    Small Leak from Windows

    I had a window that had a similar leak. I fixed it by tightening, using a #2 square bit, the screws across the top of the window. I didn’t really crank down on the screws, just snugged them up a bit. I also had a small bedroom window leak on our RW that drove me crazy trying to figure out...

    Caution decal

    Don’t have a good place to put it, but would like to have one that says “Reflex testing in progress - to participate- cut this RV off and see if OLD man can stop”

    Refrig did not switch over to propane

    Davey, on my rig, I have the selector lever pointing to the tank I am currently using. When that tank runs out, the regulator automatically starts drawing from the other tank and displays and “empty” signal. I turn the lever to the other tank so I can remove it and get it filled. I’m...

    Tire wear - normal or abnormal

    Re: Normal (or abnormal) Since you report the rig “looked unused,” i would ask was the rig stored for long periods on a concrete pad? I had a similar “cupping” on the tires of a small trailer I pull. My SIL, an automotive instructor in a VoTech, explained that tires left sitting in one...

    Neale, our rig is a 2015 so I would doubt the bad batch theory. The shiny, new break area, seems to be towards the outside edges and I believe these brackets are cut or formed from a solid piece of steel, so...my thinking is that the original welder, when attaching the bracket, got the center...

    New Member - Hanger Club

    Thanks for the comments, Jim. Look closely at the photo I am attaching to this reply and there is a very small percentage of the frame/base area of the hanger that looks shiny. Thinking this breakage has been slowly progressing without being visible until final letting go. Cost was a bit...

    Dometic Blizzard condensation

    On hot and humid days, open windows, open doors, or a lot of going in and out will let enough of the moisture laden air in to cause condensation problems. That said, if everything is closed up tight and you are getting the condensation, then you have an air leak some where there souldn’t be...

    Well, we just joined that small minority of HL owners who have experienced Hanger failure. Left our campground in Vermont with some rough roads and tight turns until we got back to the Throughway. Thought I heard a pop and did notice some “different” noises while towing but didn’t feel any...

    black water tank for the toliet

    Don’t take this the wrong way but, are you determining the black tank is not emptying by the light indicators inside your rig? These sensors are notorious for being unreliable.

    Norcold 2118SS cooling challenges

    Another source of air leakage can come from the drainage tube that should be hanging outside one of the vents. The source of this drainage is a small cup like collector high up on the interior wall of the refer compartment. Where the tube terminates on the outside end, there should be a small...

    A/C dripping water inside camper

    Another thought, when we first got our RW, we were camping in Gulf Shores and running both A/Cs but were in and out of the rig frequently so we were leaving the door open and had the screen door shut. This allowed a lot of hot, humid air in the coach and condensation started forming on the A/C...

    AC concerns

    Not sure if my experience will be of any help to you but here goes. My front AC started making a terrible noise and I thought it was going to seize up at any moment. I tried to find the source of the noise but was unable to do so because when I removed the cowling the noise wasn’t there...

    Oshkosh Awnings

    Gary, that is indeed how they were designed to work. I had the same situation on our 2011 Road Warrior. However, while on a trip to Canada, left the awning out in light rain while we walked to our friend’s rig in the same park but not visible from our rig. Came back to find the awning...

    AC fan cycles Low to High and back to low

    Erica, my 2015 BH does this occasionally and I was concerned but, at last years National, I was talking to a Dometic rep and he explained this up/down cycling. He indicated the system is designed this way after it has been working very hard for extended period, as the temp approaches the set...

    SOLVED: Leveling system display failure

    When my rear sensor fell off the frame (was laying on top of the chloroplast) due to the screws backing out, I found it by first finding the cross members (look for screws in the middle of the belly) then removing 3-4 screws on the side and peeking into the center. Found mine on second try...

    Ladder rack under trailer

    Tom, they are called “beam clamps” and I have gotten some from Home Depot and on line. I believe the other big box store and some hardware stores carry them. Just be sure that you get the ones that allow the all thread rod to extend through the body of the clamp. Some just allow the threaded...

    Paint code

    Re: Paint codea Dave, I believe your Bh is the same color as ours. I needed to touch up a place on our rear cap where a tree branch rubbed it. I got the paint codes from HL service and went to a local auto paint store to buy them. The light color was no problem but the dark color took some...

    advice on tight tank idea

    Emery, DW and I have been full timing for 6+ years and I will share some of MY experience. We usually need to dump our 45 gallon black tank every 7 or 8 days. This in itself is not a big amount but to, IMHO, throughly flush, I run 3-4 times that amount of clean water through the system each...

    Re: high pressure regulator issuesr The inline pressure regulator that has been on both our coaches has been 30psi one. When the last one failed just before we were leaving town without the rig and severe cold weather was predicted, I could not find one at any of the 6 places I can get parts...

    Under side of 5th wheel nose

    The material is just a type of fiberboard, IIRC, and if it has gotten wet from the inside, it can be deteriorating and no amount of supporting will last. The panel will need to be replaced if that is the case.

    Def

    If that works for you I’m glad, however, the diesel fuel is usually a lot higher so the miniscule amount saved on DEF is lost on 60 gallons of diesel fuel. JMTCW

    Shore Power Reel troubles

    Jeb, see my previous post (#10) since you may have the same problem. The chain/sprocket I was talking about is located on the front side of the reel. Getting to it is the challenge but if you can, the repair is easy.

    Any Experience with EEZTire TPMS

    Gary is probably very correct however, I can vouch for the extraordinary customer service and technical support that I have received from TST on the few occasions I have had a question or problem. So, IMHO, sale price is just one element in my decision to buy a particular product.

    TPMS - Flow Through or Cap

    Ronn, I have 2 Flow through sensors on my inside dually wheels, makes checking and filling those tires easier but when filling they do slow down the rate of the air going in so takes a little longer. I have the regular sensors on the other 4 wheels of the truck but they have the antithieft...

    Air conditioning Dometic B57915.711co

    When my AC’s “approach” the set temp, they will “pause” for very short time and resume at a higher or lower fan speed. IIRC, the AC has a “brain” that tries to keep the unit running at optimal speed. When my AC is doing this, I can adjust the temperature setting lower by a degree or two and it...

    Looking for Tire Changing method recommendations

    Mine is a Kobalt from Lowe’s, comes with a Lifetime warranty, and mine is still working well after 8 years of use. - - - Updated - - - Another item I was taught to do was always return to the Zero point when storing the TW, never leave it with tension when it will be stored for a period of time.

    Bedroom slide

    I know you are plugged in to shore power but do you know the status of your battery power? Low battery power is often a culprit in slide/leveling issues. Quick and easy check before you start more involved measures.
