I did mine years ago. When you take down the old vinyl the foam stay up and it’s a messy job getting all that foam off the ceiling. https://www.rvforum.net/threads/headliner-project.108236/#post-974026 To this date the new ceiling is staying up and looking good.

I have a 2004 Itasca Horizon 40AD with a Freightliner chassis. I have a problem with the air bags not filling back up for travel mode after starting the engine and retracting the jacks (store mode). The air pressure on the gauges is fine. It's been doing this for a while now, I have to manually...

John, Yes, the 46515811 has the blower on the side. My old one was a 6535-671 if that helps anyone. Both the input air duct in the back and the blower exhaust on the side lined up perfectly. Outside box dimensions were exact as well. There was a minor change in the way the wires from the...

Just to put closure to this thread, I limped along with only compressor 1 working until it didn't anymore. Knowing this was getting far beyond my area of expertise or comfort and lack of finding anyone that would work on it, I just ordered a new Colman 46515811. Swapping was fairly as everything...

Just as a follow up to this tread, as most of you may have guessed the water heater quit not long after I posted. I replaced the relay and still no power to the heating element. Following the wires out, about half way up the water tank was a connection. There is a solid wire coming from the...

Ray - Ray I should be able to check the amperage next week, I don’t have a clamp on amp meter with me. John - Yes I replaced the 2 compressor run capacitors, the 2 start device capacitors (with the relays attached) and the run fan capacitor. There are 2 relays on the board that I wasn’t able...

Replaced all the capacitors today. Still popping the Circuit #2 breaker when the #2 compressor kicks in. At the campground I'm at I can't pull the AC out. We'll be staying with friends next week and I'll see if I can pull it then. I'm thinking I agree with John and assuming the breaker is OK as...

Our Basement AC is starting to pop the breaker for AC Circuit #2. First it start sporadically now it's pretty consistent, reset the breaker and you can hear the compressor kick in then it pops the breaker. I'm not an expert but I'm guessing I have one of 3 problems going on: Bad capacitor bad...

Oldweb - Thanks. I assume the relay is located in the plastic cover that covers the heating element. I bundled it up as I didn’t think I was gonna get this finished up today. Reset the connections on the circuit board and for whatever reason it’s now seems to be working. I don’t know if...

I have checked the breakers. Thanks

My hot water heater quit working on electric, since it works fine on gas I assumed the thermostat was OK and ordered a new heating element. Pulled the old one out this AM and replaced it Ohm'd out fine and the new one didn't work. Further investigation led to no AC power at the heating element...

Thanks John. The Dumb Thermostat works great.

Thanks John. Yes I'm using the Ecobee and used your write up to do the install. I'm going to try the dumb thermostat option. I'm guessing I can wire it parallel with the Ecobee and just turn off the ecobee when we are in that situation?

We have the basement AC/Heat Pump and I’m currently have the Ecobee Si thermostat. I’ve had this setup for some time now without issue. This week we are in central Texas with a big cold from coming through with a high of 32 degrees. The problem is every time the thermostat calls for heat the...

I got the water heater replaced this weekend. Yes there was a small leak where the upper fitting was welded to the tank. Looks like the weld was weak. No real issues except it's a really tight fit, at least in my case, to get the new unit back in. Before removing anything I took two 6" needle...
