I always give 24 hours before judging temperature of refrigerator / freezer.

As promise, here are pictures of rebuilding the frame and mattress support. Captions will be under pictures The left baseboard has to be installed first. The left baseboard installed. It was taken off to gain access to motor when slide was in. I installed a clamp to wiring to keep them from the tracks and stops. The 120 line got pinched in the stop at least one time. Lucky the wiring wasn't damaged. This is the partition backside to show the frame. I'm using longer screws because the shorter ones pulled out on the right side. With the partition installed, it forms a box for a cover. Cover is installed Damage platform end Start of repair to platform by shooting #8 x 3/4 screws into the edge. Trim on end removed. Trim to be reinstalled after fastening loose plywood. I made a safety prop out of scrap trim even though the struts are strong enough to hold the 12 inch thick foam queen mattress up. Everything is back together except for a couple of touch up.

Looking for someone with a Roadmaster chassis around 2008
huffypuff replied to moorep01's topic in Type A motorhomes
I check mine as I have a 2006 with adjustable pedals and it has a metal dust cap in that spot. You can probable get similar at the hardware store. -
Mine is built different than yours with 3/4 boards and 1/4 luan plywood top and bottom and fake wood plastic trim on the edges. The plywood is held onto the boards with staples and the weak point is the middle feet area. That's probably from my fat butt from sitting on that area putting my slippers on. 😃 I going to take pictures of this part of the project today.

Yes I had many speed clips go bad on vehicles exposed to the weather rusting and stripping them out. I use a small pair of vice grips to get to hold when getting them out. Hopefully there is no weather under the bed. 😂
-
The bed platform part I'm talking about is made out of wood.
-
You have to make sure to match the size of the screw. I seen many try a #6 speed nut on a #8 screw. They are backup if the threads don't hold on the wood.
-
Was just screws but will go through with longer shoulder screws from the outside in and add speed nuts like these. https://www.amazon.com/Speed-Nuts/b?ie=UTF8&node=16410081

The divider inside had screws that pulled out and the platform that the mattress lays on is coming apart in the middle at the feet due to staples pulling. This will be fixed with longer screws and nuts. Also I will be hitting the edge trim with construction cement.

Got the new gearbox a couple of days ago and finally had enough time to install it. It works great but don't have the full weight on it yet. I found the bed frame and foundation to be a little flimsy and going to beef it up. I keep everybody posted.

Full timer - Sanitizing fresh water tank
huffypuff replied to francie1229's topic in Water and Holding Tanks
It's the wasted water not the drink. First year my coach had a freshwater drip. That led to a full investigation by campground officials Indio, CA. They were worrying about the evaporation rate of that drip. I told them that it's recycling into rain. They didn't like that comment. -
I follow the instructions in the owner's manual, DW don't. You supposed to work the slides with full suspension inflation with jacks up. Now you know why we have so much trouble with the slides.
-
That is a shame, we need to know who did this so no one here would go to them.

Warning light on 2008 Holiday Rambler Endeavor
huffypuff replied to moorep01's topic in Type A motorhomes
Can you give us a clue what the light looks like? -
The defected trailing arms are on the RR4R or R4R with the 4 bag suspension. see link below. https://sourcerv.com/RoadmasterR4R_FMC1109.pdf
-
Run, before it's too late. jk
-
It's will be what makes DW happy, I'm just the driver. 😅
-
There isn't any seals so it would leak out and make a mess under the bed.
-
I use the red stuff in my shop but I'm not going to take apart the new gearbox for it. It's great for wheel bearings and all greasable joints.
-
What shaft seals? They only have nylon bushings.
-
I stay there in the dead of winter, boy was it cold.
-
But the new one will have more space to place the coffee pot. She been wanting new floor plan doesn't include rearranging the furniture.
-
Everytime something breaks DW wants to sell and buy new. I keep telling her it's cheaper to fix it. Guess who going to win that argument.
-
I'm halfway there anyway. 🤣
-
I believe if it was oil filled it may last longer. No to repacking so often as to much trouble to R&R.
