... Derrell, Thanks a million. I can't believe it, lifted up on the panel as instructed, and wa-la! sitting right before my eyes is the automotive fuse box,...
Does anyone know if the instrument panel lifts up like this on a 2001 39Z? If so, does it lift front to back or side to side? Thanks. John B Holly Mich 2001...
This is for the side-by-side, FWIW, in the older Bounders. I'm not sure how the four-door fridges work, but I'd wager it's similar. I don't know about y'all,...
Kelly, Our Norcold four door does not use the "Mini compressor" to make ice. Our four door works just as a regular house ice maker works. IF you want you can...

Sure should. My '99 39Z has it, though there was a change when they went to the front door. My apologies, I haven't watched this thread from the beginning, so...
Actually, I think the flip up dash disappeared in 2001 in the diesel coaches. It was definitely phased out by 2002, since I have one and the dash board is...
You are not going to believe this, but I emailed Fleetwood, giving the exact model, ser#, year, and everything, asking them this question. Got a very nice...
Just some feed back. I tried to flip up the dash today but it wouldn't budge. So, at least on my model, they quit that option. Thanks for everyone's input. ...
"Just grab the dash panel on the lip and push up. Hope this helps." CAUTION: Don't do this if there is about 18 screws just under the rear lip in front of...

Don't know about the bearings but you will be passing through states that require brakes on your toad, especially California. From: "jerriallayne"...
Take a VERY close look at your front wheel hubs. If your coach is like the 1999 39Z that my buddy owns, then you have oil filled hubs. These do not require...
Hi; You have oil bath wheel bearings on your rig. I don't know what the oil change time is on these, but I would think you would be OK if you check the oil ...
The wheel bearing service is done once a year and involves draining about a cupful of synthetic wheel bearing oil out and refilling to the line visible on the...
Hi Jerri, Well since you have decided to come to California, bring plenty of money. I just passed the gas station here in San Diego, CA, diesel fuel was $2.85...
Thanks for all the info on my wheel bearings and mountain driving. Another question I have is about Hwy. 1 in Calif. Can I take my 39z with toad on this hwy...

Jerri, I would agree with Bob that you can do Highway 1. You will have a fairly narrow road in some areas, but most are just fine. When it gets narrow, ...
Hi Jerri, The following location is one of the better spots to watch the Sun go down over the Pacific Ocean. Your passenger/patio side is parked facing the...

Hello Jerry I have a 1999, 39Z with 67,000 miles on it. I have checked and changed the lubricant in the front wheels twice now since the MH was new. There is...
The oil bath on these has to be the easiest method of keeping the bearings crud-free and frequently serviced, as it's ultra-easy to change the oil. DD covered...
Let state the road to Deadhorse, AK, i.e. The Haul Road, is definitely NOT MH-friendly. We went 7 miles in before turning around. The dust was a killer, and...
