My U295 has a similar look with the generator insulation and I was wanting to replace it. Thanks for sharing what you used and how you did it. My only with is that you were my neighbor..... 😁

My U295 has a leak in the gear box on the side opposite the pitman arm and I was thinking I might try replacing the seal, but after watching your video I can see that such a project is WAY OVER MY PAY GRADE. You are indeed THE MAN......!!!! I thank you for not letting me get in way over my head with such a repair.....👍

Nov 2024...Thanks for the info. I'm 69 years old and my wife and I are moving from Central Ohio to Central Florida permanently, so I'll be 2hr20min from the Sebring track. I have never been to the track before, so your info is very valuable. Having been to the Rolex 24 on three separate times (from Ohio), I had heard that Sebring was more of a Party atmosphere, which I don't prefer. But, it doesn't sound as bad as I expected. My plan is to attend the upcoming HSR race on December 2024, to see the older cars I grew up with, but to also get a feel for the track and pit layout. Thanks, Charlie in Central Ohio, but soon to be Central Florida !!

Love this video. I have a Damon and there is nothing easy about my coach. Cant even see the engine because its rear radiator. I know..but i didnt know when i purchased it. Good luck and thanks for the content.

Thank you for your efforts. I think what you have taught me here. As a, disabled, handicapped, 69-year-old, widow. I shall not be changing the oil or doing any service on my Monaco diesel pusher, myself. I just recently purchased used. This 2002, Monaco Knight 34 PST hi think? A short, rare, diesel pusher. With 65,100 miles on the odometer. That everything in perfect new like stock working condition. It's just amazing. That was so well taken care of by a couple of elderly couples before me. I bought it from this couple who was 85 and 88 years old respectively. And took it out for their last camping trip in January 2024. Right after getting it, inspected. And I got it at the beginning of July. I think it was 4 July weekend? I would gain my new independence. So, I'm still trying to get the feel for my vehicle. It's got 4 airbags. I'm still not clear on how to adjust them from the cab controls? I'm not certain mine are adjustable? The manual is not good. It's poorly written. Poorly laid out. As the first 3/4 of the 300 something pages. Tells you how to clean the windows. How to polish the furniture. How to bake cookies.. How to cook eggs. How to vacuum the floor. All that really important information. Before you ever get to the operation of the unit itself. And that it's not clear. The manual, describes everything. Shows you the device you may need to access. Does not tell you where to find, that device, to access. Shows you know pictures. The drawings are of the devices and not their locations. This is a large vehicle. Where the hell is it? I don't like playing peekaboo. With a motorhome manual.. It sucks. I'm a retired engineer. I arty know how to bake cookies! I really know how to clean the windows and vacuum the floors! What the hell is with this manual? And who and what was it designed for? The ones suffering from the worst dementia or Alzheimer's? Which one? No wonder they went out of business. They couldn't write a proper manual! Like. Here's the unit you purchased. Here's how to use it. You can do this with it. You can do that with it. Etc., etc. And at the end. Here's how to make cookies and fry eggs. Here's how to clean the windows. Here's how to vacuum the floors and clean the bathroom. In case you never learned that as a child? Or a homeowner. As you've never owned a home before you purchased a motorhome? And all of these concepts are very difficult. I just do not know? It's loony at best. And so here we are. There you are. And we are trying to live, off grid. So we do it. Anyway we have to.. RemyRAD

This is the best video I've seen for this particular issue. You show everything, explain what you are doing. Thanks dude!

😂 thats such a thing in the US. Worldwide all trucks run on diesel, just you guys are used to thirsty gasoline engines. They are cheaper to build and quite. Furthermore, this is, like inly noticed in the states, a two stroke diesel. They run on higher rpm obviously. The fact that you can’t drive away directly is a matter of the heavy truck air break, pressure has to build up to losen it. Only coaches have air suspension. I drive here in Australia a 6.5 ton RV still with hydraulic breaks, but everything over 10 ton surely has air breaks. Thanks for the video, awesome to see a 2 stroke diesel 👍🏽I think only trucks used day and night commercially should service yearly, otherwise its a waist of oil and cash. Nothing ages except the break fluid, that collects water and rusts in the pipes.

I'm doing the same job on my Monaco Knight 36r but it's a M80 steering box; but I just pulled out the box so I could work on it in the garage.

So did u fix it 3years later lol?

Excellent video. Out of curiosity how much did all the filters and oil cost? What would it cost to have the service done in comparison. I don’t have a coach yet, but I’m looking at the Foretravel and interested in what it cost to maintain one.

Just found your video on the Foretravel service. Very informative--I am purchasing a '95 U 300 SE and found your video to be helpful. I'll keep you posted on the purchase. Thanks again for sharing the video.

"Green Park" used to be called The Zoo, I remember watching a Porsche 911 burn after some people decided to roll it in the bonfire. There is a reason for the reputation.

thanks for the vid! are you going this year? My brother and nephew and i will be there for the first time.

I got my engine out to do everything at my mechanics, saves you money guys when you have lots of bits to change, mods and maintenance just drop the engine out.

Can you remember where you purchased your stands you use to keep the air bags up

Great video! What size hitch extensions are you using to block up the coach? Thanks

Those rigs come with the incredible Telma Retarder.

What ticket should I buy if I want to camp in a tent and watch the race on Saturday only? It's the first time I'm going

Do you not fill the fuel filter with fuel? How do you keep from loading the fuel lines with air?

I do my own work on my class A too. I wish I took videos. Did my Allison filters last Summer. If you can’t do it, it’s not cheap having it done. Thanks for the video! Every bit helps

6:53 They should have GIVEN you the gator caps considering their poor installation required you to return TWICE. Lesson learned on poor service and customer appreciation. 1:03:16 Use a Glad sandwich container (about $4.00 at Wal*Mart for four of them) you can hold it right under that filter on that Kubota ;) BTW... BEAUTIFUL coach

I'm glad you bought a Foretravel. I plan on retiring in one of these and your videos are awesome. Good luck with the race car build. Wish we lived closer, I would definitely help out. 🍻✌

Great informative video, thanks for posting these 🍻✌

Need to do this.

You're a certified beast!!!! I have done everything you just did on my coach but never all at once!

Awesome Video! I did notice sections of damaged plastic on wire loom at 28:21 from possibly the zip ties being too tight or the loom plastic being brittle. The zip ties might also start cutting into the wire insulation causing a short or fire hazard. I would check the wires for damage and replace the loom. A good idea would also be to use wider zip ties, a thicker loom or something to spread out the clamping force of the zip ties against the loom.

Thanks for making the video. That's a lot of fluids and filters. I have two questions, where do you recycle the fluids, and approximate costs for all that materials?

Thanks, bro. very helpful.

What else have you forgot?

Man my time is worth something and for the 4 to 5 hundred dollars I would save I would let the rv shop do just what you have done plus they will have it done in a few hours. I feel as much as i have invested in the motorhome let the pros do it!

Gates make really good hoses.

Where do I get genuine fleetguard filters ? At reasonable price.

Turn 2 is a happening spot. You can see 3,4, and 5 from there...of you're on The Turn 2 platform.. Hey Bill.😎

I think your video and videos like yours focusing on maintenance of these rigs is invaluable. People like me need to really understand that owning one of these machines is a serious undertaking, not just amenities and comfort features like most RV videos focus on. Incredible rig. Thanks for posting.

nice work !

What you should do is clean the treads on the new oil filter before fitting,,,,you would be very surprised the amount of metal sworf on them from the factory,,that sworf is going into your engine...I've never seen anyone doing this on YT ,,,got the idea from Marty t ,,,YT channel ...

Screw the Foretravel...I'm here for a better look at your E39 M5 in the background. Beautiful car! No really..Foretravels are great coaches but the older ones have the ugliest face on them. Your next project should be a facelift for this old girl.

FWIW, 5-40 is probably not recommended, 15-40 might be a better option, after spending 25 plus years running my own trucking business 15-40 would probably be a better choice, jmo. I realize this is a year old but anyone watching should be mindful of there choice of oil viscosity.

That's a cheek clencher for sure!

That's a left handed Circular saw.

Why did you not pull the pan on the transmission?

get a couple of roll of blur shop towels works better than regular paper towels js

If you don’t care which diesel pusher, do you recommend going to buy one pretty soon a used one. Thank you for the video again.

Hear you got chickens in the background March 23 eggs without the roof

Why did you have to prime the engine? Did you change the fuel filters? I didn’t see that. what was call beside the airbags I didn’t see that before. Thank you for the video you need to do a little bit more talking so we can understand. What are you doing? Thanks.

The transmission fluid looks awful good don’t not dirty at all

Awesome video! I'll be coming down from Toronto this year; nothing but a rental car, a sleeping bag, and a dream😁

How has your insulation held up over time ?

What lift are you using if you don't mind me asking, it looks light and well built

A few comments -- if you could post links to the components that would be helpful! Your video is hopefully going to help me keep my old norcold Tek ii going! The part where you ohm out the components you refer to it as volts which is sort of agitating, but forgivable. Also higher # voltage requires smaller wires, so the thinking that having a max voltage as a high number you'll be good, is not necessarily true. A 12v DC current will burn up the same AC wires that can run heavy appliances
