Country Coach Talk / Re: 1994 Concept with 8V92 Detroit
Last post by bubblyed -
The no-start problem is almost certainly old fuel, a clogged filter or a weak supply line - nothing serious if the engine is running on an external pump. Drain the old fuel, replace the filter, check the lines for leaks/air, and try again. Those 8V92s are very durable - if cared for and not overheated, they will last a long time.

General Repair / Re: Ice Buildup on Dometic Refrigerator Fins
Last post by schedulevirus -
The cause is air leakage from the door gasket letting in moisture, which creates ice on the fins; the fix is to follow the “rejuvenation” steps: pull the gasket back, insert cotton/polycord behind it, warm it gently with a hair dryer until pliable, then close the door for 3–4 hours so the magnet reseats tightly, restoring the seal like new.

Chassis/Engine Repair / Re: 2006 Country Coach Affinity Electrical Problems

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?
