Re: How many of us are there? Owners of Dodge based RV's?
Thanks, HiTech You were right! Went in for the emission teat and "flew" right through. Shocked me! (now i have to learn how to work the gas, hot water, fridge, crapper, and everything electrical!) I have the complete mechanical manual, for the Van part, of my 1977 Dodge Sportsman. However, I have no clue on all of the RV parts! Did it come with an owners manual and, if it did, where can I find it? (ps The Van manual is available if anyone wants to see it.)328Views0likes0CommentsRe: How many of us are there?

Been a while. Got the manual for the 77 Dodge Van B300. It's at rvhelp.net. I only drove the 77 Sportsman once last year. When it got warm the tranny slipped. Had to let it cool to get home. Parked it and didn't touch it until this week. Changed the tranny fluid, gasket, and filter. Seems some ass had put oil in it! When hot the fluid would foam and slip! Works fine now. I'm in Denver and I don't know if it'll pass emissions. I see no cataletic converter or EGC, nothing. Hope I'm not in for trouble. Any comments?328Views0likes0CommentsRe: How many of us are there?

The water pump is not cut out and stays on the house battery. This isolates the battery so it can be charge from a seperate battery charger. This charger was missing when I bought the rig and I spent lots of time trying to figure out why the battery didn't charge when the rig was plugged into the AC. Testin the water pump with isolation and non-isolation revealed it just work better when isolated, which is what the rig manufacture intended. I found a spec sheet for my "converter." It has two separate 12 volt circuits. I'm guessing I've blown a fuse on one. Thanks for all the help. I've been working on a more pressing problem, kingpin replacement. Fun, fun, fun. Can you post the Schematic to the Converter? Thanks, Scott429Views0likes0CommentsRe: How many of us are there? Owners of Dodge based RV's?
More than one, whiteknight! I'm begging to scan the entire manual in for the B300 series @ http://rvhelp.net. It's far complete, but I anyone needs I'll skip to the chapters they want. And, don't worry, I'll have a better method of page loading (for dial-up) in a few weeks. Ummm, the real reason I'm here is that I don't have an owners manual for my 1977 M40 (MB400) that's on my B300 chassis. I don't know how to use the water heater/ forced air / refrig. etc... Any help would be welcome. Scott in Denver423Views0likes0CommentsRe: How many of us are there? Owners of Dodge based RV's?
Thanks, HItech The john has a single knob. I mean to go out and try more than just one twist and release. It may fill if the release is slow (or paused). The only thing I can think of, is that the knob once released slowly to fill the bowl and has since worn out and just snaps back to close. (thus allowing only a very short time for refill.)455Views0likes0CommentsRe: How many of us are there? Owners of Dodge based RV's?
Hi, This is my first post. So don't look for past postings. I have a 1977 MB400 Sportsman. I have the Shop Manual (for the B300 chassis) and will scan the whole thing as jpg's. I will post it, any submissions, and any news that I have on a site: www.rvhelp.net. If you want to help, send anything (RV related help) to fruition@lycos.com. p.s. I don't have the owners manual that explains the camper part of the vehicle. I know nothing about the gray/black water system. My toilet bowl gets only a very small amount of water into it after each flush! Thanks, Scott456Views0likes0Comments
