    Coleman/Mach III AC Catastrophic Failure

    Had the most miserable trip of my adult life June 30- July 4...(my trips to the Middle East were more accommodating!) The AC unit slowly failed, leaving the temps inside the unit above 90 deg at night (worse during the day). On Sat, 1 July, the AC died. I found out from the Mobile Tech that...

    Moulding killed my tv

    This happened to us on our 2nd trip. Somewhere between AZ 95 and I-40 interchange and Quartzite AZ, the trim on the main slide fell off the slide. The trim was held on with RTV and small staples. The trim and end piece are both messed up. I also found the other two trim pieces loose and almost...

    What did you do to your camper today?

    John, you could go to auto-zone or your favorite flavor of auto parts place and get a tube of Black RTV. It is usually with other sealants and gasket materials in the store. after application, you won't be able see a difference from screw head to no screw head. I would also take each screw out...

    Access to HDMI ports

    The same as mine, the tab is on the right side of the picture. I expect those release the TV from the lower bracket and the hooks on the left support it on the top bracket.

    Access to HDMI ports

    When I looked at my TV mount to see how to get it off of the rail to get to my HDMI ports, I noticed a lever on the bottom right side (as you are looking at the screen). It appears to be a lock for the mount. I will open the slide this week sometime when I go back to look at some things to see...

    2018 M26 - Should I be worried about the tires?

    My tires came with the trailer, so far there are around 500 miles on them...have traveled on nice pavement, bad pavement, really bad pavement, and gravel. They hold up really well. The real test will be this years trip down to Phoenix and the high temps on the roads through the AZ deserts.

    Back to the drawing board

    Just a suggestion, but get back on top with the unit running and feel for air being drawn into the edges of the unit...might be able to find a hidden area that didn't get sealed off correctly. I suggest doing it with the cover on and off.

    Wheels & Tires FLEW OFF Trailer

    Just by looking at the pictures, I am not so sure it was loose lugs alone...if you look closely, some of the lug studs show a torsional failure (over-torqued). They may have been previously 'Smoked On' by somebody who's elbow hadn't been calibrated in lieu of a proper torque wrench. The way...

    ATF: North Trail - water pump runs constantly

    If you have an on-demand water pump, then yes, a leaking toilet will keep the pressure drop that is seen by the pump as a demand for water pressure.

    Heartland Mallard m302 dinette too wobbly

    I have the same issue with my table. I was able to tighten up the mounting screws on the floor mounts and the table mounts. It helped some, but it still wobbles. I know it's not quite the answer you are looking for, but it is a start.

    Big Country - Wheel Bearing Grease

    If the bearings are good and the seal is installed correctly (not sitting right on the bearing), then the grease should pass through the inboard bearing, into the void of the hub filling it, and through the outboard bearing. The hub needs to be rotated while this is happening or the grease may...

    window insulation

    You can go to Walmart/K-Mart/Target get some insulated curtains that will fit the windows and hang them with tension rods long enough to fit inside the Valance thingys. Amy made ours and it is incredible how much heat they keep out of the RV. Being in Lost Wages has the advantage of many places...

    Black Tank Water Flush System

    If you have a black tank flush installed, there will be a hose port (just like city water) above the outlet, on the side of the trailer. The T-handle for your black tank may have fallen off, if you look to the left of the outlet and see a bolt looking thing, that is you problem and a new...

    What did you do to your camper today?

    This weekend I finally got around to de-winterizing the rig, repacked the hub bearings, adjusted the brakes, adjusted shower enclosure (now the door closes), installed a Simply Safe alarm system, made an extension for the short mattress (not short anymore), and thought about washing it. I then...

    Big Country - Wheel Bearing Grease

    The way the ez-lube axles are meant to work, as stated in the Dexter Maintenance Manual is that by using a non-powered grease gun (pump action type) you inject grease into the zerk until you see fresh grease coming out from around the outer bearing. The most important thing on this is to use...

    What generator to buy?

    I just got a Black Max 3600 Watt generator (on sale at Sam's Club for $299) and it will power the 15k AC, the microwave, the fridge, and the TV all at the same time with power to spare (according to the EMS reading). It has the 3 prong 30 Amp receptacle for direct hookup of the rig power cord...

    Tall Ol' Grouch and the Short Queen Mattress

    Finally got around to modifying the storage lid under the foot of the mattress to allow for an egg crate spacer at head of mattress... Just have to pull out on the addition to lengthen 'Bed' 7 inches to fully support mattress.

    Electric Sofa /bed in Garage will no longer lower.

    You might pull the switch cover and switch to see if there is a loose or disconnected wire, you should also look at the motor connections. Bad grounds are some of the leading causes of tantrums, thrown tools and vocalized profanities in the various maintenance professions! ;)

    A specific ceremony honors those yet to come home: The center of the remembrance ceremony is a small, unoccupied table. Each item on the table, as well as the table itself, has symbolic meaning. The table is small, signifying a soldier's frailty against his captors. It is covered with a white...
