    DEF Head issues?

    I'm looking at a 2013 Tiffin with the Cummins ISB 6.7-liter Electronic Diesel, Turbocharged, Aftercooled Engine. This will be my first diesel, so naturally I'm a little bit concerned about the DEF head problems. Any comments on this combination? Is the DEF head an issue on it? Should I be overly...

    710 plug (oil filler cap)

    Just as an FYI, the OEM part number for an oil filler cap to fit a 2008 Adventurer 38J with the 8.1L gas engine on a W24 chassis is 12574265 , which will cross to a (NAPA) Balkamp 703-1380. We cold not find a listing for that specific application, but finally found this one which will fit.

    How to remove batten strips on 2008 Adventurer 38J

    The plastic batten strips that divide the ceiling into sections, I assume just clip into place. Has anyone ever removed any of them? I need to take one down to re-fasten the sagging ceiling panel. Thanks in advance for all help!

    Horizon 2007 Windshield Wipers

    Resurrecting an old thread, here. My 08 Adventurer 38J wipers work perfectly at a stop or slow speeds. When I drive over 50 MPH, or there is a headwind, the driver's side wiper will go completely off the glass, and stay there till I stop and push it back in place. They have a normal range of...

    Which camera to buy?

        OK, many thanks to all for your thoughts, opinions, and explanations.  I should have known that there are some photography experts on here, same as any other subject!  LOL!     I did pull the trigger on the refurb Canon PowerShot SX530 HS. Been playing with it for a few days. So far the...

    Body mask removal

        Ok............  Against my,(and everybody else I talked to,) better judgement, I decided to remove the clear body mask from the front of our 08 Winnie Adventurer 38j. It had a couple of visible impacts from road debris, and several places that the adhesive had mold, behind the film...

    Hints, Tricks and Gadgets/Tools --- small ones.

    Being a very energy conserving individual, (LAZY) I have started using a permanent marker to mark the size of the oil drain plug somewhere in the engine compartment, to eliminate two or three trips under the rig when I change the oil. I write it on one of the rubber flaps where it is obvious. I...

    Which camera to buy?

    Thanks for all the replies, especially allenb12. I looked at the Canon PowerShot refurb that you recommended and it looks very good for the $$.  My only concern is that it is an electrical zoom, which a couple of others do not recommend. But the reviews I have found are good, and I'm probably...

    Removal of Awning Control Box - Will Awning Open?

    The best source I have found for Winnie parts is Lichtsinn Motors.  If your awning has auto out and in, versus having to hold the button down, I believe the control box monitors the amperage draw of the motor, and shuts off at a predetermined amperage, thus not having to hold the button. I don't...

    Which camera to buy?

    We are going to scratch off one of the big items from our bucket list this fall, by attending the Albuquerque Balloon Festival.  That said, I want to buy a camera instead of trying to take amazing pictures with my cellphone.  My requirements are:   Digital   $200 range or less   must take...

    Shattered sliding glass

    I had a glass shop build me a replacement glass for one of the small sliders in our 08 Adventurer 38j. I was able to get the old slider out of the frame by reversing a bar clamp and SLOWLY spreading the interior edge of the frame enough to get it out. Once out, it was a matter of getting the...

    RV Replacement Mattress?

    We recently replaced the short queen Sleep Number mattress that came in our 08 Adventurer 38j, with a custom built short queen from Personal Comfort.  It is considerably more expensive than those you were mentioning, but I have absolutely no regrets, after sleeping on it every night for three...

    08 Adventurer 38J washer/dryer removal

    Searched the threads and didn't see anything similar to this, so thought I would share my experience with those who might find themselves in a similar situation. We were having trouble with the timer not advancing on our Splendide wd2100. Called Splendide tech line, they diagnosed it as a bad...
