Sorry Herman, my last answer was for Jimmy as I didn't have enough information to know the problem with his unit. He could have the dreaded ammonia leak as well. Sorry it happen to you at such a bad time as I know you have better things to do at the rally you're attending. You can get the new and old out the front door as I seen on one posting somewhere. Best to unhook the top arm stop on the door to swing open wide and tie to the front mirror arm. Move the front passenger seat out of the way with just four bolts and a electrical plug. Careful that seat is also heavy as I know when I replaced the carper with floor. Remove the inside handrail so you don't get a surprise scratch or two on it. You don't have to cut any of the lines on the cooling unit as that part can go out the door separate. You must take the doors out separate and then the fridge shell. The new fridge should come in with the doors and shelves removed. I hope it all goes well for you.

Yes the rotted floor is because one has to check the ice maker inlet water valve washer every year. It can drip without you knowing it and result in a wet floor under the refrigerator. Years of that can rot the floor out. I caught mine dripping twice as I fired up the fridge and water pump overnight and check in the morning. Needless to say I carry spare washers that fits that valve and other water hoses.

Is the unit working at all or not? The black box will only show a flashing or solid red light if it is tripped. If you have a flame burning you must have 12 volts. It could need burner service or maybe the insulation isn't wrapped tight enough from the recall. Hard to tell without looking at it. Oh if you are parked the coach must be level.

Thanks for the offer Herman but my Norcold is fine for now so no parts needed. There is some that may need something so had on to them if you can. Those doors are expensive to replace as I heard you can't even get the door seal for it. I see your Norcold made it to 13+ years so maybe I have 4 years to go if I'm lucky. Then I probable put the whole unit in as I don't expect the shell to last much longer that amount of time.

This thread hijacked or not really turn for the worst from reset the recall box to NoCold is a piece of junk. I know some of you are happy to junk your unit but I for one have no problems with mine other that the recall box tripping while being washed. If my Norcold did go out which is possible as it is going on ten years old in a home that suffers multitude earthquakes per year, I have to weight the pro and cons of going all electric. Absorption refrigeration is well suited for a RV environment. It's made to work on multiple power no matter you are rolling or not. It's best suited when dry camping as it uses very little battery power while using propane for the heat exchanger. The all electric household refrigerator must have 120 voltage to work. The first problem is not only retrofitting the new unit in the RV but to add batteries, inverter and auto start control for the generator. Since the household refrigerator is not design to rock and roll down the road there is a question how long the compressor will last. With the cost of the conversion I can get a new RV refrigerator without modifying the RV and can go with a different name brand if I want to. Bottom line is not scare anyone into replacement

What Jim said, you need a magnet to reset it. Not really getting wet I think soap fumes trips it. Does on mine every time it's washed even being careful not to spray vent so must be the soap.

Make sure the insulation is closed up with long wire ties where the dealer installed the sensor of the recall kit. The dealer left mine cracked open and that knocked down performance. I used the wire ties to close back up and now performance is great.

After the system comes on using joystick just go one click to the right for data and two clicks to the right for rear camera. Third click to the right scroll data through several pages. You can work the joystick back and forth these three clicks for what you want to see.

Got to love the heat of the exhaust filter. I would say send the exhaust straight out the side but you will be causing a problem to the vehicle next to you. I supposed a deflector or downward outward spout would help.

I agree with Rich as a defective expansion valve or orifice tube. That is located in the front where the evaporator inlet is. That is where the magic happens from high pressure liquid to low pressure gas. A little crud in the screen there acts as a plug to slow or stop the flow.

Sounds like water pump on a Cummins. Easy to change once you have access to it. Get two five gallon buckets and drain coolant. Remove rock shield guards and grates from underneath. Remove belt with breaker bar on tensioner. Remove three bolts holding water pump to block. Remove water pump with o-ring seal. Reverse procedure to install, now will be a good time to put in fresh antifreeze and replace belt.

Camping World is telling you a fib as they don't carry Michelin at all. They tried to sell me cheap Chinese tires also but I wasn't going to fall for it. I have Michelin in the same size your looking for but got them from a truck tire place. The Michelin cost more than the Goodyear but for me it was worth as I hated the Goodyear.

The receiver dryer should be on suction line after the evaporator and the filter should be pressure line before the expansion valve. You need to replace these as well as the expansion valve as there will be metal in the system after a compressor seize up. Then all of the lines and evaporator needs to be flushed before putting back together. What confuse me is what part of the compressor seized up? Was it the outer bearing or the internal that seized up? The repair is different on what part goes out but since you have a new compressor you need to do whats noted above or risk another compressor failure.

Yes Carl the western part of I-10 and 110 can get quite busy in CA.

I think these windows crank out on a hinge. If so they better not be open while driving.

George, this is what we do every year going south mid December and north mid March. We go south and stop for the night at 7 Feathers in OR I-5 exit 99 and watch the TV weather report in the morning. We then check this link with live cams so we know if it's clear. http://users.cot.net/~n6mrx/ares/Siskiyou%20County%20Cams1.htm If not we would stay another day. There was only one year that we had to stay a extra day in December 2012. On the way back we stop at a KOA in Sacramento and do the same thing on the way back. Never had to spend a extra day on the way back.

I have my coach coolant between the marks and have no problem. Once I filled to top line when warm and that went out the overflow next steep grade it climbed.

My tester detected a leaking ground at a resort that I was booked for two months. So the manager ask me why don't I try to plug in a see what happen. I told him only if he give a direct connection to his insurance adjuster otherwise no way I would risk it. He had it fixed in an hour while I ran the generator.

I would check for a panel that has most of your electronic switches and readouts. HVAC, water pump, slides switches are on mine along with tank levels and switches for 12 or 120 volt hot water. I leave them off until I need them and turn them both on at same time for quick hot water. Then I turn them back off when done.

Carl I guess it depends on manufacture and model if it comes with LED or not. My 06 HR has LED for clearance, side markers and high mounted brake light but not regular tail/signal lights or front turn. Looks like in the future there will be LED head lights if there isn't already.

When I had mark on floor from that section it was p-trap drain leaking that came loose from rubber elbow. After repair still can take awhile for it to stop making a mark. A rag tied to a stick to clean can help speed the process

Why not slip it through the bottom corner of the seal of one of your slides? That is what I do when I rent cable modem from Time Warner.

After you clean the floor then the next step is to clean the bottom of the slide when it is extended.

Neil I heard of the bucket set up but 200 of them. That's not just mice, it's an army.

Victor mouse traps and peanut butter using about a dozen of them up inside and down in basement. They can't resist them, but check often because they stink when dead.
