RE: Water Heater Plug What make of water heater do you have, Suburban (uses anode 1 1/16 socket) or Atwood (no anode, nylon plug)?	enblethen	11/17/08 06:55am	Fifth-Wheels
RE: No 12 volts lights Check your battery disconnect. Make sure it is turned on. Cycle it, that is turn it off then back on. Listen for relay to energize.	enblethen	11/16/08 08:47pm	Tech Issues
RE: fluorescent light - Odd issue with all of them Are they Thin Lite brand? They have had problems with ballasts. I would call your coach maunfactuer not dealer and see if they will authorize a local mobile tech to replace fixture s or troubleshoot. It could be a problem in the wiring. It may be a broken or loose ground placing the fixture ballasts in series. This would be hard and time comsuming to track down. I am not sure if you would want to try it or not as you said the rig is under warranty. It would entail disconnecting each fixture and testing each ground back to the DC distribution panel. You may open the DC distribution panel and check for loose connections. It could be there.	enblethen	11/16/08 07:45pm	Tech Issues
RE: Electrical service for large class A...220 or 110? Never use the word "never"! You may get a new rig later with a 240 washer/dryer, big 240 heat pump or a big battery charger for your electric powered MH. I would run a new 120/240 four wire fifty ampere circuit.	enblethen	11/16/08 07:39pm	Class A Motorhomes
RE: Relocate junction box? Move it!	enblethen	11/16/08 06:57pm	Class C Motorhomes
RE: Electrical service for large class A...220 or 110? Toolman: You are incorrect. Thirty ampere shore power is 120 three wire. Fifty ampere is 120/240 four wire. Bulldogs1: You are endangering over loading your neutral by parallel same phase of 120 volt to rig.	enblethen	11/16/08 06:56pm	Class A Motorhomes
RE: Problem Covers My ADCO Aqua Shed did wonders on saving exterior of my coach. Covers must be sized correctly and put on right. Protect sharp corners. I have Max covers over vents that aid in cover working. My problem arose when it got hit by a large limb. Nothing could have stopped damage. Cover did reduce interior damage. That cover lasted for nearly 7 years.	enblethen	11/16/08 06:50pm	General RVing Issues
RE: fluorescent light - Odd issue with all of them Get a set of new tubes and try in one fixture. If it cools down move to another. Tubes start breaking down and need more power to keep operating.	enblethen	11/16/08 06:46pm	Tech Issues
RE: Relocate junction box? Is this mounted to the floor of the living area or in a compartment? The 4 square box in a compartment can be moved with out any problem. A box on the inside needs to have pre-cautions on relocating. Protection of wiring. Can't believe it was mounted on floor to start with.	enblethen	11/16/08 06:42pm	Class C Motorhomes
RE: Electrical service for large class A...220 or 110? A larger rig with a fifty ampere shore power requires a 120/240 four wire system. Most rigs do not have any 240 volt appliances or equipment.	enblethen	11/16/08 06:38pm	Class A Motorhomes
RE: Check Engine Light came on "Limp mode" is a default program that allows the vehicle to "limp" to a repair shop.	enblethen	11/16/08 06:31pm	Tech Issues
RE: Side light not working after water pump re-wire Did you get a ground? If you have a pump control module, then the light is trying to work through it. Most pump control module uses the ground as control for the pump on indicator. It can't be used as ground for anything else.	enblethen	11/16/08 06:24pm	Travel Trailers
RE: Finding RV Parks while on the Road I have the Trailer Life directory paper copy, however my good navigator(Granddaughter) uses the Trailer Life Directory software with our GPS on laptop. Another is Laptop running Microsoft streets and trips with GPS. S&T uses the Woodall's locations.	enblethen	11/16/08 03:35pm	Technology Corner
RE: Replacement House Battery Either a group 24 or group 27 RV/marine battery.	enblethen	11/16/08 03:32pm	Class B - Camping Van Conversions
RE: Check Engine Light came on It could have gone into "limp" mode when you felt that. need to get code read as soon as you can.	enblethen	11/16/08 03:31pm	Tech Issues
RE: Check Engine Light came on Schucks in your area should have code reader to check for error codes.	enblethen	11/16/08 02:42pm	Tech Issues
RE: Side light not working after water pump re-wire TankerDude's post link says your ground is black on a two wire black and white system? Ground in that application is normally the white. What did they do to correct the wiring problem with the pump?	enblethen	11/16/08 02:40pm	Travel Trailers
RE: Side light not working after water pump re-wire Do you have an volt-ohm meter? How is light controlled? Switch inside or out? Power to switch? Power leaving switch? Check to see if it is the ground or hot leg that is bad by using ohm meter.	enblethen	11/16/08 01:48pm	Travel Trailers
RE: Roof marker lights not working? Look for another marker light outage. Side markers or second element in the turn signal housing. Have you checked for power in socket? What about ground?	enblethen	11/16/08 11:40am	Tow Vehicles
RE: Most oppressive RV laws...which state? Some states place a camping surcharge on out of state campers. Memory is bad, but I believe Wisconsin, Michigan and New York that I went through this past summer had them.	enblethen	11/16/08 11:13am	General RVing Issues
