Tcalzone, What do you think of your roof system now?

Thanks everyone. It turn out to be two bad spark plug wires on cylinders 7 and 8. I had all the wires replaced and new plugs since the tech was in the area. On a tangent, I was at the local workhorse chassis service center and they wanted $738 to replace the wires and plugs. Very lucky for me a brand new Camping World opened up in my area. $280 out the door and done the next day!!!! Now the steps will not work after I serviced the house batteries!!!! All the fuses are good but I did not check the switch yet. Any other suggestions? Thanks!!!!!! Ivy

Thanks everyone for all the help and suggestions. It turned out to be the water valve. Of course as I replaced it I shorted the power. Checked the two fuses on the control board and they we fine. Turned out it was fuse F19 in the engine compartment fuse panel that had blown. The ice maker is now making a lot of ice. Thanks, Ivy

Jim, Yes the brake recall and the Norcold recall have both been completed. I forgot to add to my previous post that I also had new tires installed at a great price thanks to our club!! Thanks again, Ivy

Thanks to everyone for all the help. I should have added that I had the workhorse service center here change and flush all the fluids and filters before I left for my trip. Injectors were ran through the B&G machine. Axles were services and flushed. Axle seals replaced. Water hoses replaced. Serpentine belt replaced.Over 4K in preventive maintenance before the trip. The gasoline was fresh with stabilizer added just in case. Was running like a top with no issues before the services! I did not flush the gas tank because it was driven across country ~3,000 miles before I purchased it in February. I did have all rubber lines replaced. Any suggestions?

HI, My rig has the workhorse chassis with the Chevy V8 with only 11k miles. On my first trip out it developed two issues that may or may not be related. It started on my trip from Memphis to Port St. Joe, Florida. About seven hours into the trip and several stops it was dinner time. I stopped at a Jack's burger joint. I was gone for about 15 minutes. When I restarted the rig it started fine but started chugging and died when I pressed the accelerator. I restarted the engine fine and it moved about 20 feet before it started chugging and dies again. Being somewhat stubborn, I restarted it for the third time and it started yet again fine. This time I got to the interstate acceleration on ramp, I reached the max speed of 37 before it started chugging and died. At this point I called for a tow. It took about an hour and twenty minutes for them to arrive. Since they had a medium wrecker not a large, I suggested to try starting it. It stared and ran fine, except for one some chug that it recovered from, for about a 12 mile trip back to the repair shop. They kept it over night and could not repeat the issue after about 22 miles of driving the next day. They did check the fuel pressure and said it was acceptable. My rig repeated the chugging and dying on more time on the trip to Florida. This time I just waited in a shady spot for 30 minutes and she restarted and ran fine. Now on the trip back I never shut her off but she started having problem climbing hill if you wanted her to keep the original speed. This was not happening on the trip down nor before the trip. She would start backfiring and trying to lose power if you would insist on keeping your speed. But if you would lower your speed by 5 MPH or so as you climbed a hill, she would handle that fine. Any suggestions? Thanks, Ivy

Thanks everyone. I have the 1200LRIM Norcold. I tested the icemaker and wiring harness and both tested fine. Does anyone know where the water inlet valve resides and how to access it? My fresh water drain valve decided it was time to fail while I was doing my testing. Of course without water I could not test the water inlet valve. It did make a buzzing sound instead of a click. I should have the fresh water drain valve fixed tomorrow and restart my testing quest! I found a really good testing manual for this icemaker but the site kicks me out every time I try to upload it. Maybe I will be able to upload after the site upgrade. Hey it let me attach the testing manual this time!!!!! ncoldicemaker.pdf

Any suggestions on mounting a new led TV in the hole up front left by the removal of the 27 inch tube TV on a 2003 35E bounder? The hole is 27 by 26 and is made out of 1/2 inch plywood. Anyone ever do a ceiling mount in a TPO roof? I placed a 32in led TV in the bedroom using a Mor/Ryde TV40001HS mount. Fits and works perfectly. I was thinking of using a wall mount on one of the 1/2 plywood sides of the cabinet box but I am not sure what the original cabinet box is attached to or how it is attached. However it did hold the million pound 27 inch tube TV without any issues.

Any suggestions on what to look for when the ice maker lets in only a little to no water? When I put water in the ice maker it freezes and cycles out the ice. Seems like only a little water, just enough to feel on your finger in the bottom, is being let into the ice maker.

My headlights on my 2003 Bounder 35E were from a 97-2001 Cadillac Deville!!!! Turns out the TYC aftermarkets were OEM!!!!!!!!!
