![]() ![]() I have removed the table, pillows, and some of the cabinet doors in order to preserve them inside, this will also let you see every nook and cranny of this coach. The house electrics all work when plugged into mains even though there is not currently a house battery equipped on the coach. The propane system has not been tested and the refrigerator / old generator have been removed (it is honestly better to replace the fridge with a residential one and the generator with one that is more modern). The roof was resealed by a previous owner but the nature of the thermopanel construction means that this roof should be replaced or repaired soon (there are several guides on how to do this). Water damage is common for anyone familiar to vintage trailers and we have restored several with worse damage. The body of the coach does have some water damage due to a leak, causing a few parts of the body to be ballooned on the inside (there shouldn't be any structural issues, but these areas should be fixed). I am currently working on replacing the igntion coil, ecu, and voltage regulator. I am currently fighting an issue (as mentioned before) where the alternator is overcharging the battery due to a short or a bad voltage regulator (costs around 30 bucks and I have 2 spares that will come with the sale). ![]() By the time of this AD the oil should be changed with a new filter. Restored battery area with new coach battery (no house battery). The rear axle was also drained of oil and the inspection cover was resealed and painted. Rear and front axles were given new bearings, races, and grease along with being re-sealed in the rear. Restored gas tank was relined and given a new fuel sending unit as well as an inline fuel filter. Full brake system restoration with new master cylinder, booster, calipers, rotors, pads, lines (soft and a few hard), drums, shoes, drum hardware and wheel cylinders. The vehicle runs and drives, with only one issue that would make long distance transport a bit problematic (see below).Here is a list of everything I have done to the vehicle: I bought this coach at the end of last year with plans to restore it. This Winnie is the smallest of the bunch, easily driven around by someone who isn't used to driving motor homes (much like myself). Can it be that you flipped a switch that you didn't know what it's for? Now these switches can also be installed on the negative wire so be sure to check both wires from the battery.Up for sale is my classic 1973 Winnebago Brave D18. A lot of owners install them out of sight of make it a flipswitch with a relay for obvious reasons. follow your wiring (both positive and negative). When you still don't have power anywhere it can also be that there is a cutoff switch installed. ![]() When you've done this you should at least have power to your lights and dome light. If they are dull and corroded cut them until you are on clean copper again. Next to this, check the state of the wiring to the connectors. If there is a fusible link you should find it.Īnother tip that can help, clean the poles and connectors of your Chassis battery, reconnect and tighten the connectors. But you never know what P.O's make up, so follow the positive cable to the first point. any help would be greatly appreciatedĪs far as I know there isn't a main fusible link that protects the total powersupply from the battery to the system. My question is where does the power come from to power the chassis (I know the battery)? does the power go to the fuse box then the key or vice versa? Off the isolator solenoid chassis side the only large gauge wire runs to the starter relay and then to the starter. after a little troubleshooting, I discovered that there is no power ANYWHERE (no lights interior or exterior, no fan, no start, no power at the fuse box, no power running up the steering column). Today I was going to take it to a buddy's house to give it a little TLC and replace the relay it would not start, no biggy, right? crawl under it and try to jump the relay again and nothing. As this has happened once before I just crawled under her and jumped the starter relay, went on my way, got home, and ordered a relay from napa. ![]() I took it to for a pretty long ride last weekend and stopped at a park to let the dog run and when I attempted to restart I lost the ability to engage the starter. I have pretty much had it running in pretty good shape and am planning on a 700 road trip to Louder Than Life in Louisville. Firstly thanks to all the good info on here, I would not be where I am today without all the help from you guys!Īnywho. ![]()
