My 2014 Norcold 1210 has had issues. Replaced the cooling unit once while it was under warranty. Since then, there have been two times now that it has started to fail to cool, and then seemingly died. I am posting now because, twice now, I have managed to "fix" the situation by using this...

Well, I feel like an idiot now. After being reassured by your replies that it couldn't be hydraulic fluid spraying in from under the slide floor, I looked around some more and found an old, overturned tub of damp rid. I'm guessing that the damp rid fluid, in combination with maybe some of the...

I noticed a small puddle of fluid between my refrigerator and pantry door last night and when I went to wipe it up, I realized that it wasn't water. It is slightly oily, although it has no color or odor and not super slick... just kind of oily or maybe slightly sticky? The area of the floor...

That's an idea. It didn't occur to me that I could do that.. thanks!

My Norcold isn't cold as of today, either. Had the cooling unit replaced at the end of March, after only having the darned thing for 6 months (purchased new Cyclone in August 2014). I've tested the thermistor, tried switching over to LP, checked fuses, breaker, etc. I suspect another "clot"...

Thanks, Nabo. Good to have the second opinion on the topper option. Yeah, I can see how the full awning could get hung up on stuff.

Good point, Dan. Yes, I can see why the awning would be more fragile if it was not connected, and thus stabilized, by the slide itself. Yeah, I'll have to take a long look at the space available between the bottom of the roof and the top of the slide to see if there is room for the awning to be...

Thanks for the reply, Dan. The slide is 10 ft long by about 2 ft deep (26 inches or so), and I see awnings that are much larger than that on some awning websites, is there something I'm missing about the sizing? Do you mean that the angle of the awning will not allow it to pass over the slide...

Hey folks, I just finally resolved a slide floor problem related to rain water leaking in and destroying the floor board of my living room (door side) slide out. Had the whole floor board replaced, under warranty. Repair guys claim they can't definitively find where water may have leaked in...

Another UPDATE: Floor was finally completely replaced a few days ago. It was quite the process, but they were able to do it on site, which was much appreciated. They said that it looked like there had been water leaking in on both sides, and probably from the top of the slide, not just...

I am also going through the same hunt for a good mattress for our Cyclone (70 X 80). After reading comments, I am confident that the 72 will work. I am looking at plushbeds.com, at the natural latex foam or the gel infused memory foam. Still pondering the issue of body heat on the foam...

UPDATE: The idea of covering this problem up just evaporated when I realized that the wood is basically rotted all the way through. I was measuring for a possible metal plate to provide coverage, per Dave's suggestion, and I started pulling the plywood shreds off, and I think I could keep...

Yeah, as you can see from this "before" picture, I thought there might be a problem, but I guess I was just hoping that it wouldn't get worse than that. Heartland, Scott McDaniels in particular, is being helpful. They just need to wait to hear from the repair tech when he comes out next week...

UPDATE: Apparently, the repair kit was not the answer. Upon arriving at our new location in Texas, we discovered that the slide floor damage must have been deeper than we thought. The section of the floor that goes over the roller just basically shattered. Several layers of the plywood were...

UPDATE: The upper left freezer is now slightly cooler to the touch. The repair guy came out and confirmed that a pipe in the back that had been frosted-over is now hot, which indicates that things are moving around in the system now. Phew! They had said that it could take 48 hours, and we...
