RE: Military Campgrounds

Many retirees are abusing the 14-day rule and stay at some facilities for several months. They move from one site to another at some bases and the base commander allows it.

RE: Kwikee Step

The magnet needs to be adjusted to tell the step to retract.
As for the step retracting issue, I would check the connector for the control box and the two ground connections.

RE: 2005 Norcold refrigerator -- shore power not cooling

Since unit doesn't work on lp and marginal on electric, test the thermistor.

Potentially bad circuit board. I prefer Dinosaur Electronics replacements..

RE: Broken Leaf Spring

The springs should be marked. Markings should be on the right end of axles.
After identifying your axles get the exact replacement for all.
You could upgrade some if all other components are done.

RE: House Battery Disconnect Not Working

Diagram shows as a 40 amp which would be power to slide.
The battery disconnect provides power to all items in chassis control box.

RE: House Battery Disconnect Not Working

That means the switch or wiring is issue.
Remove the switch from the wall to gain access to terminals.
The both sets of end pins should have 12-volts DC. Switch should have opposite corners of switch jumper to reverse voltage polarity.
The center two pins should have 12-volts DC when switch is pushed.
see page five for basic wiring.manual

RE: House Battery Disconnect Not Working

You are having a helper push switch and hold for short time to get reading?
With meter across small terminals, you will get either positive 12- volt reading or negative reading.

RE: Battery Disconnect Solenoid Fuse

RV lite is a supplier of RV custom products part number RVCV1002. RVC- 1002Appears to be a magnetically held relay
Before throwing money at it, disconnect small wires from relay ant try it again. If fuse blows, then issue is switch or wiring.
Fuse doesn't blow it is in relay.

RE: House Battery Disconnect Not Working

See page 5 of Service manual
From page 5
There are two 5 Amp fuses for the system, mounted on each relay. Looking at the relay with cap at the top, the
fuse on the right feeds the LED indicator and if so equipped, the digital voltmeter. The fuse on the left feeds the
power to the switch that operates the solenoid.
Use a volt meter across the small terminals. The polarity to those terminals should reverse when switch is moved from one location to the opposite. Relay should have strong click when operated and working.
Use a medium size wire jumper between the large terminals. It should have small spark and system is working if 12-volt power comes on.

RE: Cody WY to Fishing Bridge RV Park - Route Challenges?

That is the best access! Biggest problem could be people!
Road is a good two lane. Very curvy inside the park dropping down to Yellowstone Lake.

RE: Wire gauge for Solera power awning?

I read the etrailer link as 12/2 brake cable.
description says 14/2
12/2 would have less voltage drop

Would you post the exact model number of the relay and not RV Elite number?
Also the schematic you found.

RE: Battery Disconnect Solenoid Fuse

did you pull the switch out of wall. It should have six terminals with a jumper diagonally across two corners.
Center two should have the 12-volts across them.

RE: Battery Disconnect Solenoid Fuse

Is there some numbers on the battery control center?
Tiogas in your years normally have a mechanically held relay, not magnetically or electrically held.
Many look like this.

RE: How long does a P32 radiator last?

Hoses including heater, belts are for sure.
Radiator is a difficult one. Rodding could be good, but a replacement with an all-aluminum direct replacement could be a better choice.
Radiator out would be good time to change water pump and thermostat.
