  1. Thanks for your information, however my is a gas burner. I think that I probably shorted out the alternator when tightning the belt. I now keep a extra fuse in car pocket just in case that it is something else. I believe that the check engine light was comming on because the alternator was starting to go out. I replaced the alternator and everything seems to be OK now. Thanks for your suggestions.
  2. Thanks Saturday I will be going over every thing again. Both times that it went out it seem to be in cordination with the check engine light preceding it.
  3. I recently for the second time had the 80 amp fuse in fuse box under the hood by the battery blow out on me. Prior to it failing my check engine light came on. Thinking that it had something to do with the alternator I stop on side of road to check. After turning it off it would restart. Fortunately someonce came by and discovered the 80 amp Glow fuse was out. We replaced and it started right up however I would like to find out what caused the problem since being left on side of road for 2 and half hours is not good for my nerves. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
  4. Thanks for the input. I bought another through Walmart although it is not available in local stores. universal ub121000-45978 12v 100ah deep cycle agm for $164
  5. What type and brand of Deep Cycle Battery to you recommend? I just had a Walmart battery go bad after 2 years. That seems to be pretty short for a $100 battery!
  6. Unfortunately I just filled it with gas right before discovering the need to take tank down and change pump. I talked with a Mechanic a couple days ago and will probably go that route. I not only have trouble getting back up when I lay down under a vehicle I will invariably develop equilibrium problems.
  7. I have discovered that right above the tank is metal plate welded to angle iron that anchors the swivel chairs in the camper. The metal plate runs the full length of the tank. I believe that on this model I will have to drop the tank.
  8. I was considering doing the hatch in the floor. I don't do well crawling underneath these days. Thanks for the suggestion.
  9. My camper is a 1985 Escaper. The fuel pump is inside the gas tank. Has anyone had experience changing these. Is there a access panel to get to this or do you have to take the gas tank out of the camper. Any advise would be appreciated!
  10. Has anyone had to change a fuel pump on a motor home. Mine is a 85 Horizion. It keeps blowing the fuse on the fuel pump usually right after coming from a long drive. When I refill the gas tank and try to restart it the fuse blows. Do I have to take the tank down to access the fuel pump? Advise would be appreciated.
  11. There are several nice parks in the area. North Toledo Bend has a nice State Park. If you have a golden age pass and once you are a LA resident the fees are cut in half. I no longer live in that area as of 4 years ago but enjoyed it while there. Over in Texas close to Tyler is also a very nice park.
  12. Just returned from trip. The deep cycle with the inverter worked great to keep the fridge running for 3 hrs while I was out of vehicle plus while driving during the day everything worked better than expected. I have decided to make a separate circuit to the fridge.
  13. I really don't know. It is beneath a panel in the closet and I have never opened it up to look at it. Right now I am packed to go on a trip. When I get back I may be able to look at it.
  14. Add to the mix that the alternator in the car is also generating power that flows into the Deep Cycle. I was not sure how what route that flows
