Towing a front wheel drive is a whole new ballgame and needs some thinking through. A story to tell about 71 Revcon, Toad, wife and pucker factors: years ago,...
Gordon, Other than the EFI, the drivetrain is all stock, down to the horrible 3.07:1 axle ratio, so without a toad it still has a bit of trouble with some of...
As I've said in my messages about towing, we'll be traveling across country in our '74 250 flat-nose the first week of February. It turns out that we'll also...
Welcome Freddy, to the 77' flatnose ranks. I have a FN Tandem like Curts but different in a few ways. I don't think they ever built 2 alike. I am in the...
I agree that for stability, towing 4 down or on a dolly is not the best way, especially in ice and snow, but my flat-nose is already near the limit on the rear...
OK, for anyone looking for a late model coach, there is a 36,000 mile 1988 33' coach listed on EBAY with a buy-it-now price of $8,000!! Looks like all it needs...
Tom, I have some thoughts based on my experience towing. The later model Revcons have the same 2K# tow rating as yours does. I have towed my wife WJ which is...
Are your holding tanks insulated? If so and they are insulated similar to mine, you should be OK. I have camped in 5 degree weather and have been OK. The only...
Hi Tom - we keep our Revcon stored out of doors up here in Idyllwild, where it was in the teens, temp-wise, last week. If we don't drain everything (cuz we're...
Dave, My holding tanks are insulated, but are below the floor so they're out of the heated area. I think they'll still freeze if it's cold enough. I'll just...
Tom, that would be the same as my tanks, they hang below the coach with an insulated cover on them. Only the valves have frozen and only driving in 5 degree...
It's been fun reading about the cold-weather camping & how y'all cope with it. My wife would likely give serious thought to divorce if we went anywhere with...
Which reminds me.... A long time ago, I had to park overnight in Fargo/Morehead. It was a raging blizzard, and the highway patrol had shutdown the road I was...
Several years ago, wife, 71 Revcon and I spent two weeks at Marias pass, near glacier Park in Dec- little snow but bitter cold. Park ranger suggested we keep...
Hello to the revcon group..would sure appreciate some help/advice..trying to locate manuals on my front drivetrain and on the revcon 250 coach I just...
Try ebay. If all else fails, most tranny houses sell transmission manuals for all the transmissions they sell parts for. As for the engine, a manual for an...
Pete, Welcome, I have a few links to manual sites and a few manuals that I can try to scan, if I know what exactly you need, also I link you to some of the GMC...
While in Boise yesterday I saw my first local Revcon since I checked out the flat-nose tandem that Curt wound up buying. Unfortunately I didn't have time to...
Yes, I have looked at that one several times on the way to the airport have never been able to check it out, somebody always in a hurry. It has been there a...
There is an interesting thread running on RV.net about money spent rebuilding old coaches. Before reading that thread, I always had the perception that because...
Curt thankyou for your reply..im looking for and exploded view of the drivetrain specifically from back of engine down to trans..have heard its chain...
Since I have an 82 I don't know a lot about the toronado drive train, but they do have a chain between the converter and the transmission. It is a real heavy...
Can anyone tell me were to find some pictures of the interior of a "78" 30 foot Slant Nose Revcon? and the second ? What kind of epoxy, glue can be used to fix...
Pedro: 72 Revcon does use a chain (as Lyle says). Some say the Toronado front end bolts to the frame and can be unbolted and wheeled away others say it cannot....
Loyd: Any RV supplier has a kit for repairs. The kit is an epoxy mix. Local RV dealer claims they work well for a few years. I weld the tanks and mine have...
Ok, I'm down to chasing circuits; there's a weirdie in there somewhere, and the diagram is missing from my doc set. Anyone have one? Scanned? Fedex (my...
Thanks Steve I'll have to look into this plastic welding. I have tryed an epoxy called supper mend that an RV repair place told me about but either the suface...
Fred: The tail lights and interior lights are on ALMOST totally different circuits. The circuit used by both is the ground circuit- and Revcons are notorious...
Pete, Sorry for the delay, family probs, the Toronado does indeed have a chain I have been trying to scan a picture of it haven't got a good one yet they all...
Curt: Revconeers published a picture (I am pretty sure it was a flat nose) and, if memory serves, they left the grill in place. They just put a dolly under the...
