Upgrades & Restorations / Tow cable fuse panel on 06 Magna
Last post by sandmark40 -
The tow cable fuse panel has gone bad on my 06 Magna. I talked to Greg Boots at countrycoach.com and they have none and could not give me any information on where to find one. Considering bypassing board. Any suggestions? Thanks

General Repair / Re: Pac Brake switch location 99 Intrigue?
Last post by CCMagna -
It should be located on the left-side dash panel.  It will be a rocker/toggle switch and may be labeled “Exhaust Brake,” “Pacbrake,” or simply “Brake.”

I did see it on the steering column stalk with the cruise on one CC, but I don't remember the year.

General Repair / Pac Brake switch location 99 Intrigue?
Last post by DieselDave -
I have a Pac Brake on my 99 Intrigue as I see the pneumatic plunger and actuator on the engine but I don' t know where the switch is to turn it on and off?  Does anyone know where the switch is? I have searched the dash and drivers area to no avail. Thank You in advance

General Repair / Re: Help wiring in a cruise switch on a99 cc allure
Last post by CCMagna -
I think that is a DynoMax chassis /  Cummins ISC 8.3 (350hp).  That means you're dealing with a Cummins Celect Plus and the cruise control is integrated into the ECM rather than a separate cruise module.

AFAIK
  - The ECM expects momentary switch signals (usually grounded inputs) to activate ON/OFF, SET, RESUME, etc.
  - No separate cruise control “box” → the switch wiring goes straight to the ECM or via the connector in the dashboard harness.

The ECM should uses these pins, I can't tell from the picture you posted if this is what it is indicating?
Pin 7   Cruise Enable   Green or Yellow
Pin 9   Set/Coast   Blue or Green
Pin 10   Resume/Accel   Blue or Red
Pin 11   Coast           (sometimes same as Set)

The switches short to ground which signals the ECM to activate that function.

Country Coach Talk / Re: 1999 country coach intrigue with gillig chassis
Last post by CCMagna -
Diesel pusher engines (especially Cummins or Caterpillar) are designed for 500,000+ miles or even over a million miles with good maintenance.

Given the mileage, it suggests it’s been used regularly, which is better than a coach that sat idle.

The real thing to look at is a 1999 is 25+ years old, so suspension, drive train, air systems and chassis components may be nearing end-of-life or needing rebuilds, so what has been done to those areas to keep them up to date.  Much of that is  DIY area, but if you can't do it yourself you will spend 20+ easy to get everything updated (if its not been done already)

General Repair / delamanation on outer wall of slide out
Last post by rw0483 -
I have a beautiful 1998 Intrigue.  I live in Mississippi and have consulted with Premier RV in Oregon.  From what I can tell, the lower half of the sides and the bottom have come loose.  Premier RV said they have seen this hundreds of times.  He said they would just pull back the delaminated area, clean out all the swelled wood, and then spray in a low expanding adhesive and clamp it back.  Has anyone done this on their own?  I'm tempted to attempt it.  I'm very capable but my problem is, I have to have it done right.  Any information on type of adhesive, ways you clamped it after putting adhesive inside would be valuable.  Please tell me what you learned and what I shouldn't do.  I just need to find a place I can get it out of the weather to do this.

Quote from: Team Snark –
Hi all,

We're Mark and Susan, AKA "Team Snark", and we recently purchased my parents' 1997 Intrigue 36' with 325HP from them as they're in their 90's and less ambulatory than they used to be. The coach gave them many years of joy, but spent the last 4 years in storage. We're hoping to get a few years' use from it before downsizing to a Sprinter-based 24', so we're tackling all the deferred maintenance and upgrading where possible.

So far we have:
    • Replaced the aged-out and cracked Michelin tires with new Hankook tires
    • Replaced wiper blades and got new windshield washer hardware to install
    • Replaced failed Intec backup camera and monitor
    • Replaced all florescent bulbs with LED (most with ballast-delete versions)
    • Purchased 2 replacement exterior light housings from CC Oregon
    • Had oil changed and radiator flushed
    • Replaced leaking Haldex level-control valve, but now the coach rides low in that corner, needs adjusting. Looking for pointers here...
    • Replaced failed rocker switch for bathroom light
    • Purchased radio - old one missing
    • Managed to damage a passenger side awning arm, so need to replace it...

We have a list of things we'd like to do, including switching the house batteries to Lithium Ion, adding solar panels, replacing the old TVs with smart TVs that will run off our Starlink WiFi, getting rid of the acrylic bug shield that's no longer transparent and contemplating adding a Super-C/"big rig" style front bumper for peace of mind, and thinking about taking out the cloth driver-side sofa to make room for a sit-stand desk to work remotely.

Regards,
Mark & Susan
2007 Intrigue 100158

Sounds like you're making great progress on the upgrades! For the low ride on the corner after replacing the Haldex valve, it could be an issue with air pressure or the air springs not properly adjusting. I'd recommend checking the air suspension system and the ride height sensors. Sometimes recalibrating the system or making sure the compressor is working properly can help. As for the rest, upgrading to lithium batteries, solar panels, and smart TVs will definitely make your travels more comfortable and efficient. And turning that sofa space into a sit-stand desk sounds like a smart move for remote work!
