' I'm most likely doing this wrong but have had good success for many years even though it is a bit of a pain in the butt. Also, no one mentioned the refrigerator ice maker or the washer. First I fill the empty black holding tank about 1/3 full with fresh water, add some detergent and a bag of ice (...

' A lot of good suggestions here. The trick is when you are removing a bolt, when does it break free or break? Hindsight tells us we should have soaked it with PB or other or heated the casting with a torch. Heat works wonders. And there are times where the bolt has lost it's integrity over time and...

' Bob and Bob from another Bob I recently had a similar problem with the water belt tensioner. It was a whole litany of 2 steps backwards but was finally able to move forward. I found my water pump belt loose while looking at another problem. Put a socket on the tensioner adjusting bolt and it buste...

' We bought the Zanzibar in 2006, the first year we volunteered in Mississippi after Katrina. I think we had it for 2 years when it developed the leak. Don't quote me but I think it cost around $500 for only the tank, no valves and was only primed so I put several coats of paint on it. Installation ...

' Kristen and All: I can't tell you were to purchase a tank, when mine developed a leak I got it from Monaco or whoever owns them now. Funny story but not at the time.........What I can tell you is that when mine developed a leak it was just after I filled it, forget what size but it runs the width ...

' John: No air horns, just a little toot toot from the electrical like a car horn but a very sick car horn. The bell on my old tricycle was louder. Hence, having air to the dash for the E brake, branch off (on the supply side) for some trucker air horns that will cause those dog walkers to use more ...

' Thanks Mel: Don't know much about other coaches and still learning about my 99 Zanzibar. I also have hydraulic brakes and been thru diagnosing why a front wheel hangs up from caliper piston to collapse lines to proportioning valve and winds up to be the master cylinder. Addressing the air compress...

' Joe: I am not sure what your planed use for a compressor is but I just carry an air hose with me. It's 50 ft long so it will reach all my tires and inflate any inflatables that need inflating. I just crawl under the back of the RV and hook it up to the air tank reservoir bleeder and turn it on. Ma...

'Attachments : John: A little late but just read the posts regarding shocks. There was a question within them about ride height. A few years back I lost my drive shaft in New Mexico on our way to Vegas. Long story short and after a lot of research, my ride height was off by a fair amount which creat...

' I for one am very grateful for this site and have benefitted from it's members experiences and technical knowledge several times. We all have different opinions regarding the best tires, how often they should be replaced no matter how good they look and the like but it's all a learning experience ...
