Recreational Vehicles (RVs)

It is not recommended to tow all four wheels down. Chrysler wants you to use a vehicle dolley and tow with either front of the vehicle up or rear of vehicle up in the dolley. Just reading from the service manual. I cant even find a procedure do it if you do tow with four wheels on ground. Hope this helps.

no you must take driveshaft loose and tie it up. but do not remove or you will loose all trans fluid. if driveshaft not unhooked trams damage will happen

Well first you drag it with another car. Dur.

A diagram for a vacuum system of a 1976 440 Dodge motor home can found in its maintenance manual. It can also be found in its repair manual.

Motorhomes that age should have the VIN on the drivers side door, if not there, then as you stand facing the motor home from the front, should be on the left frame,

IIRC, when I hauled loads of just three chassis from the Mexican border to Freightliner, the total shipping weight of just the three chassis was 16,000 lbs.

i did my brakes most of the time it will only need an hour of my time to do both front brakes.....

Depending on the relative size of your hybrid and your motor home, yes: there is nothing different about a hybrid v. ordinary car that stops it being towed with its front wheels off the ground.

Of course there might be some issue if the car in question is a full-time 4-wheel-drive car; but that applies at least equally to non-hybrids. (I've never seen such a car as a hybrid, but perhaps they exist.)

The 1985 Southwind motor home brake fluid is checked by sliding the master cylinder top retaining clips off the lid to expose the 2 brake fluid holding chambers, the master cylinder is located in the drivers side front hood area high but directly in front of where the brake pedal is located.

Good idea to remove as much of the old as you can before filling it up, brake fluid goes bad as it absorbs moisture out of the atmosphere thus reducing it's boiling point which could cause early brake failure under harsh conditions as well as causes rust inside the system. Roger

Is it possibl to change a diesal engine in a ford duetto 1995, for a turbo engine.

Right now would be the perfect time to buy an RV because spring is about here but its still winter so you could get one cheaper and be ready. If you're trying to sell an RV then wait a couple months so you can raise the price and have more people looking around for them.

Generally, yes. If you don't have it, it is possible for apply for a lost title at the DMV.

Check you transmission kick down rod. It sounds like you have a bad linkage--trans will not downshift sometimes when you going up a hill.

Yes, only if it has a manual transmission. If you tow an automatic for more than 40 miles, or over 45MPH, you will ruin the transmission.

this is not necessarily correct. depends on year of montero. mine is a 1989 dodge raider (re-badged montero sold by dodge), v-6, 4wd AUTO. it flat tows behind either of our motorhomes by putting the transfer case shifter in the 'false' neutral that exists (without being labeled on the floor plate). i built a simple hinged bracket going across the top of the plate, which catches the shifter in neutral for towing. took about an hour to do it. this fully disengages the tranny for flat towing. several folks i know use this method, saving me from frying mine while attempting it the first time. THIS WORKS ON 1ST GEN MONTEROS! don't know about anything other than 1987-1989 models.

I would like to contact someone who has a Dodge Raider V6, automatic, 4wd and has used this technique for towing. I have one and would like to do this but need a bit more information. Thank You!

From what I have read in the shop manuals for the 1979 and 1980 Exciters, there was a change between those 2 years where the CDI was not interchangeable due to the timing. So, I'm not sure how well it would run if you used one from a 1978 Exciter in a 1981 Exciter, or if you would eventually burn down the motor. However, if you have installed one, and it is working, then that's great.

Many 1000's of riders have concluded the Banshee likes +4 degrees of timing advance. That means rotating the stator plate Clockwise to make the spark happen earlier.

6 mpg in mine, I know a couple careful people that claimed 10 mpg

NO!!!!!!!!!!!

yes... If you place the transfer case in neutral. The problem with towing automatic transmission vehicles, is that the transmission is not operating, therefore the pump is not pumping fluid throughout the tranny. This results in melted seals & seized brass bushings, because the output shaft is turning, but no oil is present. However, the transfer case is located after the tranny. Placing the transfer case in neutral will disengage the tranny from the drivetrain, and the truck will free-roll. On 2 wheel drive vehicles, you would have to remove the driveshaft & plug the tail of the tranny with a plastic shipping plug (prevents fliud leakage)

The above answer is correct, but if you simply unbolt the driveshaft to the rear wheels, wrap the universal joint with duct tape and secure the drive shaft to the frame or exhaust with sturdy wire, you can tow it a jillion miles without harm. This saves having to pull the drive shaft from the tranny or obtaining a shipping plug as he suggests.

If it's a serpentine belt, all you have to do is put a socket on the tensioner pulley, rotate it counterclockwise, and that should give you the slack you need to remove the belt. You do the same thing installing the new belt, and refer to the belt diagram when routing the belt.

yes it can and if its for a long distance consider removing your drive shaft

To install drive belt on a 1999 Kawasaki Prairie 400 4x4, access the engine area and remove the cover that holds the clutch. Remove the drive belt around the clutch at the right side of the engine. Replace with new.

Check if you have secondary timing marks installed. Mine are bolted to the oil pan and easily accessible from the bottom. Instead of using cyl #1 for setting the timing, you will have to use #5 or #8 (to make up for the 90 degrees offset to the factory timing marks
