Well We just Dove off the deep end and ended up with a 37' MH 2000 National Tradewinds 3737 3126B Cat/ Onan 7500.


We have spent the better part of the last two days fixing the minor issues. My super slide seems to be popping the fuse ever other time I run it out/in. I just bought a can of spray from CW to hopefully solve that issue. New front step motor and gear box. Lots of cleaning and whiskey(thanks babe now slow down on your JD shots). New 12 water pump thanks to the local RV dealer that had abused one laying around. The only major issue I have now is the fridge. Ever time I kick it on to gas the check liight comes on. I believe I have purged the gas lines but I still need to look deeper. We learned today that if the fuel gauge is down to 3/8 you gen shuts the hell off. Damn it man 100 degrees.

Any thoughts would be great!!!!

National made a great coach. They did not go under due to poor quality/construction. As to the fridge, open the outside access and clean the flue and all associated parts by blowing them clean with compressed air (naturally while gas is shut off). Npte: All coaches are originally designed for the gen to shut down at no lower than 1/4 of a tank to keep you from running out of fuel while driving down the road. For the not so faint at heart you can extend the gen fuel pickup tube but then it's on you if you run out of fuel (I extended mine because if I was going up/down hill it shut off at about 1/2 a tank).

I'd check the wiring on the slide motor for loose wires or bad ground.
