    Travelling in winter

    in General Motorhome Discussion

    Posted

    We Never drove in the winter until the roads were clear.   Salt on the road does wonders to the chassis of your coach. Once the salt gets on the chassis, it is impossible to remove.  Then the rust begins.

    I might add that chains are known to come loose and damage the inside of the wheel well.

    "and perhaps trying to convince Bill to take up ANOTHER HOBBY..."😉 Bill this might be a good time to step back and read the previous posts. The answers you seek will be found within. I most always troubleshoot with jumpers in the front pocket. And for some perhaps, a small bible in the back pocket.

    Good Luck

    It would help owners out to familiarize themselves with what is in each bay of their coaches.   That way when you encounter issues you will not be riding around with the top down.  Being familiar with that helps.  Of course you can check the manual that came with your coach.  Good bathroom reading.

    Just to add a safety factor to Tom's great post.

    Disconnect shoreline, generator off, disconnect the negative of both banks of batteries. 

    Some battery combining systems could feed power back to the house battery banks and you would still have a live 12 volt feed.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A 12 volt test light connected from ground and then probe each side of the solenoid mentioned. It should glow on both sides when engaged. The large terminals that is. 

    A voltmeter works but can trick you into believeing things are fine. 

    Not for me, I know how to use it

    I bypassed the salesman switch solenoid by putting all the red cables on one post.  I disconnect the plus and minus small wires and taped each separately and stored.  

    If you are one of those who like to have everything left as it came with the coach, be prepared to continue to have issues.

    Norcold refrigerator

    The Norcold, Inc. refrigerators listed below have been recalled.

    It is important to implement this safety enhancement to prevent an unsafe elevation in the temperature of the cooling unit should the unit fail in operation. This enhancement seeks to minimize the risk of injury or death due to fire.

    Norcold Inc. has decided to recall certain 1200, 1201, 1210 and 1211 model gas/electric refrigerators with serial numbers from 315525 to 13088811, non-consecutively. The refrigerator’s model and serial number are located inside the fresh food compartment. These refrigerators may have cooling units with a cooling unit serial number between 700000 to 13085759. This is a new recall campaign to include all 1200, 1201, 1210 and 1211 models.

    Even if your refrigerator was repaired as part of a previous recall, it is necessary to have it repaired again to minimize the risk of injury or death due to fire.

    If you have one of these refrigerator models, use the following procedure:

    1. Identify and write down the refrigerator model. If it is a Norcold 1200, 1201, 1210 and 1211 model, go to step 2.
    2. Identify and write down the refrigerator serial number. If the serial number falls in the range of 315525 and 13088811, go to step 3.
    3. Identify and write down the cooling unit serial number. If the serial number falls in the range of 700000 and 13085759, go to step 4.
    4. Call your dealer immediately.

    The installation of the High-Temperature Sensor will be at no cost to you.

    Owners of recalled refrigerators should NOT operate their refrigerator until it can be professionally repaired by your dealer or a Norcold authorized service center.

    If you have one of the recalled refrigerators and you:

    Currently reside in the RV, you should immediately:
    • Set the refrigerator controls to “OFF”.
    • Unplug the refrigerator through the service vent on the outside of the vehicle.
    • Contact your dealer, a Norcold authorized service center or Norcold’s Recall Center at 1-800-767-9101 as soon as possible to get assistance.
    Do not currently reside in the RV, you should immediately:
    1. Set the refrigerator controls to “OFF”
    2. Unplug the refrigerator through the service vent on the outside of the vehicle.
    3. Disconnect from shore power.
    4. Contact your dealer, a Norcold authorized service center or Norcold’s Recall Center at 1-800-767-9101 as soon as possible to get assistance.

    Failure to follow these instructions can result in a fire causing injury or death.

    Norcold, Inc. cannot accept responsibility if you do not immediately arrange to take your refrigerator into a Dealer/Service Center for repair. Moreover, you could be personally liable to third parties for property damage or bodily injuries resulting from your failure to have your refrigerator immediately repaired.

    If you have any questions, please contact us at 1-800-767-9101,

    Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

    You need to bite the bullet and get rid of the frig.  Why try to pour additional money into a recalled frig?
