Greetings all,
This is my very first post to the forum.
My name is Luke and I presently have the honor of being in possession of a 2000 Allure 36ft with Cummins 330 ISC.
I'm wondering if anyone here might have any info regarding the subject matter of which I'm about to speak.
At present, both the hazards and left and right blinkers all start out at one speed sounding and flashing when they're turned on, but begin to speed up quickly as they're left on to the point that they sound like they will burn out so I use them all VERY sparingly.
I took the coach into Land Yachts in Jupiter FL which is now my regular repair shop, and the gentlemen there said that with the Country Coaches there's some sort of electrical-type "box" with some sort of "board" or something in the back of the coach somewhere where all the blinker and hazard stuff is at.
He said that more than likely that board/box is on the way out... and that it would take him two weeks to repair it because he'd have to order a new, apparently, custom built(sounds like you know what$?) board that he would have to order from some place in Ohio or something.
The problem I have with this is that I am currently full timing and money is tight, so I really can't afford to live someplace like a motel for two weeks, plus I'd just rather not. I have lived in the MH before while at other repair facilities.
So my question to the group is this...
Might anyone know of a reliable and honest repair facility that could tackle this problem while I stay in the MH?
Any and all help will be GREATLY APPRECIATED.
Thanks very much! :)
Peace to all...

Hi Luke... don't know about location in a 2000 Allure, but in my 2002 Intrigue 36' the tow board is located in the bedroom on the floor beneath the bottom of three clothes drawers adjacent to the closet. Have to remove the drawer to see the board. In the not too distant past Kevin Waite has had tow boards available... you might try contacting him.
541-953-6162. He's been a great resources for obtaining parts.

Luke,
The Users Manual for my 2002 Intrigue 40" puts the flasher on the front run board. I believe that it is located within the dash behind the removable panel in front of the passenger seat.
My turn signal/hazard flasher is a problem for me, too. It is intermittent and works for months then stops for months. Lots of fun!
Good luck.

Hi John,
Pleasure making your acquaintance sir :).
Thanks a TON for the info!
I'm not with the coach at the moment, but as soon as I am I will check around under the closet drawers in the bedroom. Would have never thought to look there!
I will call Kevin if required!
Thanks so very much again.

You need to call Kevin Waite and he can mail you the replacement board. You could likely do it yourself. It is behind the right side tail lights. Two screws to remove cover, unplug two wire groups then slide out board.
Good luck

Hi Richard,
Thanks a ton for the info!
I'm not with the coach now, but plan to be some time next month. Will definitely get to work on it as soon as I'm back with it.
Thank you very much again...
Very best to you!
Cheers,
