Problem solved! Pulled roof vent and sure enough there was a metal strap there, but oddly it was not attached to the fridge!!! Commenced to pulling some more from inside and it broke loose. Must have been bound up or stuck with mung.. Anyway, got it removed, replaced the heater and now it's...

I am trying to remove my Norcold 682 fridge to replace the AC Heater element that went bad (no access with it installed). I have removed the 4 main bolts that appear to hold it in from the outside access, but something appears to still be holding the top of the unit in. I can pull the bottom...

ok thanks- I tarped it up to give me time to find the right stuff, so... 1've read Dicor no sag, GeCell, Sikaflex, etc. This is EPDM to aluminum joint. The RV store guy told me last month to use silicone on my roof, so not sure I trust their wisdom...

Hi Bill,   I have the same rig you do and shortly after i bought it I had a bunch of transmission ECM related codes and issues, including a spurrious high temp alarm. I ended up talking to the gentleman that owns transmission instruments and he felt strongly it was a fault in the ECM that he...

Had to repair a section of my roof this weekend and removed the gutter rail on one side to access the edge of the rubber. The rail had some type of caulk seal between it and the EPDM roof material , but I'm not sure what it was?? Someone said to use Dicor no-sag sealant, but the RV store isn't...

Problem Solved!!! Found the governor and tapped on it. No change... Disconnected the air line feeding the dryer and it was pulsing air pressure, so compressor/ governor appeared to be working. While playing with the dryer I noticed the black cartridge at the top was vibrating and turns out it...

thanks Chet. Being a novice here... Can you tell me where the governor is located and what it looks like?

Thanks John. No air leakage I can hear, but will need to look a little harder. I don't have air bags or air ride on my coach, so the air is used just for the brakes as far as I know. The PO replaced the air dryer assembly last year, but I'll start there. Someone mentioned something about a...

Went to check on the coach over the storage lot. Usually swing by every couple of weeks in the winter and start it up  and take it for a quick spin every month or so. It started right up, but I never got any air pressure showing on front or rear air tanks. I checked the drains were closed but...

Thanks for the responses.  It seems like it should work ok, but it's an expensive "mistake" to figure out you bought too much trailer...

Looking at picking up a used Toy Hauler and wanted to get some advice from those that have pulled them before... My last TT was an Outback 26kbrs at around 7k, so this will be a big step up in size and weight. I have a 2005 Dodge 2wd QC HO Diesel that weighs ~7500# loaded and with family...

Thanks for the suggestions. I think everyone has some valid points.I'll start with checking the actual loaded weights and adjusting tires to match, followed by a trip to the big rig shop to take a look at the front end and possibly alignment as well. It's a Spartan chassis and I don't have a...

Took a trip over the holidays and experienced some whit knuckle moments once we got on I-95. Have had the coach out on three trips before this one, but 1st time on major hwy. Before the trip I lowered the tire pressure to 95# (PO had them at 105- winebago manual says 90 at full GVW) and we...

Thanks guys.. You were spot on. I picked up a convertor and wired it up ahead of the 6 pin connector and everything seems to be working great. Thanks!

My coach has a 6-round trailer plug, and I am pulling an ACME tow dolly that has 4-flat wiring harness (surge brakes). I have a 6-round to 4 flat plug in adapter, but I am not getting an brake lights on the trailer. The coach has separate tail lights and brake lights if that matters. When I...
