    We have a 2012 Forester. The A/C is Just blows out the defrost and floor vents. So we must have a vacuum leak. We pulled the red vacuum line on the passenger side under the hood by the battery apart. One end has good vacuum from the engine, the other end when sucked on has no restrictions when...

    Ford E-Series Hub Caps Instead of Wheel Simulators

    I've never been a fan of the wheel simulators used on most Class C's. We've had them come off, interfere with an add on TPMS, and just be noisy. So when we ordered our new motorhome I specified that the wheel simulators were not be installed as I had other plans. I didn't want the wheels paint...

    Thetford range in Lexington GTS 283 2015 (2014) - have you found any documentation?

    Hi, this is our first time dewinterizing and at first try the burner would not start. It is functioning now, I guess that it just needed to wait for enough propane to get there. As I'm building my own library, I realized that I had not yet looked for the documentation for the Thetford...

    Ford camera mount on Furrion base?

    I haven't been up on the ladder yet to examine it closely but has anyone had success with a particular adapter to mount a Ford camera (probably pretty generic) on the OEM Furrion camera base? I'm hoping it can be compact but suspect not.

    Hello Everyone, this is my first post after sometime browsing this site for a few months. After sometime on the road on my 22 ft shuttle bus to camper conversion. The rear suspension is very jolting, which it appears normal for E350/E450 Cutaway RV conversions. After some research I thought...

    Ford trailer TPMS

    For those of you having experience with Ford's trailer TPMS system, can I get a 5th sensor to monitor the spare? My impression is that it will monitor up 6 tires. If true, I can register the spare as a 5th tire and ignore the 6th, but I haven't confirmed that. Also, in my experience, the truck...

    Ford trailer TPMS

    I just bought a new-in-box Ford wired camera and TPMS kit. (I don't have it, yet.) The kit has 4 TPMS sensors. I want one for the spare, too. I assume the sensors in the trailer kit are the same as installed on new vehicles. Are TPMS sensors a generic item that any tire shop carries? Or do I...

    Ford trailer TPMS

    I'm contemplating adding a Ford trailer TPMS kit to my trailer. Specs for the sensors state that: I have no clue whether the 15 inch wheels on my Mini-Lite match that description. Can someone share their wisdom on the matter?

    Improvement Valve Stems on Ford E450 SuperDuty

    So I'm putting new tires on both of my rear duallys and want to put the best metal valve stems in I can find. I believe my outer tire has a metal stem but the inside tire has a long rubber stem to access for air. I also use TST flo-thru sensors on the end of each that need to be held securely...

    Thetford grinder grinding on something...

    Anytime I turned the Thetford grinder on when emptying the waste tanks, it would routinely makes a loud grinding and rattling sound. Now it has bound up and won't spin, so had to pull the bottom cover to see what the issue is. I find a cutout chunk of my rig's gray floor tile wedged in it. My...

    Ford 6.2/10 vs Chevy 6.6/6?

    I'm looking for a new used truck to haul the family around and tow recreationally. I'd like to go gas for both budget constraints and avoiding diesel emissions problems. In my budget I can find F350s with the 6.2 and 10 speed, and Chevy/GMC 3500s with 6.6 and 6 speed. Truck will be crew cab, box...

    2024 2350le ford spare tire info

    I own a 2024 Sunseeker 2350le built on a Ford chassis, which interestingly doesn't include a spare tire. However, there is a rod attached underneath the chassis intended for holding a spare. I'm curious if a spare tire could actually fit in this designated spot, and if so, why the model doesn't...

    Ford Notice and Coachmen Freelander

    We have a 2022 Freelander 31MB on the Ford E450 Econoline Chassis. I received a letter from Ford yesterday saying that Ford overstated the horsepower and torque and offered a rebate. Setting the rebate aside, what does this mean to my rig? Is the chassis adequate for my rig now??? Sorry I...

    Ford Dealership

    For my oil change, I first contacted the two local Ford Dealerships. Neither of them was willing to have anything to do with a 32 foot Class A (FR3-30DS) motorhome. They both said that it was too big for their shop and they just did not do any work in their parking lot; not even an oil change...

    Draining Bradford White Hot Water Heater Issue

    Following information in a thread several years old, I have been able to successfully drain my BW hot water tank each year. However this afternoon when I opened the pressure relief valve, I only got less than a half cup of water out, dribbling very slowly. The only thing I can think of that I...

    Aargh! I go to plug in a phone into the USB port on the dash (see photo) and the connectors fall inside, back behind the dashboard. Does anyone know how to get to them to reconnect them back to the dashboard? Thanks.

    Ford V8

    Really like the new motor. We have a 40’ motor home. Had the V10 in a 38’ before. V8 has more power and is quite. Fuel economy slightly better. 8 to 9 versus 7 to 8.
