Thanks, will give that a try.

The dining area slide will not operate. The fuse is good. Rear slide works fine. Any ideas ? Thanks

Thank you. Guess we have been a bit remiss in tank care !  A little bleach should do the trick !

Our MH is almost 6 years old. We have done nothing other than fill and drain the fresh water tank, and replace the filter. Should we be adding anything to inhibit growth inside the tank ? Thanks,,,

I have a quote for $959 to replace the 225/75  16 tires (6) on our Minnie.  Anyone using Delta tires and does that seem a fair price ( in SOCAL )  ? Thanks......

Thanks to all for the replies.  Glad to know there are some good tire options ! Jack.

Our rig tires are six years old, they are Michelin 225/75 16 LTX M/S  tires. Any advice on replacement tires for our Class C in the Ventura, CA area would be appreciated !  Tire Rack has them for $196 but having trouble finding an installer. Anyone have good luck with other than Michelin tires ...

Thanks to all for you help with my Atwood water heater failing to light properly and stay lit. After all the checking and cleaning failed to help, I found a new circuit board,  "Ignition control service kit" on EBay for less than half what the local shops wanted. Installed it and now the heater...

Thanks...makes sense to replace that bit before the big bucks !  I'm away from home for a few days, but once back I will try that and post the results.  Thanks, again........

Well, now I have completely cleaned all connections, checked for any obstructions in the gas tube and am now running out of airspeed and ideas. When I switch the water heater on, I get a short bit of gas and ignitor , then off. This usually will happen three times with a few seconds between...

To be on the safe and $$ conservative side, I will do the good cleaning, and contact cleaner bit prior to making a purchase ! Thank you !

OK, thanks for your help. Next step new circuit board ! Jack.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the ignitor should only work until the gas is lit....mine seems to continue on. The sensor is controled by the circuit board, right ? 

Today I went out to bypass the fuseable link for troubleshooting.  Figured first I would just turn it on and make notes about the ignitor and time before cutting off. Darn thing worked perfectly ! Let it run for 20 minutes. However the ignitor was popping the entire time. Now I am really confused !

Tried cleaning everything. No help.  Here's a pic of my setup.  Someone suggested using a hair dryer on the circuit board, but that seems to be a sealed unit ?
