Re: Advice for a trip up the west coast
Did the PCH 2 years ago from LA to Oregon with our 37-0 motorhome and toad. Some of the switchbacks will make you real nervous. If you cut a little to tight the overhanging rocks will redesign your MH. The trip although beautiful wore my ass out. Get ready for some real expensive camp sites and fuel.285Views0likes0CommentsRe: Mold in shower
Sometimes clear silicone caulking is used in shower enclosures. Mold can form under the caulking and show thru the clear as if it were on top of the silicone. Bleach has no effect in this case and you must pull out the old caulking, treat the mold and re-caulk.469Views0likes0CommentsRe: Toilet Overflow

In 96 I'm not sure if the tank flushers were standard like they are on some RV's now, but one could have been added. Are you sure that your hose is connected to the city water inlet and not to a black tank flush. If the black tank flush is left on too long and the black tank handle closed the black tank is filling up. It's a common practice when someone wants to get the tank really clean, but it can backfire if they forget and overfill the tank and then the mess happens just like you describe. You may have still had water pressure at the sinks if you had water in your fresh tank and were running the RV's water pump. No black tank flush on this model. I'm pretty sure now that it was a 10 lb in a 5 lb sack issue.:S593Views0likes0CommentsRe: Toilet Overflow

Sink faucet would have to be running/dripping and/or toilet water valve would have to be running/dripping to cause well pump to cycle on The more I replay this nightmare in my head I think you may be correct. The bathtub did not fill with any water which is usually the first indication of a full grey water tank. The grey dump valve left open and the well pump cycling might just be coincidences that I thought were related to the problem. Of course the black tank monitor doesn't work either. I think I can pin it down tomorrow.301Views0likes0Comments
