Heat as opposed to moisture, can also cause headliner glue failure.

If you do not have a load tester, why not pull both batteries out of the coach, then using a good charger that will stop charging when the battery is fully charged, do this on the other battery, then let the battery rest for thirty minutes. Now take both batteries to a battery store that can load test each battery separately. They can tell you the condition of each battery. Be sure to take pictures of the wiring to the batteries before disconnecting them and also label each wire so that you can connect them back correctly. The OP stated that the batteries are three years old.

The topic is about charging Motor Home batteries, not charging a laptop personal computer.

If you removed the thermostat, the coolant system probably needs burping. If the outside temperature is pretty cold where you are located, you will need to make sure that there is no voids in the coolant system. That system depends on pressure to keep the fluid moving as well as the water pump. As mentioned before, use an infrared thermometer to see if the radiator is getting warm/hot, and check the temperature of the motor itself. If engine is not heating, you may have real problems. All as Bill has already pointed out.

Sixty six months, not very long at our age.😼

A little known fact about the covering in todays electric wiring dielectric's these days, a pretty high percentage of that plastic covering is soybean because of the green energy rules. That's why rodents love it. Not political, just fact.🙃 It's an upside down world. LOL

I thought this post was supposed to be about proper cleaning of hot water heaters!

Here is the latest list of triple tow states that I can find. https://www.gillettesinterstaterv.com/can-you-triple-tow-an-rv-legality-and-safety/ A nice rear receiver carrier on the back of the Jeep will do a nice job of carrying the grill, and would be legal in all states with the exception of maybe over length in some.

Correct!

This position is "supposed" to send AQ fluid through your engine to preheat the engine, if this one is engaged, and you are using AQ, then there is no need to turn on the block heater.

Do not turn on the heat until flushed. Will do the rest of your plumbing a favor to run a pint of the waterheater mixture through each faucet and shower head before draining the remainder through the drain plug. Then of course as Ross suggested.

Wayne, I hope not, I have already paid for my stay in May to StGeorge Island, luckily I know all the backroads. Ray, thank God for a miracle that spared your wife's life, and the road to recovery, and hopes for a recovery for your ailments as well.

Or at least borrow a good 12 volt fully charged and wire direct to the slide motor completely bypassing the house and or chassis batteries. There could possibly be a ground issue between the house system and the slide mechanism, the temporary battery test will also test the ground issue as well. A single bad cell in a battery system will pull away from the other cells within a system especially under heavy load.

This is a 50 amp shore power unit, 50 amp breaker in the middle, both AC's are working which indicates that the pedestal breaker is fine. The inverter and rear AC are both on the right side of the main 50 amp main breaker, everything on the left side of the main breaker is working, that only leaves the inverter outlets to provide power to the TV's and other outlets, so with reasonable deduction, I would bet on the inverter outlets being the culprit. The inverter circuit breaker does not appear to be tripped and op stated that he had toggled all visible breakers, which would have reset all of them. Which leaves only the inverter to be holding back electricity. Most likely the inverter is also a converter to keep the house batteries charged, which is probably happening as we speak, more indication that the inverter breaker within the main panel is ok. Bikeryder is very knowledgeable and great at letting us know what is the end result, so I wish him luck in resolving this issue.

Did you try resetting the circuit breakers on the inverter? Those outlets may be fused by the inverter.

The best tire covers that I have used, I made myself out of coroplast, that's the stuff that political signs ore made of, looks like like cardboard but is plastic. I cut mine square on three sides, then a radius at top to fit just inside the wheel wells. It comes in many sizes and colors, cut with scissors or utility knife. I made two hooks out of heavy gauge wire to place over each tire. I just lay them in a bay when not in use and they take up very little room. I used black to keep the ultraviolet rays off the sun. Anyone can make out of cardboard to see how easy they are to make.

Yes, there is either rollers, or ball bearings, and yes they could be worn out or out of track. I'm with others, I think there is an electrical problem, but not being able to hear what the mechanism sounds like limits our ability to diagnose. Is there a creaking or moaning sound when moving, or just smooth and stop? It could be as easy as a limit switch malfunctioning, but I would make sure the batteries are up to snuff, 12.2 volts is almost DEAD.

Thanks for the response. Being a gas class A, means that it has a motor at the front which helps rule out the long run of hoses from the rear which would be expected from a diesel pusher. So we can now expect that the hoses are shorter and less likely to be kinked and restricting the flow of coolant to the heater core. There should be two hoses going to the hearer core, feel of those hoses and expect at least one of those to be pretty warm once your temperature gauge is at operating range. If this test is good, then the next step is to check the door that allows heat from the heater core to enter the evaporator chamber and then pushed by fan into the cabin. The door is usually operated by a vacuum valve on a gas model the vintage of your coach, some are operated by an electric solenoid. If the door is not opened up you could be blowing cold air. Most vehicles of your coachs age have temp gauge, what does that gauge show?

Welcome to the forum. How long has it been blowing cold air? A little info about your RV will be helpful in getting better answers. Is it class A, B, or C? Is it gas or diesel? what brand is it? Has it ever since you owned it been able to heat?

I am considering adding Valentine Red heart shaped lace to mine, I kind of like the vintage look. But I'll need to confer with Captains Obvious to make sure that is OK!🤪

Richard, I sent a link to his exact tire size in Hankook! Some dealers are either too lazy to seek this out or just plain don't want to take time to look them up, or maybe I can't read 295-80-22.5 very well. Last time out to eye doctor they said that at 75 years old, i STILL HAVE 20/20.

How wide is that egress window? 16" to bottom of tv doesn't bother me as much as the width does. The window appears to be about 24" wide, if narrower than that, it would be a concern. Try to remember that in an emergency, feet first and on your tummy, by the time your tummy is even with the window opening, with your feet hanging down, your feet will be within 3 to 3.5 feet from the ground unless one of you are very short. A short piece of rope could easily secured and several knots tied a foot apart could be very helpful. You can leave the rope just inside the window permanently for just in case.
