I suspect this involves heat strips. There is an aftermarket electric furnace; Cheap Heat The installation manual contains more detailed information than the website.

I agree with the vacuum breaker theory. To test this, when you reassemble the toilet, leave the line to the vacuum breaker off of the breaker and put it in a 1G jug, then briefly push the pedal enough to determine if water flows. I realize you've had this unit apart many times, however if you don't already have one, here is the parts list.

Helps us out, is this a rooftop or basement Coleman-Mach? What is the year and model of your Tiffin? Without specifics, you will only receive general replies.

Don't forget the larger MH dealership in Knoxville.Lazydays, Buddy Gregg, and of course Camping World-who I think is the only Winnebago dealer.

Herman, I suspect somehow word-wrap is involved; which might be in the website design. Wonder if choosing bullet format would work? Just thinking out loud.

Carl, sneak up on the topper tightening, I had that water pooling problem with our last 5er. I had it tightened under warranty at the dealer. When I used the 5er again, the topper was so tight the top would not extend fully, had about a inch difference between top and bottom. That caused a return to the dealer. I suspect it was tightened when retracted and not tested. Some folks use an inflatable beach ball under the topper during rain/snow.

Welcome to the FMCA discussion forums! No-one here knows everything, however when we all get our heads together we usually determine the correct answer.

Calling tireman9_ your advice is welcome! I would try to negotiate a lower price and buy. Shoot the Toyo, Saillun, Hercules, and other lesser known brands are about $300 ea. now.

You would remember the number, i know I do, once! This old dog learned a new trick that day.

Until the problem is corrected, when it rains lower that slideout side of the coach a few degrees to prevent water intrusion.

Were this my MH, the first thing I would do is verify I am following the leveling and slideout procedures exactly as stated in the owners manual

What are the results of the load-testing on each battery?

This may explain more about load testing a battery. This test cannot be performed when the vehicle battery cables are attached.

Dawn can remove wax.

Yep, this online calculator is the best option for accurately and safely matching a tow vehicle and trailer.

I agree, road oil will not spray off.

I wish everyone health and happiness for the coming year!

I totally agree! Not to mention the effects of additional un-sprung weight.

I agree with Carl, 13.6VDC float is normal. Exide states my particular batteries should float charge at 13.8 VDC.

I have an electric "suitcase" washer from Home Depot, yes it came in a plastic suitcase, it is 1,200 psi, which is enough for me. It is very handy to carry/store in a bay. I took it along on our Alaska trip, by the time we returned to Sumas WA, nearly everyone in the caravan had borrowed it.

To me this, if accurate, indicates the batteries are not actually depleted/run down. Have you independently tested them by disconnecting each one and testing voltage level with a load tester? Have you measured for phantom amp draw? This would eliminate the batteries from the equation and narrow the possibilities to a faulty inverter/charger or the "device" Brett suggested; I would expect that "device" to be a BIRD unit+ solenoid in a high-end MH.

probably the most relevant acronym of all.

Probably the most important acronym of all.

I have experienced this situation with all three RV types. It's my considered opinion a well-matched 5th wheel trailer and 1T dually truck handles best in the situations you describe. One type MH not addressed is one with a tag-axle, I have not driven one yet, so that is unknown to me.
