Re: Chassis or Dash AC capacity Acme system

Rick, I have a 96 30' Sahara and had to completely refill my system 2 years ago when my compressor had to be replaced, and I ended up using almost 5 lbs of R134A to charge my system back up. As far as to looking online for the capacity, there really isn't anyplace that has it because of the design o...

Re: Leak next to water pump

That's a water filter. Chances are it wasn't drained and froze, cracking the housing on it. Some pumps have them, some don't, so you can remove it and put a short piece of pipe in there to replace it for at least the time being. We discovered one on my brother's toy hauler in a location that takes a...

Re: Convert hot water heater from propane to electric/propane

I wonder how this could be accomplished? Seems like electric heater coils hard to add around tank? Dunno. Chuck, The bad thing about doing the HottRod kit (or any others like it) is that it replaces the anode rod (which is a bad thing in my experience). I filter all water that goes into my rig, reg...

Re: Odometer gains, but speedometer is accurate

Chuck, I used Google Maps plus another mapping program that I have, and my Odometer is still reading high. I also verified it on a leg into Spokane that I know by heart to be 60 miles (after who knows how many years of driving it, plus it's one of our State Patrol metered areas), and my odometer rea...

Odometer gains, but speedometer is accurate

This last trip confirmed for me that my odometer is reading high, but my speedometer seems to be right on the money. My GPS showed that we went 393 miles, but the in dash odometer showed that we went 452 miles, about a 13% increase. Has anyone encountered this before, and is there really anything th...

Re: Convert hot water heater from propane to electric/propane

Chuck, The hardest part (in my mind since I did the same years ago to a class C) is finding a source of 110 power and figuring out how you are going to put a switch in the circuit if that's the option you want to have. The actual tanks are exactly the same dimension, and the hookups are the same, ju...

Trip report / finally used my TSD fuel card

We took a break from it all and went over to Leavenworth, Washington for two nights last week since our previous vacation plans and efforts got thrown out the door with the current situation. This was the first trip in the Sahara in two years - last year we went to Ireland for 3 weeks which pretty m...

Re: Stove replacement or parts

Before you go tearing it out, have you looked inside the cabinet that it's mounted on to see if there's a shut off valve on the supply line? I know on my 96 Sahara with the Seaward 2 burner top that I have a shut off valve inside the cabinet on the LPG line going up to the stove top. Finding a 2 bur...

Loose mirror interiors

I've got a 96 Sahara 3044 with the side mirrors, and the drivers side has about 1/4" of play in it when you push in the top or bottom on the interior mirror assembly. Has anyone had any luck tightening up a loose mirror like those (they are Velvac Mirrors), and if so, how did you get the insert...

Re: Can anyone identify this

Without a better picture of the actual connection area, I'm going to agree with the previous posters in that it looks like a vacuum chamber of some nature. There's a somewhat simple way to tell - take a good look at the connections to the top of it - if it looks like rubber hose/tubing around the wh...
