Shortly after buying our 5er I opened up the breaker panel and fuse panel and checked wire connection tightness on all hot, neutral, ground, +12, and 12 ground points. Around half the screws were not properly tightened. Would probably have experienced the same as you over time.
Ditto. I had issues with my A/C.. Poking around one of the wires moved (NOTE I do know how to poke around safely. REMOVE POWER FIRST (Unplug) well I got out ye old screwdriver and 3 1/2 turns later.. .Was happy
Decided it was a good time to take a tour-de-screws.
Now I tell folks many RVers have "A few screws loose".
I used to have a co-worker who fully agreed. but somehow I don't think we are talking about the same screws.
I also had a loose screw on the power inlet
And one camper I assisted had not one not two but SIX loose screws in his shore cord Outlet (The part that plugs into the RV).. Now in case you are wondering there are only six screws INSIDE that device (plus two more outside.. Those were tight)
We got him back in business.. But I'd have loved to be a witness to the chat he had when he got back to his dealer.. You see the Trailer was so new the sticker was still in the window. .I kid you not.
