    Need help with video selector switch

    I have a Winegard VS 6412 video selector switch, located in the front cabinet on the passenger side.  The power feed to it is dead.  I have tried to trace the wire, but it goes places I can't.  My question is, can I get either a battery to supply the power, or a transformer or do I just have to...

    Need help with toilet adjustment

    Thanks for the suggestions guys, but still nada.  It has worked fine for years, and it is still functional, but I know there must be some adjustment or minor fix for the problem.  Again, thanks for the input.

    Need help with toilet adjustment

    Our toilet, Thetford Aquaflush, has the foot pedal flush lever.  As with most, you partially depress the lever to add water, then fully depress to flush.  Just recently, with any pressure applied to the lever, the flush "ball" starts to open, beginning the flush.  In other words, you cannot just...

    Sealing seams

    If this is a roof seam you are interested in sealing, I would also like to make a strong recommendation for Eternabond.  This is a super product and easy to work with.  If you want a seam sealed as well as it can be sealed, I think this stuff is hard to beat.  It comes in a roll of "tape".  I...

    Overnight stop along Florida interstate

    We will be making a trek to Disneyworld, heading east on I-10, with the intention of driving 4-7 hours the first day, which would put us somewhere between Pensacola and Tallahassee.  We would be arriving late, midnight or later, so we are just looking for a quick pullover to grab some shuteye...

    First Class A

    Earlier this year, we bought our second Class  A, a 32 footer, gas, with two opposing slides.  We absolutely love it.  Our traveling basically consist of long weekends at campgrounds once a month, and two extended trips a year, later this year is Disney  (we have two small ones).  Now, we went...

    Eternabond tape peeling

    Thanks for the input.  I kind of took advice from everyone.  As comer suggested, I contacted the company, and WOW, what a great company to deal with.  The rep I spoke with, Tom,  said he was going to send out some more tape to repair the area affected, along with a scrub pad, as visch1 had...

    Eternabond tape peeling

    In an effort at preventive maintenence, I placed Eternabond tape along the seams of both the front and end caps.  The roof is EPDM rubber roof, and the caps are fiberglass.  The tape was placed about two months ago, and now one side of the tape on the front end cap has peeled off.  It only...

    Roof buckling due to leak

    The thing about that wait and see mode is it sure creates paranoia.  Leaks drive me crazy because you really do not know if you have indeed fixed the problem.  The way I discovered mine was from a very small puddle of water in the MEDICINE CABINET, otherwise the leak would still be going on. ...

    Roof buckling due to leak

    I know I did not give full details on the roof, but to be honest, I really thought this would be a more common problem.  To me, it seems it would be a vulnerable spot for a leak to occur around a screw holding down the roof awning bracket due to the stess on the awning from  being pushed up and...

    Roof buckling due to leak

    Gary, you are right.  Calling it buckled is overstating the situation.  A soft spot that has a give to it is more adequate - you know how you panic when you find any kind of leak.  I was tempted, but just for a moment, to slit the rubber membrane to check the situation since I was going to be...

    Short Sale on an RV

    I purchased my MH on a short sale earlier this year.  The prior owner faxed them permission to discuss the account.  I admit I was nervous, but it worked out beautifully.  I was also told they would send the title to the prior owner, but they sent it to me.  We signed a bill of sale beforehand...

    Roof buckling due to leak

    I found a leak on my roof where the awning strip attaches.  I removed 6 screws at the end where the leak was, filled the holes with wood and glue, and rescrewed using larger diameter screws, and covered with lap sealant.  The screws appear to just screw into the thin wood sheathing, no joists. ...

    How to figure price for used motor home

    Okay, so from reading posts, it appears to me that with a new motorhome you should be looking to get a price 25% off MSRP.  How about a used motorhome, 2-3 years old.  Should you use a factor of depreciation for each year?  Should you just check a reference such as the blue book price?  What are...

    Recommendations for safest motorhomes

    Thanks to all who time to reply.  I appreciate all comments and suggestions.  We had a Class A before, and really enjoyed driving it.  I have not really looked hard at the C's, but may have to do so.  I just wanted to make sure there were no models to avoid due to poor safety or construction. ...
