Vinyl Roof Cleaner
I have a Carriage Cameo with a VINYL roof and I am looking to see if there is any cleaner safe for vinyl that I can spray on the roof and then just rinse off. Presently, I am using Dawn and Murphy Soap with a roof brush, then rinse off. But I am getting up in years and want to see if there is something that works and is easy to use. If there is an applicator that is similar to those applicators used on lawns for insects or weed, that is just sprayed on it would be great. Anyone with experience or good suggestions?70Views0likes2CommentsRe: Bad RV Products Supplier - RV Products Shop
An update of my problem. After getting replacement T-Stats the problem with the furnace not restarting or kicking out early still persisted. I finally called another repair person and he "thought" since we looked at every other option that it was the control board in the HVAC unit. Evidently, signals do not go directly from the t-stat to the furnace. It goes through the board in the HVAC unit first. We took the gamble and replaced that board. We also invested in an EasyTouch 352 t-stat. Although pricey it has many features the OEM thermostat does not have. After spending over $1000 and hooking everything up, all seemed to work fine. Hopefully, it continues next Winter. (Warmer weather came) I recommend the EasyTouch highly, although costly. It is worth it.199Views0likes0CommentsRe: Bad RV Products Supplier - RV Products Shop
Just a post in addition to above. An Edit...... Because my OEM thermostat did not work properly, I needed to install this unit hanging from the wall without the Mounting Plate. It worked fine using the Heat Pump, but my Furnace which was needed for coming cold weather did not function properly. (It cycled on and off repeatedly). Well, I thought it was the furnace, so I called a repair person and after trouble shooting the furnace and also removing it and bench tested it came to the conclusion that the thermostat was defective. We confirmed this by taking the wires from the T-stat (Red and white) and hot wiring it together. It worked fine. So, it appears that I also received a defective product. As and end note, I will say that I did receive a Mounting plate from the company without any communication, and I was able to obtain another thermostat that when installed is operating at 100%. It cost me $260.00 for the Service call.254Views0likes0CommentsBad RV Products Supplier - RV Products Shop
Just a note that RV Products Shop in Witchata, KS should not be used for RV Parts. It seems they just carry HVAC items. Here is my story. Last week I found them in the internet using a Coleman Mach thermostat as a search tool. There web site look really good, so I emailed them via their contact method and they got an answer in a few hours. All is good. I ordered the thermostat they suggested ( 1 of the 2) and messaged back that I had done so. The part was shipped the next day via USPS Advantage and arrived 5 days later ($18.00 shipping). Now the kicker......... I opened the T-Stat for installation, and noted that the Mounting Plate that is supposed to come with it was missing. I then messaged him both from the general email and from my account. I noted the problem and asked to please advise. It is now almost 3 days later and have not heard from them. I will note, that the unit they sent me appeared to be slightly used and the manual appeared used also. Due to the cold weather we are having I needed a T-stat that worked, as the one in my RV was failing. I wired it up and although the gauge is 3 degrees off, it does work (Checked with 2 other thermometers). So, it is just hanging from the wall now. I did find their phone number, but they don't answer and say to leave a email communication.Solved605Views1like4CommentsRe: oxidizing
We have a 2012 Carriage Cameo. We try to wash it every 6 months, min. First I do the roof with Dawn and Murphy Wood Cleaner, the on the sides I use Meguiar's Ultimate Wash and Wax. Then after that I go around the RV and spray all the seals with silicone lubricant(inside and outside seals). Then I check the integrety of the sealer to be sure there are no potential leaks. If you have "chalking" I don't know if you are beyond help, but you can check on line or at a automotive store to see if there is a product that helps with the chalking and also cleans and waxes.

A year ago I got 2 100 A Lithium batteries from Li Time. Great batteries and service. Check them out, and don't be afraid to call them for recommendations. But be sure your charger in your coach can handle Lithium. Most chargers for DeepCycle can not do lithium unless they are duel rated or auto sensing. I had to change mine. I upgraded to the Progressive Dynamics Lithium/Deep Cycle Charger. Don't be afraid to call them either. Very happy with both purchases. LI batteries are an advertising jungle with prices all over the place. The ones I bought are reasonable and Customer Service was Great.581Views0likes1CommentRe: LED Ceiling Lights
I have a 2012 Cameo and I have switched most of my lights from Halogen to LED. It is easy. Just be sure you get a compatable bulb. If you search your bulb number and look for LED replacement, you will be okay. We are full timers, so because I pay my own electric bill I changed. I got 6000K white. If your switch is dimmable, be sure the led is.676Views0likes0Comments
