One of the VERY best repair manuals for RV type systems is:
Boatowner's Mechanical and Electrical Manual: How to Maintain, Repair, and Improve Your Boat's Essential Systems
Now while this is aimed at boats the systems are basically the same. The thing about this book is that it has THE BEST step by step instructions to diagnose and fix virtually any problem with plumbing, electrical and mechanical issues...even down to repairing your water pump. While there are books similar to this for RV's none of them I have looked at are not nearly as detailed or comprehensive.
I just had to jump back in here....
For many years, I made most of my living working on boats. I have also worked on the RVs of many of my client owners. I only worked on RVs of people that were already clients. Why is a two beer story.
When asked many times about how I could do both, my smart-assed answer was ....
The only difference between Boats and RVs in that water can leak OUT of an RV.
Some of the boats even did have gas systems. It was CNG not LP, but gas none the less.
Oh, and from Way Above, the typical MH has three electrical systems:
- Hotel or House 12VDC
- House of Hotel 120VAC
- Main Engine 12 or 24VDC
But they are all still just electrics and diagnose the same way.
