Chassis/Engine Repair / Re: 2006 Country Coach Affinity Electrical Problems
Last post by PaulKeates -
Hi,
I'm no expert, but one thought came to mind immediately: bad ground.  So many issues! 

Did they all start happening at the same time?

I'm assuming all the obvious things have been done: check fuses, check coach battery voltage, remove fuses in Echo-charger / BIRD etc.

Do you have a multi-meter with ammeter function?  Start figuring out how to insert that into circuits to look for amp draws.

Are all of the other major features working - like - SOME electrical items are working?

Are the start batteries healthy?  Holding down the boost switch restores functionality?

Do you have the official wiring diagrams from the manuals?

Cheers,

Paul

General Repair / Re: How to clean carpeted ceiling spots
Last post by Karymn -
For carpeted ceilings, the safest approach is to gently vacuum first to remove dust, then spot-clean with a mild upholstery cleaner and a soft cloth or sponge. Always test a small area first to avoid damage, and use as little water as possible to prevent stains from spreading.

General Repair / OTR Air - Don't know if we have it but we have a button.....
Last post by Genevieve -
Hi - We have a 2002 CC XLII.  We have buttons for OTR air, and we were told that we have 2 compressors.  But we can't find where it is located or turn it on.  Does anyone have an idea of what we can do to find it and use it? We have been running the house a/c with the generator, but for some reason the generator no longer works for that, even though it is recently installed and did run them right after we installed it.  I must have pushed the wrong button, the shop was telling me to do the battery disconnect but we never had to do that in the past.  So 2 issues basically that I need help with.

Chassis/Engine Repair / 2006 Country Coach Affinity Electrical Problems
Last post by Rocky 1221 -
Hello once again! Our 2006 Affinity has multiple problems that all seemed to occur at the same time. Here are the problems:

We can lift our tag, but it will not come down, unless the battery cutoff is engaged.

Our smart wheel is not functional.

We have no functional: directionals, hazard lights with the ignition on. 

The arrows in the side mirrors stay lit up solid, but don't blink with the ignition on.

Our front dash panel lights (Directionals and High Beam) stay on after the ignition switch is turned off for no reason (I included a picture).

Our clearance lights in the front stay on, very dimly after the ignition is turned off.   

Our brake lights are very dim.

Can someone help us?

Country Coach Talk / 1994 Concept with 8V92 Detroit
Last post by rayburne -
So I was recently gifted a 1994 Concept with the 8V92 Detroit.  It's been sitting at a lake property for about 10 years and hasn't been cranked in 1 year.  It appears to be in great shape otherwise and has just shy of 100k miles.  From what little info is easily found online I feel like it's worth getting it back running (within reason).  The batteries are a year old so will need to be charged.  It wouldn't crank about a year ago because it appeared to be starved for fuel.  A mechanic bypassed the fuel system and put a pump up sprayer on the fuel rail and it started.  They put everything back together and it ran long enough for it to move 100 ft.  It started a few times after but now will not start again.  I feel it's a simple issue with old fuel/fuel filtration being clogged so doubt it's a major issue.  Otherwise I plan to put new tires on it and have a mechanic check the vital systems such as brakes and steering etc. but what are you guys' thoughts?  These coaches seam to be well built and have lots of life left but am I wrong?  I know there's lots I'm overlooking here but any major issues I'm missing?  I should also note that it has been under a carport the entire time and has been used as a vacation spot so stayed in periodically but not steady.  All interior equipment works as it should but it's been plugged into shore-power the entire time.  Thanks!

Country Coach Talk / Re: Recommendations for repair shops in Fredericksburg VA area
Last post by CCT -
There are many NRVIA inspectors listed in that area, no idea if any of them are really good.  Many seem to just go through the steps, be good to find one familiar with CC so they know what to look for.

A couple of options to check to see if they have recommendations are the following 2 repair shops (I don't believe they do RV PURCHASE inspections, don't get confused with STATE inspections)

1) Truck Repair Shop in Fredericksburg, VA | Liberty ... Truck and RV repair center
2) RV SERVICE OF VA - Welcome to RV Service of Virginia ... In Ashland which is just a bit south.

Country Coach Talk / Recommendations for repair shops in Fredericksburg VA area
Last post by Thomas of VT -
Good day folks: I’m new to the forum and I am looking at a 1994 magna 36 foot which will require me to travel some distance to look at so I’m wondering if anybody has had experience with RV shops in the Fredericksburg Virginia area that they could recommend to go through the RV and inspect specifically transmission engine steering the mechanical aspects of the rig.

Thanks
Tom
