Thanks to everyone... I found the electric mirror problem was a "missing" fuse in the panel on the driver side of the engine compartment. It was marked for something different than mirrors and I only figured it out by dumb luck. Apparenly the previous owner needed a fuse for something else and...

I just bought a "new to me" RV and the tires were ten years old.  One blew out thru the sidewall in my driveway which led me to replace all six.  The spare is two years old.  I wish I had known more before I bought the RV.  Expensive lesson.

Thanks... that clears up that mystery.  There is a dish on the roof but I don't have any kind of tv hookup currently.  TV is the least of my concerns for now.  I sure would like to get the power mirrors working but they are seyt okay for me now anyway.  Remaining big problem is the front A/C...

My wife and I have talked about buying an RV for several years and have finally decided to do it.  We are retired, living in the Chicago area, and plan to use it mostly to get out of here in the winter.  We are considering putting it on a permanent type campsite for storage, which will allow us...
