Maiden Voyage Complete!!!

[Pete Masterson]

There is a panel on the front of your coach with 20+ "screws" holding it in place. (Note, those "screws" are 1/4 turn fasteners with a spring behind them.) Use a screw driver, press "in" and turn counter-clockwise, the the fastener should pop-out (but remain in it's place -- they don't come all the way out). 

The panel (made of fiberglas) is heavy and may 'stick' to the weather seal a bit. You may need to use a thin-blade screwdriver to get the panel to come away. Try not to drop it as you might chip the paint. 

Once you're "in" the leveling jacks are controlled by "SK24" a 15 amp fuse. Also "SK69" is associated with "leveling jack ign/step ign trigger."

Obviously, if the breaker has flipped (or fuse has blown) you'll need to determine why this occurred. It is possible that there was a situation where the jacks were briefly overloaded and the breaker tripping is non-serious. But it is also possible that there is a more serious problem. A multi-meter is helpful.

Note: you can download a chart I prepared for my coach (a '95 but likely very similar) for the front power center from 

<http://homepage.mac.com/aeonix1/> File is named "LOAD_CENTER-FRT_95WL42.pdf"

Another non-intuitive hint. The AC switches on the driver's dash panel must be turned on for the heaters to work. AquaHot heat is controlled by the AC thermostats by setting the right-hand switch to "gas heat". You also need to turn on the "AH" switch on the dash panel (upper left quadrant , second row of the largest switch and instrument display).

Well 1 problem crossed off the list.  I found the thermostat and turned off the fan.  I 

knew it was going to be something simple, I just couldnt figure out where they had 

hidden the control.

As far as the jacks, I'm still stuck.  i cant get power to the control panel to even operate 

the system.  I'm familiar with how the system functions, but I kill the motor, turn the key 

to the on position, press the button on the pad, and nothing.  No lights, no indicators, 

no noises, its like I'm pressing on a blank wall.  I'm sure there is a fuse or breaker 

somewhere that is tripped or blown, but I have no idea where it might be located.  

I'm sorry for the questions, but I've never had anyone instruct me on the Bluebird, or 

where any of its systems and controls are locate, so it feels as if I'm on a treasure hunt 

most of the time.

Thanks again

Well, our new to us 96' WLWB is safe at home.  We flew to Houston yesterday morning 

and drove to Wimberley, then came on home today.  

What a pleasant experience this has been for us.  The coach was in every bit as good 

of 

shape as described, better than I expected.  We drove a little over 500miles, and truely 

made the trip without a glitch.

Now for my first questions,  I have the same door problems as addressed in the door 

seal 

thread, so I'm going to try the remedies previously posted before asking additional 

questions.  

i am having two problems,

1.  I cant get the leveling system to power up, so I have no ability to level the coach.  

I'm 

not familiar with using jacks, as our last coach used the air to level, but I cant get a 

light 

to flicker on the control pad, so I don't know where to go from there.

2.  There is a kool o matic fan in the galley, the fan runs all the time, and i absolutely 

cant find a switch or rheostat to control the fan.  So currently it runs all the time and 

like 

a dummy, I don't know where to turn it off.  

I have several smaller issues, but I will address these 1 by 1 to make sure I get 

everything completed before taking on the next task.

Corey,
