Hybrid Tow Vehicles
Flat Tow: 2006 Ford Escape Electric Hybrid - I now have 10 yrs and 80,000 miles towing it behind my 2005 American Eagle 40' Class A motorhome, and have not experienced any problems at all with towing or with the vehicle, just normal regular maintenance items(exhaust, brakes, tires) on the tow vehicle. However age is creeping up, as it is also used as a daily vehicle, with 300,000 miles on it now. Any persons with experience or knowledge of newer hybrids that will flat tow??
1990 suncrest sunbus
I have a 1990 suncrest sunbus with a John Deere chassis and 460 engine. We drove it to the gas station and came back out. It ran for like a sec and died. It wouldn't start back up. It has no fuel, no spark and dash lights. But it cranks.We check the fuel pump but jumping it to the battery it pumps and works, we jumped the ignition coil in the distributor and it didn't start. We also thought that it could of been the emergency fuel shut off so we just bypassed it. What else could it be. The only fuse box that we can locate is under the dash. When trying to look it up online we don't get much help. When we do.find something is always about a Ford chassis or Chevy chassis.FORD F53 ENGINE ISSUES
I have a 97 Fleetwood pace arrow vision. Ford F53 chassis. 460. 35,000 miles For the first 10-20 miles is runs fine. Then it starts backfiring through the intake. I can't give it more than an 8th throttle or it starts bucking or bogs out and I can't go over 35 mph, and my fuel economy is non existent. If I shut if off for a few minutes, it will run again for maybe 5 miles before doing in again, unless i wait hours for it to cool completely then I get the 10-20 miles. Ive replaced the fuel pump and filters, the ignition control module, and coil. Set timing at 10° btdc with spout disconnected. The tank is new, aluminum 100 gallon. And clean inside. Im kinda lost so any help would be appreciated
Aquahot Issues
Bought my Holiday Rambler Motorhome in August 2024. Since January 2025, the Aquahot has not been working correctly. I've been at the dealer 5 times to repair the unit. Due to waiting on parts, I've not had hot water for about months since January. Is anyone else having problems with their Aquahot? I've been trying to get a new unit, but Aquahot will only send parts. This last repair they sent a broken part. I am unable to reach management, I'm always stuck with the advisor who answers the calls from customers. The adviser will not transfer me to anyone else. Does any have an email address besides the address "[email protected]".
Question about Freedom 458 Inverter
Hi, I have a 2003 Allegro Bus 35IP. It has the Xantrex 458 Charger/Inverter option. I may need to replace the Xantrex and I am trying to figure out some of the factory wiring, specifically regarding the output from the inverter. There appear to be 2 AC circuits (2 20 AMP romex wires) coming out of the Xantrex inverter. I cannot determine where these are fused or how they tie into the primary 120v system. The main 120v Fuse panel has no current through it when the inverter is on (makes sense as to not backfeed the inverter) - yet all the branches work and have power. So really I have two questions: Are there fuses for the 2 output circuts from the inverter, if so where are they located? How does the inverter outputs tie into the 120v system without energizing the main 120v fuse panel?
