Re: How structural are the plywood panels in cabinets?
Had to remove a small cabinet in my toy hauler. It was thin luan plywood stapled and glued together. Very small framing. The cabinets hanging from the walls are the same thing with some type of faux wood doors. They put enough glue on them that they would split and break trying to get them apart. No way could I have put a panel back on if I needed to. This is on a Forest River work n play trailer.740Views0likes0CommentsRe: 1981 Terry Taurus by Fleetwood blueprints
My experience with wiring diagrams even on very high end units is they are vague and change without being updated. My best results have been removing the drawers on cabinets and seeing the wires running along the floors to different appliances and lighting. Ceiling wiring can be tough but once I had to remove the AC and found some wiring that helped my situation. Any specific issue that you are dealing with?1.3KViews0likes0CommentsRe: '03 4 Winds 5000 21RB Chevy chassis 79k mi. what's it worth?

Roof leaks don't get to be called minor or major in my opinion. If it leaked, game over for me. The market is flooded (pun) right now with used units. Loans % are ridiculous.806Views0likes0CommentsRe: Leveling Scissor Jacks
" suppose you could define Stabilizing as taking SOME of the load off the tires/leaf springs such that movement inside the RV is reduced when someone is walking around or when the wind is blowing (aka: Makes things more stable inside). Whereas Leveling could involve taking ALL the load off the tires/leaf springs with the primary goal of making the RV LEVEL inside (and secondarily making it also more stable since the load will be off the tires/leaf springs). When Leveling in this manner, it is possible that some of the tires could be literally off the ground and the weight on that side/corner will be supported wholly by the leveling jack." ^^^^^^ To get the wheels off the ground with these jacks what do you use as a crank. My cordless impact,lifting my trailer, bottoms out before the wheels even think about lifting off the ground. The hand crank is basically used once there is no weight on the jacks. I can't imagine one of these would lift a class c off the ground. Stabilize against side by side movement, yes. But if these are not on the frame of the coach you are asking for issues in my opinion. Think about it. If someone was going to change a tire and put the jack on the corner of your coach to lift it, what would you think would happen.617Views0likes0CommentsRed light on > Atwood water heater
dual water heater, gas/electric. Noticed the red light on the switch has been coming on. Been running generator as I dry camp at the race track long enough to cool the inside or micro something. The electric switch has been off. I turned the gas switch off this morning as the light was on and when I switched it back on I heard the heater fire up. Plenty of hot water.2.7KViews0likes2CommentsRe: 2020 Lance TT front window condensation
From my experience in homeowner type windows, Milgard to be specific, once the window develops condensation or otherwise the window needs replacement.(they warranty them) There is a hole somewhere and moisture has gotten inside. Me. I would look for the hole and see if I could rig up something to draw the moisture out then re seal the hole. Create a vacuum in there, i guess. But that's me. I have no idea if that would work. I do know RV windows are "hugely" expensive.251Views0likes0CommentsRe: Steering problem...looking for ideas/causes
I upgraded my 09 Cambria 30Ft to Bilstein shocks and it eliminated a lot of that side sway. Also when going over train tracks no more rattling of the dishes. The coach came with upgraded sway bars, the shocks made the difference. That barrel rolling around mild corners....gone.1.1KViews0likes0Comments
