Re: 2005 Seneca slideout
As said previously there is only one drive motor. If the drive line is intact, no sheared pins, check the the drive gear on the rack end that is not moving. These are weak and can shatter if overloaded. Also to realign the slide there is a clutch disengagement lever on the motor so that you can manually move the slide with some effort to a reasonable proximity fore and aft. Hopefully something as simple as a shear pin. If it is a shear pin, check for an obstruction. Denny281Views0likes0CommentsRe: Help I'm melting....
Are we assuming that the gen is gas? If it is a diesel the oil should be 15/40. If gas 10/30 or 30 and possibly 10/40. As to the mentioned tripped 20 amp breaker, changing power under load will do that on any circuit. Also don't run both A/Cs on 30 amp shore power. The gen you have should have no problem at all running both A/Cs or any other appliance in your RV at the same time. Loose connections at the breaker panel is a good place to start and then suspect icing while moving down the road. There is a sensor that lays against the evaporator that senses ice and will cycle the compressor off for a time to melt out the ice. Greater air flow thru the condenser while moving could be making the A/Cs more effective. And that is a WAG.287Views0likes0CommentsRe: NEW TIRES for the Kodiak- 225/70/19.5's
My GS was delivered with Mitch's ZXZs 245/70R 19.5s. They were H rated with 120 psi max rating. I'm thinking that a G rated tire isn't enough tire for your GS. I run 95 psi with a tire monitor system and in moderate temps pressures increase to around 110 psi and 95 to 105 degrees F. I now have a full set of Toyos H rated same temps and pressures in moderate ambient temps. Summer driving will increase temps and pressures. With the assumed weights and the GS being pretty heavy out of box my opinion is that the Gs may not cut it. Get the rig weighed and chart it to see what the tire pressures should be. You need full fuel, water and propane and all the equipment that you would normally travel with. That means clothes ,food and condiments. Don't forget the dog. Hit the scales. Keep in mind the published axel weight ratio. Ideally individual corner weights would be the way to go then you could inflate per the weights at each corner. Its pretty difficult to find a place that can do that unless a Dot inspector wants to practice. Anyhow summer driving heat will be the test. Just my opinion. Denny460Views0likes0Comments
