Been busy all week but yesterday I started off by removing the caulk from the DOT lights on the front of the rig and from around the Fantastic Fan and recaulked them. There was a leak above the dash on the navigators side that dropped water right whereshe keeps papers. I think I found it, when I removed the caulk around one of the lights it was wet underneath. I haven't washed the rig or had rain since first week in July up in PNW. The caulk around the FF was silicone and the only place that it was adheared was to the aluminum roof. Then I put the rig on the leveling blocks and got down and removed the motor for the steps. All indications are that it is bad. When
I got the mounting bolts off, the motor wouldn't come out of the gear assembly. The motor had turned so far before it stopped that it was jammed. I sure hope that it is not the current sencing circuit in the controller.
Today it is start on really cleaning the rear cap and applying Red Max Pro. Tried it on a scrap of the material from the step treads and what a difference. RW said no to using it on the steps inside the rig but maybe she'll change her mind when she sees how good it looks.
