the flickering can also be due to the type of bulbs you are using, and/or if there is a dimmer control in the circuit, or if the wrong type of bulb is used with the wrong type of dimmer......

do what you can to NOT remove the corroplast from the bottom.... cut it so you can fold it open, and then seal it back with duct tape when you are done.... its difficult to get the corroplast resealed at the edges without making a mess, and if it isnt sealed, you will have a dust problem inside...

that is exactly how its done.... the gas is burnt inside the furnace unit, and the exhaust fumes exit the furnace unit..... during its way to the exit, it passes around the heat exchanger, which absorbs as much heat as it can before the exhaust gets pushed out the pipe..... then, this...

I dont know the layout of your trailer, so i cant say..... but there should be a large louvred vent on the cabinetry somewhere.... mine is directly below the fridge

6v deep cycle vs 12v marine batteries..... the TRUE 6v deep cycle batteries CAN have a longer service life due to the heavy plates inside that they are built with, but the longer life is not a given, because it depends on the usage and charging of them.... the marine batteries are NOT a...

the Tstat on the wall may not be the issue.... it sounds as if the furnace is going into "lockout" mode, which could be a failed over-temp thermistor within the furnace housing.... you can borrow a wall T-stat and connect it in place of the existing unit and see if there are any changes, but the...

on a bighorn, you should be able to access some of the ducting at the back of the furnace from behind the intake cover inside the coach, and the rest of it can be accessed thru the basement..... the one panel will swing open to allow you into the "mechanical" space, where most of the systems are...

it seems you have the name of the name of the company that made them, the part number and the revision number, so i would think it should be easy enough to locate the manufacture and see if they can help you out with one, or give you the name of the customer who ordered them originally.... it...

batteries can fail at anytime thruout their life.... and its futile to look for a reason, which is usually a manufacturing defect or, if its a wet cell, from rough, or improper handling which can also damage the battery internally. the right charger can help a battery have a long powerful life...

thats pretty normal usage in cold temps........... rv's arent insulated as well as houses are, so the heat loss can be almost as fast as you pump it in..... one thing that helps a lot if you have shore power, is to use space heaters.... one at the rear and one forward, with the furnace running...

you will have to get to the back of the heater and find out if any of the ducts have came disconnected.... the problem with the flexible mylar ducting is that even though its fully open, the corrugations cause a severe turbulence of any air passing thru it, slowing down the airflow, which in...

due to the economy, the price of the parts, pieces and labor continues to go up, which has to be passed on to the one who is buying all the "assembled" parts and pieces.... and the ever increasing price of parts, pieces and labor has nothing to do with training, so yes, the build quality is no...

I can only respond to the use of paper gaskets in the sink drains... the gasket may have been mis-used, which I have no answer for.... but there IS a paper gasket/washer supplied with the rubber seal, to be used with the drain basket assembly in the sink, but its supposed to fit between the...

it sounds as if the batteries have failed.... bad batteries can show fully charged on a gauge, because all that means is that there is nearly 13volts at the battery posts.... it tells us nothing about how much energy is stored in the battery, which would require a hydrometer, or even better, a...

you should be able to pick the jacks up individually.... the "retract all" button will pick them ALL up in a random order, but by retracting them one at a time, this would tell us if the faulty jack is able to hold pressure in it..... there should be no "compensating" going on in the system...

so what happens if you jack the unit up with the 3 GOOD jacks..... THEN lower the faulty jack to the ground..... then raise the other 3 jacks a bit, leaving the faulty jack in place to see if it will support a load?..... testing the jack cylinder seals is easy, without using gauges...

other than for troubleshooting and adjusting, there is no good reason for a remote control feature on the slide out units... its great when working on them and adjusting them, but for normal use, they can only cause more damage than the convenience of the feature would ever be worth... when...

abs tanks are not as common as the used to be... polyethylene is the material of choice these days.... but if its abs, its an easy fix, but polyethylene requires plastic welding, as there are no adhesives that will adhere to it.... I believe its better to replace the tank than to have it...

I noticed that the bottom of the bedroom slide in our trailer was soft where the front roller is, so I re-caulked all the joints/seams, and then used the gorilla brand roof seal tape, cut down the middle in to two strips, to cover all the screw heads, as sometimes these do NOT seal like they...

yes, but its NOT an oil, its only a water based lubricant..... water soluble oil is an actual oil that disperses itself thruout the body of water its in....

until you get some and work with it, one will never know how well it works.... the dissolved oil in the water is almost like greasy dish water without the scum on top, but of course in the holding tank there will definitely be scum, but NOT caused by water soluble oil.... the dissolved oil in...

is the furnace and AC unit separate from each other, or combined?.... if combined, if the AC works, so should the furnace..... if they are fully separate units, the furnace Tstat wires are non polarized, and should connect either way on the back of the Tstat, regardless of color (ie: (2) blue...

im not sure when or why this type of oil has ever been recommended, even by proffesionals in the business of waste tanks, but any water soluable oil is a better choice, as my experience shows me.... NAPA and many other autoparts stores sell thread cutting oil, which is water soluble and MIXES...

generic.... unless you order a special design, the hangers are all about the same.... but make sure you get the correct length.... the bolt in support that you have shown may help, but I have no experience with them.... I have WELDED in supports to some suspensions on trailers that always haul...

it may surprise you to learn that the manuals that are supplied with the trailers are fairly generic.... i have never seen one that is specific to the unit, except in the very high end RV's..... the build sheet should be specific to it, but even these are often wrong.. hopefully someone can...

at this point, i would contact tech support for the ATS unit and explain to them, and they can give you other options to check.... it sounds as if the transfer switch is sensing a load on the other side, and is switching itself..... even though the shore power side is ALWAYS supposed to be the...

is it actually the cap itself that is cracking, or is there a vinyl wrap over it that is beginning to fail?....

I agree that the heavy duty shackles are much better than the OEM stuff, but if its set up right, the oem stuff can work well for years with no problems.... BUT, with what you describe and the photo you shared, I will have to say that you need to replace all the shackles, bolts and bushings...

I have built several flat top grills, using thicker steel, and for seasoning them (or any other type of cookware), one only has to heat the surface until it burns off all the contaminates, scrub and clean it well while its hot to remove and carbon/ash, and then let it cool a little to where the...

due to your explanation of whats happening, I have to ASSUME that the problem is not originating from the various campgrounds, but within the coach itself.... have you ever stayed put at the campground when a failure occurred, and then UNPLUGGED from shore power, let it set for a couple hours...

I can only echo what Roller4tan said..... for wiring diagrams, the general diagram is all that is available..... and the trailers are often wired a little different than the diagram, and sometimes WRONG, but the general diagram kinda shows how it should be wired.... so your kind of on your...

you will find either a broken or shorted wire...... I just went thru this myself..... about a week after removing the drums on the trailer to service the wheel bearings and and checking/adjusting the brakes, which always worked well for the past year since they were all replaced with new...

you can disagree, but im just stating the facts... ive been in this business for 50 years and have seen and repaired about every situation and problem that is possible with suspensions.... spring and airbag types, from travel trailers to heavy trucks.... I WILL agree that a perfectly matched...

its kind of a "catch 22".... the air mass of a cooler atmosphere does not hold as much moisture as warmer air can..... so, when you need your AC the most (hot, humid weather), that is when its least efficient..... play with the thermostat settings for awhile, you will find that you can get...

Ive done it to mine, and I do it quite often for other people.... there is no need for all the excess metal that interferes with the turning radius of the pinbox.... i have shortened pin boxes, and lengthened them... as well as gooseneck posts.... I would NOT recommend that just anyone...

I agree with the previous replies..... the battery can hold a charge, but if the charger has been faulty for awhile, its very likely the batt could be damaged beyond help.... it needs to be fully charged, left to sit for about a day or 2, then load tested AND the specific gravity tested to find...

mine is plumbed with washer/dryer, shower and vanity sink on one tank, and the galley sink on the other tank.... be careful when washing clothes, as the shower can back up, fill the shower pan, and run over if not noticed in time.... luckily my wife uses laundry detergent that has a strong...

if its building ice, its not low on fluid.... with the RV ac units, building ice is a normal thing when the airflow is low, or the humidity is really high.... its NOT desirable, but it happens. after insuring the fins and air ducting is clean and allowing for maximum airflow, the only thing...

there is NO brand of diesel exhaust fluid that is better than another, EXCEPT in the event of OLD fluid that has been stored in a warm location for too long... it is a specific formulation that the emissions need to work as designed, and the expiration date on DEF means very little to the...

a multimeter is NOT a short circuit tester.... a multimeter IS an extremely helpful tool (if one knows how to use it), but a short circuit tester only needs to be connected to either end of the faulty circuit, and then you use the sensor to follow the hidden wiring that is BEHIND the...
