Adding grab bars to shower

We have a 2008 Big Country triple slide. I have some mobility and balance issues and need to add a grab bar to the shower. It doesn't need to hold full weight, but I do not need it to pop off like suction cups would. We have a corner style shower ...

Dirt Devil Rug Rat

Just a heads up, for those as dumb as me. We have a Dirt Devil "central vac" in our rig. The Rug Rat attachment quit spinning. I took it all apart, cleaned it, lubricated it with silicone spray. All to no avail. So we started to look for a new one: $...

Main AC Froze up last night-what to do now?

We have a 2015 fifth wheel with two AC units. Our 2005 had only one and I never froze it up in 10 years use. On the thermostat I press the inside temp for Zone 1 (main) and it says 32 degrees F. If I run it I think the compressor is not cycling on...

Rear wall of 5er detached from floor

to grease or not to grease

I have one of those greaseless plastic rings on the pin box. I'm thinking that I should still grease the pin. What do you use, white grease, bearing grease, WD-40 or something else?

Opinions on Lippert 6 pt. leveling system

We are about to place on order on a Sandpiper 371REBH and I'm considering the Lippert 6 pt. leveling system. It's a $2,000 option. What is everyone's thoughts on it? Is it a troublesome system or pretty reliable? Does it work well? Thanks!

Sludge build up in 1 1/2 bath fifth wheels

My wife and I have been RVing for over 30 years in five different motor homes. Our last motor home had a bath and a half with four tanks, two black and two gray. When we would dump, it would take 10 to 15 minutes to drain and flush all four tanks. La...

Slide leak

So our bedroom slide leaks when it rains hard. 2012 Crossroads Cruiser. I've checked the three seals and all seems to be well, and they have been lubricated since new. It leaks in from the bottom rear of the slide onto the floor above the stairs. I c...
