Ian, I would start with getting an actual copy of the UK law/requirement and see what it says word for word and search of an exception, if there is none, I would look closely at what the requirements are. If you need a truely manual operated parking brake, you may have to figure out what...

We've done it for years....  Yes, the heat strip package warns about spiraling the heat tape around the hose, and also about covering it with insulation, but we haven't had any problems, and know lots of full-timers that must brave cold weather that do just that. That being said, warnings are...

Yeah, I am one of those with Surface problems, as the last owner of my coach left it on all the time. The trapped moisture somehow worked it's way under the clear coat in certain spots, and now the only repair is basically repainting the entire front end. My recommendation is to go with the...

Not sure, I checked the tube and it doesn't say either... It doesn't have the rubberness of Silicone, but does develop a much tougher skin than 5200 which seemed to always stay sorta gooey if I remember correctly.  Your right, 5200 is the only way to go below the water line, but be sure to...

the others all had good points, but having learned the hard way on many things, including this issue, I give you my KISS (Keep it Simple Stupid) check first... When we bought ours (used) we couldn't get the electric to work either...  And after checking everything from the resets to breakers to...

Mark, Mine has had the same seams since we have owned it...  It's an 01 we have had it since 06. They do seem to vary a bit with temperature, if it is colder out they are less pronounced, but even at their highest point I wouldn't consider them major. Almost every Winnie I have seen has been...

Last week on my roof inspection I found several spots had failed again...  Silicone, or the stuff Winnie uses, is NOT the answer, as I have had to replace it at minimum annually, but normally much sooner. I have been tossing around the idea of eternabond for some time, but really not sure that...

You Engine heater switch controls the engine block heater for starting in cold weather.  Your correct on your other assumptions.  When we bought our coach, we also had the Auto Winterize system, but the last owner gutted it because of a valve problem.  When I got it I removed all the...

Yes, the others are correct, it only should limit the inside fan and then the 2nd compressor if it gets that far. I do remember when I had to replace my circuit board on my A/C unit (about two years ago) there was a special note from RVP about how Winnie wires the EMS, which is apparently...

So far so good, haven't had a freeze up since the R&R, and I have been pushing it as hard as I can. I have been only using the 3M Filters.  I Like the black ones best but they are way too expensive, so normally settle on the Red ones, about 10 bucks a pop. I pull it out an vacuum it weekly...

AF, I think your correct in that the two compressors running would produce colder air.  I got this information right from RVP, and it is also in a PDF on their site under the FAQ's section.  I can say mine does run warmer with just one compressor, but I did not take a actual temp.  From there...

I don't have these type of awnings, but I believe it is an anti billow device.  Basically if the awning tube is rotated by the fabric blowing up when the slide is retracted the rubber end hits the bracket, and stops the awning from billowing in the wind.  I am not entirely sure how it works, or...

Oh before I forget I wanted to add something about Temp Differential. According to RVP and several A/C techs I talked to, the difference between the outlet closest to the unit and the intake air should be about 23 degrees measured with a temp prob (according to them the Non Contact thermometer...

I'd be up for that!  But he needs to come to Texas to get it!  :) John

I want to thank all of you for your help. Pulled it today.  RVP rocks, parts were here already yesterday.  My fans were fine, though I did change the bushings.  I was going to get them from Grainger, but couldn't get them, and decided to just use the OEM ones.  They were not that bad, slightly...
