    I have what appears to be charcoal residue coming through the kitchen faucet.  It does it both when using city water or tank water.  I have drained and flushed both the fresh tank and water heater.

     I have replaced the in line filter that I use on all incoming water.

     Not sure what to try next.  

    Has anyone out there experienced a similar problem?

    The bed moves in and out on the slide and the carpet is under it as well. This may be a dumb question and I should have asked it earlier but do you let the floor float or glue it down or does it matter in a MH?

    Thanks again for the great info. You are one of the most helpful people I have dealt with. I look forward to meeting you. I saw somewhere in one forum that you are heading to WI in Aug. Will you be at the FMCA rally? We will be there and at a prerally ealier in Jul.

    Thanks again,

    Mike

    Thanks for the quick response. Just a couple of more questions if you don't mind.

    Any trick to getting the old carpet out that is under the slide?

    Do the slides need to be adjusted or raised to do this?

    Can I run the flooring all the way to the firewall in front?

    How about the bedroom slide? On this coach the bed and closet are on the slide.

    I appreciate the info as I have not tackled this before.

    I have an 02 Winnebago Adventurer and want to replace all the flooring with vinyl, probably wood floor look. The slides ride in on the carpet so I am concerned about how to get the new flooring under the slides both in the LR and BR. I would also like to run the new floor up front to the firewall. Any input on this would be appreciated. I am a fairly accomplished DIYer but am not sure about working around the slides.

    Thanks

    I have a 2002 Winnebago that is in need of new flooring. I have been looking at materials and installations and have seen most installations with scratches caused by slides going in and out. Since we are full timers on the road, our slides get used a lot so this would be an issue. One of the materials I hve looked at is a wood look product from Nafco. Would laying a peice of plastic or flooring material on the slide path when operating them be a practical solution?

    Thanks for the input. I think the dish may be warped and that is probably the best place to start. I am working with a repair tech and he is ordering a new reflector. It looks like repairing these systems is a matter of replacing components one at a time until it is working again. The display just shows searching so it is not seeing anything. There is no overall way to diagnose just where the problem is. It does not appear that we damaged the cable or LNB' so hopefully the reflector will do it.

    Thanks again for your response.

    My awning recently blew over the top of our coach and dented the dish. Now the dish just turns and searches but never locks on to a satellite. The damage appeared to not be significant. could it be enough to cause this? Or is there something else to look for.

    Winegard did not seem to have any technical info to share.

    Does anyone know of a way to test this?

    Thanks.

    Brett,

    Thanks for the quick response. I have not had to add water yet as the level has not gone down at all. The dash voltage meter shows about 14v. When shut down the voltage on the house meter as well as a multi meter is 12.7. I did not think of the catalytic converter but will have it checked as well. My gut feeling is that it is overcharging somewhat. Possible alternator problem? It only seems to happen when driving so I don't think it is a converter issue.

    Thanks again,

    Mike

    I have a related and interesting twist on this issue. We have a 2002 Winnebago Adventurer, Gas, Workhorse chassis. After numerous issues with house batteries going down rapidly, I replaced the sealed (2) 12v batteries with 2 deep cycle 6 volts.

    Since then, sometimes after about 2 hours of driving I get the rotten egg smell. voltages, temp, etc all seem to be normal and everything seems to be working fine. Any thoughts or ideas, anyone? Thanks, Mike.
