    Onan Generator clicks but will not start

    I?m sure others will offer ideas, my thought is it?s perhaps the starter relay not passing the juice to the starter. Also I?m a stickler for all clean wire connections, everywhere. Perhaps you can bypass the relay and jump directly to the heavy cable on the starter? That might indicate where the...

    Grrr.. the mid-tower I built has sporadic shutdowns

    I?m having similar detractions with my 4 year old Gigabyte MB as well. It ran perfectly for several years, unless I did something to confuse it. Lately I?m wondering about the video board being flakey. I just hate to get another one and not have it be the problem. $$$ sure would be nice to rent...

    Remedy for 12V Ground Corrosion

    I use Corrosion Pro on all grounds, battery terminals, and moving small parts like the steps. Spray it under the rv for protecting ?whatever?. I used it front and back on my small boat trailers wheels for years in salt acid usage with no rusting. It forms what appears to be a waxy finish keeping...

    Water pump

    Thanks for explaining it. Would my home water pump 40 gallon holding tank with a pre charge of 10# air before the pump comes on to get it to 60# be considered an accumulator also?

    Water Heater Electric Switch

    On my unit, with 30 amp service, the heater is under the sink with a wall type switch on the cabinet. That?s for an either/or microwave OR water heater. There is also a switch near it that has a red button for the water heater. Both have to be on for electric hot water.

    NO 12 VOLT FUNCTIONS

    Thanks for the response. I was trying to save him $100 for gas but he wants to bring it to the dealer even if I said I'd help him. Now I have a better idea how it's supposed to function. I was concerned with 2 year batteries never having been charged? My meter said 12.7 without and with shore power.

    NO 12 VOLT FUNCTIONS

    A friend just has a NEW ?11 Winnie 26 foot A. When the generator or 120 v post cable is operating all 12V functions are fine within the coach. Once those are disconnected there is nothing that will operate with 12 V in the coach. I checked the battery voltage and it?s 12.7. Pressing the DC...

    Quit smoking

    I, like a lot of folks quit a hundred times, for a few hours. Fortunately I got what I needed one day and just lost the desire for another one. At the time I was smoking 3 packs a day. I?m sure a lot of hidden messages in the head was the big push. I heard so many people say it was the hardest...

    Lift ramps for Motorhome

    The one?s I put together are made of 2X 10. The bottom about 3 foot, the mid about 2 foot and the top 1 about  I foot long, all nailed together. Simple and works fine. I cut a 45 degree angle on each but don?t know if that?s of any benefit. A easy replacement hand drain plug was probably the...
