Re: Fan clutch conversion

Re: Super Nova 08 vt365 rpms at 70mph

No loss of power with motor. Maybe you have a bad injector that is not getting full fuel.

Sounds like you might have one of the first 2008 Suprenova's with the 617 gears. I had this problem...

Re: jacks making noise

I have a 2008 supernova and unless they changed the jacks, they are not hydraulic and there is no fluid in them. They are a basic screw jack design with an electrical motor. If you do not have the...

Re: Optima Batteries?

I put in two of the largest blue top Optimas before this last winter and so far no problem. I can tell you they work better and do last longer. I do leave my coach plugged in with the attic fan...

Re: campground set up?

What I do is back in or pull in so your main tanks can hook up. Hook up your sewer flex line, but DO NOT DUMP YOUR TANKS UNTIL THEY ARE FULL, especially the black, or until you are leaving. When we...

The controller I put in has a small dial. I leave it all the way turned up and I have it tucked under the dash, just hanging there so I can reach it. I think when it is turned up all the way I might...

Re: Supernova engine stopped on own, won't start or turnover

I figured out the problem, it was the 40 amp fuse on top of batteries. It was corroded some, not completely blown. Cleaned it up and changed fuse, started right up. The other sign that tells you...

Nope, it the glow plugs are getting power, I'm wondering if it is a different fuse or circuit, or an injection issue. Open to any suggestion.

Re: Supernova engine stopped on own, won't start or turnover

I will do that, but more concerned with the fact that it started right up as usual and then died on it's own about 2 minutes later. There is power to gauges, lights, radio etc..., but now it won't...

Mine will idle back up after about 5 min, that is why I use the cruise control for the idle speed to help warm it up and to maintain a constant RPM.
