Re: Correct price for 2002 EVC with 17,000 miles
John Harkins
Anyone care to venture what the fair asking price for 2002 EVC should be w/17,000 miles, interior like new, car never garaged, new tires (Orig dry rotted), A/C serviced, brakes serviced, etc., car runs well. Also has orig awning, rear screen hatch cover, sunroof screen cover; top bed just installed for first time, never used.
Will sell quickly, once selling asking price established and minor cosmetic work (waxing) completed. Thanks in advance John Harkins Anglesea, NJ |

Good, you got the routine which is to get the bubbles to settle out of the lines. You will find getting the Norcold out no big deal, however, the gas line can be a little tricky. Good luck! John ----- Original Message -----

Norcold replacement for EVC?
Kris Seago
Hi all,
I've fought my share of battles with the Norcold in my '97 EVC. It works fine on shore power, fine (although for a very short period of time if not charging) on DC, terribly sporadically on propane. Will it light and stay lit on a given day? Will it cool if lit? The answers seem to lie in some odd interplay between temperature, humidity, wind speed, and how much I want the darn thing to light. Success is inversely related to the last variable. I've cleaned, burped, cleaned, blown out, lathered, rinsed, and repeated. I've essentially given up on the device as being more trouble than it's worth. I've just finished a 8 day road trip through the South using a cooler + ice (adding a fresh bag of ice daily) as I could never rely on the Norcold. Has anyone dropped in a replacement fridge? I've taken a look at some of the Waeco models and they seem promising. Kris |

Re: Replacing screens on slider windows
Hi Karen,

I have not replaced any screens in my EVCs yet, but I did have new screens made (custom job) for a rental property with non-standard windows. It's an easy gig that surprised me greatly. In Austin, Texas I found dozens of screen repair outfits (usually co- located with window installers). I took the battered up screen frames to one of them and had new ones made. It was cheap, quick, painless and easy. If I had to replace any of my EVC screens and/or the frames, I would simply take it to one of the screen outfits. I wouldn't expect the price to be more than $20, all told. I don't know where you live, but any large city ought to have screen repair outfits. Best of luck to you... and do let us know how this works out for you. Garrett cactuspaws wrote: Looking for suggestions on best place to buy replacement screens for a |

I didn't catch any previous post or mention that you were having odor issues with your Norcold. I did a quick search on your name in the archives, but didn't see any posts relating to this. What is the smell issue about? Could it be something got spilled on the exhaust flue when you were in there last? Does the same smell happen when operating on shore power or 12V? Are you going to pull the unit yet AGAIN? ;) Best of luck... please post an update. Garrett forest wrote: I am not giving any more |

Re: 3-way fridge
Stuart MacMillan
If the battery is running down while driving, you have a charging issue.

Could be a weak alternator, a bad isolation solenoid, bad connection, etc. First things first: Remove and clean the coach battery terminals and connectors. I just had this problem, and there was corrosion limiting the current flow into the battery. Then, measure the voltage with the engine at 1500 rpm on both sides of the isolation solenoid. It should be the same 13.6 volts or more. Do the same at the coach battery. Then turn on the fridge (12v of course) and check the voltage at the battery. If it drops below 12v, you have a weak alternator. If not, turn on the headlights and heater fans and check the voltage. It should still be at least 13v with all this stuff running. Good luck!

I just called Go Westy last week and they charge less to ship the whole lift kit including tires and wheels. Look for another source--I think that Teve at Europarts has them. The use of "shipping charges " to make a profit is a despicable practice. I can see charging a couple bucks for packing and whatever the actual UPS/Fed Ex fee is but anything more is a rip-off. When I'm confronted with this type of practice , I tell them that I'm going to look elsewhere and the reason that I'm doing it. Forest |

I just tried placing a order for both mufflers, 2 clamps, 3 "O" rings and 3 sensors. Shipping was like $269 alone. I don't remember the exact figure that brought my $373 order to way over $600. Needless to say I didn't "checkout".
