Re: 2004 u320 that froze Reply #28 – March 16, 2024, 05:13:51 am Those pictures were from the sale add. I got the slide working and pulled in before I drove it home. The number of people at the sale that were commenting things like "135k miles is just too many" or "it doesn't have a step well cover, I could never ride in one without a step well cover" was just crazy. I got lucky and no one else there knew what a Foretravel was. Someone did manage to pull the outside grab handle off, so that's on the list too, but so far this is looking to be a great deal.My buddy that is helping me with the work has a Monaco. I told him he shouldn't drive this thing, he'd never want to get back into the Monaco. He does hit his head on the ceiling in the Foretravel, and the Monaco has the whole drivers side wall that slides out, so he might stick with it.Got the new alternator in, Seeing ~14.2v at the alternator post, excite wire and sense wire. The gauges in the dash are reading ~12.1 and the jump start posts are reading ~12.35. I think there might be a bad connection or bad ground going to the dash gauges, But the jump start posts are a bit confusing. I might need to take the connections apart and clean them. The weirdest part is that the excite wire is seeing full voltage, and that gets power in the front panel from the same place the gauges do. I just need to spend some time with the multimeter and check every point along the way to see where the drop is. Draw back to a coach that was sitting for a while I guess. Quote Selected 4 Likes

If that's the handle with the doorbell button in the base, those were only used for a short period of time (2003 for sure, possibly 2004) and repair parts haven't been available for a number of years. Those were sourced in either Spain or Italy and even when FOT had them, you had to buy the entire assembly. Some members have glued the handle piece back together. Quote Selected
Re: 2004 u320 that froze Reply #30 – March 16, 2024, 09:41:43 am What voltage are you getting at the isolator?I believe that Foretravel now stocks handles. I had got one for a friend a few years old Quote Selected

Re: 2004 u320 that froze Reply #32 – March 17, 2024, 05:58:35 am I found I had missed one of the ground wires going to the back of the starter. Hooked that up and all is well with the alternator. I have a plumbing question. Does anyone have a diagram for the plumbing on one of these? The expansion tank is connected to the large black and green hose that goes to the toilet, but there is a check valve in the line so it doesn't connect to the rest of the system. That part of the plumbing doesn't look original.Also, I need to replace all the fabric for the awnings. They are in rough shape. Anyone have a recommendation for ZipDee and Girard replacement fabrics? Quote Selected
Re: 2004 u320 that froze Reply #33 – March 17, 2024, 06:59:17 am ZipDee will match your fabric and size. There should be a tag on the awnings with the color code. Just like the tag on a shirt.Rich Quote Selected 1 Likes

Have never seen a dedicated expansion tank on a line to a toilet, and a coach of that generation would have been built with an AquaJet ARV variable speed fresh water pump, so no need for an expansion tank.Here's info on that area for a 2003 Water Bay Plumbing Quote Selected 1 Likes
Re: 2004 u320 that froze Reply #35 – March 17, 2024, 11:42:00 am A guess would be that they didn't want the pump to come on when using the toilet due to noise at night. Quote Selected

Re: 2004 u320 that froze Reply #37 – March 17, 2024, 01:34:38 pm I have seen one coach that had some creative plumbing similar to what i see here. Now if you discover that you have the domestic pump that Michelle has mentioned above and a second one that is hooked up to the surge/volume tank it could be a commode flush system fed from the grey tank. The valve that isn't hooked to anything could be for disinfectant to be added to the storage tank.Mike Quote Selected

Re: 2004 u320 that froze Reply #39 – March 17, 2024, 10:02:16 pm Please verify that that black hose IS rated for potable water. That is the common hose for discharge/exhaust. Quote Selected 1 Likes

That is the common hose for discharge/exhaust.It looks like it just goes up to the toilet, but it's also showing some signs of cracking. It's on the list to replace for sure. I need to see if I can find a tag on the toilet and get the mfg and model. The yellow romex is for an outlet that sits on the front of the cover that goes over everything. I just tucked it up out of the way.I didn't realize it was a variable speed pump. That's pretty cool. I also thought the flexible hose coming off the pump was not supposed to be there, but now it makes sense that it's there to keep the noise down.Thanks for all the comments and support. I really appreciate it all. Quote Selected
Re: 2004 u320 that froze Reply #41 – March 18, 2024, 06:58:29 am I bet it is a headhunter toilet. I have had a few. There pretty simple. They use the big hose to supply a big amount of water to create a jet like force to move the waste. Quote Selected
