Re: New Owner of a '95 Sahara 33' DP

Yes, brushed stainless steel on the outside of the older units like yours, and aluminum in the inside, with insulation foam in between. I'm not 100% sure, but if memory serves me correctly, the rivets are stainless. Post a photo of the valve in question. It sounds like that is the fresh water fill t...

Re: New Owner of a '95 Sahara 33' DP

Things I could use some help with: 1) Are the factory solar panels connected to a controller or straight to the batteries? Here is the link to one of my posts back from 2018 regarding the location of the inline fuse IF your coach does not have a charge controller installedl. Also, besides the place...

Re: 95 Serengeti - Have Running Lights but no High/Low Headlights

It is possible that your headlight switch went bad, so you would also need to test that. If it is bad, pick up a headlight switch at the auto parts store. Tell them that you need a headlight switch for an '86 Ford Bronco or F150, as that will be a direct replacement for a '95 model year. I'm not su...

Re: Dometic Penguin AC

<t>Something to keep in mind, the heating elements will generate 5120BTU each, at best, probably a bit less. Your furnace produces 20K BTU or more, and since these coaches don't have very good insulation, coupled with big windows, you might want to consider supplementing with a vent free, or a direc...

Re: Need rotors for SMC M-series "Blue Max" chassis

From reading the post, it looks like it's probably Safari part numbers. If you read his whole post, he mentions some brands and part numbers that were cross referenced. If you are interested, there is a fellow Safari owner that has brand new Cryo rotors that he wants to sell, because his coach got t...

Re: Ride height?

Believe me, if I knew, I would have told you already, unfortunately I do not know, but trying to figure it out. I saw that Brett pointed you in the right direction, so I figure I would mention the shocks as a btw/helpful info, because I saw the shock part numbers, and am familiar with those particul...

Re: Allison trans / no start power

To add to what Duane has stated. On older coaches the engine ECM and the Allison Transmission VIM/TCM are fed by two 10 ga wires, one to positive, with inline fuse for each, the ECM and TCM, that connect directly to the battery positive, and one each for ground, that connect directly to the battery ...

Re: Speedometer and Odometer acting like Tach

It almost sounds that the wires feeding the tach and speedometer were accidentally reversed/swapped. Was there any sensors changed or work done on the coach, where this could have accidentally happened?
