Re: What did you do to your Class A MH today???
Today I picked up the Winne Brave from La Mesa RV in Tucson after having the Workhorse brake caliper replacement done under the Workhorse recall that has been pending for months. La Mesa did a great job, got it back well ahead of the promised date. If you are in Tucson or La Mesa CA and need service I highly recommend La Mesa. No, I don't work there or have an interest in the company. But I have bought two used Class A's from La Mesa and could not ask for more fair and conscientious treatment.

Replaced the kitchen sink faucet - Wow! big hands in a little space!. Hopefully sealed a roof leak around the dish antenna penetration and around the copilots window. Added an elec. plug strip from the onboard inverter to power all of the charges, computer. printer, vacuum, etc. Cleaned up the nest of wires leading to the computer printer, computer and hand vacuum. Generally straightened up and cleaned up after a one month Christmas trip. Always something fun to do with an RV!292Views0likes0CommentsRe: What did you do to your Class A MH today???
I didn't do it yesterday. It was a few months ago but others might have a similar need. The Coach is gas, with a 30 amp service. Rather than use propane in a park, and since most parts charge the same for 30 amp or 50 amp, I added an additional independent 15 amp service in the bedroom for an additional elec. space heater. Now the space heater does not draw from the main 30 amp service. The coach is fiberglas. An Aluminum coach would require a slightly different approach. I cut a hole down fairly low in the driver side wall of the bedroom, almost under the desk. If you have a slide on the driver side of the bedroom, this will require some additional consideration. I mounted a 15 amp convenience outlet with GFCI in the bedroom, then directly opposite but a few inches below the outlet in the bedroom wall I cut a hole in the outside skin and mounted a MALE plug with a weatherproof cover. A short piece of 12 gauge Romex connected the male plug on the outside to the female plug (convenience outlet) in the bedroom. Must be careful that neither the inside or outside plugs are grounded to the coach or you may blow the GFCI's. Hence the reference to an aluminum skinned coach. Must be careful that the plugs, inside and outside, are not grounded to the aluminum skin. Using a 3-wire, 15 amp outside cord, not over 25 feet in length, I plug the bedroom outlet into the 15/20 amp outlet that is on most campground posts, and the normal 30 amp shore line into the 30 amp outlet on the post. If you are not comfortable with doing electrical work, get an electrician friend to hook it up for you. This will save a lot of propane and keep the bedroom nice and cozy on the coldest nights.

Finally got around to adding the digital TV converter for the front TV. The bedroom TV was a snap. Just plug it in and watch increased coverage and better quality. The front TV was a different matter with the selector box - ANT - CABLE - DISH - VCR - AUX choices, and I was not able to remove the selector box to find the proper cables to insert the digital converter into. Finally settled for hooking it through the VCR and it works fine. I did have the forethought to buy digital converters with a pass-through feature to bypass the converter when on campground cable or dish.293Views0likes0Comments
