Door and Seat Questions and HELP needed

powerboatr · 04-19-2009, 09:57 AM

I have two problems that i am getting miffed with
first is the entry door, you have to almost slam it to get it to latch, i found if i pull up on the handle a little it and close the door rather quickly it will latch , but it seems to rattle the whole coach.

2nd
the passenger seat adjustments (electric) don't work. the foot rest will run out but the up and down or fore and aft do not, i checked the cb in the panel in the compartment under the drivers window and its good

plus teh docking lights do not come on??? any ideas???

thanks

oh she does drive pretty good for a bus,

Ret Navy, There is some adjustment on the door strike that you might be able to fine tune, but on mine it is close to being in the same position as yours and I am out of adjustment room.

The seat sounds like it could be a fuse blown, but I guess you have already checked that. Other thing could be a plug, unplugged under the seat or somewhere between the seat and fuse panel. Electrical problems can be tough to trace. John H...

i did find the plug undone int the wire loom for the seat, thank goodness it wasnt any thing serous.

the door i am still investigating,
i did however fix the crushed a/c vents for the dash air

somehow the huge wiring harness for the in dash dvd radio thingy was crushing the vent hoses

still drying out the basement from a water leak in the kitchen hose that feeds the pacemaker. i guess it wanted to wait a day to start going drip drip drip.

positives, all the tvs are wired up right, dvd works, sat works as advertised.

pulled all the drawers out and vacumed up saw dust and found quite the collection of screws and fittings, had a similiar event in our cedar creek so it must be an industry thing, have a few air lines that need warpped in anti chafe material up front under the access panel.
all in all we be happy campers

need to adjust the mirro posts for a TALL person,

Same thing for with the mirrors (I'm 6'3"), I noticed that my dock lights don't come on either. Any fix on yours yet?

Couple little things with mine too but so far nothing major. Got one bedroom slideout doesn't go all the way and had a windshield wiper that was slapping the side of the bus, come to find out on the a bolt was loose and the washer hose wasn't connected. Fixed this one on the side of the road. I am very happy with the coach and do expect some things to be wrong and thankfully nothing major!

We had to have our door adjusted three times before it was correct and broken in. Infuriating to drive off and have it come open.

The dock lights will work only in reverse with at least the parking lights on as well.

Like John H., mine was out of whack just enough to make it irritating esp. after quiet hour in the CG. My adjustment was at it's limits. I had to remove the adjustment plate (where the door latch pins go in) and tweak it with a Dremel tool and grinder until it closed easy enough yet let the gaskets still make contact so air whistles and water infiltration weren't problems. It's tough to see so use chalk on the dead bolt and catch to see where they're missing. Careful and take your time.

i spent about 30 minutes with a jewelers file, now the deadbolt full travels,
a few more rattle abatement tricks for the door and i think it will be good
i did find the electric step thing had a piece of support steel not attached tightly on one end and it was rattling on the metal tread, loose hardware will get you every time

Expo, That is what I will have to do also, but I may be able to Dremel it in place, without removing the strike. It doesn't need much. Or I could take off the strike and file out the mounting holes for further adjustment. John H...
