Re: 3 year old Suburban 6 gal DSI Hot Water Heater problems
Thx for replys! Bled relief valve (always do that). Did not move any valves since do air blow out not antifreeze. Tried the reset buttons....nothing hppened. Outside shower had both valves open but no head on it ... and after shutting those off she fired up on both electric AND dsi! What does that do to lock down the HW heater??? Thx, FH336Views0likes0Comments3 year old Suburban 6 gal DSI Hot Water Heater problems
Camped this weekend, first after winter. Winterized by blowing out all lines, drained HW. Pressurized system and no leaks. Yeah!!! (Especially w temps into single digits for a week!) WH only gets lukewarm and DSI will not work. Shut everything off, checked all breakers, fuzes and gas line...everything is ok. Still only lukewarm and no DSI ignitian. Everything worked fine last fall. Any ideas? Thx, FH1.5KViews0likes6CommentsUnderbay Storage Slideout - need design
I have seen somewhere a design to add a sliding tray in an storage compartment somewhere. Adding under a 5th wheel - one side of the pass thru. Needs to be 1 & 1/4" to clear door bottom and probably about 20" wide. Just want to add a flat sheet of plywood w 1/4 round edging to hold several tubs on it. Will need to extend about 4 feet outside trailer. Tubs weigh about 30lbs each...holding 30 ft 50amp elec wire, plumbing hookups, other junk. If someone can point me in the right direction or give me any designs I would love it! Thanks, FH2.3KViews0likes8CommentsLED Awning light failed
Have a new to me 2018 Springer and the LED awning light has failed. Want to replace with a color-capable LED strip. Has anyone done this and can you recommend the strip? There is a channel mounted under awning on trailer for the strip to be in....not sure how or where to mount the controller/receiver. Thanks, FH990Views0likes1CommentWater Damage in floor
I have a Coachmen Chapparral 340QBS and we had a water leak down the grey/black water vent pipes. Leaked for a year before we caught it. Soft spot is in the hallway from main area to rear master bedroom, under commode and probably under shower (can't feel under shower). I know from many threads here that getting into a floor rebuild is an absolute nightmare so I am considering this (since leak is fixed): Ignore old floor and put either a 3/4 plywood or 1/2 steel "bridge" in hallway over the soft spot (cover with a rug) and make a base for the toilet out of same material. I know, I know...band aid fix and rot still there...I just don't want to get into a $5,000.00 repair on a trailer I may only keep another year or two. When I sell it I will show to prospective buyer and discount accordingly. What say everyone? Good idea or stupid as rocks? Thanks, FH483Views0likes1Comment
