General Discussion / I hit the trifecta of broken thingies on this trip!

« on: August 02, 2022, 08:44:50 am »

  
Hot water heater wouldn't fire on propane. Thank goodness it did work on electric.
City water ran strong for about 30 seconds then slowed to a trickle. Filled the water tank and used the pump.
On the last day of the trip the door latch failed and we couldn't open the door. Thank goodness it failed on the last day. Climbing over the driver and passenger seat is no fun.
Looks like I have a few repairs to make.

General Discussion / Re: Clear coat peeling off the front cap.

« on: July 25, 2022, 08:11:19 am »

I contacted Diamond Shield. Unfortunately the warranty only covers the original owner. I emailed photos and DS quoted $795 to remove the DS from the front cap, hood and rearview mirrors. No guarantee that the paint would not be damaged. I decided to leave the DS as is. I had the cap repainted and clear coated on the sides and from the top down to the PC painted logo. Yes, a band-aid approach but it was all I was willing to spend at this time. Cost was $1500. It was difficult to find a body shop that had a large paint booth.

General Discussion / Re: Wrench Icon and vibration.

« on: June 30, 2022, 03:37:02 pm »

I had a similar episode with my 2012 3100. I believe it was triggered by tapping the brake pedal while the cruise was on. Cruise shut off and wrench icon lit up. Coach would not accelerate above 45mph and there was a vibration. Safely pulled off the road. Shut off the engine. Waited a few minutes. Started it up and drove another 500 miles with no recurrence.  Put a code reader on it and no codes registered. Searched the internet and found articles describing similar episodes stating it could be caused by a dirty gas filter and/or a dirty air filter. My air filter is a KN.
 I cleaned and reoiled the air filter and changed the gas filter. No problems in the last 3000 miles. The gas filter is inexpensive and there's several how-to videos online.
Good luck!

Call Liquid Springs for a list of authorized installers. There might be one close to you. All other repairs on my unit have been done at the factory and I've been very pleased with results.

I'm reside in Florida and Indiana. My solution has been moth balls. Don't put them inside your PC! You'll smell the moth balls forever. I put them under the PC on the ground. Knock on wood...this has worked for me. No smell in the PC.

No problem Ron!
I'll contact the factory and get their opinion on how to proceed.

Ron,
This damage wasn't caused by fire. Could be sun damage after 10 years of outside storage.

2012 Model 3100.
I believe this is the clear coat peeling off the front cap. I was washing the roof when I noticed it. Damage extends from the roof down to the Diamond Shield.
What are my options to repair it?
If I don't repair it will I have more problems later on?

I pulled ours to replace a leaking seal. Very easy job. Very similar to pulling your toilet at home. Look for a youtube video.

I don't know how to prevent this. Mine was stolen November 2020. Our PC is stored at a facility that is fenced, gated. lighted and has security cameras. Thieves cut a hole in the fence and got twelve cats. Cameras were working but the quality of the recording taken at night was very poor and the thieves were not caught. Facility has replaced cameras with better picture quality. Good luck!
