Re: What did you do to your Class A MH today???
Getting RV ready for fall season, first on the list was fix WH, light on switch stopped lighting, tested power and it was getting it at the switch but not lighting. Replaced switch and still no light, this time I tested the neutral wire and it was open. Traced it back to circuit breaker and found a loose connection but not the problem. Real cause was technicians PO used to fix WH didn't know what they were doing, they cut the supply wire and used wire screw on clamps instead of replacing wire into the circuit breaker or soldering the connection.349Views0likes0CommentsRe: pine sap removal from rubber roofs
Is turpentine still on the market? should dissolve it but no guarantees on it not dissolving the roof. Rubber is now plastic and plastic has softener that might be removed. I like the peanut butter, leave residue and will attract mice and squirrels away from inside.414Views0likes0CommentsRe: First lightning forecast
I installed a whole house surge protector in the motorhome just to match what we have at home. When we leave home we leave behind the lightning capital of U.S. so lightning not our major concern, much more in tune with the trees overhead for dead branches or since our run in with NUTS and the damage they caused. Falling nuts go right though sun aged A/C shrouds. Did have a laugh last trip out, with a storm approaching the MH next to us was installing a 40 foot pole, asked if it was lightning protection or a ham antenna, neither a huge flagpole ;)395Views0likes0CommentsRe: Black Streaks (Under window) up date
Soft scrub is abrasive and can take the gloss off gelcoat, you want black streak off not paint, if coach is blue paint whatever you use has to be safe for painted surfaces. If you are going to use abrasives Barkeeper's Friend is the least abrasive product. I would go the cw store route and checkout more black streak removers without abrasives and advertised as safe to use.247Views0likes0CommentsRe: Black Streaks (Under window) up date
You don't say how old the mh is, if it still has the original luster of new fiberglass or flat when cleaned and dry without wax, Blue sounds like it is a stain in the gelcoat or first layer of fiberglass, I have used bleach on bare fiberglass to remove the odd bird stain when they eat berries.247Views0likes0CommentsRe: Muffin Fan Installation Norcold 1200LRIM

Refrigerators in slide outs seem to have more problems due to the lack of venting. Each is different. I have every cooling "helper" known to man and still struggle in our 100+ degree weather, but it is better than the last TT we had! Add to that parking in the sun with reefer in the afternoon sunny side. Then there is the time door is open to get to the beer or sodas, many with kids have a separate cooler relieving the reefer of traffic. Using indoor outdoor thermometer tells the story without opening to check.357Views0likes0Comments
