It could be that the pump is leaking back through the pump and into the fresh water tank. You can check that possibility by filling your fresh water tank until it overflows. Then use your water pump for a short period to drop the fresh water tank slightly so the overflow stops. Then turn the...

I haven't seen anyone address the issue of what happens should your tow bar fail, whether it is a structural problem with the tow bar or a problem of connection errors.  Should the towed break away completely from the rv, how is it to stop without a braking system.  In addition, should the...

I'm a TST person.  Started with the original 510 system in 2008.  About 6 months ago the display for the 510 system died and I purchased the 507 with color display with the non-flow through sensors.  I'm not really satisfied with the visibility of the color display and after discussions with TST...

I've used the Cole Hersee 24213.  It is a continuous duty 200 amp solenoid with silver alloy contacts.  It is an insulated coil and if you use this solenoid you will need to run a ground wire to one side of the coil leads.  They may have an equivalent grounded coil solenoid that would not...

Have you checked to see if the generator threw a code?  Get out your manual and see how to read error codes.

About 14-3/4" long X 8" wide  X 3-1/2 high.  Blue tooth connection.  HP 100 portable printer.  I think there is a newer version but used ones are available.  Pricey little devils but I've never had it fail to print after sitting idle for 2 months.  I don't print often but it does a good job...

I built a unit similar to the one in the link except I used a wider box and have two voltmeters on each line.  I do have a Progressive Industries HW-50 hard wired in my coach but it will not tell you if there is an open neutral.  The effect from an open neutral is usually a high voltage on one...

To the OP. I've been running VMSpc for about 9 years but have stayed with version 2.5.  I've tried the 4.x versions but they don't read most of my engine data.  My coach is a 2000 with a CAT C-10.  I believe I've seen that the versions above 3.x do not work properly with some older engines. Do...

Bet you have a fan controller that varies speed based on engine or sensor input.  My 2000 Country Coach with hydraulic fan has a controller with 3 sensors for input; charge air cooler temp, coolant temp, and OTR air conditioning.  Later models were controlled by the engine computer.

Similar problems with my flat screen replacement.  I use a small 2 channel sound bar from Best Buy.  It does have a built in amplifier. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-2-0-channel-soundbar-with-digital-amplifier-black/5225704.p?skuId=5225704 Not very big but does a good job for me.  I...

Had a friend with a 96 Vectra and leveling jack problems.  We fixed the problem by removing the panel and exercising the connectors.

I believe there is a foam gasket between the flange and roof of RV so you won't get the flange flat against the roof.  Every Fantastic vent fan I've seen installed, including both of mine, have liberal amounts of Dicor self leveling caulk all around the edges and over the top of the mounting...

If you were hooked up to shore power and you had the electric element for the water heater turned on then as the previous poster said, the propane has no need to light again as the electric element is keeping the water hot.  I suspect when you turned the propane on the first time the water was...

Check out RV Care-A-Vanners. http://www.habitat.org/rv/about_cav.aspx Volunteer for two weeks with Habitat for Humanity at various locations.  I've done 4 builds this year.  I usually build from May to September but there are builds all over the country throughout the year.
