This is more diffcult than I thought it would be. The good news is Freightliner had the two 'upper' hoses, though one, IMO, qualifies as a lower hose...of...
Hi Kelly, Thanks for the great write-ups on your mechanical adventures. The one on AC's repair in the heat, made me look like a genius last weekend when my...
No problem, Jim, that's one thing I really like to hear is people benefitting from things I've learned. No sense in having to figure it out if someone already...
Richard, was the icemaker something that required professional installaion, or did you do it yourself? And, does it involve more than working inside the ...
Hi Kelly, It was hot for MN, about 85 deg for a couple days. The little clip- on part was burned to a crisp, and the capacitor looked like it also had...
Jeff, Certain fridges have an ice maker built in. Mine does as does many other new Bounder Diesels that I have seen, but my fridge was an option. The ...
Well, it'll likely last a year. Ours did, almost to the day. After replacing it last year, it was in Vegas for a good month of mid-one- teens. We're...
I am unsure about later models, but our '99 39Z has a switch for the propane solenoid at the propane fill point in (under) the right-rear compartment. While...
Sometimes when we travel this time of year, friends in a 5th-wheel trailer will accompany us. If we need to overnight in the heat, we just run the diesel...
I can't think of a way to do it without modifications. First, you need 30A, which the wall outlets will not provide. Secondly, you'd have to have the load...
Carol, As a former electrician, my answer is YES, it can be done.(my coach is modified for just such ocassion) However, I would have to see a schematic of...
Nah, Lost Wages...114F at the airport, yesterday, which means closer to 120 in the real world. Not pleasant, that's for certain. Kelly ... here, and I...
Findlay RV doesn't come up in conversation, either pro or con, but by all means avoid Wheeler's RV, on way South Las Vegas Blvd. That place I've heard nothing...
I have a 2006 Bounder 38N. When it is in storage with the batteries disconnected the Auxiliary Start Relay turns on and off. It connects for about one minute...
Yes Kelly, we went into Wheeler one time for an estimate on something and were appalled at the labor rate--$125/hour! And the 'technician' we talked with...

Carol, Basically, I isolated the rear AC circuit and ran it through a 30 amp outlet in the original junction box that served as the power inlet. (located in...
OK, Rich, thanks for the details. We'll ponder that set-up and see how it might work in our rig. The only thing we might do differently is that in our...
My coach 3 years old. The factory coach batteries are Trojan T105's. I am shopping for replacements, and I see the Trojan T145's are about the same size and...
Bob, I can't address the T145s as I replaced mine with AGM batteries. I am happy I did. I admitted to myself that I would not be as attentive to my ...
If you look in the Photos section, you will see under 'Boni's Bounder 2002 39R', you will see our solution. It was $1075 from AJL Solar last spring for 6...
Jim or Bonnie, is there a better/best type or brand for AGM batteries. Mine are getting ready for replacement too. Mike Orange Beach Al 01 37K ... From: Jim...
Mike, I don't know about a best place to get them, but I know of two different people in Bounder Diesels that have put in Lifeline brand of AGM batteries. The...
Does anyone know of a source of cabinet and drawer handles that will match the ones in my 05 Bounder 39Z? Mine are antique brass type with what could be called...
