Hopefully Ron will jump in soon since he is probably the most knowledgeable.

I'm getting ready to replace the rear leaf springs on my 2006 Gulfstream Endura on the Kodiak 5500 chassis. It appears the 80 gallon fuel tank needs to be lowered so It almost empty. Any advise would be welcome.

I never replaced my control panel. After some research I found that ground wire at valves was bad. I was also having problems with slides not operating properly. Put new ground wire directly to battery.
Here is link to wire harness drawing to control panel.

Good afternoon Ron
I just purchase a Golfstream Ultra Supreme 32' and i do have a problem with the control and i can not find any replacement unless i have to buy a $1600 convertion kit.
I am wondering if you work to operate those legs with only taggle swiches and if so you should have some sketches and switches required .
I would like appreciate your assistance.

Yahoo Message Number: 15377
I did a write up on how to install switches to by pass 1702 control board. But does not seem to have posted. Must be Yahoo. I will do it again.
Slides are run the same as Jacks. When one of the slide wall switches are pressed. Pump is run in direction that slide is to move. The valve for moving that slide is opened. To change direction pump is run in opposite direction by pressing other side of switch and valve is opened for that slide.
The main difference for jacks is the ability to raise all jacks at the same time. Using this information I would purchase 3 momentary OFF/ON switches to open the valves for right rear, left rear and front. 1 momentary ON/OFF/ON switch to run the pump in either direction. 1 OFF/ON switch to turn on power to the other 4 switches. This could also be a key switch for safety. Relays could be added for engine of and emergency brake control of power to switches. A 5th switch could be added to retract all the jacks. It would open the 3 jack valves and run pump in correct direction to raise jacks. The problem I see with this switch is no interlocks and shut off the the 1702 board provides and would require 4 relays. A momentary switch may solve this problem. All the wires needed to wire above switches would be found on the wire harness/connector to the 1702 board. There should be a wiring diagram for board on Equalizer Systems site.
Feel free to ask questions.

Fortunately my rig was always in the driveway so I never even gave theft a thought.

Over the last several months, it appears every time one picks up a paper or watches a tv, there is always some story about persons stealing rv's from storage lots, parking lots and even some from peoples driveways.

I looked at this forum but did not find anything about what members have done to prevent their rv being driven away.

I have a friend with a Kodiak he uses to pull show horse trailers and has done things like installing a fuel solenoid that cuts off the fuel, a cut off switch that cut power to the starter solenoid. Thus far these have worked for him.

Just wondering if anyone had done similar things and if so what they were?

Thanks

I am wondering if anyone owning these Class C units has purchased or fabricated some type of apparatus in which the generator cam be EASILY removed?
While I have observed many slide out like used on slide out trays, I have not seen anything that can be used with these generators.
It would appear the generator must be lowered 8 inches or so to clear the compartment before it could be slide outside the compartment.
I would like to hear any thoughts or ideas you have had on this issue.
Thanks

Shouldn't be a problem using #10 since the breakers in the geny are only 30 amp so they will trip before the system overloads.

Hello,
Trying to get around in the new system.
Have an issue to which I am unsure.
Have probably a 2006 Onan gen as it is in a 2007 Endura.
Of course, the power goes thru 2 breakers, one red wire and one black wire, before exiting the rear of the generator along with one green wire and two white wires. All five of these wires appear to be #10 wire where they attach to a junction block. On the other side of the junction block are 5 wires with the same color that appear to be #6 wires. These #6 wires travel maybe two feet where they are connected, in a box, to 5 wires which appear to be #6 before going to the automatic transfer switch. However the two white wires are connected before leaving this box with only 4 wires leaving the box, 1 red, 1 black, 1 white and 1 green. It looks like the factory cut the wire short and was required to add a couple of feet.
The issue is the connection going into the rear of the gen got loose cutting a couple of the wires.
I don't know if it is necessary to replace these 5 wires, say 2 feet in length with #6 wire or if it is permissible to use #10 as the current originally is traveling on #10 before and after the breakers.
Thanks for your assistance.
Don
