Re: 5th wheel purchase pitfalls???
Having just sold an Alping, a top of the line 5th wheel recently I can tell you this: check it over thoroughly, have the owner run all the systems to your satisfaction and show you how to operate them. Inspect all outsides of the rv including the roof and the undercarriage. Look for signs of recent work on the rv, leaks from the water, holding tanks, hydraulics, etc. Check the tires for dry rot and tread. Other than these things it should be straight forward, enjoy your purchase, enjoy your rv. We enjoyed over 20 years of rving.186Views0likes0Comments- 1.5KViews0likes0Comments
Re: 2014 Keystone Alpine Hydraulic Jacks 6 Jack System
My 2013 Alpine had some of same problems. I found a leak in one of the hoses (had to drop the coroplast on the front by the battery compartment) had a couple new hoses made up by a hydraulic repair place and I had one of the hydraulic jack cylinders rebuilt by the same repair facility. No more settling and no more hydraulic fluid leakage. Check the hydraulic hoses where they travel down behind the batteries.721Views0likes0CommentsRe: Wiring A 30amp RV Outlet - Ground & Neutral
Eighteen years ago National Electric Code required the neutral bus and ground bus be separate, usually a single screw between the two buses would have to be installed to bond the two busses. Your barn panel should have a separate ground bus. Only the house panel should be bonded together. Talk to your electrician, ask him to correct it. You will be glad you did.3.7KViews0likes0Comments
