    This plead for accolades has me in stitches, is the consumer finally obtaining leverage? Do you suppose that my potential Negative feedback might fuel a passion that you have yet to recognize, to, I dunno, make a quality product, stand behind it, actually honor warranties? Do my experiences...

    Balancing our trailer tires

    They will if you push them to. I bought my Endurance from the Good-year dealer, and they were reluctant to balance too. I argued that an unbalanced tire suffers the same premature wear as a vehicle tire does. I have now switched to the Centramatic self balancers as part of my greater weight...

    Frameless window piano hinge

    A good and willing automotive glass might work, provided they can get all of the old glass off of the window hinge, but they also need to get the new glass bonded to the frame hinges. That might prove to be a struggle. There are a vast array of replacement windows outside of the monopolizing...

    Window rain guards

    I bought some of these, as they would be both functional, and tie in with the retro look. But due to the metal siding seams being right in my way, I ended up not using them. https://www.camperid.com/drip-caps.html

    Screen door brushes

    Yellowing shelves in the Frigidaire...

    Well, the bucket is a piecemeal for parts, and the white front is discontinued. That's as far as I got.

    Yellowing shelves in the Frigidaire...

    That's fairly bad considering this takes alot of time to pregress to this stage. Usually this can be sped up by lots of off time, and warm ambient temps when the unit is off and or closed up. Judging from the Logo n the bucket, the fridge may be 8-12 years old?

    Terry Classic V21 shade options

    There wasn't anything specifically made for the Terry Classic. The go to seems to be the "Shade RV" product. Beyond that, it's best to visit your roof at least 2 times per year, and keep washed at least once, this keeps it white and reflective, and alerts you to any potential issues. I wash mine...

    Flickering LED lights.

    Usually,,,,,it's the driving resistors that fail, causing the LED to flicker, or go out. If it's a through hole solder type, and you are handy, htey can be fized, if it's an surface mount resistor, than it's a bit more difficult procedure.

    If you are a 410A refrigerant system, which contains equal parts of R-32, and R-125, and you have had refrigerant loss, technically what's left in the system should be recovered before a new and complete charge is added. This is because neither refrigerant parts will leak out at the same amount...

    Norcold (1210) Fridge Stopped Working, Now It Works

    Can i disconnect batteries while hooked to shore power?

    Get a hardwired surge protector in either 30, or 50 Amp, with the wired remote display. It will display the shore voltage avail to the camper, the amps you are using, line frequency, IE: 60H, and fault codes. It can be bypassed from the remote, there are no dog bone units outside, just plug in...

    Dangerous wiring of hot water heater.

A review 3 years ago for a 2 story to remove construction dust was priced out at 1,400.00. If you do the math, you have more than one person, and half a day...

    A/C FREEZING AND MAKING ICE

    SO when an AC unit freezes up, there are several reasons. Low refrigerant, a low refrigerant charge will cause excess frost and some ice depending on how long it's been running. Usually the frost/ice pattern will encompass some of , or most of the coil, not all of it. A bad, misreading, or...

    Where might short circuit be?

    I have found, regardless of the definition for the red light being, "over current, or short circuit", that when the circuit is simply "open", like removing the fuse, or disconnecting the circuit wire from the screw terminal next to any fuse, you will get the red light. Maybe leave the USB out of...

    Very enlightening wiring job we found when our microwave quit

    I posted in my first year a very similar issue found at the shore cord to house wiring J box. Lack of enough stripped/exposed wire, and or lack of good wire to wire contact within the wire nut can cause this. Shorting connections can lead to heat can lead to your blackened and partial smoldered...

    I've always said, use credit cards for everything you can. You at least can get consumer protection with them. My deposit was placed with a C/C, although a tiny percentage of the final cost, if a charge-back is successful, it will turn someones head. Alternately, when do people stand up?
