Maybe a dumb question but does the compressor turn on? Temperature selector working (not stuck on
hot)? Is this a model with Climatronic automatic or manual A/C?

Even if hot, can you tell if the air coming out is truely air-conditioned or not (does it feel
like the ambient air's humidity level or as if it's been de-humidified? Remember that A/C air by
the time it reaches the cabin can still be heated so just going on temperature alone being hot
doesn't mean the A/C isn't turning on.

I have a 2001 EV, great van but the air went out. I recharged with refrigerant but the air still blows hot. Any ideas about what can be wrong? Thanks!


Re: Name Your Camper!

My wife named our MV (not a camper) Sophie, my three year old calls her
Snophie. We got our van used and the user's manual had some child writing
on it that said "Sophie" so my wife decided that it was our van's writing.
Kind of funny!

Ours is named "Whitehorse" after the town in Yukon, Canada along the

Recommendation for where to get spare parts/accessories online

Michael Olsen
 

I need to get a number of spare parts for my EVC'97, including

waste water valve and cap
bike rack (rear) for carrying 3 bikes
exterior cover for the propane tank
Norcold fridge panel (I did see an earlier posting on this)

Any recommendation on good sites (I do know about gowesty)?

Might I get someone to measure where the rearview mirror is supposed

the top of the window to the mirror is what I am looking for I guess,
I assume it should be position dead center left to right.

Our '95 EVC is "La Baquette" We had a '72 VW camper years ago which we bought at the factory and travelled Europe in for 4 months. We named it the same thing because it reminded us of a French loaf of bread. -Jack

Probably,
ev_update members get a discount at several suppliers, including eurocampers.
Go to the yahoo ev-update site and I think the discount code is there under
files, but not positive.

"Hi Jim,

What have they done to test the ECU? There are a number of things
that can go wrong. I had a bunch of trouble with my ignition and
after many hours and rounds of testing I think the problem was bad
grounds, which caused the ECM to fail (twice, actually).

Have them double check the vacuum hose connection to the ECU "


I second Ian's trouble shooting procedured and will go one further. There's lso a short section of vacuum hose inside of the ECM. It goes from the nipple on the inside of the cover to a bellows mounted on the circuit board. That piece was bad on my 93 EV and caused it to run poorly and generate a code but did not totally stop it from running.

Re: Michelin tires no more

Miles Koppersmith
 

Several others have reported great results after upgrading to the
235/60/HR16 size made by Kumho. It is the Road Ventuer APT KL51 Highway
All-Season tire with a 104H load rating and a UTQG rating of 600AA for
about $89 at TireRack.Com. They even report that it rides smoother and
quieter than the original Michelin MXV4's and there were no problems
with wheel well or fender clearance.

My plan is to switch to a set of them for my 2002 EVC when the current
225/60/R16 102H UTQG 400AA Michelin MXV4 Plus tires need replacing
since Michelin has discontinued the 102H rated tires which we need for
the vehicle. My only concern is making sure that it will still fit
under my garage door opening which is already very tight with the
original 225 tires. Hopefully the 235's will still give me enough
clearance.

Hope this helps.

Re: Rear Screen Installation

 

I just purchased the same thing. I found that the bottom two snaps
fit better if they are towards the middle of the van a bit instead of
being at the corners of the hatch opening. However, if you locate the
snaps low, you will pinch the cloth if you close the hatch with the
screen in place. I ended up installing two more snaps further up on
the plastic walls of the battery and electric panel compartments (and
used snaps with machine screws instead of sheet metal ones). I have
so far only installed the two snaps at the bottom and will see if I
can get away without the upper snaps.

I purchased a Winnebago rear hatch screen from a dealer's old stock.
The screen is new, but there are no instructions (or snaps). It
shouldn't be too hard to buy some snaps and manually locate them, but
if anyone has the instructions and would like to post them in the files
or e-mail them to me, it would be a helpful starting point.

I did find some photos/suggestions in the "Links" section, and these
will probably be good enough. I gather that the instructions may not
be that acurate.
