Trailer Life TV
I just tried to access the Trailer Life TV site and got a message "TrailerLife.tv is no longer available"? I'm not sure if that's because my subscription to the video service has expired, or something else. Has anyone else been successful getting on this web site?1.4KViews0likes5CommentsFresh Water Tank Leak Repair Advice
Hello, Noticed water dripping slowly off the bottom of the frame in the front of our 2014 Southwind, and at the same time noticed that the water level in the 80 gallon fresh water tank (actually I determined there are two 40 gallon fresh water tanks connected together) dropped more than it should have with the little bit of water we were using. I found a steel plate screwed to the side of the frame, removed it and was able to see the two tanks laying side by side. There is a small hose connected to the bottom of the tanks in effect joining them together. The tank on the left was actively leaking a small stream of water along a curved line, similar to a seam, about a half inch from where the hose connects to the tank. The hose is definitely NOT loose, and when I put a slight pressure on the hose I can see the leak increase along that curved seam. I'm afraid to touch it now as it feels as though it would not take much to make it fail completely! Does anyone have advice on a product that could be used to apply to the seam to stop the leak, and more important strengthen the area so it doesn't occur again. I think the pressure of 40 gallons of water must have made a defect occur in that area! TIA Jim p.s. I have a picture but can't seem to find how to "attach" it to my post?1.4KViews0likes8CommentsRe: Homemade Jack Stands
The RV's wheelbase is a about 17'6", and the drop in my driveway is about 12-14 inches over that length. I was hoping to be able to run the fridge and extend the slides while parked in the driveway to prepare the RV prior to a trip. I do not intend to keep it there for more than a day, and would NOT live in it while parked in the driveway (my development restricts this behavior). How level does the unit need to be to run the refrigerator and extend the slides safely? Would raising it 6" be enough to run the frig? How level does the RV need to be to extend the slides?386Views0likes0CommentsRe: New engine behavior rhythmic ocsillation while accelerating
I called Fleetwood and their Tech Help said what I'm seeing is due to the engine computer not being programmed for making the fuel rich enough due to the higher altitude, and so it's running a little on the lean. He said I can call a Ford dealer, give the VIV# to see if there is a service update to "reflash" the computer.261Views0likes0Comments
