Issues with 84 35FC

[Torres, Dennis]

Gardner and others,

Is your storage indoors or outside? If it is outside what do you do to
protect the coach and tires?

Gardner,
That's what I have been doing ;o)...
I am on City Island, The Bronx, NYC...
I store the coach in Chester, NY off of US 17, I only pay $70... Gated,
cameras, 6am - 8pm access 7 days/week...

Turn up the stereo, it will drown out that annoying buzzer.
Where is your storage facility? I am in New Jersey and have a 15 or
20 mile trip to my bird, near Greenwood Lake. I am not sure where
you are in NYC, but this one is about 12 miles from the thruway/287
interchange. $68/month, security cameras. The owner also runs an
excavation business out of the location so he has some skin in the
security game as well. It is outdoors, however.

I don't know anything about FC's but I bet that bus=zzer will not bother you
again. It is most likely fried. Is the light still blinking, ie are the light
and buzzer related. Just a thought.
Please do not turn up the stereo it could cost you a bundle.

Gardner,
You probably be better of closer if you do bring it home every weekend...
As far as someone living there, what happens when they go away on vacation???
I had a previous RV, it was a Safari Trek, with an Isuzu diesel, which I
stored in a facility that was gated with 8' fences, security cameras and a
security guard, located in The Bronx, it was broken into they stole all the
appliances that the could get out, TV, DVD, VCR, CB, trashed the whole place...
The security did not show anything on the cameras and the guard was probably
part of the gang...
So much for security... Good thing for insurance...

Larry,
Mine isn't gated, but the main office building has a living
facility so I think there is someone there most of the time so it's
pretty safe. I haven't had any problems. They also store 18 wheeler
truck tractors and boats plus the normal storage facility buildings.
I am beginning to think I should store it closer to home since I

heck larry i thought you fixed them lights
with the blue caps off walmart water bottles

too bright without them over the lights!!!!!!

i know that the 1 wire over/under around the air compresser to rad
sensor will light up the light when it gets in the air compresser
pully and 1 wire off the oil sender under the dash will leak on your
leg and light it up too

Larry- my 84 35FC had the intermitten buzzer come on, also. I checked all the
gauges and just surmised that it was another gremlin in the coach. Seemed to
phase out the longer I drove her.

Hey Larry, I see you have got some great response to your question. I
did not know about the wire chafing/corrosion...Thanks Ralph. When we
first got RUBY our 86FC I had a similar issue. The warning buzzer and
light. I could not figure it out...all fluids were ok as you said.
While driving through the Inlet here there is a few bumps in the road
and causes a porpoise type action...the buzzer and light would go off
briefly. I found the coolant level to be just low enough to cause the
warning light and buzzer to come on when sloshing around. One of the
most important lessons I have learned about these birds is the KISS
method...first of all look for the obvious and then check the obvious
again..then go from there.

In my situation I could not find where water was leaking from or
going to...until...and rut ro...blown head gasket. Not to alarm you
but check the coolant level CLOSELY. If you are using coolant find
out why..new CAT heads are spensive..

Can't wait to see the old girl. And of course you too...

Hi Scott,
Thanks for the info, I will check it out very closely...
I have been thinking of changing out the antifreeze and/or get it tested at
least...
Can't wait to get to Myrtle Beach...
