Re: Electric steps
To Doug; Is the step module (outside)under the steps? I did notice a metal box about 3x5x1 that does have wires coming from it, & it is right next to the motor with the large gear that turns when the steps move in or out. When I took the coach to the RV repair shops, no one even mentioned that box so I did not think it was something that had to do with this problem!! I did take off the cover for the on / off switch for the steps, on the side of the cabinet, near the door. lightly sprayed the connections with a electrical spray cleaner, then put wires back together and made sure all connections were very tight. This action still did not solve the problem, so my next move is the outside control module you mentioned, ( that metal box)! Thanks again for your input, F.N.L421Views0likes0CommentsElectric steps
I own a 36ft. 2006 Holiday Rambler purchased new in 2006, in the last two to three years I have been having trouble with the steps not extending out on the first try, and the same problem when trying to retract the steps. I would have to open & close the door several times and then all of a sudden the steps would work, other times I could open & close that door repeatedly,(driving me crazy) and nothing would happen. I have taken the coach to RV. repair shops in my area, and have replaced the motor under the steps, the motor with the big gear that turns as the steps move in or out twice, on the advice of the mechanic's. they had said that was the cause of the problem. Needless to say that was not the problem. As I write this I still have the problem. I hope someone in the forum knows about this problem and possibly even knows how I might be able to solve(fix) it. I am truly at my wits end. Thanks, in advance to anyone who can help. Frank L2.3KViews0likes9Commentselectric controled awnings
I have an awning that is controlled by depressing a button, both inside the motorhome or outside on the arm of the awning! In the past, I have tied down the extended awning while at a camp site, with never a problem! The awning DOES NOT have a sensor that would (close) the awning if it gets windy or begins to rain etc. Now i'm being told that I should never, never tie down the awning!!! I do not understand why I would have to worry about this. When the awning is as I have explained, to me it is in no danger of damage since, as I said, it has no sensor and is just like a manuel awning. Can someone out there explain to me the danger of tying it down. Again I say, I have been doing this time & time again, without any problems! Someone, please respond to this. thank you.6.4KViews0likes26Commentsfresh water tank sanitizing???
Hello; I have a 35 ft. Holiday Rambler class (A) motorhome RV. My wife & I purchased it new in 2006. I have NEVER sanitized the fresh water tank! I drain it along with the grey and black water tanks and flush fresh water into all three tanks upon returning from any camping outings we have been on! I am able to park right next to my home, and I use a Maserator for the black & grey tanks right into my home clean-out. While they are draining, I open the fresh water drain and let what-ever water is still in the tank to drain onto the grass. I would then refill the fresh water tank again, and then let it completely drain until empty, and that's all I've ever done! I am being told that I should sanitize the fresh water tank at least once every year. I don't ever do this! Can someone explain how this is really done, so I could do it.6.1KViews0likes29Comments
