Re: Water Heater Quit
Thanks for the replies! I unplugged the thermal fuse and plugged the brown wire in directly. I then went in and turned on the LP WH switch. I went back outside and PRESTO, the burner was lit! I then went in and turned off the gas and turned on the electric, waited about half an hour to see if water was hot. It was! Old-Biscuit, you just saved me a service visit to the dealer and a pile of money. I ordered 2 of them from Amazon for about $15 and read a bunch of reviews that indicate it is a common problem. Thank God for an easy fix! I've been having bad luck with appliances. The trailer before this one went through 2 air conditioners and a refrigerator in just over 3 years. One of the AC units and the refrigerator were both covered under warranty, but it's still a PITA.347Views0likes0CommentsRe: My 2017 quest for the perfect TT!

I only have three choices when it comes to the floor. 1. Wait for someone who understand ands wants an Ultra-Lite and does not expect something that is practically built out of air to feel like a rock. 2. Give it away to needy family. 3. Install 200 pounds of oak hardwood flooring over the floor to make it more rigid so people can get the concrete floor feeling they want. Now I am talking about pictures. ;) 1. Be patient. Do you mention the spongy floors in your ad? Obviously this is something that wouldn't show up in pictures and perhaps that is what people don't expect when they see a nice set of pictures. I see 2 choices: 1. Mention the floor, so they are expecting it. 2. Don't mention it. Either way, just be patient.272Views0likes0CommentsRe: Life expectancy of AC unit?
Thanks for all of the replies. Sounds like I've been unluckier than most. I think I'll be checking on the surge protector/EMS idea. But, what do you do if the voltage is low? I see people all around me running AC at every campground, apparently they aren't having trouble.518Views0likes0CommentsLife expectancy of AC unit?
I am about to give up on travel trailers. The AC quit on this trailer after slightly less than 2 years. Thankfully, it was still under warranty. Now, it seems to have quit again, leaving us miserable in 100 degree heat. I think the next week or so will be tolerable since we'll be in the Colorado Rockies, but I dread the trip back home. What have been your experiences with RV AC units?5.2KViews0likes15CommentsRe: Trip Report: The Perfect Family Trip!
Sounds great! I admire your courage in going without reservations. We've added a 3 yr-old to our family, so there's no way all 6 of us can fit in our little camper unless we take a tent, which is something we don't want to do in summer's heat. We decided to split the kids this year. We've got about 16 days allocated with the smallest 3 to go to Colorado in June. Then, in mid-July, the little ones will stay at their other grandma's, while the 14 yr-old flies to Alaska with the old folks to rent a motorhome for Denali, Seward, and points in between.612Views0likes0Comments
