What is the Best RV Flag Pole System?
Wondered what RV flag pole system you feel is the best for a class A? I am looking for a "turn key" system... nothing homemade. Also wondered if the one you prefer causes a lot of noise inside and/or rocking of the RV? Many thanks in advance!5.1KViews0likes15CommentsReplacement Interior step coverings
Wondered if anyone had replaced their Interior step covers? Currently mine are a tan rubber type material.... stains have discolored the material and I wanted to replace them with maybe a black color next time. Was hoping that I could buy something that was of a standard size and pre-molded to the proper shape. Many thanks!778Views0likes1CommentBottom Electric Step Flex
On my electric steps, the bottom step shows considerable flex. Makes you feel very unstable when you take that first step from the ground up. This coach is new to me. And I have a total of 3 steps. Otherwise they work great. Any suggestions on anything that can be done to help the situation? Many thanks!5.6KViews0likes17CommentsRe: Sulfer Smell House Battery
The batteries are very new.... all three with date codes of 5/14. The two house batteries are liquid and the starting battery is an AGM Optima Red top (a good battery). I will take it back to see if I can get any support from the retailer. BUT, I wasn't the owner at the time of purchase so they may shoot me down without providing a receipt. The house batteries were VERY low on water... if not totally dry when I discovered the problem. RV dealer thinks the Optima started the problem by way of a bad cell. I plan to replace that first and then go from there. I don't boon dock so that isn't a problem for me. But I also keep the RV in a storage lot with no access to be able to do a trickle charge. So that is why I went the route of a cutoff switch to begin with. Many thanks for the continued support and advice.430Views0likes0CommentsRe: Sulfer Smell House Battery
This RV is "new to me" and I thought I had a GEL battery for the chassis. Turns out it is a Red Top Optima that is a AGM battery and not a GEL. Not sure if this plays a part in my mystery. I am starting to read up on these batteries and learning that they may not perform well after experiencing a deeper discharge. All my challenges started due to the RV being in storage and after about 3 weeks finding out I needed a boost to start. That lead me to getting a battery disconnect installed and then shortly after finding out I had a bad cell.431Views0likes0CommentsRe: Sulfer Smell House Battery
Many thanks for all the contributions so far. I did get back to the dealer. The dealer put the meter on it and seems to think the converter is charging properly. One of the cells in the GEL Coach Battery was VERY HOT. So they seem to think that one bad cell started the problem. The other two liquid house batteries had also swollen out some. But then they resumed their old shape after cooling down. The dealer seems to think those 2 MIGHT be ok. But I expect they will need to be replaced as well. Monday I will start by checking the charge level again, then replacing the Coach battery, then evaluating the other two.431Views0likes0Comments
