Overdue update
On the AC, we decided to cut the panel to just allow "full blast" out bottom of unit. This made a huge difference over trying to use the vents which are really chewed up. I'm trying to think of a way to get some flex tubing or rigid circle/oval tubing.
panel under bedroom is still holding strong.
for the TV
Ended up having to do quite a bit of work
EGR cooler was blown, replaced it
replaced dummy plugs for long start issue
replaced stand pipes for long start issue
replaced oil cooler
replaced coolant
cleaned turbo
verified updated stc fitting on hpop
finally finished cleaning outside of camper and wow, what a difference. I still need to do a good wax/sealer on it but so far is at least easy to clean.
trailer disconnect/fault was from what appeared to be bad ground. Replaced connector on TV and trailer. Also installed 7pin in the bed to connect the trailer
Still need to get the heater element but the gas is working fine. We haven't used the gas for anything else at this point.
Still don't know about FW tank.
I've been 'window shopping' at something a little newer for some longer trips we would like to do where the water tanks will become more important.
