RE: My 4th. Ford V10 Class A, but lacks power???
The 2020 should have he 362HP V-10 also.
I know mine feels underpowered, but that is due to the drive by wire system. It doesn't give you full throttle opening. Next year a 5star tune will correct that.
That would be 320 HP & 460 lbs torque.

RE: 2 Battery banks built from 6 volts
https://i.imgur.com/sG0zRFbl.jpg
not a tone of room on this small tongue, but angle iron might be the trick. Didn't want to put a ton more weight on the tongue, but may be easier than the truck box.
Bolt that angle iron to the tongue and mount those 6 volt batteries for and aft, for less width. After you get the iron cut and mounted you may want to stop by the local weld shop for the end pieces.

RE: MH accident in gas station!
I wonder how many of the folks here clamoring for mandatory training and licensing actually had said training themselves? Some, Im sure, but I bet not all. Of course when they were learning, things were different.
And the bit about getting an attorney? Please... Im guessing you have one on speed dial?
Its amazing all the speculation.
Mike
Well Mike, add me to the list of those trained. Would Military training to drive a wrecker with truck and trailer in tow qualify? Over 70 ft. long.

RE: MH accident in gas station!
Another example of why there should be mandatory training, testing and licensing to operate anything larger than a car or pickup, or to tow a trailer. A lot of folks can't negotiate a Walmart parking lot in a Kia Soul, and the next day jump in a class A and hit the highway towing it.
Exactly.........In Missouri you need an endorsement on your drivers licence to ride a motorcycle but can drive anything else as long as you're not driving for hire. DUH!

RE: MH accident in gas station!
Wonder if that was a 3500 lb receiver the tow truck driver was lifting on? Did that MH have frame extensions? Kinda of scary stuff.

RE: New LP/CO detector needed
So I’m just wondering how is he repairing the CO part of the detector. I know my LP side is functioning properly, it would seem to me repairing the CO side has some liability that I wouldn’t want to be a part of. Not bashing here, just an honest question!
The CCI detectors do not have CO detection built in. Interesting that Safe T Plus has both in one device. LP detectors mount near the floor and CO should be mounted higher.

RE: New LP/CO detector needed
Larry at CCIrepairs@gmail.com is doing CCI repairs. I suspect he can also handle Safe T plus. Larry lives in the K.C. metro area and offers a 3 day turn on repairs.

RE: run problem with Onan Marquis 5000 BGM
I believe you oil pressure switch is next to the oil filter. Remove the filter and have a look.
I think the switch is normally open.

RE: Vapor lock 1990 E350 EFI 460 engine?
With fuel systems pressurized from the tank to the injectors, vapor lock is a thing of the past. Your pressure regulator will bypass the excess fuel and keep the fuel rail cool. A good fuel pump will pump far in excess of your engines needs.

RE: Battery Hold downs
Well,
I'll more than likely get a bit of flaming for this but, no biggie, been flamed many, many times both in my career and on here. Anyway, I changed from (3) 12V Junk INTERSTATE batteries to (4) Costco 6V Golf Cart batteries over 7 years ago and, since I have very, very little clearance above the batteries, I have NO HOLD DOWNS at all on those. They weigh 67 lbs EACH!!!!!!!!
Those (4) batteries are very close to each other and have a small spacer in between them so to just keep them from POTENTIALLY from sliding around. Now, am I gonna BOUNCE them out of their somewhat secure position, with any sort of rough road or intersection? Nope, not gonna happen. As stated, they've been that way for almost 8 years and haven't moved one micro inch.
Scott
Scott, I also have no hold downs on my 4 GC batteries, but if they jiggle loose they have no way out but up 2 1/2 feet and out the hood opening. I have seen some under the stair batteries that have little surrounding them and could escape if not secured. I think it all depends...............
Richard
Hey Richard,
Yeah, if mine had little to no side wall restriction, I'd find some sort of way to tie them down. But, the House battery tray is approximately 4" deep and, those batteries are snug as a bug in a rug in there. I'd have to do a moto cross race with it in order for those four house batts to even think about trying to get out of their enclosure.
Scott
You still have dirt bikes? Ya have an extra? Lets go riding. I just sold my last dirt bike about a month ago. :( Now I down to Segways for two wheeling.

RE: Bounder Does Not Start
Also...........on the left side of your transmission is a neutral safety switch/range sensor, that could have failed.

RE: Bounder Does Not Start
There is a starter relay between the key and starter solenoid, that is a known failure item. I believe it's close to the right fender well. It has probably failed.

RE: 1996 Pace Arrow A/C Question/Help
You have a Denso HVAC system. In the link click on downloads for wiring prints.
Also in that era of Ford chassis, Ford left a connection for the AC behind the dash, up high. Fleetwood put an inline 20 amp fuse on that wire for the AC.
If you need to get into the heater/AC compartment, just look for the 4 screws in the kick panel forward of the passengers feet.

RE: Which route
One trip, running fat, I got on US 50 just west of St Louis, and stayed on that out to Hutchinson Ks, dropped south west on a state highway to pick up US 54. Crossed the interstate at Tucumcari. 50 runs the interstate in KC area. All good roads in a overloaded semi, likely not the most scenic, but better than a interstate. I did not have the time to see...
That SW road to 54 would be KS 61.
MY favorite route across Kansas.
