Thanks for the quick response.  Will look at ReadyBrute!

I have had the Ready Brute Elite for a little over a year now and am happy with it.  I have 2 Jeeps set up to tow behind the MH this way.  

Kerry, I cannot answer all of your questions, but to try to find the source of the leak, just start at the place you can see it and follow it upwards. Sounds silly, I know...but gravity will make the fluid follow it's easiest path down to the ground but could be several feet laterally from the leak.  Sorry I cannot be more help here, hopefully someone with more experience will chime in.  Good luck.

Steve, what is the white strip that seems to be holding the seal up off the roof?

Joe, that is the strip of eternabond tape. 

Put the new slide topper on and now it's all ready to go somewhere. 

Just an update.  I had to use 2 different length double bulb wipers. One from Steele Rubber and one from AP Products. The one from AP is clearly a softer rubber, but I believe this will work.  I used Loctite 495 to join the corners together and all that's left is to put the new topper from Talin RV on. I also replaced the ribbed seals and used black proflex rv caulk along the edges. 

I agree w above. Start at the pedestal first.  I have seen mine shut off for both low and high voltage.  Mine gives a code telling me why it shut down.  Does yours have that?  Flashing lights, numbers, etc?

I took my fogged door window to a local glass shop and they replaced w new glass cut for about $130.  Have you checked a local glass shop?

Scotty,

Mine seems to be working properly.  Thank you!

I got the message saying they are all off and I have stopped receiving them.  Thank you for the work put into it.  

I agree totally. This is a better platform than the yahoo one.  I made a post asking about the digests to see if it was happening to others and so Scotty and other admin were aware. It was definitely not to bash anyone and I hope it was not taken that way.  I participate more in this site too than before.   Although, I have not seen negative posts about this site?  Maybe they have been removed?

Scotty, the weekly digests started back this am. Same frequency as before. 

Mine has gotten better.   My last one was just after midnight.  

Just the weekly for me, but still coming. 

If you didn't use stainless steel screws, you may want to plan to change those out in the future as the new ones will likely rust too.   I followed Chris Throgmartin 's instructions  to hopefully only do this one time. 

Jim, I believe what you are calling trim is your beltline which holds is where the walls are seamed together.  Those broken screws should be replaced with stainless steel rivets. A "popped" beltline will allow water in and you do not want that.  Once I redid mine, I used clear proflex rv caulk to seal. 

They have cut down, but still coming.  Now they are about every 2.5 to 4 hours which is a great improvement.  

I have a bell south.net email account which is run by At&t.  Those of you w this issue, who is your email through?

Is this happening to anyone else?  Even though I'm unsubscribed from the digests,  I'm getting digests every 15 to 30 minutes. 

Scotty,

When I use the button to reel my hose in, it sounds as if the gears are stripped and clicking.  It will spool in with help from me. Is this what you experienced with yours?

Thanks,

Steven

Steven,

Did you have to drain the air tanks to change switch or just be in park?

Thanks,

You do have to drain the air down before swapping as it is connected to the air system.  You will also want to air the system back up and check for leaks in the brake before you mount it to the panel again.  

Applied the rubber bumper like it was when stock. About to apply the wiper blade seal.  I'm going with the wider one up top and the narrow ones on the side.  I rough fit yesterday, is there a tool or trick to getting your hands in there to push on the seals?  Obviously the slide cannot be all the way out. 

Just an update.  I have applied dicor and eternabond tape but didn't take pics yet.  Now just need to put on the rubber strip and the wiper blades, then nee topper. 

Ron, I had this issue last year and replaced that parking brake switch and no issues since.  See pic below. 

I still have my old DirecTV satellite and was trying to find someone to give it to. 

AT&T lost us as customers years ago due to poor customer service.  They just got worse and worse.  We were happy w DirecTV and then AT&T bought them.  And the problems started again.  I repeatedly tried to not leave them for Dish, but when I did,  I felt the weight lift off my back.  Dish took a little getting used to after years w DirecTV,  but no regrets at all. I'd do it again.  Matter of fact, I have the Refer  a Friend for Dish.  PM me if anyone is going to use Dish and we both can save money.  

Looks really good.  Is that all dicor along eternabond edges, screw holes, etc..?
