This is from weatherspark.com "In Texas City, the summers are long, hot, and oppressive; the winters are short, cool, and windy; and it is wet and partly cloudy year round." However the graphs do not reflect that statement. That is a vast improvement over Bloomington IN. You have me thinking_.

Try disconnecting the chassis battery's for an hour or more then reattach. This should reset the computers, but any codes may also be erased, so write them down first.

I looked at the average winter weather in Fredericksburg TX and it isn't much different than SW. Indiana hill country, a bit windier, just as well stay home. I don't do military hospitals or clinics, nor do I do VA facilities (although registered). Between Medicare and TFL I don't have medical or hospital bills, and prescription drugs are $12 for 3 months supply for each script. Thanks for the thought anyway.

No MH to travel, still at body shop, since April__. The only reason we wintered in FL was to be near my cousin anyway. I think we've spent our last winter in FL., prices were already getting ridiculously high; $1,300/month + living expenses. Those affected business's will either have to recoup their losses or close the doors. We can stay near Harlingen TX for 1/3 the cost of FL and the beach is a day-trip away.

It's going to be a long trying recovery, I hope someone tells him the entire FMCA family is rooting for him.

Well leastways I got my full deposit back. I wouldn't go near Ft. Myers Beach for the next 2 years at least. My cousin has a permanent place there, she said there is nothing to do, see, or visit. No restaurants are open, no stores open, if you need groceries or anything you must drive outside the flooding zones Virtually all the RV parks that could open are full of temporary workers now, even if we could travel. To complicate the cleanup, Lee County FL has a mandatory recycling program, so everything must be sorted somewhere during the cleanup efforts. We did make plans to winter in Harlingen TX if we got our MH back in time, but Progressive Ins. is still dragging their feet about the supplement, saying they will not pay more than the original Progressive adjusters estimate, the arbitration process is ongoing.

Kinked or squashed duct hose?

No confusion there, the Federal Tire Placard show the air pressure required to support the RV when loaded to the GVWR. That is NOT the correct method for using a tire mfgrs. load/inflation chart. You will find the correct method of using load/inflation charts here:https://www.rvtiresafety.net/search/label/How to Calculate Cold Inflation Pressure Keep in mind, load/inflation charts show the minimum air pressure to support the corresponding load. This means the tire is running at 100% capacity, no reserve. For comparison, car tires usually run with approx. 30-35% reserve capacity.

Duplicate thread

This old FMCA thread fully explains which coolant the ISC engine calls for and how to clean, flush, and install new coolant.

Yep, replace the non-working air pressure sensor, the new one should have a wiring harness if there is a plug somewhere near the sensor. Owning and maintaining a MH is a "pay now, or pay later" issue.

Oh crap, now you tell me. My cousin just texted me from Hawaii, our winter RV park in FT. Myers Beach is washed away. we're stuck at home with 16° this morning because our MH has been at a body shop since April, and I've gotta be nice.

I haven't received anything like that whats up?

Right!

For now unplug the fridge from the receptacle. That will shut it off. I suspect your inverter is turned on, if so the inverter was powering the fridge. Turn off the inverter.

Congratulations to you both! I think you made a wise decision. If the floorplan is not to your desires now, it will never get better in the future.

I forgot; the 120V side has 2 120V heaters. if one has failed the unit will not cool properly. It's all explained in detail in the service manual.

There's the rub, "brand name". Similar to buying Michelin tire vs Hercules tires. For used units, visit different RVing websites for sale section. Whirlpool makes a small stacked washer/dryer with 120V dryer if you have the height capability.

It depends entirely upon what browser the programmer writes the software for.. For Instance, the DoD says they do not support FireFox web browser, yet when I use FF to access the website it works, just not as well as Chrome, for which, the software was written.

Hang in there Ross. Detached retina's are fixable. I had a severe blow to my head about 8 years ago. Next day saw my eye Dr. He immediately sent me to a specialist in Greenwood who used laser surgery to reattach both retinas. My eyesight is as good now as before that accident. Kinda freeked me out, he did the laser surgery while I was awake.

I'm happy for you Ross. We're still in limbo with repairing our MH after 7 months of it parked at the body shop. By the time we do get it back, we too may be unable to use our MH.

WELCOME TO THE FMCA DISCUSSION FORUMS! As soon as you provide the make/model/year of your RV we can proceed with diagnosing and finding a method or replacing your drain hose. Otherwise, we have no clue.

Both cooling modes require 12V to operate the controls, so that is not the problem. I would first determine if the outlet the fridge is plugged into indeed has 120V present. If that outlet test good for 120VAC, next in line is the control board. If you are not experienced working with 120VAC here is where I would stop. If you are handy working with 120V, follow the troubleshooting tree in the service manual. This might be useful: Norcold 12xx service manual

Armstrong tires were very popular years ago. Their slogan was "Armstrong tires grip the road". Today newer brands have the spotlight.
