Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Running Lights Not Working


I have a 2010 Coachman Freelander 23BB Class C (Ford E-450 2009 chassis). I had damaged the two lower rear running lights and thought it would be a simple repair. I cut out the damaged lights and wired in the replacements. Now none of my running lights and taillights are working. What did I do wrong? I downloaded the owners manual but could not find what fuse controls these lights. The headlights,turn signals and brake lights all work. The other running lights and taillights were working before I attempted to repair the two damaged lights. Any suggestions on repair will be appreciated. Thank you Frank

If you have a multimeter, test all 12v fuses for continuity. If you don't have one, pull each fuse 1 at a time to visually check it to see if it's good. Did you have parking lights on while doing the repair?

Thank you for your response. I do have a multimeter. Do I have to take each fuse out to test it? Do you think It would be 10,15, or larger size to check first? Could I have disrupted my ground  wire when I attempted repair? The running lights were off When I removed the damaged lights. Thank you

I was able to find the damaged fuse. One of the rear upper lights had some condensation. I resealed the area around that light and replaced the fuse and all is well. Thank you for your suggestions and help.
