    Short at output for Prodigy P3

    So I had my Prodigy P3 screen turn red and tell me there was a "short at output" "no brakes" and there were no brakes. So many crawled in the rig and could hear by one backing plate a "ticking" sound so I cut the wires and it stopped and the brakes were back at the other 3 wheels. Since I've...

    Champion 3000 watt inverter generator

    Has anyone tried or does anyone currently use Champion 3000 watt generators? I have a friend looking to save a few dollars. He likes my Yamaha 2000's but that isn't in his budget. Steve 2007 GMC Duramax/Allison B&W Companion 2012 Sundance 3300CK

    Slide Arm welds

    Today I was running one of the slides in and it seemed to bind and jerk in one spot. I looked underneath when we got home and to my surprise I found a weld that had no penetration and had just let go. Took it apart so I can take the piece to work tomorrow and get it welded back together. My...

    Anyone have the torque spec for shackle bolts? I noticed I have a loose nut. Steve and Carrie HOC# 2252 2007 GMC 2500HD Duramax B&W Companion Hitch 2012 Sundance 3300CK Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Last trip of 2013

    We just spent the last trip of 2013 at Bayshore County park, north of Green Bay in the peninsula. Very nice park with blacktop pads. Turned out to be a great weekend. Thankfully the forecast was wrong as usual and we only had rain Friday night and when we got home today. Otherwise sunny and 50...

    Luke warm water on electric

    Just recently I have started to get only warm water at best using the electric heating on my water heater. It seems to work the best the first day we get to the campground and by best I mean I shower with only the hot side of the faucet open. By the second day after a cool night the water is...

    Amp Research Bed Step

    I just installed my new bed step and it makes getting in the bed of the truck much easier. It mounted to the existing rear bumper mount bolts at the frame. Spring loaded and just a little pressure folds it down and a flip of the toe and it goes right back up. The only modification I had to make...

    EMS-HW50C making noise with generators

    I installed a Progressive Industries EMS-HW50C in my Sundance in May. Today was the first time I tried it with my Yamaha 2000 Generators. It has worked flawless with shore power but when I started the generators I got an E-9 error which is "data link down". The manual says it just isn't getting...

    Battery gases

    I have two Exide batteries in my GMC that are less than a year old. Since I've put them in I have experienced what I guess is excessive vapor venting. The batteries are not leaking but the trays are continually covered with corrosion. I'll clean it off and it comes back. I would expect it to be...

    Arbor Vitae Campground

    Had a great time camping at Arbor Vitae Campground in Arbor Vitae, WI. Some rain but the fishing was great. When the sun came out after the rain had a nice rainbow over our Sundance.

    Hawk Exterior Porch Light

    Has anyone ever had to replace the gasket on their porch light? Mine is all cracked and weathered and it is split at the bottom and was hanging out. One option I saw was buying a whole new light on the Internet for $25. I am going to try calling ITC and see if they sell just gaskets. Any other...

    JT Strongarms Install

    I installed JT Strongarms on our 3300CK this weekend in between the rain we've been getting here. I ran into a few issues. First on the front the rod to lower the spare tire is slightly off center so the mounts for the stabilizers couldn't be centered on the rig. Next the way the gas line is...

    Shower base crack

    Well I got our rig out of storage today and got it home and proceeded to flush the antifreeze out and sanitize the freshwater tank. When I went to run the shower faucet I noticed what looked like a hair on the shower floor which was odd since I cleaned it all out before it got put away...

    Switch to cut off power to radio/DVD

    I wired a switch to cut the power to the radio/DVD for when we are running from just battery power. I know, I know....the clock has to be reset. I used to pull the fuse but that cuts the bedroom lights too. This also comes in handy when we park the rig at music festivals early and don't get...

Not sure where they were headed but we were headed to Green Bay to pick up my wife's parents. Tomorrow we are heading toward Bristol, TN. Steve Sent from my...

    Converter won't give a full charge

    I have an Interstate SRM29 series deep cycle battery. Anytime I leave the rig sit in the yard plugged in the converter only manages to keep the battery at 50%. That is according to my battery charger when I hook it up. Is it possible to have to big of a battery for the converter to fully charge...

    Water pump started blowing fuses

    Over the weekend we were using the pump and while taking a shower the pump stopped working. Noticed that the 10 amp fuse was blown and replaced it. Shortly after the fuse blew again. Replaced it and it blew again. I think I changed it six times. When we were packing up it seems the pump was...

    Pump doesn't seem to prime

    I am not sure if this is a legitimate way to word this problem I have encountered. After my rig sat in storage all winter I got it out and flushed the antifreeze from the lines using city water hook up. Then I cleaned and sanitized the tank and lines. Now I put tank freshener in and I turned...

    Dual fuel filters

    Anyone here ever upgraded their diesel TV to a dual fuel filter system? I am considering based on a discussion I had recently with my mechanic about how dirty fuel is becoming. Just had my ECM tuned to add 70 RWHP with an increased and flatter torque band. Considering adding another fuel...

    Which wall to locate television mount?

    We have a 2012 3300CK and are wondering which wall in the main bedroom a tv wall mount should (the exterior wall or the wall with the cable outlet and AC outlet) go on or is setting one on the counter on top of the drawers the only option? Obviously it will have to be an arm mount on either of...

    Draining Water Heater

    I want to drain my water heater for winter. I am assuming that when I remove the cover there is a plug that look like a 1" socket will fit and I should pull that out to drain the water heater. I say I need to use a socket because it isn't easy to get a channel lock or crescent wrench on it and...

    Lakeshore RV, Muskegon, MI
