Ha the shower was already overdue as air pollution laws are more strict in California Hopefully the water pump will keep working. I'm 100% DAV so I and DW have military identification with some benefits. I just started using famcamp about a year ago. They are hit and miss to get into as most don't take reservations. -

I got the porch light fixed, now the water pump is messing with me. It quit when I was soaped in the shower. While pulling the fuse it fixed itself. later it quit again and I check both switches connectors and found no problem got a new switch as it appears the basement one was bad any thought I broke it pulling terminals i got new switch and found fuse blown. replace fuse and all working again. I know it wants to go out again when dry camping and I'm in the shower Right now I will threaten it with a new switch -

Finally got the ladder out and fixed the porch light Wiggling did not fix it as it kept going back out I took the bulb out and rotated 180 degrees and now world perfect. Funny story about not using ladder, Herman. -

I don't believe that will be any other problem in this case as the fridge works great with the recall bypass. Good News, we made it to Travis AFB, CA with no problems except the led porch light bulb. I have to get the ladder and try wiggling the bulb. -

The fridge is working great, the recall box just doesn't like this NW damp weather. I could dry it out with a hair dryer, put it in a bowl of rice or hand it to an Asian to fix. Hey everybody all in the second sentence is a joke. We had the coach out a few times during the summer and early fall. It felt very powerful with the light load but DW fixed that by loading all the stuff from the house in it. So we will be lugging it again. -

Brett Looks like I have to get the recall box as for legal one is not going to be responsible for the other. I for one don't like to have a box in the circuit that has to be reset by magnet every time the weather change. I will see if I can get an ARC one shipped to an N.C. address we are visiting. Update: Looks like the controller will be shipped to NC so I can install it there. I'm not going to reinstall the recall box as they can be a pain in the butt even if it's working.. -

Seem to me it worked by turning the control board on and off that would seem to be "time out" then on again. I need to look at it further on their website. Update: I went to their website and it claims that the recall box must stay in place. That conflicts with their claim that it is safer. I try to call the local rv dealers and see if any have the recall box. -

Don't make sense to convert to a residential fridge as I don't know if this will be the last trip allow by DW. I don't know if the ARC safety control is more reliable than the factory recall box. I like the idea that it resets itself. I saw it at FMCA Western area at Indio, CA. Maybe better than nothing but we are leaving Thursday. -

I'm bringing this thread back to life as we are going on a 2 plus/minus months holiday vacation again. The start of the misadventure so far is our toad was rear ended on Thanksgiving day. So I had to get an estimate and put the bumper back together before leaving December 1st. Wouldn't you know it, as soon as I got it back together an insurance adjuster wants to look at it? We both went to the emergency room and had x-rays and cat scan. Me for middle back, DW neck. We are both alright but I was basically told I was getting old. Had the coach service at Valley Freightliner and passed all the checks with flying colors. Even had the air dryer filter changed and real happy there are no problems. WRONG I got a call from DW that the refrigerator won't turn on. Yep, you guessed it, the recalled box failed and won't reset I bypassed it and not going to hook that pain in the rear again. I'm running it on propane only as the electric elements are the problem blowing a hole in the cooling unit. Then it would switch to propane and catch fire if controls are on automatic. So much for a safety box when all needed is understanding why and not use the electric elements. The propane is cheaper to use now days anyway. Bad start, I don't know but at least I got a handle on it. Now to reinstall tire pressure monitor and FMCA goose egg. East coast or bust. -
Mail forwarding while out of town for 2 months.

Slideout: Outside Air Leaking In Around Refrigerator
huffypuff replied to Sheeterangel's topic in Slideouts
Do you have a residential refrigerator or an absorption unit? If it's an absorption unit don't block the outside vents. If residential refrigerator more or likely the outside vents should have been blocked off as it probably already vented front to rear and back. -

I hope it's not a used sock. -
I like to use the heat pump when on park power as long as I don't pay extra for it to save propane. The DW don't like the A/C or heat pump because it's loud.

The metal particles could be from a lift pump between fuel tank and filter. Not likely from injector pump or engine as that will be passed the filter.
