Re: Refirig fan questions
My Norcold N3150 stopped cooling on our last trip in our 2014 VIA. It was 30 in the freezer and 50 in fridge. 2 days later I heard the fan come on and a few hours later, temps back to normal. After much research, I discovered the thermostat for the fan is in an area that can be damaged by excessive heat and the one fan is in a location which at best circulates hot air. Plus, to replace this fan, you need to pull the fridge. My fridge is vented by two panels (upper & lower) on the wall of my RV. I found this website, http://www.arprv.com/ that has a product that will shut down the unit if it overheats due to being unlevel and comes with 2 fans to cool the system. Has anyone used this product?534Views0likes0CommentsKwikee Steps 4 way connector test
Hello, my Kwikee steps will not extend. I have power on the red wire at the 4-way connector but not power on the white wire for the step lockout switch. I do have power to the step lockout switch. The panel in the right front outside compartment shows all fuses “in” for the electric steps. Is there a 6 amp inline fuse I am not finding? This happened once before when I tried to start the genset and the house batteries were so low I had to start engine in order to start generator. The steps stopped working that time but the next day they began working. Same scenario again but steps still not working. The door switch test is good. However I do not have power on the ignition override system (no 12v on yellow with ignition switch on). This is on a 2014 Winnebago VIA. Thanks for any advice!1.2KViews0likes3CommentsRe: Exceeding the GCWR
Good info everyone! My weights are correct! Looks like I will be towing a trailer with my Harley and saying goodbye to the Rubicon! Its all a trade off anyway! I down sized from a 36' Winnebago Voyage. Heck, with the Via, I can park it anywhere and do a 360 in a McDonalds parking lot when necessary! Happy RV'ing!388Views0likes0CommentsExceeding the GCWR
Hello, I have the 2014 Via 25Q. Fully loaded with water, fuel and 2 adults, my GVWR is 10,970 lbs. This leaves me with 4,280lbs for my tow, a 2008 Rubicon. If my math is correct, I am over 460 lbs or 3% of my GCWR which is 15,250 lbs. My question is this: Do you go over your GCWR and if so by how much? I have heard that 10% is acceptable but have no experience doing that. Thanks, Alan3.1KViews0likes9Comments
