    Battery indicator question

    Read The step DOES connect to the chassis (battery) to sense engine start (and initiate retract). Might be some weird kind of thing loading the battery enough to make the light come on, you never know. Dave, do you have someone savvy with electrical systems and/or ability to disconnect step...

    Roof leak onto murphy bed area

    Based on your comment, I assume you have a Class-C unit. That front cap cantilevers in the wind when you drive, is not the best design for water integrity. Typically you will want to reseal the seams for the top of the front cap. Dicor on top, all the way across the roof line, and DOW (99) on...

    Roof leak onto murphy bed area

    Sounds typical of Camping World with their high turn-over rate of "technicians." If they don't have a rain booth to water test your unit, then I'd suggest a garden hose on the roof (and maybe two people) as a good way to track down the issue. Have you tried that?

    Propane quick connect

    There are kits you can buy to add a quick disconnect. Basically consist of a "T," a shut off valve, and the quick disconnect fittings. It installs into your existing gas manifold piping. The hose that plugs in (quick connect) typically has a gas regulator attached. Let me suggest you have one...

    2022 BT Cruiser 5255 Camera Issues

    Look under the dash, usually above gas pedal area. You probably have a little (silver color) metal box with the camera connections attached. This is the video switch control.

    Needing help deciding on a 96 Tour Master

    I look at what they are actually selling for (online). Here's a fairly good sight also: https://www.jdpower.com/rvs/1996/gulf-stream Keep in mind many camp sights will not allow anything older than 10 years into the campground, and many repair shops feel the same way.

    Suburban Heater Problem

    Your middle image shows a black square switch (with white sticker on it) that has a black and a red wire attached. Look at bottom side, you will see metal arm that goes into the air duct of the fan. There's an enlarged portion of the metal arm inside there called the "sail." If you push up on...

    Bedroom lights

    Do you have and can use a multi-meter or 12V test light? The lights are all 12VDC, you can start at the switch and find maybe a bad connection and/or bad switch (as THenne1713 said), blown fuse, etc. Am happy to help with more information.

    Electric Step not retracting fully

    I know we all have our opinions, sometimes it makes it unappealing to post here. BUT, as a Tech, I've seen this issue dozens and dozens of times. >IF< the motor runs, it is almost always a mechanical issue. There is an arm on the motor, with bushings that wear, necessitating replacement a low...

    Please help me find my Allison VIM

    Many times there are large fuses (the kind that are black square block with a red arm that pops out when tripped) mounted near the battery compartment on the frame. Have you tried physically tracing the renegade wire you "brushed to power" to see where it goes?

    Gulfstream Ultra Super C Tip outs

    Sounds like the dealership you went to does not have talent in their service department. Slide out controls are fairly simple to a good Tech. I've done this sort of repair myself many times, just takes a little patience and thought. I suggest you find a better Tech. Take a look at LCI1.com...

    Campground Wifi

    Winegard makes some very nice rooftop antennas that have WiFi booster/repeaters built in. A little pricey, but you replace your TV antenna with it and have decent WiFi reception.

    Suburban Heater Problem

    When the furnace gets told to turn on by the thermostat, the fan comes on (as yours does) then the "sail switch" has to be made by the fans airflow. If made, the gas will ignite, etc . . . If the sail switch does not activate, the furnace will shut off (as yours does). The sail switch is a...

    Electric Step not retracting fully

    Yes, I have seen this. Normally after running the step into something. You have to straighten the metal that is bent for it to work smoothly again.

    Hot water heater temperature

    There is a small round bi-metal switch on the front of the tank (under the black foam with two electrical terminals sticking out) This sets the water temp. May need replaced. As it is a 2023, make a warranty claim and let the Dealer fix it.

    Maybe the old ones can be separated off to run just the TV or something. When dead, time to stop watching . . .

    Dump Deep Cell and go to Lithium???

    It is best to only connect same age / size batteries together. Your bank will only perform as well as the worse ones. In this case your old 80Ah batteries will drag down your new ones, you will not see the 100Ah benefit. Best to just use your old ones for your boat trolling motor or a...

    Inverter

    Not a great idea. Old connected to new, they will only perform as well as the (worse) old ones. You're better off using just the new ones. If you must use the old ones, separate them with a DC-DC charger and use them on a separate circuit. Better yet, you have trolling motor batteries for...

    04' friendship G7 leveling issue - seals leaking.

    This is not an easy issue. If you have a hydraulic repair shop, old school type preferred, you might have a chance. Pull the cylinder, give it to them to fix. They can size things up with stuff they have. You can try it yourself, if you figure nothing to lose, and you'll buy a new cylinder if...

    Help newbie!

    If you want a positive (immediate) test for batteries, get a load tester. Inexpensive digital ones exist, and are easy to use. Main parameter to pay attention to for an indicator of battery health is CCA. Most batteries being used in RV's have this rating stamped on them. Some "true" deep...

    Inverter

    You'll get more opinions on this one then an old coon hound has fleas . . . Simply put, yes you can. The issue you will run into is the converter you have now may not be able to maintain a proper charge on them. You will need to ensure the converter (and solar charge controller) have...
