    Tank Valve

    Oops a daisy.  I was flushing the black water tank, closed the valve, ran a few gallons to flush, went to open it back up and the valve handle/stem came out completely.  I can put it back in, but it isnt in place right and doesnt open or close now.  It is mostly closed, but I didnt finish...

    Plumbing 98 Chieftan

    My shower is leaking heavily.  The hot and cold knobs seem ok, but the middle knob to seitch from faucet to the shower head has a small stream coming out at all times.  Took it off and the stem is plastic unlike the metal hot and old stems. Went to home depot and Lowes and cant find a similar...

    Water connection

    On my water connection, the spinner is missing to tighten the hose.  I put a pressure regulator on backwards and it worked for a month with only a steady drip.  It is now spewing.  Went to home depot and cant find anything that works, tried a 1 inch pvc union connector but it needs to be smaller...

    Air Filters

    I recently got a 98 Winnebago Chieftan and need to get some filters for the 2 roof AC's.  The manual mentions nothing about them.  I assume they are fairly uniform for the AC manufacturer which I am also not sure of.  It appears to be a 19 inch x 19 inch square.  Is there a place that has this...

    Help removing TV

    Im trying to remove the old tube TV from a 98 Winnebago Chieftan.  I have looked at other threads on this but havent found a cabinet like mine.  I have hard plastic instead of wood around the cabinet and have taken the bolts off from the adjacent VCR cabinet.  I dont have the typical slide out...

    No hot water

    Took it to a guy, there was something plugging the one way valve.  Didnt get a real good explanation.  Got a few things fixed.  Im impressed with the telepathic fixes from this place.  I have a few challenges that may be a better test coming up. Thanks for the responses. :}

    No hot water

    Last night, I go to bed with everything working.  I wake up and no hot water.  Sinks and shower flow normally on cold, not a drop on hot.  I searched and found one thread but it was due to sediment buildup or something.  Unlikely I had buildup in all these places at once. Help!  I may want to...

    Batteries

    I am going to move into it in 2 months, so it is sitting in the driveway connected to nothing.  It has a solar panel, but I think that goes to the engine battery.  The steps come out when I open the door, so I assume thats connected to the engine battery also.  Ive looked through the manual, but...

    Batteries

    In my recently purchased coach, the owner told me all it needed was new coach batteries.  I replaced them and the gen, slide, ... worked fine.  Now a week later, they are dead again.  Am I leaving something on, or could something be draining them Im not aware of? Should they be disconnected...

    98 winnebago Chieftan

    Fortunately, I was in a semi-paranio0d state being my first drive...at night...in drizzle.  LOL, I was doing maybe 30mph.  I will definitely downshift next time and try for 35. I couldnt get the slide out just now.  Checking manual.  I have a slide button on the dash, but not sure of the other...

    98 winnebago Chieftan

    I got it! Drove back in the dark and drizzle from Houston and it was an experience.  The braking thing was just the Allison Transmission downshifting kinda hard.  I was nervous, but after getting out of downtown it was really fun. I found the worst thing is going down a steep slope.  The weight...
