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

This is always a fun thread to watch in other forums, so I thought I'd start one here.

Hi Nevadastars. My thoughts also. But I think that the whole thermostat will have to be replaced. And I just bet that they won't have this one in stock.
A new switch and off I will go.

I decided to wash the Chateau. Get rid of the road grime. It needed it. I start on the rear. When finished I went to the streetside. Staying ahead of the sun. As I came around the corner, I heard a noise. So I walked up the side of the C, and found out that the furnace was running. UUUUUMMMMMMMM, its not on. I go inside and check the thermostat. Switch is set to off, and fan switch is set to auto. I move the switches and the blower still runs. To shut down the blower, had to pull the fuse. Back to the dealer this coming Thursday.
What do you think would cause a blower on a furnace to come on by itself?
Have a great weekend.
Remember why its called Memorial Day.

My guess would be a bad switch. Not sure what else it could be.

Went to Lowes and picked up a nice satin finish Delta faucet to replace the original white one that started to leak.

Have fun, but you know you will have a bunch of impatient motorists in cars behind you,especially coming back up the hill. Been that route many times, but not in the MH.

This week I finished the TV mount for my 50' and upgraded to HID lights.

Next week I have to finish up the Invisibrake install and then the Directv satelite.

You can see all the upgrades here:

A small panel below the sink has a light switch mounted to it, very thin paneling. It broke free from the framework so I glued two pieces of 1 by 2 behind it to add some support. It was stapled on but chinsy by all means. Also cranked up the satellite dish to get TV reception so I don't have to re-set the receiver on the computer from non use. El Mirage time trials out in the desert coming up, can't wait. The other day I took advantage of the rain and soaped it up and let the rain do the rest....

Drove it

Today I de-winterized the MH. Drained the antifreeze, filled the fresh water tank and lines with chlorinated water, let it sit for 4 hrs then drained it. refilled with just water, drained and refilled. Ready to go now.

They were 2011 but I was going by mileage on them, not smart, now I know.

I tried cleaning the seal with the toilet in place and couldn't do it. The seal faces down, against the valve, and I couldn't reach parts of the seal and couldn't see any of it.

With the toilet removed I removed the seal and could see what I was doing and see when it was clean. Putting the seal back in was tricky. Trying to hold the valve open and get at the seal to push it back into position when working thru the opening at the base of the toilet, about 4" diameter and the seal is 3 or 4 inches inside.

We are talking about the seal that keeps the water in the bowl. Not the seal between the toilet and the drain to the black tank.

At the end of last summer my toilet wasn't holding water very well, so this spring I removed the toilet and cleaned the seal. The toilet is a Thetford Aquamagic V.

The seal had a rough coating, probably calcium. I removed the seal, scraped the coating off and put it back in place. I left the toilet with some water in it for a few days to see if my fix had worked. It held water for several days so I put it back in the MH. All seems well. This was the second time I have cleaned the seal. Time will tell how long it will last.

Was it really necessary to remove the toilet to clean the seal?

I have cleaned the seal by holding the trap door open.

If after a good cleaning, the seal is still not doing so well, I plan to try what I do with wiper blades to extend their life. That is to wipe the rubber clean with lacquer thinner. A lot of loose black rubber particles clean off nicely which offers a clean sweep like when the wiper blades were new.
