued down? My wife is concerned that the movement and bouncing of the chassis will cause problems with the floor. My own take is that since the tiles are locked together there should be no problems. Has anyone used this product (or similar) in RV renovations?2.8KViews0likes7CommentsRe: P30 Chassis electrical problem
I disconnected the batteries and sure enough the guages didn't drop to zero, so I my problem must be elsewhere. I did find one ground strap on the house batteries that was disconnected but sisnce there are four of them I dont think that one made much difference. One thing I did notice is that with the chassis battery disconnected the ignition was still live but not the starter. I do wish there were schematics available for the complete unit. Thanks for your help everyone.314Views0likes0CommentsP30 Chassis electrical problem
I have a 1995 Pace arrow Coronado on a Chevy P30 chassis. The problem that I have is with phantom current. When the ignition is switched off the speedo creeps up to about 5MPH, the oil pressure creeps up above zero. The battery guage reads a steady 12 volts whether the ignition is on or off, the fuel guage and the engine temp guage don't appear to move. When the ingnition is turned on (before starting engine) both the speedo and oil guage drop to zero (the battery guage and the fuel guage don't move)until the engine starts and them everything seems normal. If I don't keep the MH plugged in to shore power both chassis and house batteries drain. I am at a complete loss as to where to even start looking for the problem so any help or suggestions would be appreciated.2.6KViews0likes10Comments
