We held our breath when possible!

October 2017 update...had valve job done on engine along with timing belt, hoses, fan belts, plugs and wires..idles well now even though gas mileage is still around 13 hwy @ 60mph. Burnt exhaust valve was culprit. We have put about 10,000 miles since July 2016 and are now in our 3rd. multi week trip in Vancouver BC with our cats. Replaced all four mini blinds after one broke...(Canadian exchange rate was greatly appreciated)! We will be headed back home to Vancouver USA after this 3 week outing with our cats. Oh yes, total amount spent on our Toy to date is approximately $15,000 which includes new tires, muffler and engine repair. Forgot to mention re-installing front and side over cab windows and painted bathroom sink, toilet lid and shower pan with Krylon paint for plastic.

I can't imagine why that would be fused through the Toyota electrical system.That would not make sense.
-
It had an antenna before I bought it, everything is there but the aerial that cranks up. The bracket on the roof and hand crank are all there.
-
Yea I found the wiring diagrams too, but none even seem to refer to the TV outlet at all that I could see!!
-
Therein is my point...I HAVE pulled every fuse and NONE of them control that outlet...! (Sorry for the caps, LOL!)
-
After taking the the plate off the cabinet bottom I monkeyed with the blade connections and now it works.(Yay!) But I still would really like to know where the fuse is!!!! Thanks for always being there Linda S. By the way!
-
Do you know where the fuse is that protects the antenna circuit Maineah?
-
I wasn't clear enough in my explanation...I am wanting to use the 12v plug only. I was using it to power a small 150 watt inverter. I'm not using the antenna portion. I have found out that the rear bath layout that I have has a different 12v fuse panel setup than the other "rear lounge" style layout. Apparently that unit does have a fuse for the antenna outlet assy. , Along with the rest of the fuses.

Where specifically would one find the fuse connection for the 12v tv amplifier outlet (cigarette lighter power portion). It was working up until yesterday. '93 Itasca Spirit.(Winnebago Warrior clone)! Note the amplifier pilot light turns on and off still.

Good idea 5!

No not soft, you would never know there was a leak..I temporarily duct taped the outside frame only and will spray water on it, then again without the tape, that will tell me if it is a problem with the butyl seal. During a hard rain the window frame dripped down the inside wall..I hope it didn't get in the inside of the wall. By the way the window drain openings are working ok.
-
The owners' guide describes 3 charging levels for the battery charger. The cooling fan has come on at various times when on shore power and using a lot of 12v items.The unit itself seems to work just fine and the 2 year old coach battery water levels and charge capacity seem fine .

I use overdrive on level ground, the worst I've gotten which included the mountain passes over Shasta and Southern Oregon was about 13mpg. your 4 should get at least 2 to 3 more mpg than the six from what I've read.
-
Ok...after all that and a 2200 mile trip to L.A. and back- the leak actually turned out to be the side sliding window. Thank-you Linda S. Ordered a roll of butyl tape- guess what I'm gonna do this week!
By the way, 2200 miles my Spirit ran flawlessly with its 142,000 miles on it, got a solid 15 MPG. Average comfortable cruising speed 60 mph. 50 mph up all but the steepest grades. 40-45 2nd gear light to medium throttle up the worst uphill climbs. V6 used 1 qt. of oil in 2000 miles. Really love owning this little R.V.

Nope - 300 ft.

How about just staying away from Southern California?...:-)

Thanks for the input Maineah.

Someone on another forum that also posted this act suggested getting the Club...I went out and bought one and feel just a little more secure now.I hope he got it back

Thanks for the comments...to explain exactly what the furnace does is it ignites and establishes the flame then after about 3 to 5 seconds the flame lifts off the burner as if the pressure is too high and blows out. The furnace will do this repeatedly until it is turned off. The flame looks nice and blue, taking the cover and gasket off allows the flame to last just a little longer prompting me to pull the furnace (which I finally was able to do) to see if there was a combustion air problem. There is a squirrel cage fan that rotates on the same spindle as the blower and is fine. All looks clean the LP pressure looks good because the water heater burner is normal and the stove and oven flames are perfect. I think the problem is in the circuit board. No one seems to have experienced this symptom so I have not found an answer.
-
Sorry to hear that, at least it seems like a easy fix. As for now we have had quite a bit of rain since I used the proflex around the lights...I think I got the leak stopped.

Did someone think I sanded my Rv? Nope, I just used an oxidation surface compound that prepped the gel coat before the Zep. It's called Protect All - made specifically for fiberglass boats and RVs.

Thank-you for the compliment.

I probably could get between $12,000 -$15,000 if I were to sell it. My wife and I are kind of attached to it- almost like a member of the family!!! Weird but fun!
