Skylight leaking
(Preview)
Whatever was used to seal our skylight around the edge separated from the rubber roof. It looks rubbery but more like self-leveling sealant. I am going to pull the skylight up and clean up the surface and was thinking about re- attaching it with 100 % pure silicone to the roof, or is there something be...

Gray tank odor
(Preview)
I know this has been addressed before, but the search didn't really help for this situation. Symptoms - The smell is coming from the area above where the tanks are located -- not only from the bathroom - It seems to be the most pronounced when we open the windows, or put the fantastic fan on - The smell is re...

Dead Battery
(Preview)
I'm storing my fifth wheel right now and will be for the next few months. I forgot to turn off the main 12V switch so my 2 Trojan T-105 batteries are now totally dead. Is it bad for the batteries to remain dead for a few months in warm weather or should I charge them up and turn off the 12V switch leaving them ch...

Suburban brand water heater working sporadically on propane.

We have a 2008 5th wheel. About 3 weeks ago, the hot water heater showed a red reset light. I went outside, fiddled with everything I could fine, and all looked good. I don't have an electronic meter to measure current. After fiddling with it, nothing worked. 2 days later, I decided to turn the switch ins...

Where to find Propane?
(Preview)
Hello Do any of you have an older motorhome with the large built in Propane tank? We are having trouble finding anywhere that will fill it up around louisville KY. Many are saying because it is built in that they don't do it because of regulations. So if that is the case, we are wondering if it would be...

An older post about cleaning tri-fold shower doors has recently been revived, but I thought I would start a new thread offering the method I have devised for cleaning our tri-fold doors and tracks. It seems so many are fretting about this, but I don't find it a very difficult task at all. Warning: This...

12V circuit keeps popping fuse (20Amp)

Howdy y'all from Myrtle Beach. Here's the question. Recently we upgraded 85% of the lights in our rig from halogen to LED's. Before we did this we had the 10W G4 base halogen's in the3.5in sockets, without a problem. All of a sudden (I'd say after 2 weeks of having led's in), we kept popping one fuse. (...

Cheaper to Operate: RV Propane Vented Furnace or Electric fireplace

Thought this may be a good topic for this time of year. We are in a campground/resort in South Texas which has metered electric. The electric rate is $.14 per kwh. The temperature here is always above freezing so that doesn't come in to the equation. I have been trying to figure out which is cheaper to...

I switched the lever from the empty to the full, and turned on the flow on the full tank, the empty one is closed. But the little red collar still shows, with just a hint if green. The...

I'm not sure if this applies only to DRV models or if other brands have this bed as well....

Storing a fifth wheel, does it need to be level

We have purchased a Heartland Landmark 40' fifth wheel. We will not be using it this winter. We live in the Midwest so there could be snow. Should we leave it sit at an angle so the water can run off as the snow melts so it doesn't build up? Right now only the front jacks are down to create this angle, so we al...
