What did you do to your Class C MH today???

Bought it a small Christmas present.:B

Painted the repair section (plastic sheet) for the right side cab-over area. Still need to remove the luan down to the foam and get rid of the wet wood around the edges. Will probably do a temporary install this week for the winter, and pull it apart for the permanent repair in the spring.

Yep. As before the trouble started, it'll now run two of them, both on high... a supposed load of 3,000W. But it sounds like it's working pretty hard, so I normally run one on 'high' and one on 'medium'. Still not as much noise as the #@%&ed LP furnace.... but not as many Btu's, either.

About two weeks ago, I decided to fix the annoying little drip from the bathroom sink drain in the Tiger. I don't use that tiny sink, but it gets water in it when I shower, so has to be re-winterized each year, and it drips then.

So I turned on the LP furnace to start knocking the chill off, then plugged in the Onan and started it. After it was warmed up, I tried to use the 1500 watt electric heater... oops! The 2800 watt Onan wouldn't carry that load... it'd run rough, then stall. It acted sort of like it was the fuel filter.... run for a while under load, stumble, stall, but be OK to restart almost immediately.

I went ahead and found the drip and fixed it; too dam' cold outside to work on the Onan. The triangular gasket was broken on the shorter leg of the P trap. Some non-hardening sealer was all it took, since there was no way to get a new gasket on it.

When it warmed up a few days later, I replaced the Onan's fuel filter (a real PITA; you can't see the lower clamp). Nope, same symptoms, so it wasn't that. Darn!

I finally remembered that there's a spark arrestor screen in up inside the exhaust. Once I got to it and cleaned it, all was fine.

Dunno if the 4.0 & 3.6LP Onans that are common in class C's have a spark arrestor screen, but I suspect they do. So y'all may want to remember this as a maintenance item every year or few hundred hours.

Replaced the o2 sensor behind the cat and before the muffler on a E350 v10, that got clogged after running a can of Seafoam on our last trip. $52.00! Bad enough but tore my insulated coveralls crawling underneath on a bolt sticking down. Ran for about 30 minutres after clearing service engine soon light and light didn't come back on. sure hope that clears up the problem. There are 3 of those o2 sensors under there.

Opened the door and looked inside, turned on a light.....yup, still works....Back at the renovations in the new year, can't wait to finish it and take it on it's first trip :).

I did not get do anything, One It is too cold, Two Had to work on the Dodge Grand caravan and found out it needs a coil $35:B
