Today I picked up our coach from Arkansas Diesel and Equipment Repair. Surprise of all surprises, everything worked perfectly. From there the coach was taken to it's winter quarters Allied Storage in Fayetteville. The work that Jacab did should have added up to more but his total out the door bill was $190. Not bad for almost 12 hours of diagnosis. In fact I am pleased with the resultant repairs and will now go back for other repairs. However, I will make an appointment and set a deadline for completion. Lesson learned.
From there I will work on a few nagging problems such as a black tank washout line that has a non-functioning back flow preventer. This broken valve effectively creates a waterfall into the coaches basement via the underneath of the coach lavatory sink when hooked up to a water supply to clean the black tank. A new back flow preventer is $35 and it will definetly be the first thing I tackle on a long list of wants and needs.

ReplyDeleteHeya Harry, thanks for checking back. I am really happy your coach is working well for you now. How much does an alignment on these beasts cost anyway. It can't be cheap, I would be interested to know because my coach also pull right a bit.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to get those repairs over with. I want to a lot of small upgrades and couldn't do that with the coach in the shop. I have similar issues with the AV systems in my coach. Really old technology is the major culprit. Everything works as it should with the exception of the surround sound in conjunction with OTA tv. It works fine with the dvd player though. Also, I would like to be able to use the am/fm tuner (antique) through the surround sound. First world problems though and they will have to wait until I get all major systems the way I want them. First up is that pesky black water clean out.
