As far as emergencies and power outages, for what it’s worth, these require no power at all for going down. And they have a hand pump, if a non wheelchair person is available you can raise the lift pretty easily. I just noticed how inexpensive these are, I actually have a plan to start...

This is slightly off topic but you guys popped into my mind when I came up with this idea. My granddaughter is in a wheelchair, instead of building her a ramp I’m considering installing a lift similar to this in a fixed location (a porch) instead of a vehicle...

Reading your post above, I did not realize that when the awning is fully retracted the spring tension is essentially zero. That's why when I tried to cut this groove in that latch lever, it just slid in, there's no tension on it. So I guess I don't have to worry about The tension. Will order...

Yes, it's retracted. The cylinder is locked and won't turn, can't extend at all. I was hoping to carve a groove in the cast aluminum that I could turn with a screwdriver but that didn't work.

Thanks for the PDF Gary, that is very helpful. Unfortunately, there is no stub to grab on this latch lever, it broke off flush. I tried to cut a groove with a diamond tipped Dremel tool, but the piece just slid inside further, slid Down inside the cap assembly.  So still not sure how I'm going...

I believe my Dometic awning is an 8300, or maybe that's the part number of the end cap, not sure. This is on a 1999 Itasca Suncruiser, but this is not the original awning. What happened is the lock lever is snapped off. I've also seen these called ratchet levers. This is the part you flip down...

I do not think this is the ground. I am getting continuity from the ground area of the bulb socket to the frame. I have checked both lights in the back and three of the bulbs on the side. (This is the kinda stuff I was expecting my "electrician" trailer guy to check, if he did that he never...

No, brake and turn signal lights are both on the regular 1157 bulb, I have never seen such a device on this camper. Thanks for the tip, though

This problem is still not fixed. I have a trip planned this week and one next week that are in jeopardy. I took it to a trailer shop. Have been told nobody knows lights like trailer guys, this particular guy is also an electrician. He had the camper for 3 weeks and was unable to diagnose the...

The front turn signals work the way they should. However the back turn signals, both of them flash whenever you turn on the right or the left turn signal. I have never heard of that before.

My generator is very similar to yours. I spent a year fooling around with it, it was the fuel pump all along. The key indicator to me is that it fails with heat and or high load. It started acting similar a couple weeks ago (4 years after original problem), I replaced that fuel pump asap and...

I finally got around to looking at the wiring in the back left of the camper where I had the damage.  The ground wires appear good to me, solidly attached to the light fixtures. Instead of a short easily traceable run to the frame (no frame several feet up the back of the camper) they go into...

Thanks, very good advice, hopefully will get time to work on it this weekend. Will let you know.

I think a bad ground (or grounds) is very possible. Yes, the brake lights work. By clearance lights you mean the lights on top in the rear of the RV? They are out also. I did not mention it but I had an incident with the left rear of the coach about a month ago, a stick flew up and knocked...

So I have this trifecta issue with my Ford chassis, 1999 Itasca suncruiser 37G.  Headlights work, taillights do not work. When I turn on the turn signal, both rear lights flashed simultaneously as if I have the emergency flashers on. I first noticed the dash lights not working, I thought that...
