  1. May he go to a better Toy Home in the sky.
  2. i looked into them and found a lot of unhappy customers so I just replaced my old tank with a leak but a new one that fit right in, The problem with them is the unstable water flow. I have heat on demand water in my house and it is fine but for RV i went traditional.
  3. Time you took taking pictures gooda fixed damned thing.
  4. Yep for sure. I was told to use Shell Rotella 10w-40 diesel oil for my 22re as it is heavier oil that these engines prefer. Keeps that timing chain all greasy. People at jiffy lube keep trying to synth me but I insist that the 'ole guy told me to use this so this is what i am using,' last trip was 2500 miles and it used 1/2 cup of oil. got 130 ,500 miles on it so far. But rear end leaks about 1/2 quart every 800 miles
  5. Drum brakes are like that. Steeriing noise I turn too sharp like turning around. I got 87 SQ send some pics. where are you.
  6. There are lots in California. When I was in San Diego 2 years ago there were 5 in same RV park. Lots in SW USA too. Minnesota too I think as I met 4 people with them in Arizona. AS long salt doesn't rust them. I'm purely guessing but i would say 40,000 still around in some some shape. Tough little buggers I tell ya.
  7. Must be Hawthorne effect but just getting up on roof and farting around and I tried it again and it ran fine for over 20 minutes. I got cold and shut it off but it was running off my Honda 3000 inverter generator this time and there was no cycling just pure cold air. Signed confused https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawthorne_effect
  8. Well now I know what that is I guess so now I did find out where the capacitors are but there are three of them and I cannot find any model or serial number on this thing even though I have the manual so I'm not too sure I think it's probably 13,000 BTU but at any rate I'm just went out and plugged it in for fun and it came on and was running for so I got everything apart the inside panel whatever and yeah so I don't know what the hell's going on all I did was clean a bit of stuff I owed and open the top up there on the compressor to see what was under there. Thank you very much for tips.
  9. It is same wire I been using for last 3 years and it was plugged into the local park I go to. I tried 4 different plugs and it did same thing. It knocked off breaker. Last one it ran for 1.5 hours then just died out - breaker blown again. Then I tried it at home tonight and same thing, When it starts to kick in for AC it kicks off breaker. So fan works but when I put the dial to cold it slows down and kicks the breaker at the house or wherver I plug in. cord is 12 guage i think and 20 feet to the plug in.?
  10. Rooftop AC problems, keeps shutting off blowing breakers. runs for 10 minutes or longer if first turned on then slows right down and blows breaker.Thoughts?
  11. Did this in Tucson last spring just before I drove back through Pandemic America. 2700 miles and no leaks but wondering where to start without getting into mission creep. It might be dipped down a bit on the drivers side as I can hardly see a stop light while at the stop line ? Thanks for looking. This tap is great but pretty trashing I know but it got me home safe and dry.
  12. is there a replacement for this heater? wondering as mine is getting old well 87 but it still works ok.
  13. No I have not yet checked the belts. I am not driving the rig much these days due to lockdown here in Quebec but I will check them for sure. Thanks to all for your feedback and tips. I also heard adding some belt dressing to belts might help but i do see a small leak down there but I just drove it back from arizona a month ago 2700 miles and it only took an extra spoon of oil. so its aint much for sure. but I like to keep it well maintained.
  14. 22re with 130,000 miles on it. Doubt it has been replaced i have owned it for 2.5 years and put on 15,000 with no problems so far
  15. Water Pump squealing noises? When I rev it up to 3000 rpm or sometimes before it shifts into 3 rd gear it squeals but not always. Wondering if anyone tips on when to change to do? I just drove back 2700 miles with no trouble but now that I am home I am trying to find things to fix. Bored eh!
  16. Yeah I see oil leaks for sure under the housing. It it definitely leaking right in the middle. I never looked at the hubs. There's lot of rear end oil right on the pavement. It is a big job to put in a new seal and wondering what the part number/supplier would be.
  17. I am down a quart of rear end oil per 1500 miles and wondering if I should be concerned (other than the pollution). I have an 1987 Toy Slumber Queen model that is R22e automatic. I called the local mechanic who fixed my trany leak last year and he got nothing come up on his computer for parts? Thanks in advance
  18. I replaced my ATwood water heater this spring. I bought it online at a place in Texas, forget the name but they shipped it free. It was easy to replace. Not worth replacing just the tank. I looked at various options and ventless heaters but glad I went the traditional route - it was a plug and place effort and happy with the result. I just bought the cheapest manual type and I didn't want to draw any extra power and mess with wiring. I gotto go outside and light it and then it runs fine unless I need to move the rig. so i shut her down and move on man. Good luck Here is where I bought mine https://www.pplmotorhomes.com/parts/rv-appliances/rv-water-heaters/atwood-rv-water-heater-parts
