Hi I have one of the same systems on a 2005 bluebird with the Wanderlodge. the fan system I believe on the CC build c13 is a Hydrostat. the controller collects temp information in the form of a resistance output from the temp senders and then does the majic to send a pulse width signal to the hydraulic pan proportional control valve. if you measure that signal and it is 6 volts, it is actualy still 12volts but being broadcasted at the solenoid via a pulse of 50% on and off.
60 of the The Bluebirds share this hydrostatic fan drive that Eaton and CountryCoach developed for EPA requirements. We also shar in non existing fan controllers. Our systems use 24volts of pulse width to control fan speed but the idea is the same. I am building a controller to sell that can be programmed in C++ which is a common computer program. If you wish we can discuss the two fan systems. here is a fan controller I built for a customer to get things going and collect need in out effort to find the absolute best fan speeds.
here is an article from CountryCoach and Eaton about the fan system I believe you have Greg 951-830-5997 Fleet Compliance California CARB Trucksmog.com
Just purchased a 2002 CC Affinity 42 Bed and Breakfast and I can't find the water filter. Any help on it's location would be greatly appreciated.
The water filter on a 2002 Country Coach Affinity 42 is typically located in one of the exterior utility bays. Check the wet bay (where your water hookups are) for a canister-style filter mounted near the water inlet. If it's not there, look inside cabinets under the kitchen sink or near the water pump.

I have the air leveling system on my 97 Magna. You will notice more movement with the air leveling system. I have a 36 foot and there is a very slight movement when someone enters the coach. Much more so than when using hydraulic jacks. There is quite a bit of movement when there are strong wind gusts from either side.
To help avoid wind movement when parked I drop the coach to empty the air springs before I level - if the ground is fairly level the coach will sit on the rubber spring bumpers instead of riding on an inflated air bag. This cuts way down on rocking but it's still not as steady as hydraulic jacks.

Hi Mike. I have a 1997 Magna so your situation may be different.
Obviously there has been some movement to cause those cracks. The passenger side crack appears to have been filled with a patch material in the past. Obviously that patch failed.
On my Magna the front of the coach skin is supported by a network of square tubing. IF the front end has been impacted it's quite possible that supporting structure was damaged. You wouldn't see this from the outside although those cracks may be an indication of a lack of support underneath. I would suggest you look closer at the supporting structure to see if there is damage to that area.
If you have a front run box with the front roll out generator it's pretty easy to inspect that area. Otherwise you will need to crawl under the front lip.

Looking to purchase a 2001 Magna.
I need some help understanding if this is normal wear and tear. Or is this a deeper issue that will return because of unseen or underlying problems (water damage or abuse or something else).
Sorry I couldn't get the site to correctly load the images so I'll just share the Google share link...
This first image is of the drivers side front cap at bottom of windshield between windshield and the second window I see a crack. Not sure if it is paint or fiberglass??? Serious or fixable and wont have further issues???
This second Image is on the passenger side. The visor where it meets the front cap is cracking pretty bad. Again fixable and no further worries or from deeper issues???
If I purchase, it would be something I plan to keep long term. So I want to know if these problems are going to get worse or if its just from over the years of sun beating on the gel coat? __________________ Mike

Currently I have a 40' HR Endeavor and looking at 40' Magna. Both DP's
We started looking at 2000 era Magna's. I got to wondering if I would notice much more movement when leveled (Air leveling), then I feel in my 2001 Holiday Rambler Endeavor when leveled (Hydraulic jacks)?
I do get some movement in the Endeavor but nowhere near as much as the travel trailer I had before it. I definitely wont like it if the Magna moves much while the wind is blowing or people are moving around. The Endeavor is pretty solid in these situations.
Are hydraulic levelers more stable ?
Also we have been on some slopes several times where the hydraulic leveling didn't have enough adjustment. Will this be more of a problem with air ride or less. Meaning with hydraulic I have to get the tires up on the low corner, but then I have to stack boards under the jack too. With air ride you would just need to get the tire on the low corner up. But I've heard that Air has less ability to overcome uneven slopes.

The Controller for my C-13 must be replaced. The controller a Danfoss11163037 is no longer made and there is no replacement for it. What do I need to do? I have seen some discussion about using a wax controller but I do not know if there is one compatible for the C-13 nor how much it might cost. Can anyone help advise me on what to do?

I have a 2005 Inspire with Cat C9 engine. I'm troubleshooting Inlet Air Heater, also called grid heater.
The issue is relay power. According to Cat the vehicle manufacturer provides 12 VDC ignition power to positive control terminal. The CAT ECM provides ground when temperature dictates.
I have power to the high amp connection, but no power to control terminal with ignition on.
Anyone know from where the control terminal is powered? I find no fuse with a similar name. Is it possibly powered from the Air Dryer circuit?

In the drivers side front compartment is your hwh pump on it there are solenoids with a little nut on them. they are bleeder valves that will equalize the pressure on the hydraulic cylinders and should straighten the slide. once straight, if nothing else is wrong, they should work. I hope this helps. best of luck
