Well, we just got back from our maiden voyage in our "new to us" 2003 Fleetwood Providence. We LOVED it!! There's so much more room than our 2004 Winnebago Sightseer - and so many more gadgets to learn about! My hubby and I spent most of last night reading manuals and figuring out all the buttons, etc. However, there are a few things we need help with, and I'm hoping that some of you can answer these questions:
1) It says on the Diesel Engine Routine Maintenance guideline to
"Check Remote Fuel/Water Separator daily before starting engine - drain if required." We dont' even know what or where this is? We can't find reference to it in any of the manuals.
2) The rear radio mounted by the bed doesn't seem to be working. We searched for a hidden switch, etc. but found none. We're assuming maybe it's just a fuse?
3) The overhead outside "spotlight" doesn't seem to be working. We found the remote for it and read the instructions - so we're hoping it's just dead batteries. We're going to replace those. What do you think?
4) The automatic stabilizer legs are different than the "Big Foot" ones we had in our gas coach. We were told to leave the engine running to put out the slides, then turn off the coach and dump the air. But we found that the key must be clicked one click to the right to let us engage and turn on the power system for the hydraulic legs. It won't work unless I turn the key once? What are we doing wrong? Also, in our previous coach, we could put both front legs down, then both rear legs down, then adjust both right rear and front to level it from left to right. However, I only see options for front to back?
5) This morning it was quite cool, so we decided to try the heat, which apparrently can be either propane (in the basement) or electric through the air conditioner units? Anyway, I could switch it to propane heat in zone 1, but it wouldn't let me do anything in zone 2? What am I doing wrong? We couldn't find information on the specifics in the manuals. Can you give me a "step by step"?
6) The roof is a TPO roof and has left streaks down the windows. What do you use to get them off? They've come off the body of the coach nicely, but not off the windows?
I think that's it for now. I'm sure we'll come up with a few more questions!
We sure enjoyed sleeping in the FULL queen as opposed to the short queen! WONDERFUL! The additional ten feet of length and extra slide didn't hurt, either!
I don't know what we'd do without all the knowledge on this board!! Thank you!
