Re: 3055RL electrical problem Glad you found it.

I made my own this year using heat tape and insulation (insulation, vapor barrier, and an outer wrap). It wasn't too long into the job that I wished I had bought one instead. It took me four hours to do a 25 foot hose, but it works.

Re: Trying to Find Junction Box It's not the fault of the dealership...it's just been so long since I used the plug (3 years) I forgot about it being switched.

Re: Trying to Find Junction Box Dan, you've always been my favorite person on this forum...THANK YOU! Karen, says you're her favorite person of the day.

Re: 3055RL electrical problem Since you mentioned the outlets are in a slide, I would check the junction box outside under the slide. Turn off power and pull the cover, then check each wire nut connection. Apply electrical tape after retightening the wire nuts.

I have ONE of the outside electrical outlets not working. Here is what I've done so far: 1. Pulled the outside outlet and checked the wire connections with a meter--they're good. 2. Followed the wire from the outside outlet to the inside. It flows from the wall to under the dresser then outside...

It's Camping World...what could go wrong?

Boy, that looks like a joy to install.

For those that want to upgrade to a different style of light fixture or need brighter light, I've used these with great success: The first link is for 12 volt lights that have 1000 lumens each. Designed for vehicle backup lights, but also are rated for 50,000 hrs. Be careful of the 3030...

I wonder if by the original furnace overheating it sent enough hot metallic smell/substance into the duct and that is what you're smelling.

Gavin, check out this thread...it gives part numbers and installation techniques: https://heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/59777-Bighorn-3260EL-Shocks Link

I'm a big fan of the Bilsteins they've outlasted the OEMs and the Monroes on our Landmark. IMO I believe Erika's Bilsteins failed because of a faulty install.

May your new furnace be smell free like our new one.

Dan, how to you prevent the fuses from blowing when changing the battery? Battery cutoff switch before changing or cutting power to converter via CB?

The breaker location may be in the pantry cabinet next to the fridge located at the bottom.

Several of us seal around this gap because sewer gases will find their way down into the RV if left unsealed.

Re: Inverter GFI Issue It could be the brand of GFCI the inverter company is using. I know some brands of GFCI's are terrible and cause problems. - - - Updated - - - My layman theory is that the brand of GFCI the inverter company is using cannot handle a motor's inductive load and trips.

Re: Inverter GFI Issue So, Dan, do you think the brand of the refrigerator has current leakage at the motor?

Re: Inverter GFI Issue A refrigerator has an inductive load that can trip GFCI's and this seems to be a classic example of this phenomenon. Without an experienced electrician installing a snubber, the only way to prevent this problem is to plug the fridge into a non-GFCI.

A couple of questions: 1. Does the motor fan continue to run after the furnace flame as quit so to cool the heat exchanger down? It should run for about 1-2 minutes. 2. How forceful is the air coming out of the vents? I know this is a tough question, but I wonder how fast the motor is running...

Erika, I re-looked at my old furnace and mine is not discolored like the top left of yours. It definitely looks like it's overheating in that area of the heat exchanger. Not sure why it would overheat in just that area, but it is right after combustion. Here's some interesting reading...Link

Re: Melted Furnace Seal--Why? Well, it started when I called for a mobile mechanic and the soonest I could get help was 30 Nov. The cost would have been $80 service fee and $90 per hour--I figured his repair would have cost me at least $400. That inspired me to take the unit out and...

Re: Melted Furnace Seal--Why? Well, I just changed out the whole furnace. The hardest job is disconnecting and reconnecting the ducts. The new one is quieter, more heat, and the circuit board location has changed slightly. I believe the quietness and increased heat is related to a whole...

Re: Melted Furnace Seal--Why? Great search find. I wonder if Twistedwest just changed the turbine and got it working again. I going to call Suburban in the morning and see if they have a metal substitute.

Re: Melted Furnace Seal--Why? To replace the turbine, once the cover is off it will require a long 90 degree angled allen wrench, not sure what size, to remove the turbine from the motor shaft.

Re: Melted Furnace Seal--Why? Yes, there are a total of eight screws that you'll have to remove. Four that hold the housing, two hold a panel over the housing (that the circuit board is attached to) and two that hold another plate attached to the housing. Very easy.

I do, I love those lights vs what we have.

Re: Melted Furnace Seal--Why? Erika, the sail switch is in the housing around the turbine wheel...you'll see it if you take the housing off.

Re: Melted Furnace Seal--Why? I took the housing off of the wheel turbine and found that pieces have been broken for sometime because dust was on the areas where the blades separated from turbine...that would explain the odor I was smelling as the blades went under the chamber and burner...

Re: Melted Furnace Seal--Why? I figured out what it is...half of the "Wheel, Room Air" turbine disintegrated. The pieces of the part prevented the motor from turning. Now I wonder what caused it to disintegrated.

Re: Melted Furnace Seal--Why? Now I wonder if the seal is between the burner tubes and the motor/fan?

Re: Melted Furnace Seal--Why? When I took the furnace out I heard some rattling inside...as I shook it all of the hard brittle pieces fell out. I did not see any of the pieces inside when I took the outside panel off, so the "seal" must be in the back of the furnace somewhere. I took off the...

I pulled the Suburban SF-42Q furnace today because the motor would not start and found a brittle, broken, and melted seal of some sort that was internal to the furnace. What was it from? There are no burn marks in the RV or internal to the furnace. For the last couple of days I SOMETIMES could...

Escapees let you know that a package has arrived via email.

I replaced my high-pressure regulator last year with a more expensive type that's adjustable...sometimes you get what you pay for.

I have the Green Mountain Davy Crockett. It does weigh about 70 lbs. when full of pellets, but is still portable. I like its WiFi system which lets you know the temperature of the grill and food via your phone. It cooks almost everything perfect (chicken, loins, brisket, ribs, etc.) and it's...

Join Escapees and use their mail service...works great.

I used one of these shutoff valves (Link), along with a couple of 90 degree elbows to make everything fit. I like the press fit sharkbites because they swivel.

I assume you have the Dometic 310 or 320...yes, the water will "percolate" some after the flush. I've yet to figure out why it sometimes does it more than others. I had the same worry you do about it overflowing, but I installed a shut-off valve at the toilet inlet and it will still flows water...

The air conditioner stain is normal, but the roof stain I've not seen before. By your pictures, it seems to be more on the edges. Is that correct?
