    accordion doors? (to replace pocket doors)

    Thanks for reading this... I'm on an overhaul of the bathroom on a 2010 Road Warrior 305 and took apart the frame of the doorway to the bathroom via the bedroom since it was easier and will allow me to fit a 2' tall galvanized tank (3' diameter) as my new shower platform. Now that I'm looking...

    I found this wiring in the wall that has my pocket door

    I'm redoing the bathroom and took apart an interior wall (so that I could fit a tub inside). When I got the panel off of the wall, I found wiring inside that wall. This wall also houses the pocket door, so it is very odd that I would find wiring inside of it. These two sets are taped to each...

    Sink drain has its own vent?

    I've got a 2010 Road Warrior where I'm redoing my bathroom with the intention of removing the sink but keeping the drain as my new shower drain (or just cap it and keep the old one). I've now noticed that the drain seems to have a vent on it under the sink, I thought that would have been...

    re-hauling bathroom, I'm looking for insight from the community

    Hi, thanks for reading this...here's my progress and questions, I'm hoping that some of you may be able to offer insight or other options I didn't consider (this is a 2010 Road Warrior). I would ask these of a contractor but RV life is very different than standard homes so...: 1. I'm removing...

    Does the bathroom sink serve as a warning about the gray tank being near full?

    Thanks for reading this...my question is that I have noticed a time or two when using the shower that my bathroom sink will "burp". At about that time, I will realize it had been a while since I released the water from my tank. Is this by design, that it will give me a warning? I'm...

    sputtering difficult to run Onan (suspect a breather hose? if there is such a thing?)

    We have an Onan 5500 that will start, but sort of sputters and may stay started, but may also shut down after a couple of minutes or so. We are starting to suspect that there must be a kinked breather hose. The reason why we say that is because we emptied a lot of gas from the tank (we have a...

    Houston, TX to Rochester, NY

    Hi all, Well...after living full-time in my 2010 Heartland Road Warrior since August, I'm going to up and pull and go to make it live up to it's name. I will drive it to Rochester for a visit, then return. I will be traveling with my adventurous and trusting mother. So, any input for a...

    screen for garage separating from bottom rail

    The pull down screen for my garage is separating from the bottom rail, and I can't seem to figure out how to re-attach it (short of trying to shove it back in, which I did with a butter knife but it didn't last). Suggestions? Thanks in advance!

    converter plugged into other leg of power source? (2010 Road Warrior)

    I moved my RV from a 50amp service to a 30amp for a better view, totally worth it. But, it's leading to some electrical issues/questions. One of them is that my battery is now draining since my interior lights and radio, and likely other things are not in the 30amp line, apparently? (the...

    For those that have done it, what should I be mindful of? For example... -size -other options that exist? -silicone is my friend? and other stuff like that. (I'm replacing it since it is dry rotted and I can see sky through it) Thanks in advance for any help!

    rv market must be burgeoning because... I think I know more than the technicians I have dealt with

    Background: I bought an rv used and though I realize that there will be some quirks involved in such a purchase, this one is laughable. Enjoy. Other than that I would like to comment that this goes to show how little the salesman and other people in the office know about rvs in order to keep...

    Protecting sliding doors leading to toy hauler area

    I have a 2010 road warrior and though I was conscious of this, now that I'm looking at my stuff back there, I'm realizing how vulnerable the sliding doors are. How do you all protect them during transport?. I have straps of course but do you do a foam guard or anything else?. Thanks in advance...

    cats, cat litter, heater vents

    So, I'm assuming I need to switch from clumpy and clingy cat litter to clay chunks...so that there is less of a chance of them getting tracked into the vents? (Thanks in advance for any insight...I have two cats..and am RVing full time, hoping I'm a fit for the community I'm going to teach in :D

    2010 road warrior brake question

    I bought this used and so about to dive in to service them. We'll also be replacing some tires. Question:. Since they are drum brakes, what are the equivalent brake pads I can get at AutoZone or O'Reilly?. Or, where do you get yours from so I can also? (I would like to get them in person...

    2006 Ram 2500 5.9 short bed with B&W turn over gooseneck question

    Hi, I did search on here and saw that many use the standard 5th wheel (not sliding). So, would anybody happen to have the following configuration or have insight as to what could go wrong: -2006 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9 short bed -B&W turn over gooseneck installed over rear axle (which makes it 40"...

    I made a mess.. Is there a way to drain the oil that came out from under the generator?

    Long story short:. Petcock would not turn the whole way, so I removed it to take out the oil, but could only direct so much of it toward the hole. A friend told me to use degreaser and water but, is there a way to drain the area under the generator?. Thanks in advance for any help! (This is my...

    Half time convection/microwave should work on 5500 Onan generator?.

    Half time convection/microwave should work on 5500 Onan generator?. When I tested my Rv at the dealership (2010 road Warrior), I found that the oven worked (albeit, only the odd numbers, I think... But that's another story :) however, now that I'm running it on the generator, I'm finding that...

    Thanks so much for the help I have already received, I hope to someday help others in return! Here's a fun new one... I went around testing the outlets of my new-to-me 2010 road warrior and found that external outlets do not work (I used a nightlight and taped over the light sensor with tape to...

    external speakers: how do you turn them off?

    Although it's enjoyable having the outdoor speakers, I am hoping that there is a way to turn them off...and maybe even play something separate at the same time as what I have indoors. This is a 2010 Road Warrior, thanks in advance for any help! (for now, it was funny...but since I'm a science...

    I told my self, "Self, don't arc the battery"...then my "self" did ;)

    I was removing the battery to troubleshoot why it's not holding charge (took it home to charge it tonight), and when I was swinging that socket wrench, I made contact between the two poles and sparks flew, until I knocked it away. I'll be going back to the RV tomorrow. Since I don't have...

    Hello from Houston!

    I posted already (a question about securing a ladder) and...felt rude that I haven't done a formal intro of myself. I've secured a used 2010 Road Warrior via a dealership (apparently it was a trade in that they now regret...their loss, my gain? We'll see!)...and will take delivery next week...

    ladder for 2010 Heartland Road Warrior?

    Hello...I'm coming out the gates of RV ownership (will take delivery next week) asking about the ladder (I have a guy who will do the roof with Rhino treatment so...I want to be helpful). Currently, it does not have a ladder at all. I can afford to buy one, but I can't seem to figure out where...
