I am in the middle of helping my retiring parents purchase a motorhome. They have been studying and looking for a while now and have decided on the Winnebago Express 39N. Earlier this week they found out that the Express is being discontinued and are now a little leery not wanting a discontinued...

So I am setting up the motor home, start the water heater and the water pump and I notice the pump did not shut off as normal, then I hear running water. Walk around the motorhome and the water is being pumped out the city water hose bib or high pressure inlet (what ever it is called). Any idea...

So the family went out on a great long weekend a while ago. It was cold at night so we used the furnace each night. The last night the furnace quit, kind of expectantly because we used so much propane through out the week. We get home and I don't get to fill the propane back up until we go back...

I have a 1987 Tioga. Everything is running strong except for the generator. It is an Onan Emerald I GenSet. It will start strong and sound fine but will run only for a minuet or so then just quit. It is progressively getting worse. It used to start and then die when a load was persent (like the...

Thanks. That is what I was looking for. Do you remember how clean you got the surface prior to the application of Cool Seal?

I have some water leaks that I am trying to fix. I really don't want to put a lot into fixing this problem because the original investment into this motorhome was not much. Does anyone know a cheap way to fix multiple roof leaks? I was thinking of some sort of roofing tar, something just to goop...

Thanks for all the imput. Helps a lot. All the leaks seem to be leaking through all 4 the dome lights so I can't really say where they are coming from. But I do think the leaks are coming from around the AC, Vents and the seam where the cab over is (class C). I do have a metal roof so it looks...

I purchased a 1988 26 ft Tioga last spring for $2000. Everything works great, gen., fridge, A/C...Never had a motorhome before, but couldn't pass up the price. We only use the rig a few times a last year and the family loved it. For what it is it has worked out great. On our last outing last...

If you had/wanted to replace the flooring in your MH, what would you do? Carpet, Pergo ... any thing else? It there usually a wood sub floor or is it metal? Thanks again. You guys rock!

Thanks! This all is helping a lot. I am going to get the battery tested to see how bad it really is and then look into adding another one. Not much room under the hood. Maybe a couple of gel batteries inside somewhere...

Thanks for all the good info guys. I hope I didn't hose the battery to bad. I am pretty sure that the battery is a deep cycle. I had Blane Jensen RV and Camperworld put it in when they worked on the generater. I didn't think that I needed to charge that often because there isn't really...

Just spent 5 days and 4 nights in our new(old) MH. Everything was great except for the power. After 2 days and one night there wasn't even enough power to turn over the generater. I ended up jumping the coach battery with the truck battery (not sure if that is bad but we were in a pinch) and...

Thanks for that quick reply. Bleach is currently in and sanitizing.

I didn't put in the antifreeze. Any special place I should pour the bleach?

YOU GUYS ROCK! Thanks for the help. I shall now have a warm shower after a long day of trail riding. So...is this bacteria bad....other than the smell. Its not going to make me loose my hair or anything...I don't have much left!
