Done with MH
 

Im going back to a 5th wheel, these things are just not worth the hassle anymore. Put a reman ECM in back in May, now it will not start again, i think the ECM is bad again. If some one forks over 12 grand they can have this thing. Tired of paying $600 a year for insurance when i barely use this 3 times a year.

What brand and size? Any pics?

Well that is one way to sell a vehicle. First tell everyone what a piece of ---- it is and then don't give any type of description of what you want to sell. Hey, I got $11,000 sitting around, will you take it?

Well, it was supposed to be in my signature

Problem solved.

Its a 99' Safari continental panther 425, 40' long, 1 slide. Body is in fairly good condition but missing a fender panel and compartment door. i can get pics, drives great when it runs, but if it is the ECM again, i am not messing with it. the Cat C12 and Allison are worth it.

And i was not really ,selling it here, just venting

Have you researched possible reasons why the ECM would burnout?

Maybe the fix is in a service bulletin.

Might just pay to check into it a little more.

Then get it running and sell it. It is a sellers market for motorhomes right now

Well this summer was anyhow. I am sure it is slowing down, but still good.

Darn. $11K is way under market.

Biggest issue I have is the nearest mechanic with Cat software is 100 miles away.
And u don't know about the market for motor homes, but I can tell ya funding a boat right now us a B

"barely use it 3 times a year?" I'd sell it too, but why invest in something else that is going to sit around going un-used?

This one runs great when I get it started, but the body has issues

Update on this, i have not touched the MH since i started this thread, went out 2 days ago, started right up. I got gremlins, buddy said i may have had a serious vapor lock and it took a few days to get out. Still looking to fix it up if i can find the body panels and sell.

Didn't know a diesel could get vapor lock. Interesting

I'd say if you use the MH so rarely, you'd definitely be better off with a 5th wheel.

I also didn't know that a diesel engine could suffer of vapour lock...Learned something new today.

If the transient suppressor was not replaced at the same time as the ECM it was asking for trouble. Cummins will not replace the ECM, lift pump or main pump unless the transient suppressor is also replaced, nor will they honor any of those parts warranty.
I can't speak to CAT engines.

Well, i think he was referring to air in the line, on these C12's, there is a bleeder valve that you can unscrew the bleed to air out. Hes a gas guy, doesn't work on diesels.

I never had to mess with that when we replaced those on the Cat engines when i worked at the Bus Depot. MY guess is the diode would be integrated into the ECM

We would like to travel more, but this big pusher is just not family friendly.
