Default What now?

Went out to start the RV today to take it into the shop for the brake lights again and it didn't want to start. White smoke coming out of the exhaust and after about 3 tries it finally fired up and looked like it was rolling coal....? Any ideas what is going on with that?

Not sure on the smoke. Silly question. When you start it up, do you wait first for the "WAIT TO START" light to go off?
If not try that.
The brake light set up is a JOKE! these are made by the Hella Light Co. who makes good products Fog / Dr lite's etc. but... They are not enclosed, and they are exposed to grime moisture etc. The way the lamps stay positioned is terrible. Take them out (4 screws).
Then and bend the clips that hold the bulbs in so they are tight. First (Clean it all up with a emoryboard or sand paper)
You'll know when you get them right. If you do it, you'll do it right and save future trips to the Dealer.

Good Luck!
