I am thinking if using it collapsed would be stronger. So you used 1 of the new 150# lifts on one side, & left the original on the other? I am thinking of trying a pair of 100#.

I need to replace my air intake hose as well, that looks like it will hold up. Did you use the whole piece, or cut it down?

Anyone replace the gas shock lift cylinders on a 2000 Dynasty 38 foot? Mine have gotten weak, & don't hold hatch up very well. There are no visible markings to be seen. I took some measurements, 26 & 1/4" extended, (center of ball to center of ball), with unit removed. 9 & 3/4 travel. The balls they go on are 10MM. The unknown item is the weight they support. They must be pretty strong, because with 1 removed, it takes a lot to pick up the hatch. Thank You Dave P

I need to replace mine on a 2000 Dynasty. Extended length is 26, travel is 9.5. I just don't know weight, no markings. Thanks for suggestions...

The Pex lines are not mounted to the wall, They come up thru the floor next to the drain line, then up to the washer. This is how it was plumbed from the factory, I just added the valves to allow them to be turned off conveniently. The Pex lines have slack to allow movement.

This is the fix I came up with. I now have valves to quickly turn off water if needed. new one on left, compared to original on right. https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZU5FPp5Vm79u2CeN6

I think I have a solution. https://www.lowes.com/pd/SharkBite-Brass-1-2-in-PEX-Barb-x-3-4-in-Hose-Thread-Quarter-Turn-Washing-Machine-Valve/1000183021 https://www.lowes.com/pd/B-K-3-4-in-Threaded-Female-Hose-x-Female-Hose-Adapter-Fitting/1000504839 This also adds the ability to turn them off if needed. Thanks for all the input.

I just looked at it again, this one is 1/2 Pex to 1/2 pipe thread. I need 1/2 Pex to 3/4 garden hose thread. I will go to Lowes in the morning & have a look. I do have Pex tools, been using Pex for years.

I had to pull my Splendide washer out to make a repair. ready to put it back in, but want to replace the rubber gaskets on the water lines where they connect to the machine, They are not the regular flat hose washers. There are Pex lines run right to the machine, with a 90 degree Pex to garden hose end. The rubber gaskets are kind of cone shaped. I have tried Google & Amazon so far. https://photos.app.goo.gl/ki38GNC9YXxmJUto9

I use a Roadmaster Brake Master. https://www.roadmasterinc.com/products/braking/brakemaster/brake_m.php It is real simple, easy to put in/ out. Put clamp on brake pedal, pin under edge of seat, & plug in air line under dash. Another air line from coach to toad, & done. I like it...

I just got 1 digest, & a notification of a new post to this thread. As it should be, looks good. Thank You...

The group was on Yahoo when I first joined, & I had a hard time communicating on it. I learned of the gathering, but could not get enough info to pursue it. They moved here, & got needed info, & we attended the gathering this year. We really enjoyed it! Thanks Scotty & all admins!

Sounds like you have a plan. I like the daily, weekly would be too much at once. Every day when the new on comes, I delete the previous one. Thanks for your work on this.

Just wanted to let you know I have received many this morning, but they are newer topics. The last few days, they were all the same. I do enjoy the daily.

I am getting the same digest, I think daily, several times an hour. They are all the same, the first 2 are about kitchen sink faucet won't stay on. Thanks for working on this.

We are here, checked in yesterday. Site 233.

We are traveling down from Glen Burnie, MD. We have overnight reservations at Colleton state park for Friday 7 feb. https://southcarolinaparks.com/colleton Plan to arrive at Lazydays Saturday the 8th.

I need a bottom guide for the bedroom closet bifold door. It was missing when I got the coach. Both closets have the same setup, so I have a pic of what I need. I did call REV, but they said they could not help. https://photos.app.goo.gl/WGNV6dSuNCXGGeNQ6 This is a pic of it with the metal it goes into, but I have the metal part. https://photos.app.goo.gl/wupMuB5PRTbA9Q8Q7 2000 Dynasty

No sweat, I sometimes read something a couple times before I "get it". That is why I want to test it, with very cold temps outside, & somewhat limited air circulation behind, will it stay warm enough back there .

I think you missed part of my post, with the coach heat on, I will turn on the fridge, & see if it will hold ice.

What does the temperature get down to in the winter where you are at? With the coach sitting outside with no heat on, I suspect the blocking of the vents would not keep the freezer going in the cold weather, with temps in the 20's here outside Baltimore, MD. I am going to put the heat on (low) for a coupe days after I close off the vents, turn on the fridge, & see if freezer will hold ice.

I went out to the coach today & had a look underneath the fridge. It is sitting on it's rollers the same as if it was sitting on the floor in a house. More than an inch off the floor, so I think plenty air flow underneath to the back. Probably a good 5" of space in back, & about 2" at the front of the top. I believe this will provide enough ventilation, so I am going to close off the top & rear vents with some foam insulation. Thanks for the input, will update after some testing, may not be until the trip to the gathering. P.S. I test fitted the Fridge Fixer I just got, it looks like just the ticket. iIt will have it's first road test on the way south in a couple weeks!

Bill, I did put a piece of 3/4 plywood on top of the frame, & the fridge sits on that, same as sitting on the floor. I left the rear & top vents open due to the tight fit.

I installed a Haier HRQ16N3BGS 4 door french door fridge last summer, & it has been great until we did a trip to Pigeon Forge, TN in November. https://photos.app.goo.gl/YuF4Wzmx1Xp2xtJx9 The fridge just fit width of opening exactly, we had to remove the cabinet below to gain enough height. Built a platform lower than the cabinet it replaced, luckily our furnace is on the other side under the sink. https://photos.app.goo.gl/apWZvjqgU3LTp49t7 The first night we stayed in Luray, VA. to tour the caverns. Temp overnight went to 23 degrees. When we got up the next morning, we discovered the ice in the bin had partially melted, as had the ice cream. The fridge still was cold, no problem there. 2nd night we arrived in Pigeon Forge. Low temp high 20's. Got to remembering something about newer fridge's not working in cold environments. When I did the install, due to the tight fit, I left the roof vent & back vents open to the outside for ventilation. The 2nd night of the trip, I closed off the inside of the rear vent with duct tape, & put a light bulb behind the fridge. The freezer was fine the rest of the stay. By the 4th day, temps were in the 50's, so I took out the bulb. After that trip, I shut down the fridge for the winter. Thinking ahead to the trip next month to the Gathering, I am thinking of cutting a piece of 2" foam to put in the top vent under the cover. Also covering the lower vent (on outside panel) with some of the foil covered insulation. May test this solution this week. If this proves successful, just need to figure if it needs to come out in warmer weather. I am thinking at some point, for cold operation, I may need to establish air circulation to the back from inside. There is already just under 2" at the top, I would just need to vent the bottom.

Dave & Gloria are going! Just got off the phone, we plan to arrive Saturday 8 February.
