    Air conditioners both freezing up. We have a brand new unit and both units are freezing up and we have taken it back to dealer

    Do not run the fan on low. There is not enough air movement and freeze ups will occur. Set the fan to Auto.

    is it possible to heat bedroom area of 5th wheel trailer only to save on battery life

    If you are not leaving tomorrow, why don't you do a little test to see how it all goes. Run the furnace all night and then try to pull in the slides. What is it going to hurt to run a little trial? Science is wonderful. Running the battery down is not going to hurt anything. As someone else...

    is it possible to heat bedroom area of 5th wheel trailer only to save on battery life

    The thermostat closest to the living area runs the furnace. Yes, it senses temperature that's how it turns on and off. I am guessing that the battery will not run down completely during the night just running the furnace. The battery should charge up the next day as you are hooked up to the...

    Need to find the ceiling fan for 2011 Landmark Augusta

    First of all, those fans are practically useless as they are too close to the ceiling. However, the blades and arms can be found separately. The blades at Home Depot or Lowes, the arms on Amazon.

    2011 Elkridge jack repair.

    You have to know how these things work. There is a central jack screw that turns to raise and lower the legs. There is a large captured nut down in the unit that the jack screw turns in. This captured nut will raise or lower the inner leg as the screw turns in it. This nut will eventually seize...

    Does this slide look right?

    To me, it does not look right. It appears like the bottom could be extended more. Like the others have said, check the sealing of the sides against the inside. My slide outside walls are parallel with the trailer sides. The roof is angled down a bit.

    Do all the legs on the Lippert Auto-Level hydraulic system make ground contact?

    Yes, it normal. However, it's not good. To fix the issue, lower the middle and rear legs a couple bolt holes. Lippert has a spec as to the minimum height from the ground to the bottom of the foot. I did this this mine. The middle and rear legs have a shorter throw than the front legs. When...

    Bedroom slide leaks when it rains

    You did not say where the water is coming in at. Check the top where the roof cover meets the inside fascia as It is not sealed there.

    EZ Connect electrical truck/RV connection

    Yes, I have and use this connector. I like it a lot. It is very easy to change over from your existing plug. Yes, I was one of those guys who forgot to disconnect the plug when unhooking ( after having installed this thing ). Perfect. It disconnected just like advertised. The magnet in the truck...

    Kitchen Island

    My island collapsed onto it's base. There is a toe kick completely around the island. The entire island and all its weight was supported by tiny staples through this toe kick base into the frame of the island. The staples sheered right off from the weight. Build them as cheap and as fast as you can.

    Underbelly heat

    I do not understand why your sewer line has frozen. There should not be any water in the line ever ( except when draining ). If you are leaving your gray water valves open all the time, this is a no no. By leaving the gray tank vales open, you are venting the entire park septic system to the...

    Milestone 386bh vacuum breaker

    That device is not necessary to the system as a whole. Just bypass it and take it out of the system.

    Broken spring hanger

    I would put them on the front hangers and the equalizer hangers also. There is a video out that shows just how much all of these hangers flex going down the road.
