RE: Zone 2 Air Conditioner is not working
I had the same problem and to correct I replaced the J11 4 wire snap connectors @ the front AC and rear AC units. It normally is a corrosion problem w/ the J11 connectors because they sit where there is moisture up inside of the AC units.

RE: Slide-toppers Replacement-Carefree of Colorado or Other
I took mine off and took them to Tent and Canvas shop and they made duplicates of the original using the existing beading and same type material. Cost about $275 and fit perfect.

RE: From Denver to Rocky Mountain National Park
We go to Estes Park every year and go up 36 thru Boulder and into Lyons. It's an easy drive for your gasser and toad. There is a little stop and go traffic in Boulder but in 15 minutes you will be thru it and on you way @ 55-60 mph to Lyons, then up the mountain to Estes.

RE: How good are the NADA values
Like said above, condition can make the sales vary greatly (except for the 1958 Ford Edsel)of any vehicle MH or auto!!! From my experience dealers will always be far below the Nada Guides lowest price!!

RE: How good are the NADA values
Just like they said, Nada values are only a guide. The real value is what someone will pay for you Motorhome. It's the same as for autos. Condition of any Motorhome or vehicle usually dictates what someone will pay (except for the Ford Edsel)!!

RE: Tow vehicle battery going dead
I bought a toad charge from brake buddy and wired to the 7 pin hot wire on the MH. The toad charge cost about 25.00 & the wire has a diode in it. A simple installation.

RE: An unofficial survey - cost and setup of used MHs
I bought an 02 Dutch Star in 04. Has 84K miles and we just spent 12K on engine work. I also spent about 6K on radiator work. Yearly maint up till now has been about 1000/yr plus new tires every 5-6 yrs. It's the greatest way to travel around the USA and I figure we can't take the $$$ with us to you now where!!!

RE: How do you check zone 1 a/c to zone 2 a/c j11 connection
So do you suggest I connect the red & the Black on the meter and should it read 12 volts on the side of the connection going to the zone 2 AC w/ the thermostat on? Remember Zone 2 does not show up on my thermostat only zone 1 shows!

RE: Buying an RV from Dealer vs Private Owner
I have bought from both. You have to have some knowledge of RV's to be able to buy from a private party and it helps also to buy from a Dealer. Some dealers only want to sell regardless of a used units true condition. My DSDP I bought from out of state & was 2 yrs old and still under MFGR warranty. I would buy again from a private party. It has been as good a MH as most of them (re:problems) from following this RV Forum for 12 years. Good Luck in you decisions.

How do you check zone 1 a/c to zone 2 a/c j11 connection
In zone 1 my front AC unit I have replaced the corroded thermostat 4 wire J11 plugs and connection from zone 1 AC to zone 2 AC. To be sure they are correct should there be 12 volts coming out towards zone 2 AC and which 2 wires (black, red, green, yellow)do I check w/ the voltmeter to be sure? If I can see that the connections I made up are working I will then know that I need to go to the zone 2 AC J11 connections to find out why zone 2 will not show on the Thermostat. Can anyone help?

RE: How old is too old?
MY 02 Dutch Star is 11 years old and being that I just put a new exhaust manifold, new head, new turbo charger, and new fuel pump and fuel lines on it I would say it should go at least another 10 years without any serious problems. It now has 84K miles.

RE: Windshield Wiper Problem
I had to replace hose on mine. Check pump at outlet w/hose off to see if pump is OK. Not sure about the speed problem, could be a switch.

RE: Zone 2 won't read on Thermostat
Doug, I have not replaced the zone 2 A/C unit. Does the zone 2 A/C have J11 connections in the same place as the zone 1 A/C?
I have reset the thermostat and get FF after every operation. I have not touched the dip swithes on either A/C unit.
