I posted this on RV.Net but thought that I would expand my audience. On my 2008 Horizon I have an Atwood 10 gal gas/elec water heater that no longer provides hot water. I flushed the tank and the water that came out was too hot to touch. Therefore, the water in the tank is hot but I am getting...

You just never know where that pesky receptacle is going to be found. I have a washer/dryer compartment in the left rear corner of my coach. I found the engine block heater receptacle behind that compartment. Go figure.

First off have you got a manual for you TV? If not you can go to the Jensen web site and down load one. I have the same outside radio/TV setup and both the radio and TV sound is routed through the speakers below the TV. I have not had to look for any way to set it up this way as it came properly...

I guess that I am surprised at all of the back and forth about all of the electrical what ifs before anyone even mentioned having the batteries checked. In all of this the easiest thing to have done was to take the batteries to a battery retailer and have them professionally charged and load...

Setting the A/C to Max does not make the fans run continually. When you set any vehicle A/C system to Max you do not get any outside air into the system. It just recirculates the inside air which is already cold.

Having done this job twice in my estimation there is no "easy" way. You just have to plan on spending the time and energy to do it correctly. The major problem with virtually every tool I have tried is getting something long enough to get to the problem and still have enough stiffness to do the...

Our 2008 Horizon has a rocker switch to activate the electric side of the hot water heater. Last year the bulb got hot, slightly distorted the rocker switch cover and then burned out. The switch still works. The light is supposed to illuminate when the switch is turned on. The problem with that...

The under sink filter that you showed is the same as I have on my coach. It is the 3M cartridge A. The only one that I see on the Dyer site is the A1 which is different. I get my A model from this site: http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/product.do?process=wishlist&part=113561 I...

We have a 2008 Horizon. I think that your screen door is similar to mine bu my screen pulls down from the top. In any case, this needed to be replaced when I purchased the coach new and they had to replace the entire door.

For what it is worth I found a solderless connector to use with LED strip lights. If you do not want to bother with soldering you might try this: http://www.flexfireleds.com/led-quick-connector-ultrabright-series-10mm-strip-to-power-solderless-connector/

As a double check why not call Freightliner about the drive shaft. It is after all, something they installed.

Thanks John. I plan on doing that. I thought that someone out there might have already done the pick and shovel work on what else might work.

I have a 08 Horizon 40TD that has the mechanical Winegard Entertainment Select unit. Has anyone changed this for an electronic unit. If so, what did you use and can it control video select from cable, antenna, DVD and satelitte to 2 or 3 TVs?

I do not think you will find any DOT-approved replacements. For the longest time DOT did not approve any non sealed beam headlight units. That is after the Europeans had used them for decades. When they did approved non-sealed beam units all of the auto companies moved away from 7" round units...

The salvage yard east of Carthage on I-44 sends a truck to Forest City on some schedule and brings back a large load of surplus material.
