2019 Thor Class C.  We have two batteries. After three days the indicator showed only one light. 1/3 full.  I tried to start the generator and everything went dark. The generator wouldn’t even crank. I guess there was not enough juice left to start it but now all the 12 V is dead.  I ran the engine for a half an hour but nothing has changed. All the indicator lights are dark even the tank levels and lpg level.  ... View more

Five days into our three month road trip our Dometic refrigerator started beeping indicating that the propane flame would not light. We were driving down the interstate at the time. The propane tank was 1/4 full and I have now filled it up.  That’s not the problem. I can hear the igniter clicking. I opened the hatch to see if the spark was occurring somewhere where it shouldn’t. I had that before on a different RV.  That wasn’t it either. Not sure what to do now. Any ideas? ... View more

Thought I'd share my latest project. I'm going to try to do the DIY repair on my peeling clear coat. Lots have been said on this subject, most geared toward sand, prime, basecoat, and clearcoat. I've got an unaffordable estimate of $3000 to do just that. This morning I got up, and thoroughly cleaned the painted fiberglass roof. In my opinion, it cleaned up very well, with car wash and soft brush first, and secondly with magic eraser. The clear coat on the roof is completely gone, but the paint appears to be in good condition. I plan to use Wet Look Zep on the surface of the roof. I've used Zep on another motorhome, and am totally happy with the results. The radius where the clear coat is peeling will be a bit more challenging. I'm planning to use a plastic razor blade to scape the peeling line to a hard edge. Wet sand 1500 grit on remaining clearcoat, and very lightly sand the exposed basecoat. I'm not going to try and feather the peeling edge, and rather hope I've got a good, well adhered hard edge. 3 coats of raddle can 2K clear in the radius area only, will hopefully do the trick. There is evidence that this is not the first repair to the radius area of this coach. There is a distinct line where a previous repair was done. Just got this coach last year, so don't know how long it lasted. Last part of this project will be detailing the paint. ... View more

We are looking for recommendations for a hybrid electric/propane tank-less water heater for our 99 Damon Challenger 310. We are looking for one that will run off of electricity when the bus is parked and set up and propane when dry camping or traveling. We currently have a 6 gallon electric/LP heater that really limits us when it comes to showers and washing dishes (works fine for one shower but we have to wait a while before washing dishes afterwards and even then not enough hot water to rinse). Does anyone have any experience that they can share which might point us in the right direction as far as brands, models and cost? Thanks in advance for your input! ... View more

I'm new here, and curious. How many of us in Class C own Dodge B300 incomplete cab/chassis based RV's? I know two others- Steve aka Ripsaw, with a 1977 Brougham, and Leroy aka 1978_Dodge _Delta who owns a 440V8 powered sharp looking 1978 Delta RV. I would like to ask, and offer, help, idea swapping and comparing notes on our particular RV's which are based on the Dodge B300 van chassis. Yeah, I know. These are low tech, podgy old RV's that would be considered "entry level" for folks like me, but I have a deep and abiding respect for the quality of these old "monsters of the open road". And anyone wanting to pick brains, joke about, share notes or just brag about our old A- Dodge-io's are certainly welcome to PM or email me. Between all of us we can form a real good support group, and help each other with problems we know we'll encounter with an older vehicle. Sure. I'd love a new RV. But I'd rather have an older one already paid for, and a lotta great memories. Call me frugal, an old hippie, or whatever you will. I'm proud of my old land yacht. Mopar Madness Manifest in the flesh, Mark aka White Knight P.S. Mine's a '72. Is there an older one out there someone's motorvating in? Maybe even a Travco? W/K ... View more

Hello! I'm a complete newbie to RVs. I'm buying a motorhome to travel the country for a year or two. I have no pets. (I had extensively traveled America and camped all over for 20 years without an RV and I love tent camping) I found that my favorite places (in National Forests and parks) allow 24 feet max motorhome max. Sometimes even the road to the place has this length limit (windy mountain roads). Upon viewing 24' units I feel tehre's too little space to fulltime in for 1-2 years. I guess I feel the fatigue from my extensive tent camping and all the tiny houses I stayed in, as I've been a full time traveler for quite a while 26' seems like a very good compromise size-wise (ideally I'd want a 31 but this won't get me into placdes) Gas mileage on those seems to be the same, prices too. The problem is the size limits. Do you think I can get away with 26' in 24' spaces? I see some indications people had been doing it but not sure if it's for real. ... View more

Crazy lady here who just bought a used 1999 Coachmen Santara and even with that 3-4 inch manual, I can't figure out how to use the water system. When I hooked up the hose to the city water inlet I followed the diagram on the compartment wall but the water just flowed out on the ground through 2 open drain pipes that are under rv about where the bed is. I couldn't find any shut off valves for them nor were they mentioned anywhere in the manual. Help! ... View more

Hi!  I'm looking for some advice/input please.  We have a Thor Vegas 25.2 and I desperately want to gut the bathroom and make the whole space a wet bath.  Some points to consider: We removed the RV toilet and use a compost toilet instead.  The shower and toilet are on elevated platforms.  Can this platform be removed and leveled with the floor? I'm unsure what's under it besides the black tank, which we don't use since we removed the RV toilet, and the heater vent, which can be rerouted.   Can the cabinets currently in there (factory) stay since they are already humidity-proof or should I plan for new cabinetry that is made from FRP or something similar?   If anyone has done this in their MH, I'd love to hear from you!  What were the lessons learned, what would you do differently, etc?   Thank you! ...
