Window to coach sealer/gasket

' I'm starting the first of four window rebuilds in my 98' Serengeti due to fogging. I have the window loose and ready to lower to the ground but I have a question I hope someone can answer. I'm familiar with the two common gaskets used between the frame and the coach siding - Butyl putty, and foam ...

Re: Pround New Owner of a 2000 32' Safari! I have questions

'Ross, Congratulations on the new rig. They are nice coaches. I always liked that color scheme when I was shopping for a Safari.  My 98' 37 foot Serengeti brake pedal pressure took a little getting used to because It seemed firmer than anything else I've driven before. That said, I find the brakes o...

Re: Movin goods with a "Magna Cart"

'Bill, I use one too and think they are great. I used to strap a regular hand truck to my rear ladder until I came across this folding version on sale in a local hardware store. The only drawback is the smaller wheels don't work as well on bumpy ground but that's a small price to pay for the added c...

Re: ceiling stains

'Never heard of the Folex before, but from what I can tell, it's a non-ionic surfactant. Non-ionic just means ph neutral. Sounds like it would be worth a try.  For me I've used water with some "oxy-clean"(hydrogen peroxide) and a couple drops of dawn in a small bucket of warm water to clea...

Re: Chassis battery cut off switch?

'Thanks everyone, you've all addressed many of my own thoughts. I was afraid of putting a switch at the batteries because of the large load applied when starting. I didn't know if the engine and transmission ECUs needed continuous power to keep their memories. I have the motorhome at my house this w...

Chassis battery cut off switch?

' The place where I store my 1998 3706 Serengeti does not supply any 110v power so I can't leave my coach plugged in while in storage.  I've experienced dead chassis batteries when I go to take it out of storage for use throughout the year. This last weekend the chassis batteries were dead after onl...

Re: Cannot remove air in fuel filter system pre filter

I just found this PDF document that mentions priming the system and that the clear prefilter will be partly filled with fuel. Looks like I'm good to go.

Re: Cannot remove air in fuel filter system pre filter

Thanks! 
After fiddling with the filter for a couple hours I decided to throw caution to the wind and started the engine. It ran just fine.

Re: Cannot remove air in fuel filter system pre filter

My system is a Racor 90S1230C, and I just installed the RK12963 upgrade filter kit and changed the secondary filter at the same time.. There isn't a priming pump on the secondary filter housing, just an electric priming pump on the primary housing. I pre filled the secondary filter before installing...
