d2freak82, we have a friend that had the same issue. The way it was solved was he used a cutting board trimmed to the size of the light. Installed behind the light and caulked around it.

Hello & welcome to the group.

Cut yourself an access panel to get to the valve, then seal it up. Pull the side of the underbelly down far enough to see the location of the valve, or use an inspection camera to look. Once located, cut the access under the valve. When you cut the access panel, cut a 3-sided opening about 6"...

Guessing at the model: https://www.americagorv.com/product/used-2008-heartland-sundance-2800rls-1992262-5 It says 40 gals.

In our rig the outlet for fridge was on the outside of the partition behind the couch. No need to remove the fridge to unplug. Look around there for an outlet. The output does go straight to the fridge. The breaker should had been in the breaker box with other 120VAC breakers.

First determine which slide mechanism you have on the rig.

Our fridge dedicated transfer switch was this type...

What "3rd stage switch" are you talking about for this system? You should have a "Yeti" switch and the "tank heaters" switch.

Some night time reading material about batteries: https://batteryglobe.com/group-27-vs-29-vs-31-battery/#:~:text=The%20difference%20in%20weight%20between%20these%203%20types,typically%2C%20can%20weigh%20between%2060%20and%2075%20pounds.

For the fridge, turn the breaker off in the 120V breaker box. If you have the 1000W Magnum CSW Series inverter, turn it off. IF THE INVERTER ONLY POWERS THE FRIDGE. Near your inverter should be a dedicated transfer switch for the fridge. This switch is probably plugged into the bottom of the...

This is for your tank heaters. If you have this on, make sure you have water in your tanks, as damage may occurred to the tanks.

Which shop are you looking at using? This coming Sunday, we are going to the shop in Ft. Myers for the roof. It is around $200/LFt.

The door does not have a seal. But make sure there is a seal (caulking) around the outside of the door assembly against the RV.

You may try Bontrager's in White Pigeon, Mi.: https://bontragers.com/ Here is another surplus store you could try: https://johnsonssurplus.com/ There is another place up there, but not sure if it is still in business because they moved down the road from where they were located. That shop is...

The RV King is 72x80. https://rvmattress.com/products/brooklyn-aurora/rv-king-72x80-medium

Usually there is a spline in the awning at the end. That is then slid into the channel. The way the awning is attached in the awning tube, should be a good example for you to see.

If you can, post a picture of the issue.

Does the rig have a cord reel, or do you plug in both ends of the cable? As Dave asked about the multimeter, it is an important tool to have to help trace out problems.

Ksather222, if you have an installed generator, here is a simple test to help maybe isolate the issue. Turn off the shore power, start the generator and see if everything that is not working on shore power is now working. If everything is good on the generator power, I would look at the power...

Talking portable unit: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Klein-Tools-Combustible-Gas-Leak-Detector/5014303451 for a plug-in model: https://www.lowes.com/pd/First-Alert-Carbon-Monoxide-Detector-with-Battery-Back-Up/1000460503

As mentioned, it could have come loose from the cable. Cable pull valves, the cables are attached to the valve body with an "Allen" set screw. It could have become loose and fell out. It could have also come loose at the handle, maybe unscrewed from the back of the "T-handle".

I use the "Control S" and it worked for me.

pjones1969. let me know how it goes on the new roof. We are getting our done-on Nov.27th. But we are using the shop in Ft. Myers, Fl., since most of this winter will be in Key West.

Eddie Mac, how many AC units do you have on the rig? If 2 AC units, only 1 thermostat controls the furnace. On our rig, it is the bedroom AC unit.

The slide-out is 12VDC operation, same as lights. I would start with a quick check of the junction box under the slide that I mentioned prior. Then work out from that point.

Underneath the slides should be a junction box, check the connections in these. Make sure the power is OFF, before playing around in there.

What type of slide mechanism is the slide? Is it a Schwintek, BAL or a Lippert? Under the "Tools" tab are different manuals for all of these, it may give you a starting point.

Congrats on the new rig.

We do not own a sticks & bricks or rent one. We have not own one since 2019.

Which fan? We have two, one in the microwave, and one in the ceiling?

The VA doesn't classify me as "homeless", but as a "traveling Vet". Since we travel fulltime, I am a traveling vet. One other classification the VA uses is "Snowbird Vet". The difference is a snowbird vet goes from home to the same location year after year.

Thanks for the information. We still have plans to be there.

Norm, are the dates for the 2024 rally still May 6 - May 13th? There is a note saying, "Note the dates have changed", but the dates above that message are for 2023?

Is it working?

Are you sure you are getting 50-amp service to/from the transfer switch? If you have a power cord reel, it could be the issue.

You have to press the up/down arrows at the same time to turn "on".

In the morning you can look at the outside of the rig. When dew is on the rig, you can see where the framing is located. But I would say, yes there is framing around the door area, as there would need to be something to screw the door assembly to for support.
