97 Ford 460 issues
I have a 97 Fleetwood pace arrow vision on the Ford F53 chassis with the 460 v8 gas engine. 33k miles on rig. New aluminum 80 gallon fuel tank and FoMoCo sourced fuel pump. After driving for roughly 2 hours I lose power and can't get over 2k rpms without the engine bucking and shaking, if I continue the check engine light will come on. If I shut off the engine for a minute or more all is normal again after restart though for how long varies. I did have a problem with the distributer bolt being loose and the timing getting messed up which I set as well as I could as due to the design of the dog house I can't get anywhere near seeing the timing marks without putting my face into a spinning fan blade. If anyone has a suggestion on how to fix that issue also I'd appreciate it. Oh before anyone asks the rig is OBD1 even though it's a 97 so pulling a code without the check engine light on doesn't work
Shower Drain Hepvo Valve
Well, I did it this time... I didn't realize my shower was protected by a Hepvo valve, and I used a wire to clear a hair clog. And, I tore the whole valve out of the pipe. Problem is that there is no room to replace it under the shower. There's only 3/4 inch space between the floor and valve, and same between the shower floor and valve. Can't fit a strap wrench on it, there's no way to turn it even if I could. Had an RV repair guy look at it, and he confirmed that I'd have to remove the entire shower to replace this piece. With this valve missing, the smell is terrible while showering. Question: Is there any other type of valve that I could install at the top of the shower drain? Maybe in the catch basket before the water goes down the pipe? Anyone have a suggestion?Windshield continuously pops out.
I bought a used 2000 Fleetwood Bounder 39Z. the previous owner and friend of mine noticed the gasket had come loose on the passenger side top corner. So he had a glass guy reset the glass, so it wasn't leaking. I had it out driving it around and having some minor work done and it was leaking air again. so, I took it to a guy who got it pushed back into place again. it has now come out for a third time and I'm hearing from some other glass companies this is a common issue, but no one seems to know how to fix it or what needs corrected so it doesn't continue to happen. Has anyone had this issue and know of a solution?
Manually inflating rear airbag on a 1995 Gulfstream Sunsport
I can't get the electronic controls up front to work, so I'm trying to figure out if there is a manual way to get the fill valves to open on the airbags so I can raise up the rear for towing. I've located the box that contains what is most likely a solenoid for each back and it has a lever sticking out of it. However, I can't budge the lever by hand. Does anyone have any documentation on how you can do this process manually, if at all?
Coleman Mach zc thermostat showing opposite temperature
I have an older coleman mach zc 2 zone system. I have noticed that the rear of the coach is much colder than the front and I keep adjusting the thermostat in the zones. Zone 1 does control the zone 1 a/c unit and zone 2 controls zone 2 a/c unit. Yesterday I got my temperature gun and noticed that even though the zones correctly handle the respective a/c unit the temp sensor readings seem to be backwards. The thermostat was showing 75 in zone 1 , but when i checked the temp at the sensor it was 80. Zone 2 showed 80 on the thermostat, but the temp at the sensor was 75. My first thought was that the sensors were reversed, but it appears that the sensors attach to the control boards in the intake of each unit. due to the locations, I don't think they would have swapped those. Could the issue be the thermostat is malfunctioning? or is the issue somehow crossed sensors? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
Tow vehicle
In the process of purchasing a 2016 Jayco Alante with V10. Plan to tow a 2011 Frontier (Automatic) after I have the drive shaft disc. installed as well as Blue Ox plates, brake actuator and etc. The tow capacity of the TV is 5k. The Frontier is about 4.25k, if I load it w/ a couple Kayaks and misc gear I'll be pushing up on the tow capacity. Anybody towing a heavier rig like the Frontier with a V10? Any pointers? Transitioning from a Trailmanor, so this will be a different ballgame. Thanks
