Call or email Winnebago Owner Relations, they should have those drawings available.

That's exactly what the skylight looked like on our Horizon. Before we sold it I completely refurbished all sealant on the roof and sidewall to roof joint. Some of the Dicor was beginning to separate from the surface of parts in random areas so that was easy to remove. Some was still firmly...

Sounds like another RV repair hack job. I replaced one of the roof vents on our previous Horizon and it took quite a bit of time to clean the roof surface as prep for the new vent. Good prep is like 99% of the job. Butyl tape is a very good adhesive for your window frames, that is until you try...

Winnebago calls it the Battery Mode Switch. Before you start messing with the 12V system, please download and print your low voltage wiring diagrams. Here's a basic (simplified) diagram of our former Horizon (diesel pusher): [House battery bank] <> [disconnect solenoid] <> [battery mode...

There's rubber flaps (seals, gaskets, whatever term you prefer) that push against the four sides of the bedroom slide that should keep out any unwanted things.

That's highly unlikely, the lines and pump aren't close to the engine. Welcome to the forum. My 05' Horizon never had the bedroom slide creep out or in. My guess is the solenoid as well.

I love a happy ending, thanks for the report!

When you say the generator won't start - does it crank but not start or there's no reaction whatsoever from the generator starter?

3M 5200 sealant is the gold standard for marine applications and anything else that needs tenacious adhesive properties and is 100% waterproof. I always had a tube of it in ship's stores. The only negative is that it's not UV stable so its primary use is for bedding parts. 3M 4200 is UV stable...

Did you check the fluid level? When was it last serviced? Does it have Allison synthetic oil? Circa 2004/5 transmissions left the factory with regular dino fluid. I forgot if the transmission on our previous Horizon came with TransSynd oil or not. Here's a link to the troubleshooting manual.

Contact Winnebago Owner Relations, they should be able to email you the relevant wiring diagrams.

Have you looked at your wiring diagrams?

^^Yes^^ The shunt (for monitoring current) should be as close to the negative post (or parallel cabling) of the house battery bank as possible, ideally at the battery(ies). Shunts have to be connected to the charge controller or whatever device/part is used to monitor charge/discharge current.

Dear wife and I had a strong dislike for the Horizon's captain's and co-pilot seats, the design of the seat frame was uncomfortable for both of us and we were different body shapes (duh!) So we went to Bradd and Hall in Elkhart and picked out Flexsteel chairs in the fabric of our choosing. Six...

Well done Doc! Great description of your repair process.
