General Discussion / Re: Roof or Windshield Seal Leak

« on: October 04, 2021, 07:57:57 pm »

Up date from 2travel;  after nearly 2 weeks of rain and a drive from Nashville to Bar Harbor, no leaks.  So, I do believe the simple possible cause, bad seal on the windshield was the cause of all.  Okums Razor?   Stay safe and Happy, thanks for all your suggestions,  2travel

Thank you all for your comments.  After thorough caulking everyplace you all mentioned, I went to the replacement windshield installer and had the windshield removed and reinstalled.  The tech found that the seal had seperated in two spots.  He said in a year I would have been able to easily push it out from the inside.  He cleaned and reinstalled. Next drive in the rain should tell me if problem has been solved.  I think the drips out of the ceiling speaker were from the intensity of the rain ( a real frog strangler ) and the speed of driving on the interstate, forcing some of the water up the slope on the plywood above the headliner to get to the speaker opening and thus the drip.  Time will tell.
Thanks again,  2travel

Never had the problem with my 2006 2100 but did get water in the drawer on my 2015 2552 this year.  We had some hard blowing rains so I thought it was a rare occurrence and not alarmed.  I would like to learn if there is a way to avoid in the future so let’s hope an expert has a cure.

OK Forum Fans, here is the update and conclusion
Update, dropped the tank and found that a critter ( read mouse ) chewed through the elbow gas line fitting above the gas tank.  Also found another spot on the gas line had been chewed.
Conclusion, new fitting and gas line and generator runs fine.
Lessons, all critters love to chew on stuff!  In future I will run stabil in every tank that will sit for two months or more to avoid ethenal gumming of the carborator.  I will start and run the generator every thirty days.  I will get the RV out on the road every thirty days to shake the mouse out of the house.  I will put mouse bait and traps outside the coach as well as inside.  I will use peppermint oil as a spray above the gas tank and other places as my Tennessee advisors tell me that Tennessee mice do not like peppermint.
I will hope for the best.
That is about it.  Let me know if questions.  I guess won’t be buying that new set of golf clubs for awhile longer.
Happy travels and best Regards,  2travel

No metal cover on slide out topper?  I noticed after 4 years of ownership and rotting fabric I have none and was told by Factory they order metal covered ones for coaches with full body paint but not for those with lower paint.  Bad news.  Lesson I learned is be more observant and overtreat cover with armor all in hopes of getting more than 4 years out of the replacement.  400 dollar repair

Dave said Ford has the gas tank mounted on the frame with two straps and four bolts and the tank is mounted before Phoenix receives it so if it is to be dropped, best to have ford do it.  Stay tuned, I talk to the ford truck dealer today, August 1st, 2018.

Hi all, thanks for your input.  Still working on problem. Update is runs great out of a gallon gas can.  Vacuum draws no gas from main tank.  Blowing in gas line does not bubble in tank or pressurize gas line due to check valve operation so thought is line has a crack above tank.  May need to have local Ford truck dealer drop tank and replace gas line to generator. I talked to Phoenix today, spoke with General Manager Dave Ponsler, he was terrific, I felt like I was talking with Kermit.  Dave may be coming to the Club meeting in Deluth in September. I will post further developments and progress or lack of.  I almost never use the generator so I am wondering why spend any time or money on it.
I wondered about just switching to solar but have been told solar would not generate enough power to start my standard air conditioner.

Is it possible to install a fuel line shut off valve on the generator fuel line?  Where would be a good spot?
Generator fails to start.  Runs fine with alternate fuel source so fuel is not getting to the generator.  I think I have a faulty fuel line.  Have any of you had this problem?  Any suggestions?  Do I need to drop the tank and replace the fuel line?
Unit is a 2552 new in 2015.
Thanks for any advice.

I am curious, what do you paint experts think of clear coat versus FBP?  Is there a difference, if so what?  Thanks for the education.  2travel

I second the question.  Who uses a cover and what kind can you recommend?
