The guy that drove it down to Florida put a can of dry-gas in it, as he thought it was water in the fuel. When Doug drove it to the dealership, about 30 miles, it didn't miss a lick. What is bad about this deal is that every time I drive it, I'll be expecting it to break down on me. I'll just sell it. Hey Beckman, wanna make another deal!!!!
What would I do with a creeper van, hang around school yards? I'm looking at downsizing as I have 6 vehicles now and I drive 4 of them.

I still say it is something to do with the fuel pump like maybe the sock around it is dirty and not letting enough fuel sometimes.

I figure when it does quit again, which I know it will, I'll pull a plug and check for fire. If I have fire, I'll pull the fuel line at the outlet side of the filter, turn the key on, and see if its pumping. Don't know what else to do to troubleshoot it. Maybe I'll take the whole EFI junk off and install a carb. Put points in it while I'm at it.

It is so sad that they have all this computer crap on these motors and tell us they can use a computer to diagnose the problem. But then you are at the mercy of the computer in your situation Tony. I just hope that you will figure out the problem soon.

Yo Tony, just be sure to keep your smart phone with you.

Text me if you need any help and maybe we can facetime to figure out the problem.

Maybe, just maybe it was a bad tank of gas and putting the can of dry gas in there helped it out. Just a thought.

I hate computers on vehicles. I can't work on the newer Harleys because of them.

Ric, I think I'll get me a couple of carrier pidgins for down there.

Ken, that would be way too easy, but it would be nice if that's all it is. I'll know this afternoon how it goes.

Ric, where do you find these pictures? You must spend a lot of time on the web 'cause you have a picture for every post.

Tony, what dates will you be here?. I'll have to check the distance. We have the dog with us, she's almost 14 yrs old. We can't leave her alone in the motorhome for too long. Wish you were going to be here when we're heading home. There's a nice campground Ocala we stay overnight at.

It's call GOOGLE and if you type something in it such as "Pigeon with Phone" all kinds of pictures of Pigeon with Phone come up.

For insistence when I typed in "Hank's Motorhome" this is what came up

This is why TRW pays me the big bucks.
