    Electric brake instalation

    Hey Gary,         I figured it out tonight, I had the red wire in the wrong side of the plug. Chevy has several different set ups on the connector so they leave the red wire off until you install the plug and you have to put it in the slot to fit your truck. I was putting it in for a different...

    Electric brake instalation

    I had already tried putting the 40 amp fuse in under the hood but that didn't seem to help either. The controller is a brake force and I think I might be taking it back ,I don't like the fact the light will be staying on all the time. The one in my other truck only comes on when the trailer is...

    Water heater mysteriously shuts itself off.

    Hey Gary, went out and turned the water back on and hit the switch for gas and it has never gone off yet. The water is now starting to weep again so I will be shutting it down again. I'm thinking it might be the thermostat because it seems to be getting too hot causing it to weep water. What do...

    Water heater mysteriously shuts itself off.

    Hi guys how are things going? I just returned from a 3 day trip to the lake and I too am having this same problem with my hot water heater. I have the dual gas and electric heater and it seems the thermostat is not shutting off and causes my lock out light to come on. Turn it off a few sec. and...

    Cabinet reface?

    Well this seems to flow right down my alley, I am a custom cabinet maker by trade. I do this everyday at the shop when we have a "PICKY" customer. The only way to darken the color of your doors and drawer fronts is to add a dye stain to the finish you are applying. Wash the wood down first...

    How do you get those black streaks off?

    The best thing I have found to use is Mean Green. You can find this at any Dollar General store and is 5 bucks a gallon.I just spray it on and rub it down with my rv brush and then rinse off. This stuff works great for cleaning the rubber roof as well.

    1984 20 RB Mallard fuse box location

    I would look under the master bed frame. You are going to have some type of fuss panel and breaker panel in the trailer. All 12volts circuits are protected by a fuss and the A/C and inside and outside receptacles are protected by a breaker. In your power converter box is there not any 12 volt...

    Not going out again until Thanksgiving - Winterize in the meantime?

    What I am doing is , I have a very small electric heater and have turned it down to 50 just to knock out the real cold so things won't freeze inside. I made sure the holding tanks was empty though. Opened the bathroom door and sink door, opened the sink door in the kitchen too. I live in...

    Well Gary I have an update for you,  you was right, new springs and all is well now. I ordered them yesterday and they got here today so I spent the last 2 hrs replacing them.

    A&E Sunchaser awning agjustment

    Well I went out tonight a unwound the 4 turns I put on the springs ( started with just 2 still would not roll all the way out) and now it rolls out just fine. But trying to get it to roll back up is all I can do to start it. Do you really think it is a broke spring? I am trying to do this by...
