    Furnace - thermostat extremes

    Thanks, I'll need to confirm what I actually have. I don't think mine has that feature, unless there is a combo of buttons that need to be pressed. I think I have "mode", "+" and "-" , I'll check when I get home. I'm so confused on what I thought I observed, at this point I can't remember if...

    Furnace - thermostat extremes

    there were no other sources of heat. I was just looking at the thermostat, seems if it says 70, and it was set to 65, heat would be off. It does appear that the 'return air' is right below the thermostat ~ 5 feet below it. But again, referencing the display, seems it should not matter. I wll...

    Furnace - thermostat extremes

    Took the RV out the week prior to/through memorial weekend and temp ranged from 30 degrees at night through 80 (inside). Before I begin, issue was same whether on DC or Gen Power. When thermostat was showing below 60 degrees, enough to need the heat, set the temp to 65, furnace did not want to...

    Ran single HDMI source to all TVs

    Check underneath for any plumbing that moves with the slide and try to route the HDMI cable the same way ensuring there is the same slack. If the travel is safe for the plumbing, it should be OK for the HDMI cable too. This cable has a nylon braid...

    Ran single HDMI source to all TVs

    Wow, that is pricey. If that had been my only option I'd have had to live with the complaining. I'll go back and do the math but I think I was under $200 for everything. But, time is money too. I had the parts since November 2014 and finally finished it in May 16. It amazes me that 'quick...

    Wall Switches Added

    I like that too and it may be the way to go for the garage since early scoping on how to route the wire was not promising. Another poster managed to find access around the forward air vent adjacent to the walk in door but where he described must be slightly different because of model year...

    Ran single HDMI source to all TVs

    What this does: Using a DVD or Streaming source with an HDMI output, I can have the same picture on up to 4 TVs. Why I Did it: I had issues with the built in Car Stereo/DVD player skipping and just not playing. Using an old home system the first trip with the grandkids, when one was ready to...

    Wall Switches Added

    I bought several paddle type wall switches (same as what is used on the slide out) to add to the RV that the family can reach. Of course this was on my list of projects for more than a year, finally got around to installing the one for the bathroom after complaints last week that nobody could...

    EZ Open Hand Rail

    Update: The EZ Open part that attaches to the door handle kept coming off, turns out here, the plastic piece that attaches to the handle was cracked. I tried to correct this the best I could by putting a washer on the backside and it worked for a few days, then loosened up and slipped off...

    Leveling question

    Wanted to know if the midpoint made enough of a difference to make it worth the time/effort to install? I would consider it minimal effort and would be doing myself so other than less than about $150 on the jacks this is cheap enough to do as long as it helps. I have a laundry list of minimal...

    No Reverse on Fan-Tastic Vent...Anyone know how to fix???

    Here is from the fantasticvent.com http://www.fantasticvent.com/assets/fantastic-vent-cross-ref-public-2014.pdf if you can Identify your part number, you should be able to locate which upgrade kit you'd need. I did a search for the first one in the list and even the upgrade is pretty pricey...

    No Reverse on Fan-Tastic Vent...Anyone know how to fix???

    Well, that is a good point. Without having access or knowing the model in question, I would suggest that if your fan has a control board, the DPDT switch would need to be placed in the wires connecting to the fan motor near the actual fan drive motor. The pair of wires likely coming out of any...

    No Reverse on Fan-Tastic Vent...Anyone know how to fix???

    Could not find an installation manual; however, all of the models I found on the fantastic website with automatic vent already have the reverse function. So likely OP has a manual lift. Without verifying, a separate motor likely controls the vent portion. The wires to the vent lift motor...

    No Reverse on Fan-Tastic Vent...Anyone know how to fix???

    http://www.instructables.com/id/HOW-TO%3A-Wire-a-DPDT-rocker-switch-for-reversing-po/ It is actually pretty easy. All you need is a double post double throw (DPDT) switch intended for 12 volt use with a high enough current rating. The common leads will go to the fan. I did a quick search for a...

    Protecting sliding doors leading to toy hauler area

    similar to wheel chocks I use a 1 foot section of 6x6 timbers. They are the light weight ones and sit nicely on the floor butt up against the sliding door frame. In my case my pioneer 7004 front tires butt against them and it keeps the front bumper from hitting the glass on the door. The...
