    Atwood Hot Water Heater Drain Plug

    Thanks for all of the comments and suggestions. I spent the day looking for plugs and a tap. I couldn't find a tap (Lowes was sold out and by that time I had had enough frustration). Camping world only had the camco plugs. I went to ACE and found a nylon plug. I could not find a CPVC plug at...

    Atwood Hot Water Heater Drain Plug

    I know this topic has been brought up before and I have looked at the posts and tried the suggestions with not good results. I have a 2013 Winnebago Sunstar 35F with an Atwood Hot water Heater. I have not been able to get the drain plug to stop leaking. The leak is not a drip but a small stream...

    Slideout Lock Drain Line

    Thanks David, After reading the thread that John pointed me to I suspected this. Since I have no lock button to push and there was nothing in the book about it. I am still learning so when I find something that doesn't make sense I try to track it down. Thanks to both of you for the response.

    Slideout Lock Drain Line

    We have a 2013 Itasca Sunstar 35F. We bought it used about 1.5 years ago. I have been looking at the Coach Maintenance Chart and came across a line under Slideout & Leveling System that says Check and inspect electric slideout lock drain line(s). The slideout mechanisms are Lippert/schwintek. I...

    Newly bought RV for Fulltiming

    Lunar Firefly, I looked at the passenger's captains chair in our MH today. It has a pull-up lever on the side for swivel. The cable from the lever on the side goes to another, spring- loaded, lever underneath the seat. I could reach under the seat and pull that lever and swivel the chair. Not...

    Newly bought RV for Fulltiming

    Is there anyway you might be able to post some pictures of the chair and the controls? I think I misunderstood the type of chair before. Is this the passenger's captains chair? I hope to get to our MH in the next few days and I will look at how it operates. I know the swivel operates with a...

    Newly bought RV for Fulltiming

    As to the barrel chair: Without a picture I can't say for sure, but I am guessing that the cable attaches to a spring loaded pin in the pedestal and would normally pull the pin down to allow the chair to swivel. There probably is no way to pull the pin down without the cable being attached.

    Winnebago Sealants/Silicone

    FYI - I called Winnebago and was told the NuFlex sealants are the sealants they use.

    Sun Shields

    Dave, We just bought the SunGuard Shades. I did not want the internal ones even though they would be easier to install. I feel it is better to stop the sun before the glass. We are in Texas and it gets hot here. I looked at RVSunShades.com, but it looked liked they only install with snaps. They...

    Battery Power Questions

    Thanks everyone for the input. I did some research last night and have decided that I will do as John said and get a 3 stage charger. That will get me past the current problem of charging the batteries while in storage. I can disconnect the batteries and only have the charger connected as...

    Battery Power Questions

    Lou, Thanks. I thought that may be what was happening. A Traveler, After what I have been reading about the Schumacher, 1 stage, charger overcharging the batteries I did not want to leave the shore power plugged in for long periods of time. To be honest I hate to leave the MH plugged in without...

    Winnebago Sealants/Silicone

    Thanks John and afchap. I was concerned because while the website is winnebagoparts.com the receipt is Mobility R.V., Inc. I was afraid the sealants I was sent might have been a substitution for a real Winnebago part. I don't want any problems down the road. I used some of the 311 when I put on...

    Winnebago Sealants/Silicone

    I have been reading posts that talk about not using silicone for a sealant. Shortly after getting our MH I ordered the Winnebago Sealants from "winnebagoparts.com" using the part numbers from the Sealant callout sheet. Three of the 4 tubes I got say Silicone on them. The 4 tubes I got are...

    Battery Power Questions

    All, Thanks for the comments and help. I went to the MH today and the batteries had charged. The monitor ("Know all, See all" panel) says they are fully charged. I'm sure they need more, but after reading the comments on the 1 and 2 stage chargers over charging and causing out gassing I didn't...
