When we purchased the coach, we noted there was a small dent in the face of the tank, about the size of a golf ball indent. It was felt that it was likely caused by the engine door hitting it or hitting/pinching the hose. There is not much room between that tank and the door so any mis-adjustment could have been an issue, and it was just cosmetic.
A couple of the buttons had poked their way through, so it was time for a new one. Ours is mounted behind the dash, which requires you to remove the panel to do the swap.
Our air conditioner’s condenser fan had been replaced once before, but was no longer operating efficiently. According to the previous owner, the auto-resettable (Type II) fuse would occasionally trip when the A/C was running. When replaced, the wiring was redone to isolate the fan load and the circuit breaker remained a 15-amp unit.
On our coach (2000/U320/36) the overflow hose exits the fresh tank, travels over the grey and black tanks, and terminates at the top of the bay divider. All of this is on the passenger side, in the Manabloc bay. The fitting then deposits any overflow (from over-filing or tight turns on a full tank) onto the bulkhead L bracket.
We replaced our Javelina tank monitor with a SeeLevel system. We learned a few things along the way and wanted to write them down for others.
When we decided to flush and fill our coolant we knew we were in for a chore. Our system holds approx 16 gallons of coolant, thats a lot to drain, recycle and refill.
In our 2000 and I believe for several model years after this, the ignition solenoid is a (2) relay system comprised of dual Bosch 0-332-002-150 75A relays. We updated this with a single more robust Blue Sea Systems 9012 Solenoid.
Our ReelCraft 5835-OLBSW23 was some ugly. The hose is a gummy disaster, the stop doughnut is not reusable, plus there is rust at the base. It also needs to have its latch and tension adjusted as it stop and retract do not function reliably.
