Or maybe the hose from filler to tank when its full??

I have a v6 pretty much had the eng stripped down front pulley off heads ETC, don't remember for sure, it had key the way it was couldn't move, what I refering to was I've seen some keys that could move and hit a seal or housing in that case a chisel mark on the key slot to keep it from slideing out, and blue locktight when in doubt.

Just buy a $10.00 meter if battery voltage goes up with elec hooked up its charging trying to keep it simple. I have the same converter there is a adj on the board a pot small screw, I turned mine all the way down to keep from boiling the battery and have no problem except its basicly a trickle charger.
-
Not sure what eng you have but I've seen Key's walk out and hit a seal usually it was just a matter of a punch mark or chisel

John The 9000 BTU Ac on a 21 foot unit if its really hot 100deg its borderline but it only pulls about 9 amps I did paint the roof white its a 92 Winnie with the alumunin roof it helped. Altitude has a effect on generators where I go its anywhere 4000 to 9000 if you do the math it derates them a lot, so I'm glad that it doesn't pull to many amps.

Mine has a 2500 watt Kohler which is noisy and not to smooth with a low load if it ever goes out, I'm thinking of the Honda 2000 which is not designed for the compartment, but building a slide out and store it in the same compartment, I have the 9000 BTU AC

When you mentioned the driving part the overdrive shouldn't be used if it starts shifting in and out to much their's a button to cut it off, on mine I use it on level ground and no wind. with only 26000 it might be in really good shape.
-
Seems like your doing good I have about the same unit as yours mine averaged out over 10 fillups or so averages 13.75 mostly higher elevations and usually some wind.
I guess maybe perfect conditions might do a little better Pulling grade's and going slow does about the same its the bill board effect "pushing all the wind" that's a killer.

I have a 6300 it does have a adjustment a small pot with a fully charged bat I set it as low as it would go don't remember exact voltage but probably around 13volts, anyway my bat doesn't need water very often once in a year, but its just a trickle charger, I'm going to save the web address for the 7300 for the future.

I have a 92 Winne probably similar to yours I don't see any leaks yet I got the idea to remove the caulk and redo the seams removed the one across the back where the roof and end cap come together that was enough for me when I redid the one seam it looked worse then the original. I talked to a guy that has a RV repair place he recommend not removing caulk just cutting out spots that looked bad only and redo.
I found some paint in Wal Mart for rv's white 2 coats 1 gal did the top didn't cover completely but should help with the heat as the aluminum center was extremely hot couldn't put your hand on it and I think it will help keep the seams sealed what ever they used originally is still rubbery good stuff.

I would like to hear more about how the 3 hours thing worked,
I tried heat gun, razor blades, and about 6 other bad ideas. Some of them I ended up sanding them off its a fiberglass surface.
-
I forgot to mention if you measuring something thats a very low amp reading, add a length of wire wrap it around one of the jaws I go about ten time's then divide the reading by 10, for instance checking a laptop 35-60 watts, we used to do this to check crankcase heaters to make sure they were working on refrigerant compressors.
-
I used the AC at work a lot it compared with others the DC I used on portable equipment I was close enough for what I was doing. Fluke also makes a AC/ DC clamp Mod 80i-410 on the can be used with a Multimeter the price is a little high as with everything with fluke. The models I mentioned I've had for a long time so they might have changed.
-
I have a fluke 36 thats clamp on ac or dc, as one said bigger isn't always better with electrical everything has to be resized.

This is when a generator comes in handy, or if there's a full moon I did that for about 10 miles one night every time I turned on all the lights it would start to cut out, this was out in the country no traffic, anyway made it home.
-
I checked the pressure which was low there was a adjustment on the pump hard to find might be under a little rubber plug which helped it seemed to spread the differential some, also when their is no pressure lifting the safety valve on the hot heater and draining so there is a small air pocket top of heater helps a little this was in the book. A small accumulator would really do the job.
-
If its the same as mine I remember a compression fitting and 1/4 pipe into the regulator. Mine will leak at the valve stem midway but when its back seated its ok, someone told me thats normal??
-
I would think it would be easy to trace the vents back it might be some from just below the windshield which gets a lot of trash there. If you have a V6 there is a large area under the intake or plenum I seem to remember when I had mine apart thinking that washing the eng would leave a lot of water in there for a while.

I removed a frame from the inside, then on the outside go around it with a blade or something it stuck on pretty good (black stuff something they use on windshields) then the outer frame pushes out, easier to do then to explain, reseal & reinstall
-
I have a 92 winnie the same window was broken ( tempered glass) had a glass company do it they had to order the glass removed the frame it does split on one side mine was broken on the stationary glass. In the future I think would try to do it myself except ordering the glass.
-
I have the same unit as you Mine has 4 drain valves 2 under the sofa and 2 more a little to the rear of the Hot water heater those drain above the waste tanks kind of runs all over.
-
Mines a 4.10 A 4.56 would probably be better could use OD more, a 3.90 in theory better fuel mileage but wouldn't have any power.

If the housing for lights in back is aluminum the rivets that connect the ground wires from one to the other can be kind of tightened with two hammers, also using a volt meter going back in series on the grounds shouldn’t read much it does it’s a indication of resistance some where along the path your reading.

What comes to mind is wheel size and overall gearing even though its a lower ratio or bigger number.There a plenty of gear sellers on the net with formulas tire sizes , ratio's rpms etc

I have the same unit theirs not much to tune up spark plug oil change if its running alright correct voltage & hertz and will carry the load, I did have mine out drops out the bottom the way mine was mounted needed reinforcing was cracking the metal.
Mine's a Kohler with a Tecumseh eng Tecumseh I believe went out of business. remember Ac and microwave shouldn't be run at the same time
