Sources for Suppliers, Parts and Maintenance Materials / Window seal to coach - Thin rubber seal
« Last post by Tony Olinger on April 07, 2025, 09:23:47 PM »
New to this forum and I have a 1995 Marquis.

I had a window that was broken from a weed-eater so I pulled out the frame and had the window replaced. It is a double window with one that slides open.  I need to reinstall and I see there is a thin rubber seal that needs to be replaced. It is about an 1/2 wide and does not appear to have any adhesive on it but maybe it had worn off. 

What am I looking for and what sources offer a replacement?

Thanks in advance for any help

Motorhomes and Tow Cars / 2005 Beaver Monterey Laguna IV
« Last post by Don Forsyth on March 31, 2025, 06:01:16 PM »
I am selling my 2005 Beaver Monterey Laguna IV 40' Motorhome.  CAT C9 400 engine paired with the Allison 3000 transmission.
2 year old Toyo 295/80R 22.5 tires Tyron run flat system in front tires. 8 New Monroe shocks all around with only about 5000 miles on them.
3 year old batteries house and chassis.
Hydro Hot Hydronic heating recently serviced and working as it should. Cummins 8000 genset with about 800 hours.
    I am the third owner or a what was a retired motorhome. It had not been very well taken care of and was looking for some love.
When I got the coach I had to put new house and chassis batteries in as well as a new engine alternator. I found numerous air leaks in the air system,
I have gone through and replaced most of the swivel brass hose connectors and pressure relief valves. It then turn turned out I had to replace the engine compressor
At the time the engine compressor went out and was replaced the hydraulic cooler also ruptured and had to be replaced.
There were problems with the transfer switch and charging. The transfer switch was serviced and there have not been anymore issues with it.
The charging was related to the BIG BOY system and was replaced along with a couple of related components. No more issues
The manual fuel filter has been replaced with the Fass electronic fuel filter which keeps a constant fuel pressure.
Coach currently has about 84000 miles
interior is original and in good condition. The captains seats show a little wear, Interior overhead lights have been changed to LED.
Front overhead TV had been changed to a 36" smart TV.
It has the Winegard in motion satellite mounted to the roof with all the components in the cabinet by the free standing dinette.
I have never used it, but it has all the components to operate it.
The tile floor has been changed from the ceramic tile to the Mohawk waterproof plank flooring. Really made a nice difference.
On the exterior, there are a few nicks. There is some slight damage to one of the cargo bay doors on the drivers side, but it doesn't affect its use.
All but the living room on the passenger side slide toppers have been replaced and slide seals on the same have been replaced.
Both of the air conditioner covers have been replaced and new covers installed over the fantastic fans that never had any.
The crank up batwing antenna has been removed and replaced with the King OTA antenna. I wished I had done that earlier.

Overall the Motorhome is in really good condition and everything works like it is supposed to.
I am asking $72500 but am open to offers.

Robert,

I am not sure exactly how your coach is laid out or which closet you are referring to, however there is usually a access panel or mirror or something to allow access to plumbing areas.  In my closet where the vacuum breaker is located you can remove 6 or 8 screws and access the plumbing which is behind the drawers.  The rest of my plumbing is accessed under the bathroom and kitchen sink, or by removing the wet bay cover.  That access is tight.

If you find where it is leaking it may be easier to simply bypass the old line and install a new pex line wherever you can snake it through.  If you have a ice maker than you can get to that area from behind the refrigerator or the drawer below it.   

Hopefully this will help you some.

1997 Beaver Patriot Ticonderoga 37' Coach
Purchased 1/1/2024 from Maryalice Willhite
VIN:4SLC0DN35V1151313
CAT 3126, 230 hp

I was working in the rear bedroom. I wife turned on the water pump. I heard water running behind the wall in the closet. I told her to turn off the pump. The water stopped running but the floor of the closet was soaked. (I had to take the coach to Cummins for generator work. Should be back next week). I need someone to tell me how to access the area behind that wall to repair the leak. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

General Discussion / Re: spray foam insulation inside front cap?

I wish I’d taken my brother’s advice decades ago and added a pad cover aside our house.  Storing inside certainly plays in to amelioration.  But one or two 110F days in a minimally shaded Midwest park, with heat concentrated/trapped between panes could take out the seals, ultimately culminating in fogging and etching.  I’m just saying that where your rig is commonly parked should be taken into consideration when film is being mulled over.

Joel,
We had window tint film applied to the interior of our salon windows in 2016 and had no issues. Sold the coach in 2024. That said, we kept the coach garaged when not in use.

As Steve noted, don’t use tint film on the inside of double pane windows.  We had a company do that not long after building our house and that company and the window mfr. had to negotiate replacing our big south-facing picture window.  They used tinted glass (not film) for the new one instead.

We’ve found an external windshield cover makes a big difference while parked, especially if the coach isn’t facing north.  Mounted outside, it won’t trap reflected heat against the windshield.  But I know what you’re referencing.  The cap over the windshield and audio/video products encapsulated therein get ridiculously hot;  it caused our TV to often turned on by itself.  I started keeping the right cabinet door open and entertained using a small fan to force ventilate the space, but it only helps heat up the living area.

As an addendum, if you have a plastic-cased Belkin power strip stuffed back in the cap behind your A/V devices, it’s advisable to replace it with a metal-cased one.  A member here found out the hard way that if the plastic strip overheats or short circuits, it can more easily catch fire than a metal one, whose case can contain flames.

As to spray foam, I’d be reluctant for reasons that you expressed.  Reflective wrap at least wouldn’t interfere much with any future changes or work.  Fan ventilation might be more amenable/effective, especially if one could finagle an acceptable exhaust to the outside.

From the factory my coach had a sheet of the old style paper backed fiberglass insulation in the front cap behind the cabinets.paper side in.
Remember in cold weather the cap area can also condensed moisture on the cold surface.
