General Discussion / Re: Changes to Online Pricing
« on: January 29, 2018, 11:09:14 am »
I am sure one of the driving reasons to not post prices is to force the potential shopper to engage with a sales person at PC. Like others that is one huge reason I liked the factory direct model because you do not have to "nickel and dime" with a sales person like purchasing a car and sales person having to check with his/her sales manager. My bet is PC is looking at getting back into the dealer game and do not want to advertise what costs might be? Unit output is the name of the game and getting units out the door and onto dealer lots sure ups the unit numbers.

I think it is a very good option to consider but night time access to the bathroom I am afraid would not be to cute for my wife and myself!!!

« on: December 05, 2017, 08:14:04 pm »
Volkmen..I agree 150% with Jatrax that the step leak is your greatest concern for rot will start very fast. Water can come from anywhere but we all know it runs down hill and therefore ends up on the bottom step. I would look around the awning anchors to see if there might be some leakage coming in around some lags or where the awning remote wire comes thru the wall. I would go up from there to see if there is not a separation somewhere on the roof? Best of luck.

The RVi battery tender has nothing to do with the Invisbrake system, if you run the Invisbrake system long enough without starting the Honda you will have dead battery. Merely running a hot wire to the battery will keep the battery charged all right but there is nothing to keep the Honda battery from being over charged. The battery tender keeps over charging from occurring. Just my 2 cnts.

General Discussion / New Chassis
« on: November 28, 2017, 12:52:00 pm »
Folks:
Just read that in 2019 Feightliner will be offering a new front gas engine chassis for RV application (class A). 16,000-19,500 GVW, with a new 6..0L gas engine that will turn out approx. 310 HP with decent torque. The new engine will get 15% better MPG compared to current RV based engines (Ford). One must wonder if there might be a new Class C chassis in Feightliners future?

Janey....You do have to be careful these days in that any toad with electric assisted power steering (like the new Jeep Cherokee) must have a constant supply of power to the vehicle to keep pressure on the wheels so that they do not go into a "death wobble" going down the road. The key does not need to be (in the case of the Jeep) on for the power to be supplied. With this kind of power supply need it does not take long to drain the battery down. Wiring diretly is OK but I would hate to over charge the toad battery so there for the need for a product like RVi brake buddy.

Install a RViBrake tender to the Honda. Run a wire from the PC's one constant (7 pin connecter) "hot wire" to the RVIBrake tender and then two wires hitch to the Honda battery. The RVi acts like a regulator and does not allow the battery to be over charged. Best $50.00 you will spend and a 1/2 hour installation

General Discussion / Re: Rear Trac Bar
« on: November 09, 2017, 06:37:36 pm »
Sailors35.....On two occasions I attempted to install a Blue Ox trac bar on my 3100. Both attempts were a disaster!! Attempting to do the installation myself was one problem and just way to much "stuff" running along the frame rails made it very tough. If you go the trac bar route have some one do the installation. The front and rear sway bars are a very easy DIY task compared to the trac bar. good luck

« on: November 01, 2017, 10:58:27 am »
Luvshack.....I hoping more owners will chime in to help Loveshack with his issue.....I know there is a setting in that thermostat that will prevent the heat strip from coming on with the furnace but it has been to long since I had my PC (his!) to recall what and where the toggle is...I know it does have something to do with the "auto" setting. Thanks, RAG

General Discussion / Re: Black valve light
« on: October 25, 2017, 01:31:02 pm »
Donc13 is on the right track, while your issue may be debris building up that prevents the gate valve from closing completely and shutting the light off. My bet is your trouble is in the box itself. A lot of moisture in that area and water and power do not mix well. I would spray inside the box with electrode cleaner or other spray and work the switch back and forth. Still do your flush routine for sure, and adjust the handle push rod to make sure enough pressure is being placed on the valve to close it completely. best of luck

Thanks for the compliment LuvShack! It makes me feel very good knowing my PC went to a great home with you. Who knows if Mr. Byrnes and the crew come up with some larger coaches on a chassis other than the E-450 I may come back to the family!

You can/could weigh each side of your coach separately and get the four corner weights. The issue with most Cat scales that I have seen is they have like a ten inch curb along the sides so you can not easily straddle. best on luck

Telecom....my 3100 fully loaded was within 900lbs of max. I like a little more safety zone, the front was very close to max as I recall. Best of luck.
