Roll it out a very short distance, put a pin (long cotter pin) through the hole in the left end upper bracket, tie the arms on both ends so they don't expand out, unbolt both end brackets and get some help to lift the brackets out of the arms. Unroll the awning down towards the ground, slide the cloth out of the tube then the upper rail. Reverse for installation, and don't forget to remove the cotter pin...extend and retract a couple of times to make sure all is well. My wife and I with 2 ladders did it in less than 2 hours.Re: Weird noise! I know. I know but need help!Check for a loose hub cap on the rear wheel...Re: GFCI Issue looking for a solutionCheck your electric water heater for a burned out element...this causes a short to ground and causes GFI's to trip...just a maybe., if you happened to turn on the water heater with no water in it.Re: Narrow Staple GunI have a Porter-Cable model US-58 22ga. fine wire stapler...used mostly for upholstery, but it's also good for paneling projects...staples are Type "C" (same as Senco) available 1/4" to 5/8" length...got mine online for $89.00.Re: Spray foam insulationMany years ago when I worked at a Ford dealership that sold RVs at TTs, I worked on a class A that was insulated with spray foam from the factory...I had to chisel the foam away to get access to the wiring to repair an electrical problem...There is no way I'd do that.Re: Location of the voltage regulator neededMost later model voltage regulators are built into the alternator.Re: About painting a 5th wheelThanks for all the replies...was thinking candy blue instead of red, and then the orange flames would show better.About painting a 5th wheelJust a simple question for anyone who has done it...have you painted your RV yourself...if so, what kind of paint did you use, and how did you apply it...were you pleased with the outcome...what would you do differently? Just curious.Re: Any of you guys winterizing with air only?Been using air only for about 15 years on two different 5th wheels...empty the water heater first, pressurize the system, open faucets one at a time until I get air only, hold the toilet flush valve until I get air only, put pink stuff in the drains, and open the low point drains...maybe 15 minutes if I take my time, and have never had a problem.
