If I play with the magnet, sometimes it works, most of the time, not. Dear Stan, Replace your door switch from what you're stating in your email. The magnetic switches do go bad. May 25, Rita of Laurel Hill, North Carolina writes regarding finding wiring diagrams for Pinnacle with Chevy chassis Where would I find an owners manual or something with wiring diagrams for this RV?

I have two rather thick black and green wires coming from the overhead section of the drivers seat. The ceiling was torn out due to a serious leak and the guy who did it is no-longer around.

I have no idea where or what they go to. I bet the only wiring diagram, even made for it, was for manufacturing the unit, and never in a service manual for repair shops or consumers. May 25, Joe of Grand Rapids, Michigan writes regarding whether there is a separate fuse for water pump in Winnebago Elandon with Ford Is there a separate fuse for the water pump. My pump will run if wired directly but there is no power through the wiring. Dear Joe, Look for a water pump controller and check all the switches.

Sometimes if they didn't use a controller they had one switch, usually on monitor panel that was the master switch that had to be on before the other switches would work.

May 25, Tim of Jasper, Tennessee writes regarding problems with fuel pump in Allegro on John Deere chassis and Ford drive train The fuel pump gets power when you turn the switch to the start position but looses power when you release it back to the run position.

I've checked the inertia switch it seems to be good, is there a relay for the pump somewhere? Or can I run a hot wire straight to the fuel pump from the ignition switch and not burn the fuel pump up? Dear Tim, Yes, there is a relay. You should have a relay tied up someplace under the dash tied up in the wiring harness.

You can run a hot wire straight to the fuel pump, but in doing so, you're bypassing all safety features. May 24, Michael of Las Vegas, Nevada writes regarding tail lights not working on Allegro motor home with Chevy The rear lights, tail lights do not work. If you have the head lights on the brake lights don't work; brake lights on and you turn on the left blinker the lights get dim on the left rear and the right rear start a dim blink.

Right rear blinker doesn't work. Dear Michael, You need to start pulling lenses and checking and replacing sockets as necessary to get rid of all the feedback from circuit to circuit; you might have to replace a few fuses and bulbs also.

May 22, Mike of Rocky Point, North Carolina writes regarding fuel pump going out on Sun Vista on John Deere chassis with Ford My fuel pump went out and I have installed an in line electric rotary style pump. It will crank and run great but it will not stay running it has gas and a filter, I was wondering what style I need to put on it and should I put it near the tank at the bottom or top or should I put it near the engine because it has to pump up in elevation from the tank fittings at the bottom and it has to pump a long distance.

Dear Mike, If there is no pump mounted in front of the tank then the original pump is in the tank. It was usually mounted on a cross member just in front of the tank near the top. The Holly red fuel pump is a good replacement pump. Make sure you're not loosing power to the pump, it could be a bad relay. May 21, James of Port Coquitlam, British Columbia writes regarding no interior lights unless plugged into electric in Triple E motor home I have no interior lights when not plugged into v.

I am trying to find the 12 v fuse panel but can not find it anywhere. Do you know where the fuse box is on this Triple E motherhood? Not the breaker panel, the 12v fuse panel. Dear James, It might not have one.

Some of those old models used a series of barrel fuses in-line, maybe under a coach battery or next to the coach batteries. May 20, Shayne of Decatur, Georgia writes regarding fuel pump draining battery on possible motor home purchase I'm interested in purchasing an RV from a seller.

He states that the batteries are new but he has had to charge them recently due to something pulling from the battery. He states that he continues to leave on the "Fuel Pump Switch". Does a stock fuel pump drain from the battery while the vehicle is parked? I'm assuming this could be for the generator. I know there is not a lot of info here, so thanks for your help. You normally have a water pump switch and that shouldn't be left on all the time.

Someone could have added a switch for an after market pump. If so, it should only have power to the switch when the key is on and that would eliminate any draw on it. May 19, Linda of Olympia, Washington writes regarding location of fuel pump relay in Fleetwood Bounder on Chevy P chassis with Chevy I need help to locate the fuel pump relay. One source referenced the "shipping panel" ; and while I'm not sure what that is, I'm guessing it's where the radiator is mounted -- however, the relay is not there.

Dear Linda, Find the GM fuse panel should be under the dashthen you should see a series of relays next to the GM fuse panel. May 18, Tom of Sterling, Virginia writes regarding stuck speedo and tranny stuck in second gear in Tiffin Allegro Bay with Chevy Coming in from a trip today the speedometer stuck at 15 mph at the same time the volt gauge went to "0" and the tranny would shift but it seemed to be stuck in 2nd gear.

What is going on? Is it the shifting module? I just changed the fluid and it was perfect but I went ahead and changed it anyway. The coach was perfect going and it did make it home but I am at a loss as to why the 15 mph.

Dear Thomas, Do some trouble shooting starting with fuses gauge. Then ground connections, speed sensor and wiring connection. Test the alternator, you should have an ideal by then if it is an issue with the ECM. January 4, Fred of Arizona writes regarding location of converter in HR Presidential fifth wheel Where do I find the converter in this 5th wheel?

Also, do you know where I can get a repair manual that shows the location of everything? I just bought this one and am working on it, but need a repair manual. Dear Fred, I can't with the manual as stated on our Frequently Asked Questions, FAQs, page. You will just have to look for the converter. It is probably with the breakers and fuses. Look for this behind a vented panel for air flow. Pick up a basic RV repair and maintenance manual at: When I drive and start braking, the brake pedal works fine when braking, but when I get my foot off the brake, it slowly comes up often I have to put my foot behind the brake pedal to pull the brake up.

Does that mean I have to replace the whole brake cylinder? Or can it be easily adjusted to come up right away after braking? Dear Jay, Check the linkage you might actually find a grease cert on it; or just need to be sprayed with penetrate oil.

I don't think you have a problem with the cylinder. May 9, Joe of Brawley, California writes regarding trying to replace transmission oil cooler hoses in Bounder with Chevy We replaced radiator on engine due to overheating issue.

We cannot locate the hoses to install new. I have so much trouble locating parts for this engine and transmission. Dear Joe, You can take the line off and go to a parts house in your area and have them made up; really, anyone making hydraulic hose can do it. They are probably engine oil cooler lines, usually the transmission cooler lines go to the radiator, and the AC condenser also houses the engine oil cooler. May 9, Lee of Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin writes regarding Mallard Sprinter with Chevy taking gas slowly when fueling up When filling my Mallard Sprinter Chevy with gas, it takes gas slowly.

If you have gas coming out of the pump fast, it will not take gas at all, it acts like its full. If it is a slow running pump, it will take gas, but will take 20 minutes to put in 30 gallons. Dear Lee, Unplug the vent line and make sure it runs higher than the filler tube.

May 8, Nichole of Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania writes regarding Chevy class B with non working speedometer and tachometer I bought a Chevy van motor home and the speedometer and tachometer does not work. I've changed the speed sensor and that didn't fix anything. I don't know what to do now because they won't pass my inspection without it being fixed. Any advice would be appreciated.

Dear Nichole, Try and find a service manual for the chassis. Some of those had a small control module under the dash that picked up the signal form the G. May 7, Tommy of Avondale, Arizona writes regarding location of emergency shut off for the fuel pump Where is emergency shut off for the fuel pump? Dear Tommy, Good question.

Look inside under the dash around the steering column. I know it has a couple of relays for the pump, usually on the radiator support, next to the horns or behind the battery; but I don't know that I have ever seen the reset shut down switch on those older units.

May 6, Carl of New Bethlehem, Pennsylvania writes regarding whether or not to replace blown engine in Georgie Boy I am broken hearted, I started down the road for a short trip and the engine blow up 20 miles out of town.

Now it sits in my shop and I need to decide if I should try an engine swap. It looks like the engine has to come out the front and I am sure it is no small job. I have tools and a cherry Picker. But I need someone to tell me if I am crazy to put the time and money into something this old. Are there any major reason that this can not be done? The frame and the inside are all in good shape for the year but I just do not know whether to try or not. I even have an engine that should fit if I can find a bell housing to match the trans.

I guess my real question is it time to let go or get to work? I am sure this is not your typical question but having followed your site your years, I felt if I could ask anyone It would be you. If your answer is yes. Dear Carl, I guess the biggest question would be overall condition of your motor home and how much do you want to put into it? If you have the tools and the engine, I would say go for it.

If it has a driver's door, that's usually the easiest way to change it. Some people pull the transmission and go out the bottom. If the grill was easy to remove, it would usually go through the front. May 3, Ray SHOUTS regarding Itasca Suncruiser motor home not starting, then starting and not shutting down MH NO START NO SMOKE A FRIEND CKD THE FSS HE PUSHED THE SOLENOID UP AND THE MH STARTED WOULD NOT SHUT OFF WITH KEY HAD TO MANUALLY PULL THE SOLENOID DOWN.

SO I CHANGED THE FSS PUT IN NEW RELAY NO START SO I CHANGED THE LIFT PUMP PUSHED THE PRIMER TIMES I COULD NOT DETECT ANY FUEL MOVING TO LIFT PUMP THE FILTER ON ENGINE WAS DRY SO I FILLED IT ALSO THE WATER SEPERATOR FILTER I FILLED IT.

TURNED THE ENGINE OVER WITH KEY MADE NO ATTEMPT TO START. FROM WHAT I COULD DETERMINE FROM INFO I COULD RESEARCH THE LIFT PUMP IS THE ONLY PUMP TO GET FUEL BACK TO THE HI-PRESSURE PUMP. SO I INSTALLED A 12V INLINE FUEL PUMP THAT PUT OUT 7LBS OF PRESSURE THAT DID NOT SOLVE MY PROBLEM OR HELP A LITTLE BIT.

You should be able to see it move just by turning the key off and on. There is an adjustment on the linkage for length to insure that the solenoid is opening and closing, but not opening too far or it will stick and not shut down. May 1, Chandia of Mexico, Missouri writes regarding replacing speedometer in Fleetwood Southwind with Chevy chassis How do you replace the speedometer; is it all one piece or two?

Dear Chandia, I can't remember for sure, but I am thinking that is the GM cluster with speed-o on one side and four gauges on the other side in a circle about the size of the speed-o head. If you can find parts they all can be changed separately. April 30, Greg of Hood River, Oregon writes regarding problems with Winnebago Indian with Dodge after installing new converter I have a Winnebago and I just put in the converter and it everything works with the generator on but when you plug into an outlet there is no power.

So if you turn on the faucet nothing happens. Dear Greg, Look for some switches or breakers to change from shore power to generator. Most of the older coaches did not use transfer switches. Your water pump system is 12 volt. Make sure you have good coach battery voltage. April 30, Rachel of El Cajon, California writes regarding emergency brake locking up on Winnebago Chieftain with Dodge The emergency brake has locked up, not sure how to fix this issue.

Currently can't drive it due to this and I live in it so I need it drivable so I don't get a ticket. Dear Rachel, I believe it's a drive line park brake on the back of the transmission. Pull the drive shaft, disconnect the cable from the linkage on the brake assembly; pull the brake drum and find out why it's stuck. April 30, Tom of Wattsburg, Pennsylvania writes regarding finding fuses to trace draw on battery in Sprinter with Ford Trying to locate second fuse on motor home to try trace draw on truck battery.

Found one under dash by emergency peddle, can't find other or others? Dear Tom, Your Mallard should have the power converter, AC breakers and coach fuses all in the same box. Look behind a vented panel for air floweither in a cabinet, wall, or possibly under the sofa or bed. April 28, Wolf of Doyle, California writes regarding finding emergency brake cable for Eldorado with Dodge chassis Does anybody happen to be parting out a Dodge MB chassis MH, or know of any recyclers where I could pick up a front emergency brake cable for my RV?

Dear Wolf, You can check some on line RV salvage yards. Measure the length of cable and housing. If I ever get to where I can get back in my shop, I might have a new one. April 26, Bernie of Vienna, Ontario writes regarding three year old problem with brake warning light illuminating intermittently in Itasca with Chevrolet chassis On July 26, the red brake warning light on dash flashes on and off intermittently.

Sometimes it will stay on for a period of time and then go off for awhile. I have had this problem for the past three years. Brake fluid and pads are fine. Could you please tell me the location of the sensor and other possible causes of this problem? Dear Bernie, Have you checked the sensor located on your parking brake front pedal assembly? April 25, Boettger of Henderson, Nevada writes regarding replacement rear suspension parts for Fleetwood on Chevy chassis Rear suspension is using rubber blocks instead of leaf springs, one side has sheared and is now sitting on the bump stop.

Where can I find replacement parts or is there another way to fix this? Dear Boettger, Mor Ryde suspension. April 24, Joe of Kenly, North Carolina writes regarding belt configuration for Bounder with John Deere chassis Need to know what the belt configuration is on this RV. It has a Ford V8 with 9 pulleys. Belts have come completely off. If we could get a list of the part numbers for the belts would be good as well.

Dear Joe, Freightliner parts can come up with part numbers for you and possibly a diagram, but they will need your VIN. April 24, Kari of Prince George, British Columbia writes regarding power switch for second battery in GMC Chevy Van The motor home is called a Country Classic Senior. We have just hooked up our 2nd battery for power use to the motor home. We have a fan under bottom of bed that turned in as soon as second battery was connected, great our lights all work, yayyy!

But where is the power switch located to turn second battery on and off? The previous owner said breaker box is next to the fan. I have found the breaker box. Tried all of the switches and it is not one of them. Do we have to keep unconnecting the battery and reconnecting the battery, or do you know where this switch is located? Dear Kari, You might not have a battery disconnect switch for the second battery. You can add a knife blade disconnect on the ground cable very easily.

Is there a switch somewhere? Can't find info in the limited manual that came with it. Dear Robert, If it has two AC units, one of them may be wired to the genset only. Some of the older motor homes had a couple of breakers to flip in different direction to change from shore power to generator power and some used a toggle switch on the wall.

April 22, Kathy of Underwood, North Dakota writes regarding gasoline running out of back when idling with Winnebago SuperChief When the motor home is idling gas runs out by the back of the motor home. When we drive it, it seems to not run out and was wondering what is causing it. Dear Kathy, It could be a busted fuel line or vent line leaking. I wouldn't drive it until it's fixed. You can't see the fuel flying out while you're driving and you have tail pipes back there.

April 22, Mike of Yuma, Arizona writes regarding location of fuel pump in Mobile Traveler with Ford Where is the fuel pump located and is it electric? Also, the fuel gauge does not work. Dear Mike,you're working on my recall. If you don't see a pump on the engine or inside of the frame rail, then it will be in the tank, electric.

The float on the sending unit is the number one failure on the fuel gauge. April 21, Rocky of Mound, Minnesota writes regarding front brakes locked up in Coachmen Leprechaun My front brakes are locked up, I took the caliper off and checked the piston.

It will go in with a C-clamp and come out when I press the brake. Put it all back together and it brakes but will not release. Dear Rocky, Sounds like you need new calipers or possibly the hoses going to the calipers. Apply the brakes, if they don't release open the bleeder valve to see if the caliper is stuck or if there is a blockage keeping the fluid from returning.

April 21, Kim of Smiths, Alabama writes regarding headlights not working on HR Rambler with Chevy My headlights don't come on but all my other lights work. Thinking it might be a fuse but not sure where to look. Dear Kim, Sounds more like the head light switch or bulbs, maybe the dimmer switch.

I don't think your Holiday has a fuse on the headlights. I believe it has a floor mounted dimmer switch on your model year. Check for power in and out of the switch. No power in, back up to head light switch.

If you have power out of the dimmer switch, go to the bulbs. April 21, Bryan of Maxwell, Iowa writes regarding blinkers and brake lights not working in newly purchased Fleetwood Mallard class A with Chevy When I bought this RV the blinkers and brake lights weren't working, but the man who sold it to me had them fixed before I picked it up. He said it was some kind of fuse or something. Now they have stopped again, I imagine it's the same problem, but I don't know where that fuse would be, the only fuse box I can find is for the entire electrical system of the RV, like outlets, lights, fridges.

I haven't found anything where a fuse would be for blinker lights. Do you know where to look? Dear Bryan, It should be located under the dash on the driver's side.

I have seen them over the dog house under the dash as well. April 20, Jeff of Charlotte, North Carolina writes regarding fuel leak with Itasca Sunflyer I've got a fuel leak coming from what appears to be the fuel regulator.

It is about 3 inches in front of the fuel pump on the passenger side. It connects to the fuel pump by a straight threaded pipe and the fuel line with a metal fitting. Is that the fuel regulator or something else? Dear Jeff, It is the fuel pressure regulator. If you can't find a GM replacement you can get a Holley after market regulator from a local speed shop.

April 20, Beth of Clarendon, Texas writes regarding motor home with Dodge that will idle, but die if put into gear We have replaced the fuel pump and lines on this vehicle. It will idle, but when you put it in gear it dies. My son is trying to get it moved to a location in the oil field where he is working. I have suggested a good supply of fuel filters as the vehicle has been setting for several years. Is Mom crazy or could this be a possible fix?

Would appreciate any GOOD advice besides burning it. He needs a place to sleep. Dear Beth, If he replaced the lines and pump he should have replaced the filters. He could have a bad ignition module causing low spark. Also, check for big vacuum leaks and a really dirty carburetor. April 18, Jo of White Pigeon, Michigan writes regarding auxiliary battery charged and reinstalled incorrectly in Tioga with Chevy P30 chassis I recently had my auxiliary battery charged and when it was put back into the front apparently he put the cables back on wrong.

In turn, my gas gauge has stopped working, my running lights won't come on, my parking lights won't come on and I smelled burning plastic inside the camper. I now have black streaks going across my inside roof where wiring should be. I immediately changed the battery cables to the way they should be but I think the damage was already done.

I checked all fuses, all are fine. I have no idea what else I am suppose to do now, but now my auxiliary battery won't keep a charge like it use to. Dear Jo, Start checking fuses on the chassis side first, running lights, parking lights, gas gauge, that's all on the chassis side.

Then you will have to test the battery to see if the battery shorted or if there is a problem with the charging system. April 16, Trish of Hudson, Wisconsin writes regarding fresh water tank not accepting water When filling the fresh water tank it will not accept the water. Is there an air vent or valve that I should be checking?

And if so, where would it be? Dear Trish, Yes, there is a vent tube that runs from the top of the tank to the filler spout where you fill the tank. The plastic strap that holds the cap for the fresh water fill is usually the plug for the vent line and should be removed while filling. April 16, James of Effort, Pennsylvania writes regarding location of horn in class A Mallard on John Deere chassis with Ford engine Location of horn.

Can't find under hood. There is one on roof. If that is it how do I replace? Also, just replaced bulbs in tail light all work as far as brakes and turn signal but the back driver side does not go on for just running lights at night w What could be problem?

Dear James, That's probably your only horn on the roof, if you can't see one out front in behind the grill any place. The horn is screwed down to the roof and it's probably an air horn. Make sure you're getting air to the horn. You could have a bad socket or broken wire to your tail light. April 15, Terry of Moscow, Idaho writes regarding Winnebago Chieftain with Chevy blowing fuses when shifted into overdrive Why does my Winnebago Chieftain blow fuses when I shift into overdrive?

It drives in "Drive" fine but in overdrive it will soon blow a fuse. Once the fuse is blow, it goes into limp-in mode and only goes 35mph. Changing the fuse does not help. Dear Terry, Have the ECM scanned for trouble codes. It could be a bad solenoid and they did have some problems with the internal wiring harnesses on those transmissions.

You can unplug the wiring harness going into the side of the transmission to see if it's contaminated with fluid. There is an updated wiring harness for it. April 14, Heather of Prince George, British Columbia writes regarding starter problem with Triple E Would there be a problem with our starter? We stopped for gas and when we went back in to start it as we turn the key we had nothing just one click that's all.

We check the solenoids and tapped the starter and got nothing! Dear Heather, It's probably the hot start relay located on the alternator bracket. If your battery voltage and connection is good, it also could be the starter itself. April 13, Peter of Trollhattan, Earth writes regarding Winnebago Itasca with GM 6.

I had a problem a year ago, but then it ended up with the classic sensor problem that could be seen on the speedometer. Since then it worked like a dream. Now the speedometer is correct and i have no "transmission" blinking on dashboard, it lights up on ignition and goes out when it starts up.

Reverse, normal, works fine but it stays on second gear? I can't shift to first gear. Oil checked of course. Dear Peter, You need to have the ECM scanned for trouble codes to see if it's an electronic failure or a hard part internal break down. There was a problem with the internal wiring harnesses on those transmissions. April 12, Lyle of Chattanooga, Tennessee writes regarding what type transmission he has in Tioga E with Ford How do I find transmission type for this vehicle?

Whether it is a C6 or a E40D. Dear Lyle, If it's a three speed transmission it's a C6; if it has OD, then it's an E40D. There will be a button on the shifter or dash to turn on the OD. April 12, Carl of Gilbertville, Iowa writes regarding fuel problems in Tioga with Ford I'm having fuel problems. How can I tell if I have power to the fuel pump? Also, where is the regulator located?

Dear Carl, You should have a fuel pump relay mounted on the driver's side radiator support. You can check for power out to the pump there. It should be a heavy, orange wire. I can't remember off the top of my head where the regulator is on that '87, I believe it is on the fuel rail. April 11, Thomas of Nashville, Tennessee writes regarding batteries not charging when plugged into shore power in Foretravel Grandville Current owner assures me chassis and power train are in excellent working order with all new appliances.

When plugged into shore power battery's aren't recharging? Am interested in purchasing for my family just want to be able to research how much is involved in straightening out this issue?

Dear Thomas, If the only problem is the batteries not charging when plugged into shore power it really should not be unreasonable to repair but it could cost from pennies to the thousands, depending on parts.

April 11, Cody of Sagle, Idaho writes regarding chassis on Coachmen I'd like to know what cab Ford used to build this motor home so I can have better luck finding parts to fit it.

Would engine parts for a Bronco fit my motor home? Dear Cody, Yes, it was an E Econoline cut away unit. Some of your Bronco parts might fit; depends on what you're wanting to use and if the engines are the same size. April 11, Jay of Tunbridge, Vermont writes regarding problems with headlights in Winnebago Chieftain with Ford Having issues with headlights. Will not turn on when engine running. When engine is off it turns on when pull headlight switch.

All other lights works brake lights, turn signal lights. Is it the circuit breaker? Need to upgrade to heavy gauge wiring? Tried to download PDF file from Winnebago web site with wiring diagrams, all images are blank. Dear Jay, Sounds like maybe you have a problem with the ignition switch; if the headlights are working before turning the switch on but won't work when the key is on.

April 10, Larry of Lassalle, Ontario writes regarding Winnebago with Chevy bogging down Runs fine starting off, maybe in one mile will start bogging down would pull over shut down. Would restart and everything fine for rest of run.

Dear Larry, It's possible that there is a problem with the pick up tube or delivery pump in the tank. And that when you first start out you're using what fuel is in the lines and it bogs down and shuts off just before the fresh prime in the lines makes it to the carburetor. April 9, Darrell of Pahrump, Nevada writes regarding fixing broken four way hazard light switch in Fleetwood Tioga Arrow with Chevrolet chassis I have a broken 4 way hazard light switch.

Any ideas how to fix it or where to get the part or parts for it? Dear Darrell, You have to pull the steering wheel for access. It should be a GM part. April 9, James of California writes regarding looking for parts for Southwind with Ford Location of the gas sending unit, Also, looking for the hinges for screen door; not the whole door, just the hinge, just the three brackets on the screen door.

Also, the coach is under powered. Is there anything to give the more power? Dear James, The sending unit is in the gas tank. Your local parts dealer should be able to get the hinges for you. There are many options to give the Ford more power. Check out the Gale Banks and TTS The Turbo Shopweb sites. April 7, Bob of Portland, Oregon writes regarding problems running generator in Dolphin with Chevy drive train Had fuel tank re-lined, new fuel filters, sending unit rebuilt, new fuel pump, then genset ran for a bit.

We went back to run it again and it starved out. Runs fine from other gas source. New shop thinks it is not connected correctly, but it did run fine when it was at the last shop! Old shop wants to drop the tank again, and if they did something wrong they will take care of it but it looks like I am going to lose a lot of fuel again and probably start all over.

Should I take the gamble? Can the genset be safely connected to the engine supply line? Dear Bob, I would suggest dropping the tank and connecting it properly.

Look at the fuel line from the generator to the tank. If it's cracked up, it should be replaced. April 7, Andy of New York writes regarding speedometer quit working in Bounder with Chevy Speedo stopped working today. Was fine yesterday and cruise control worked.

Do you know if there is fuse for this and can you tell me where the sending unit is? I looked but can't find it. Dear Andy, I am not sure if that is an over drive transmission or not; it's in a transitional spot early '90'swhen they changed. But I believe G. April 7, Wes of Ohio writes regarding replacement Firestone air bags on rear of Winnebago with Workhorse chassis My motor home has the Firestone airbags on the rear.

They look like they where factory installed and I need part number of the system so I can get a replacement bag. Dear Wes, I have no part number but you can look at the bag and look at a Firestone replacement chart and pick out the right air bag. If you're dealing with a part supplier the chart is with the application guide. April 5, Fran of Philadelphia, PA writes regarding loosing brakes after hearing loud popping noise while running 65 mph with Winnebago with Chevy While traveling at 65 mph I heard a loud popping sound which I believed was a flat tire.

I visually checked the tires, and then I noticed the brake light was on in the dash board. I checked the brake pedal and found I had no brakes! My mechanic phone conversationsaid it may be the master cylinder. Dear Fran, I would look at all the calipers to see if maybe one was hanging and blew. Do you have a parking brake now? I don't know how the master cylinder would cause your popping noise.

I would question belts if your power steering got hard. April 5, Terry of Lennox, South Dakota writes regarding Winnebago Chieftain acting like it's out of fuel when hot or going up hills Overhauled carb, replaced fuel pump, filters, and cleaned, blew through lines. Acts like runs out of fuel when hot, going up hills, etc. I want to add a lift pump back by the tank as I was told they retrofitted some to fix this issue. Not sure what to use. Dear Terry, You probably have a bad fuel pump relay in the tank and it is not working.

If you want to add an electric fuel pump back at the tank you can install a Holley red or blue pump but you will need a relay or pressure regulator so dj sava moneymaker lyrics don't create a flooding problem at idle. April 5, Robert of State Line, Mississippi writes regarding location of brake fluid reservoir in Elite on Chevrolet P30 chassis with engine Where is the brake reservoir located?

Dear Robert, Left front wheel well. April 4, William of Leesburg, Georgia writes regarding troubles with turn signal and brake lights in Fleetwood Southwind on Ford chassis We are having trouble with left turn signal and brake light. We have check the fuses under the dash and all are good. Also, we have checked the bulbs and they are also okay. What terminologies in forex trading can we do to fix this problem?

Dear William, Check the turn signal switch. Check the fuses under the hood in the Ford panel also. And inspect the wiring going from the main wiring harness in the rear to the tail lights and turn signal flasher. April 3, George of Earth writes regarding getting better gas mileage with Chevy engine I have a Fleetwood Bounder on a Chevy chassis with a Chevy cid engine.

What, in your opinion, would be about the best rear end gear ration to get the best gas mileage? Really curious about the best way to gain the most mileage. The typing jobs from home in guwahati really thirsty. Dear George, I can't remember if they had switched over the overdrive transmission in or not. If not, and even if they did, you might want to look at a Gear Vendor for controlling and improving the gear ratio.

You might also look at a free flowing exhaust kit for maintenance and enhanced performance and fuel economy. Changing the gear ratio in the rear end might not be the best answer. March 31, Milton of Shreveport, Louisiana writes regarding loose wire in engine bay of Fleetwood with Chevy I bought this motor home a month or so ago. It is in pretty good shape, except my current problem is there is a gray dirty whitewire that is hanging loose in the engine bay.

It goes to the electric fan relay. When I touch it to positive, fans run. I thought if I spliced it to the AC clutch, it would run with AC on. It only runs if the AC is OFF. Where does that wire go?

Dear Milton, Look for a fan relay located on the radiator support near fan or above on the firewall. March 31, Bill of Atlanta, Georgia writes regarding wanting to lower rpms in Georgie Boy How will i sell my royal mail shares Air II with Chevy Is there an overdrive equivalent for the transmission in my Georgie Boy Cruise Air II?

February 7, Joshua of Strasburg, Colorado writes regarding air conditioner fuse location in Fleetwood Southwind Air conditioning fuse location Dear Joshua, Chassis fuse panel; marked "heater" or "blower". February 7, Tammie of Edmonton, Alberta writes regarding blowing head gasket on Triple E with Chevy Just blew what I suspect as the head gasket.

Fluids such as oil and coolant are mixing so that's pretty well the diagnosis. Head is inside vehicle under doghouse closest to driver's side. Wondering how extensive it is to fix this labor wise and what is needed to do so? Can I find this procedure on the web site? Having difficulty finding a dino mechanic and was wondering if one was mechanically inclined, if I could do it myself.

Much appreciated and extremely important needed info, as my employment counts on it. Dear Tammie, A good mechanic can get in there and repair it. If the oil pan has to come off, it's easier to pull the engine.

February 6, Bruce of Thorold, Ontario writes regarding braking issues with 34' Winnebago Adventure on Oshkosh chassis and Cummins drive train I feel that I require too much applied brake peddle pressure in a quick stop application of the brakeswhich could put us in a serious situation, in stop and go driving city.

I understand the hydraulic pressure to the booster is from the power steering pump. I'm going to change the oil Is there any adjustment on the spoolto help with the increased oil flow from the pump steeringto add more pressure on the master cylinder? Or what do you think I should be looking for to lesson this applied pressure on braking? Dear Bruce, Instead of changing the oil in the pump, I would flush the brake fluid, clean and lubricate the brake caliper slide rails and check the pivot points of the brake linkage to make sure it's moving freely.

February 6, Jeff of Trabuco Canyon, California writes regarding Bounder with Ford occasionally not wanting to start During my last trip the RV would occasionally not start.

Turn the key and nothing, no dash lights or electrical of any kind. Moving around the shift knob and jiggling the key the RV would start as normal and run great.

Upon retuning home It would not start regardless of how much key jiggling, etc. I did, There was no electrical. If I use the auxiliary power button the engine will reluctantly start and the dash lights come on but the engine will not run properly.

It chokes and smokes and diesels until I shut it off. The truck and coach batteries are relatively new and both hold a charge. I have searched around the web and have found nothing helpful. Dear Jeff, You're losing power coming into the ignition until the auxiliary start is pushed. I would check all the maxi fuses, the chassis battery disconnect solenoid and bulk head connector of the main wiring harness going through the firewall.

February 6, Ken of Ocala, Florida writes regarding replacing ignition switch without a key in Winnebago with Chevy How do you replace the ignition switch WITHOUT the KEY? Winnebago WCN 31RT Motor home with GMC P30 chassis where the switch is in the dash. Dear Ken, If you don't have a key, you will have to break out the tumbler to get the bezel off.

A small slide hammer works well. February 3, Bob of Biloxi, Mississippi writes regarding steps, back up camera and rear air ride lift pump stopped working in Winnebago Vectra with Chevrolet Electric steps, back up camera and rear air ride lift pump stopped working. Steps still work with switch at door, but not from ignition.

All of the fuses are good for each component. Is there a relay or separate power source that comes from the ignition that I'm overlooking? Dear Bob, Could be a small 12 volt breaker in the box with the battery isolator solenoid; driver's side fire wall. Look real close, some of them have a very small pin on the side to reset the breaker. February 3, "Wit's End" of Township, Pennsylvania writes regarding location of fuel pump assist relay in Winnebago with Chevy Is there a relay for the assist fuel pump?

The unit was parked for a few years. It was low on fuel when I purchased it so I just filled the tank with fresh fuel. It ran good for about a year. This year it will run really strong for about 6 or 7 miles.

It will shut down, and as you coast along it will restart itself with a slight backfire. Seems to shut off under load. I'm at my wits end. Dear Wit's End, Inside the engine dog house next to the driver's foot.

February 2, Patrick of Northridge, California writes regarding how to check brake fluid in Winnebago with Dodge It's a single piston system.

I need to check the brake fluid level, I had inside carpeted. I noticed driver's side under carpet is a plywood floor board, is that the access panel? Dear Patrick, It was on some of them. You might be able to get it from the wheel well. February 1, Rich of Oregon City, Oregon writes regarding brake applying when turning steering wheel in Pace Arrow with Chevy I put a new power steering pump in because the other one was leaking.

I hadn't driven it for a year and a half working on different things. Went to drive to get new DEQ tested, found brakes locking up on me. While I was moving it around noticed every time I turned the steering wheel the brake pedal went down, applying brakes.

All the hoses seemed to go back just like before and fittings only fit on certain ports. Could you give me some ideas as what might be the problem? Dear Rich, It must have a hydrostatic brake booster and if you have all the hoses correct, then it must have air trapped in the system. You can try getting the weight off the front axle and turn the steering wheel back and forth, lock to lock, with the engine running to work the air out of the system. January 30, Stan of Las Vegas, Nevada writes regarding RV smoking badly after installing new master cylinder on brakes in Pace Arrow with Dodge I just installed a new master cylinder.

When I step on the brakes the RV smokes like it is on fire. I believe brake fluid is being sucked into the intake.

I let it run with the foot off the brake and smoke clears up. Is there a check valve sticking or is it being sucked through brake booster? Dear Stan, It's being sucked through the brake booster.

January 30, David of Titusville, Florida writes regarding replacing old gasoline in Allegro It had old gas. I took old gas out and blew out the lines; put new gas in, but the lines are not full. What do I do? Dear David, Crank it over to prime the systems. The fuel pump should run to prime the system when you turn the key on. You might have to cycle the key on and off several times.

January 30, Wade of Okotoks, Alberta writes regarding nothing working inside Fleetwood Southwind when auxiliary batteries are on Nothing works on the inside of my motor home when on auxiliary batteries even though they charge fine and hold a charge everything works fine. If I'm plugged into shore power or running the generator this problem is intermittent and it is not because the disconnect switch is engaged.

Dear Wade, You have a disconnect solenoid that has to be engaged to supply power from the batteries. If the solenoid is good and you're getting power through it, go to the power convertor or fuse panel to see if you're getting power from the battery. The manufacturer could have an air line breaker between the solenoid and the connection inside. January 30, Grant of Fort Morgan, Colorado writes regarding idling problem with Winnebago Chieftain with Chevy Bought this '89 about a month ago and drove miles and ran fine.

Suddenly it developed an idling problem when I start it runs for a while and dies. It runs if you give it fuel and when I drive it runs until you coast or stop then it dies. Dear Grant, I would start checking vacuum hoses to see if they are busted. January 30, Nancy of Gallup, New Mexico writes regarding Komfort motor home with Chevy dying if any stress is put on the engine My motor home dies if it has stress on the engine.

It won't go up a hill or go over 35 mph. If I give it any gas it will choke out and die. I had the gas pump replaced, it still has the same problem. The mechanic told me I had to clean out the gas tank that the sock type filter is clogged. I have a 96 gallon gas tank. Is there anyway to clean it out with removing it?

Dear Nancy, No, there is no way to clean the tank without removing it. It has a fuel pump relay that powers up the delivery pump in the tank; that should be checked first. January 29, Steve of Louisville, Kentucky writes regarding location of converter in Fleetwood Jamboree Batteries will not charge when unit is plugged in. Need to know location of converter. Dear Steve, Start looking under sofa, beds, in cabinets, etc. It should be located behind a vented louveredpanel for air flow.

It may be part of the breaker and fuse box. Sometimes they are behind the same vented panel for the refrigerator. January 28, Brad of Lawton, Oklahoma writes regarding Minnie Winnie bogging down on large upgrades I have a Econometer from Sunpro installed on the steering column.

It helps with saving on fuel. When I go up any large upgrades the motor home bogs down to a very low speed. It won't let me do any acceleration to get the speed up. The speed I'm talking about is 25 MPH to 12 MPH. I have pulled over to let it rest for an hour and it will do fine for a little bit. After the little bit it will start doing it again.

I'm not sure if it is the Econometer that is causing the problem or a fuel delivery problem. It could be also a vacuum problem also because the Ecometer only has a wire for power and a vacuum hose that goes to the engine. Dear Brad, It's not your meter. It's a fuel delivery problem. Possibly fuel filters or an electric delivery fuel pump, possibly in the tank causing the problem. No air conditioning people that I have talked to know the right parts and part numbers.

I have looked at a couple of other Chevy chassis RV's of the same vintage and they have the same system I do so I believe that is the proper system for those years. I sure hope you can help me. Dear Michael, Take the model and serial number off the compressor and dryer. You have to go to a parts store or take the parts with you and match them up.

You can look on the AC box outside and see; it's probably an Evans unit. January 26, Dave of Long Beach, California writes regarding function of 3 prong voltage regulator next to wiper motor on Four Star mini-motor home with Dodge A green 3 prong voltage regulator with H8D imprinted on it mounted next to the wiper motor has had the insulation melt.

What does it run and what could I use for a replacement? Dear Dave, You need to determine first if it was actually the voltage regulator or the module for the emission system. If it's the voltage regulator and your alternator is not charging you can switch it to an alternator with a built in regulator.

January 26, Paul of Lakeside, California writes regarding looking for transmission control module for Allegro Bay diesel Need to find a transmission control module for a Allegro Bay diesel. Dear Paul, Any Allison transmission shop should be able to help you. You could also try some on line salvage yards.

January 26, Dieter of Lumby, British Columbia writes regarding intermittent starting Crossair with Ford 7. Dear Dieter, You can check the ignition switch located on the steering column inside the coach, near the floor; or check the neutral switch on the side of the transmission. January 25, Mark of Vancouver, Washington writes regarding where to find emergency brake cable for Pace Arrow on P30 Chevy chassis Need an ebrake cable, original.

Took out Gear Vendor and need a shorter originalcable.

Dear Mark, The original cable should be there. They added an extension to the cable when the Gear Vendor was installed, about 18 inches long. January 25, John of Mentor, Ohio writes regarding not being able to get Freedom motor home to start up with Ford Econoline I have class C Ford Freedom motor home which I can't find any manuals or info on.

It has a motor. It is an Econoline I can't get the engine to fire. Cranks over but I don't think it is getting gas to the carb. Fuel pump is working. Is there a fuel filter or filters in line or in carb? Dear John, There should be a filter along the frame rail and also in the carburetor at the fuel line connector.

January 23, Mary of Ely, Nevada writes regarding how to access water leak under shower in Georgie Boy I have a water leak under the shower in the bathroom but I can't get to the leak from in side of the motor home. There is a door that leads to the plumbing for the shower but there is no room to get in to it. I need to get the plumbing diagram for the shower, I have traced all the water lines and not leaks, but the water is leaking from under the shower on the floor of the hall way.

Dear Mary, If you can't access it from the bottom, you either have to open up the floor or remove the shower enclosure. There should be under skirting between the frame rails and the interior floor you can open for access, unless you have cross members, exhaust, etc.

January 23, Brittany of Casper, Wyoming writes regarding grounding something out after tightening bolt on alternator of Sportscoach I was tightening a bolt on the alternator and grounded something out. I was told it's probably the main power fuse but I can't locate it. Dear Brittany, Check the fuse links.

I don't know what chassis you have. The fuse links are usually connected to a solenoid. January 22, Howard of Easthampton, Massachusetts writes regarding location of fuel pump relay on Minnie Winnie with Ford Where is the fuel pump relay located? Dear Howard, Should be on the radiator support by the batteries or horn.

January 21, Diana of Texas writes regarding not being able to find fuse box for Dutchmen with E I can not find the fuse box for the chassis. It is not where we have read online. Such as under the brake or on side panel on driver side.

Help just need to replace fuse which has drove us crazy for two days. Dear Diana, Pull the carpet back or floor mat, someone may have covered it. The chassis fuse panel is on the driver's side back toward the fire wall by the emergency brake.

January 21, Rick of Reno, Nevada writes regarding location of fuel filters in Sportscoach with Chevy Where are the fuel filters located? Dear Rick, Along the outside of the frame rail and a carburetor inlet.

January 21, Sim of Lexington, North Carolina writes regarding finding wiring diagram for Dodge motor home with engine I am looking for a wiring diagram and a fuel sending unit.

Dear Sim, Can't help with the wiring diagram, but you might be able to get a sending unit from Transfer Flow fuel tanks. Dear Sandra, Solution would be new belts adjusted to the proper tension so they won't slip. Also, if you change all of your batteries after sitting for a year, before you start the engine, there will be less strain on the belts.

Set for two years or more. My real question is when I drive it for a while and park it smells like gasoline, and I look, no leak or anything, but floods easy.

Maybe to much fuel in the carburetor? Should I replace every rubber line. Motor runs strong and starts up first key pull, but if I drive a lot, it tends to not start so fast like it's flooded.

Would love your advice. Dear Harry, Usually your problem is the carburetor. The float bowl on those will start leaking and it runs good; but when you turn off the warm or hot engine it continues to dump fuel in the intake manifold causing the smell and flooded hot start. Octane boost might help with lowering the temperature gauge.

January 17, Gary of Grass Valley, California writes regarding Thor Pinnacle with Chevy failing fuel evaporation portion of smog test We failed the fuel evaporation portion of the smog test. Diagnosis suggests that a hose connected to the fuel filler neck is bad. Mechanic said dropping the fuel tank wasn't an option.

He tried to pull the neck and hose out through the fuel door. Wondering what to try next? It's under the toilet, but the toilet is over the waste water tank.

Any notions about solutions would be appreciated. Dear Gary, If you can't pull it out the front, you have to do what it takes to make access to remove it. January 16, Larry of Canton, Georgia writes regarding rewiring torn out ignition in Fleetwood Tioga with Dodge chassis The ignition had been torn out of the column when I bought the coach.

I replacing it with a simple dash switch. What wires do I hook up from column to fire both cab and coach panels? Getting fire at cab panel, but can't get fuel from tank because fuel pump fuse is in coach panel. Do I need the secondary battery to complete the circuit? The coach will start and idle, until you put load on by acceleration, then starves out and dies.

Please help, I'm lost here. Dear Larry, There really shouldn't be an igniter wire for the coach side; but if they did put in an ignition powered fuse panel on the coach side, it will be trial and error to find the wire or run a new wire. January 13, Rosanne of Baldwin Park, California writes regarding where to put power steering fluid in Pace Arrow Where do I put the power steering fluid?

Dear Rosanne, The reservoir should be outside on the fire wall. Normally next to the radiator. January 12, Richard of California writes regarding Sea Eagle with Chevy P30 chassis sometimes stalling on grades Intermittent stalling on grades.

If I remove air cleaner and push down on top rear flap of carburetor it will start back up, run for a while then stall on a hill. Is this a fuel pump problem or carburetor issue? I replaced the inline fuel filter on the chassis and the problem remains. Dear Richard, It could be a bad pump in the rear or the pick up tube in the tank has rotted. January 11, Darlene of Scappoose, Oregon writes regarding finding carburetor for Itasca with Chevy I am looking for a carburetor for my Itasca motor home.

Any ideas where I can purchase one? Dear Darlene, Go to your local parts store and get an Edelbrock replacement for it. January 11, Wez writes regarding fuel problem with Ford Econoline with E I have a problem getting fuel from the tank to the fuel pump on the chassis under the drivers side. Where do the lift pumps in the tanks get there power from?

The fuel pump reset switch, does it control the lift pumps and the pressure pump drivers side on chassis? Dear Wez, On your F, if you have a fuel pump on the frame rail then you shouldn't have pumps in the tank and you probably have a problem with the pickup tube in the fuel tank or cracked fuel lines going to the tank. January 10, James of California writes regarding whether air conditioner is R or R, getting both air conditioners to run simultaneously, and increasing horse power in Southwind on John Deere chassis First, where can I get the screen door hinges?

Second, is the air conditioning R or R? Third, it has a 30 amp plug and when I plug it in only one air conditioner works but when I run the gen set 7kw it runs two. How can I make both air conditioners work at once? When I plug it in can it be rewired for a 50 amp plug? Also, the Ford has only hp what can I do to boost the horse power to or hp with out pulling the motor out and will the C6 three speed take the xtra hp?

Dear James, R12 is what is in the unit if it has not been changed over already. You can get hinges from a RV parts supply. Only one air conditioner should run off the 30 amp. Camping World sells a unit you can put in and run both airs, but only one at a time; it will surge back and forth automatically between the two air conditioners. And yes, you could rewire it. There are many options for increasing the horse power.

The C6 will hold, up to a limit. January 9, Kevin of Orange, California writes regarding replacement vacuum hose connection for dash AC in Winnebago with Chevy I am looking for a replacement vacuum hose connection for my dash AC. The connector is plastic and about the size of a nickel. Is there anywhere that stocks and sells these "vintage" parts? Dear Kevin, I don't know where to tell you to look.

You could try an Internet search engine for "RV Salvage yards" but then if you find one, what kind of condition will it be in? Two hours to sit down and figure out the routing and hook up the hoses and get things working properly is fair time. January 8, Ryharris of Mission, British Columbia writes regarding brake booster on one ton GMC Chevy Van with Which brake booster is on my motor home?

Dear Ryharris, I am guessing on theit's a vacuum booster. Some of the newer units used a hydraulic booster. January 7, Mike of Santa Clarita, California writes regarding taking out rear running lights on Tioga while soldering a wire I was changing out front roof marker lights, needed to tack a wire with solder while lights were on and all the rear running lights on coach went out.

Cannot find the fuse. The Ford running lights work fine and switch seems good. Ford based fuse under hood for trailer lights seems good and under the dash for running lights good. Seems to be continuity through the system. I have to believe there is an inline fuse somewhere but not able to find. Dear Mike, If your tail lights are working then it's not a fuse. You might have to start at the head light switch; if the fuse is good and you have no tail lights to make sure you have power out of the switch, and to determine if you have shorted a wire to the rear.

January 6, Ernie of Marana, Arizona writes regarding trouble shooting brake system on Fleetwood Southwind with Ford on John Deere chassis How do I troubleshoot the brake system on this RV? I have no pedal feel on the brakes. All I've done is change all the brake pads. Now the brakes are very soft. Did I do something wrong? Dear Ernie, The trouble shooting is standard hydraulic braking. I would start by bleeding the brakes. January 6, Tammy of Nielton, Washington writes regarding location of hydraulic reservoir in Gulf Stream Classic I need to find the location of the hydraulic reservoir for the leveling system.

Dear Tammy, All I can say is start crawling around under it until you find it. It should be located between the body and outside of the frame rail. January 4, Curtis writes regarding losing power to fuse box in GMC with Chevrolet chassis I lost all power to fuse box and the engine won't start. Is there a master fuse?

Where do I start looking for the problem? Dear Curtis, Battery connections, disconnect switching fuse links at starter and hard start solenoid, bulk head connector on wiring harness through fire wall, ignition switch.

January 3, Ike of Wheeling, West Virginia writes regarding backup lights not working in Coachmen Catalina with Chevy My backup lights will not work. Bulbs okay, fuse okay. I can not find switch or what ever makes lights operate. Dear Ike, If it's not on the neutral switch, it's on the side of the transmission; a single wire plug.

January 3, Alan of Concord, North Carolina writes regarding dismay over five hours labor to drop gas tank in Allegro with Chevy chassis I was quoted five hours of labor to drop the gas tank and replace the gas line that has dry rotted.

Is there any other way to get to it without dropping the tank? What if I cut a hole in the floor? Seems much easier to me. Dear Alan, You will spend more time cutting through the floor and trying to patch it back. Five hours is fair. January 2, Jeff of Ocklawaha, Florida writes regarding Pace Arrow with Chevy that won't start It won't start.

I used to hear a humming when I turned the key on, then it would start. Now there is no noise and it won't start. Does it have an electric fuel pump; and if so, where? Dear Jeff, Most of the old GM chassis had an electric pump in the tank.

But Fleetwood was good about putting an external pump back next to the fuel tank. You should also have a manual pump on the engine. I do know there are two additional wires that are there on the tongue of the trailer. I am assuming where there was one before.

Also, does using this batter power the outlets? Dear Jennie, I believe you're talking converter and not inverter. The battery does not power up the outlets unless there actually is an inverter wired in. The two wires on the tongue of the trailer should be your ground and positive cables, and the convertor should already be in line.

Top Travel Trailers April 29, Corey of Regina, Saskatchewan writes regarding hooking up water in Taurus travel trailer I am trying to hook up the water in my Taurus travel trailer. I'm wondering is there a switch to turn on the water pump when I need to use it? Or does it run on some sort of pressure valve when I turn the faucet?

Dear Corey, It could be either. You will need to find the pump and see if it's electric a hand pump. April 19, R of Depoe Bay, Oregon writes regarding not being able to find fuse box in Comfort trailer A friend in our RV park can't find the fuse box for his Comfort trailer to get the refrigerator to work. It could have in line barrel fuses. If you're lucky, maybe in the battery box or behind the refrigerator.

April 4, Cathy of Oshawa, Ontario writes regarding hand cranked roof vent in Golden Falcon The large hand cranked vent clasp broke and then the wind ripped off our vent. It is approximately 23 inches a larger vent on these older trailers. I have been unsuccessful in locating a replacement.

We will more than likely have to replace the whole vent. Can you please advise me where to go to purchase this? I would like to try and find one a little cheaper. Right now us crazy Canadians and our duct tape, is covered with a plastic garbage bag and ducted taped.

It has not leaked in the past two summers, but would very much like that vent opened for airing out the trailer. Dear Cathy, Your local RV parts should be able to help. Ask for an escape hatch, instead of a vent.

March 23, Doug of Superior, Wisconsin writes regarding DC side fuses blowing in Mallard Fuse in the DC side of panel keeps blowing The hood fan and the antenna booster each is a separate how do i trace down the shorts? Dear Doug, Pull the booster and the fan to see if the units are shorted or if it's in the wiring.

March 12, Dale of Arkansas City, Kansas writes regarding no 12 volt power unless plugged in with Gulf Stream Innsbruck travel trailer I do not have any 12 volt power unless plugged in; not even leveling jacks. Dear Dale, Check your connection at the battery and the ground to the frame. And look for an in-line breaker on the positive wire between the battery and usually before it enters the trailer.
