OP- If you post what rig you have, chances are good there are folks here with the same or similar rig and setup and we can better offer suggestions when you hit these "snags"

At the end of the day, that is all they are, snags. You'll get through it, but many of us would like to be neighborly and help- if you'll let us ;)

I think something that most RVers realize is that when something goes wrong, it usually happens away from home where you have limited tools and resources...and you have other things planned for your day ;)

Quite a few here have had our days saved by a fellow member offering experience or looking it up for us while we were a million miles from home. Even more have offered the same for others on a trip.

Like many forums, this one has a variety of folks and personalities. And just like other forums, when you meet up with one that you don't like, skip over it. Give what you want, take what you need, don't sweat the rest of it :)

I can't really picture your current issue (when it rains, it pours, right?), but with your rig's model and year we could see the layout online and likely even some pics that could help.

You might be surprised to learn there are many RV techs here, not just DIYers. We also have many, many DIYers who have done quite professional work. All with a generous desire to help out in some small way for other RVers.

It really sounds like you are on your initial trip with this rig? We call that a "shakedown trip." There are usually numerous things that happen, you have to fix, have to figure out in a new rig, etc. We even have a standard way to work with it called "camp driveway"

Camp a day or so in your driveway near all your resources to address whatever you find out and get familiar with your rig.

But since you are out- and in really cold weather- you don't have the luxury of going back into your house while you figure out what to do about it...you are LIVING right in the middle of it. That triggers our sense of urgency to help you work out the issues you are finding.

So you may sense some of that intensity in responses, too.

If you're still having some troubles, tell us what you need help with and give us enough info to work with and we'll all do our best to help our neighbor :C

Thanks, I appreciate it. This is our 2nd ‘long’ road trip, other than that, we full time in it in a park in Texas and I think bc of the cold and freezing temps, are running into different issues since it is a first. I appreciate your response and will continue to search out answers on here from people bc the group does help a lot. In this particular circumstance, we did get it taken care of right after that one person posted asking what model the RV was, so I wasn’t quick to respond to that. I will provide as much info as possible in future posts so people will have enough info to answer - thanks again!!
