Manually inflating rear airbag on a 1995 Gulfstream Sunsport
I can't get the electronic controls up front to work, so I'm trying to figure out if there is a manual way to get the fill valves to open on the airbags so I can raise up the rear for towing. I've located the box that contains what is most likely a solenoid for each back and it has a lever sticking out of it. However, I can't budge the lever by hand. Does anyone have any documentation on how you can do this process manually, if at all?293Views0likes0Comments
Newbie power question
Help, please. My first time plugging the RV into the house plug ( using extension cord and dogbone) everything was great. Work just fine all weekend. Now...... everything is fine until the AC kicks for extra power, then it trips the breaker. It still works fine when we go camping (dont know if that's matters) but the Ac is no longer friends with the home outlet. Please help me get them friendly again. P.S. I am an absolute newbie with "powered" camper. I oncw had a pop-up with no electric, lol.Solved597Views0likes4Comments
automatic leveling on a 2021 Artic Fox Grande Ronde
The automatic leveling warning on the display on the above mentioned 5th Wheel won't quit beeping. It keeps telling me "Error - LF Jack" We don't see anything wrong with the left jack! The system tells us to "manually retract all jacks or hold retract button to Auto retract. Tried that with no results. We bought this 5th wheel from Camping World in Ft. Worth, TX. It was barely used;; however, there was no manual. That drives me crazy and I can't get any information without taking it in and paying someone to look at it. Anyone out there know what I'm talking about !351Views0likes2Comments
Low point drain trouble
I have a 1997 Fleetwood wilderness travel trailer and my low point drain in the back has obviously been redone by the prior owner. Recently, one of the tubes started pouring water out of it. It's been dripping for a while now but just started pouring water today. There is not a cap on it. I'm wondering if I should cap it out look for a busted water pipe. I have bypassed the hot water heater and the water pump since we are always on city water. I'm scared if I cap it will the water start leaking inside the trailer? And yes that is a bolt in one of the tubes. I didn't put it there but I'm gonna replace it with a valve.374Views0likes3CommentsAnother solar question.
MPPT Solar Mate Charge controller 100V - 40A I noted on the front of the controller that there was a Bluetooth symbol. Hmmm, must be an app for this thing. Of course, the user manual shows it in a photo of the controller face cover, but no mention of it anywhere. A google search took me the the RV manufactures web site where there was a QR code to scan. I scanned it at it took me to the the app store that had the app. Free, so downloaded it. Hope the photo of the app screen comes through. I have a pretty decent handle on what all the data means. Just wonder if someone can tell me what “Soft PowerOn is? It was on when I brought it up for the first time. Not even considering turning it off till I understand what it does / is for. ThanksSolved611Views0likes1CommentCan the padded header over interior door be removed?
I have a Jayco Jayfeather and I need to remove the padded header above the door in the interior (so I can put a bracket to reinforcemy door opener). I removed the three screws that I thought were holding it on, but I've been pulling and pushing, but it won't budge! Is there any way to remove this without damaging it?319Views0likes1Comment
Partial power on 12V
2008 Okanagan 811SL truck camper, partial power on 12V Shore power works fine only for 110 circuits. Slide and water pump work on 12V, with or without shore power connected. Shutoff switch works properly, all 12V disconnects in the Off position. Batteries are charged, properly configured and connected. All 12V fuses, and AC breakers [ohm'ed] good in fuse panel and on power converter. Problem exists whether 7-blade connector is connected to truck [2007.5 Dodge Ram 3500 6.7] or not. New power converter installed, all 12V circuits functioned properly upon initialization and subsequently for several days prior to the new problem. All fuses on the converter [ohm'ed] good. This leads me to believe there's a power junction box between the fuse panel and the batteries, from which the slide and water pump draw their power leaving the balance of the 12V circuits on the fuse panel. I've not been able to locate such a box. Anyone who has seen or experienced this, please provide insights and/or a solution. Thanks in advance!443Views0likes3CommentsSolar advice requested.
I am pretty good with electrical issues, but this solar stuff is new to me. New travel trailer Solex4 - 400 watt panel system TBB power - Mppt solar mate charge controller 100V-40A Inside the compartment where the controller and breakers are mounted, are a bundle of wires with cut off ends. Just cut flush with no wire nuts or anything else. Two 4 or 6 gage wires in Red and Black and one 10 or maybe 12 ga wire in white all bundled together with a tape tag reading "Solar". Then 2 more wires (6 ga?) one white and one black tagged Battery. Checked for power at each wire and find nothing. Using the "SWAG" method (scientific wild as* guess), I figure it's wiring for additional solar panels if you want to install them later, or am I way off track here?1.2KViews0likes12CommentsGirard Tankless Water Heater III - Error E7
Hey folks. TLDR: Getting an E7 error code on our tankless water heater, except sometimes it's an E1 code and sometimes it's an E2 code. What's the problem and how do we fix it? We've been using our water heater with no problem as full-timers for almost 4 years. Finally, we moved out of the trailer and winterized it for the first time. We used an air compressor to blow it out as recommended and left for a few months. Now we're back in the trailer for a month and suddenly, for the first time, it's not working. We got the water hooked up and ran everything through the lines but when we switched on the water heater, it threw us E7. We tried turning it off and back on again, cleared the propane lines by running the stove and the furnace, and everything else is working great. The water heater kept throwing E7, except a few times that it would start working and get hot, and then suddenly throw an E7 again. Sometimes it throws an E1 or E2 instead of an E7, but it seems random. We've been testing it periodically by turning on the hot water and getting these different codes every time. Obviously, something is going on with the propane connection or flow that is preventing or stalling ignition, but since the error codes are vague, I don't know how to fix it, aside from ordering a new part (some kind of valve?) and taking it all apart, which I really don't want to do. Has anyone else had a similar problem? Any troubleshooting or fix suggestions? Thanks in advance.2.1KViews2likes2CommentsSlide out bound up
Please help!!! We moved our 1997 Fleetwood wilderness after starting in one place for 6 months. She gave us a little trouble bringing in the slide. We had to use a jack under the slide to wiggle her in. When we got to our new spot we tried to extend the slide and the bottom didn't move. We checked underneath and found nothing out of order. Then we noticed the floor if the slide on the inside. The corners are extended upwards and the middle is flush with the floor. We think the slide jumped off the tracks due to the new gap on the side. Can anyone please guide me on what to do next? we are still fairly new at living in our trailer. We're remodeling and living in it at the same time so please excuse the mess.437Views1like2Comments
