Hail damage
Our motorhome was hit by hail a couple weeks ago. The adjuster is going to take a look at it and see if it's damaged. The hail was about 1 3/4" in diameter. We had just put new covers on the AC units and they look like swiss cheese now. I don't know how delicate these roofs are. Does this size of hail have the potential to do a lot of damage to the roof?3KViews0likes10CommentsNew owner electrical problem/question
I parked my motorhome in our storage unit and tried to plug into a 110 outlet. It immediately tripped the circuit breaker. I was using the 50 amp shore power cord with an adapter to plug right into the outlet. It's about 25' long. I checked and rechecked everything in the coach and nothing was turned on. I even had the fridge switched over to gas only. I wouldn't think the battery charger would pull enough amps to trip the breaker. Any ideas?1.7KViews0likes10CommentsExterior Renovation
We just bought an RV about a month ago and it's time to get the exterior looking good again. It's actually in pretty good condition as far as white parts are concerned but the stripes are cracked and peeling around the edges. I'm looking at two different options but I'm not sure which is the better way to go. The first is to remove the existing stripes and have new vinyl made. This will cost about $3,100. The second is to remove the existing stripes and paint the stripes on. This will cost $3,500.00. The shop I'm working with has told me the new stripes, whichever way I go, have to match the existing stripes location. This makes sense as I'm sure the finish under the strips will be different than the rest of the coach. I like the idea of paint because there are so many colors to choose from and the painter is willing to do a bit of air brushing to add a little detail to the stripes rather than doing just a solid flat color. Let me know what you think.1.2KViews0likes6CommentsRe: I-80 West from Chicago,ill to York, NE
I just drove from Lincoln NE to Iowa City IA about two weeks ago. There was construction along the way west of Des Moines but it was a minor inconvenience at most. Occasionally there would be a right or left lane closed portion but otherwise normal double lane Interstate throughout the work zone. Good Luck.322Views0likes0CommentsRe: Our First Motorhome
The first clue on the generator was it's low hours. After 11 years it only had 151 hours. Whoever bought this coach didn't intend to the use the gen very much. We've already doubled that. Is there anything special we should do when dumping the black water tank? Should we dump a bunch of water into it first to help clean it out?457Views0likes0Comments
