I remember back in the 70's I was in the Everglades and it was pouring down rain. Since we had been on the road for some 2 months the coach was pretty dirty. I put on my bathing suit and got out the bucket and filled it with water and soap and washed the coach and let the rain rinse it. It came out spot free! My young kids were embaressed.

Could be the thermostat on the tank. See if you have 120v to the heat element.

It could be the relay (solenoid) having a bad contactor from wiring the battery backwards.

CRC Battery cleaner #06023 and Battery terminal protector #06046 Should be available at major autoparts stores.

A common place on the rear would be to mount it to the ladder.

I would use butyl tape as a caulk between the skylight and the roof and then seal it with Dicor lap seal. This is very flexible and is easier to remove if required in the future.

My shop has been doing this sort of thing for over 30 years.

Is there any mfgr name or number on the base? Check rv parts catalogs.

There are 3 options to this situation. Check it yourself, have some one else check it, or let it fail and then replace the whole thing. The option is up to the individual.

Thats why I do all my own wiring, then I know its done right.

I would go with a major brand such as Sony, JVC, Alpine, Pioneer, Kenwood, etc. There are many models with different features to choose from.

If the circuit is completed to ground you may have a short to ground. Test the leads on the switch. Disconnect the wires and if one of them is hot with the key on and the other is not and the light is on then its not the switch. If the both disconnected wires are grounded then you have a short to ground.

The reason you do not want to leave the black tank valve open is that the liquid drains out and leaves the solids to pile up. You will have to then fill with water and let it soak for a while to soften it before you can do a complete dump.

The switch on mine is on the yellow valve release.

This type of thing is common in the industry. Going back a lot of years I had a 1980 Sportscoach which was built on a Dodge M600 chassis. Dodge quit building that chassis in 1978 and called it a 1979 model. Since the chassis is the foundation of the motorhome it would be nice to know what you are getting.

When my cooler hose clamp broke, I couldn't run above an idle.

Some years ago I had the factory in Elkhart replace a cooling unit under warranty. It failed so they did it again, It also failed and I lost my cool. After 3 failed units and 2 weeks in Elkhart I had a discussion with the company and talked them into installing a complete new unit on their dime. What really upset me is as the new one was being installed one of the workers told me that they never had sucess in replacing a cooling unit and this is the factory talking. It was a RM100. To this day I don't recommend a cooling unit be replaced. In our shop we refused to do replacements and just sell new units. Much more satisfied customers.

I have always maintained that "toys" should be purchased with cash. All my boats and motorhomes in the last 38 years have been bought with cash. Sometimes I had to wait until I had enough money.

I have an automatic watering system with a gravity feed tank. Works perfect and is very simple to use. Just keep the bottle full of distilled water.

I talked with an Allison tech at one of the FMCA conventions and he told me to disconnect the cooler return line at the transmission and put it in a bucket and then overfill the fluid 4-6 quarts. Start the engine and when 4-6 quarts of fluid go into the bucket shut the engine off. What has happened is the fluid from torque converter and the cooler has been replaced with new fluid and not diluted the new fluid with some old fluid. He told me that they do this at the factory. Then its good to go for 300,000 miles without a second change at 25,000 miles.

I think I would go for a test drive in one thats already been converted to see if it really makes enough difference and is worth the money.

You can check the flame temperature with a infrared thermometer.

That should work just fine. There are battery mats also available.

You might consider just using a standalone cooler with a fan and not run it through the radiator.
