Re: furnace squealing
I am going to check it out better when I get there tonight but If I remember right I will not even be able to get to the motor with out removing the whole thing to try a couple drops of oil to get thru the weekend. The motor is in the very back of the furnace.512Views0likes0Commentsfurnace squealing
I have a older 2000 forest rivers cherokee 37k Camper and of course it is on my camp spot so I cant walk out to check it. But last weekend we went up and cleaned up for the season and fired up the furnace and it squealed really loud for about 1-2 minutes then quite and worked fine. We ended up shutting it off and turned it back on about 6 hours later and same thing. I assume I need to try to oil motor bearing or replace motor I was going to try to make sure I have everything I need to oil it this weekend to use it and try to get some motor numbers off it. Is there any clue what furnace I have with make and year to try to locate a manual. From the best I have looked around and the best I can remember two years ago when I had it out I am pretty sure it is a suburban furnace. I guess If I am pulling it I should replace both the height temperature limit switch and the sail switch along with blower motor.3.8KViews0likes12Commentsfurnace thermostat issue
I have a 2000 forest rivers camper that I bought this year. I had to do a bunch of misc things to it when I bought it which I was aware of but I still have one thing left furnace. Someone pulled the furnace out I am assuming to replace fridge which is above it and never replaced. I tested it at my house on 12v battery I hooked the red and yellow to battery and hooked both blue wires together for thermostat and blower motor kicked on. So I took it to camper last weekend while I was at campground and tried to hook it all up. When I hooked the wires up and flipped the switch on the wall thermostat from off down to heat the furnace did not kick on the a/c on did. I don't have any clue why every time I flip to furnace the a/c runs. I also need a new thermostat for the wall one of the switches is broke you have to use a key to flip it up or down. But I would like to just pick up a cheap digital one at homedepot but I am not sure about the switch for fan speed high or low. Or maybe I can get one of these if it will work for both. http://www.tomraper.com/parts_store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=240_874&products_id=150261.2KViews0likes5CommentsRe: awning support need help

I forgot about the bows them would work great also. I sure wish I could find some good info on them. I need to figure a way to mount them. I wonder if I could just use 1" pvc and bow it or would it bow down or sideways instead of up. I would love some good pictures of them mounts at both sides and info from anybody that has made them.727Views0likes0Commentsawning support need help
I have a 37' camper that has 21' A&E awning that I just replaced the canvas. And just two weeks ago we put it on a spot at a local campground. I noticed when I open the awning in the center of the canvas sags pretty bad that would not take much rain at all that would end in ugly result. I know lower one side but I have to have it way lower due to it sags so bad in the middle. I would like to buy one of them support poles that runs from roof to awning tube then down to the ground. But just don't have the extra 150.00 + right know to get one. So I am looking for a DIY project that will mount to camper and run out to the tube to keep canvas from sagging so bad.9.7KViews0likes15Commentsover towing length
I just got a 37' foot camper and decided I was going to measure it and figures over the indiana legal limit. I have a crew cab long bed. I am not finding anything showing that since I have class A cdl's does it make it legal. I am not worried about being almost 62 feet just would like to know.2.8KViews0likes10Comments
