Driverside interior over couch lights and over table lights
Reka52 replied to Mike T Phillips's topic in Electrical Systems
Are they 12 v lights or 110 ac. You may need to be plugged in to power for them to work -
I have had the lights out and the they fitted into wells in the fibre glass the only opening is a small hole for the wire to come thru, it won’t hurt to run a bead around them but I would be suspect that the window is the issue mine was leaking as well and I got a tube of proper caulk from a windshield place and re did the windshield problem solved. If you have mobility issues get a pro to do it it is extremely messy and difficult to work with

No as long as it will wind up with the awning all should be fine. If you have removed the whole thing and it is your hand that will also be fine. You just won’t have a pull down strap.
-
Looks like a pull down strap is in the way, lower awning and untangle the strap it will slide down the track away from the arm and just roll the awning back up. You will have to manually pull the strap down the tube away from the arm

No don’t use proflex go to a glass shop and get the proper caulk or better yet take it to them it is a very minor job for a pro

Turn on storage bay lights then it will work

Had the very same happen to me and this my fix. West marine epoxy and trowled in to the hole (after cleaning) and slightly enlarging used a threaded 1/4” thread insert and screwed it into the wet epoxy with the bolt screwed in to keep the threads clean let sit 24 hrs and remove bolt and reattach the awning using the bolt you just removed. I did both holes at the same time and 1 yr later still good. All pieces from ace hardware

Windshield is an ez fix the cap is fibreglass so it is fixable if that is the only damage you might have got off lucky. Went thru a similar situation a couple years ago and all worked out coach was repaired and not ONE problem since then

Nevercold (Norcold 1200) not working properly. Seaking guidance
Reka52 replied to 1nolaguy's topic in Appliances
I have put in a fridgeair 1465 in our coach, the height was fine no adjustment the width was 7 “ narrow and after lining the wall with Luan plywood a nice broom closet was left and just had to install a door made from an oak board was a very simple fix and the fridge is quite efficient on electricity consumption -
Trying to decide between 120v residential and 12v dc fridge
Reka52 replied to Pudgy Camper's topic in Appliances
The fridge came in thru the door, you will have to undo the door stop at the top of door so the door goes past vertical and take the doors off of both fridges then they go and come easy. You just need a big strong grandson to do the lifting then you can do the steering. I removed the passenger seat but with a good muscle person on the other it could be done leaving it in, but it is very easy to remove. I considered the 12/ gas option but then we are still dealing with a 20+ year box and door seals are not available and the 1465 was several hundred dollars cheaper than that option. The 1465 is much lighter in weight than the norcold. So far happy with the decision and I have cold beer and hard ice cream on demand Also the fridge door is reversible it came with a left hand hinge it is pre drilled and threaded so switching to a right hand opening was no problem. The msw does not seem to bother the fridge or my other mentioned appliances and all my power tools operate normally so I think that the psw/msw debate is overblown I don’t have computers so I don’t have an opinion on them but I do know my cell phone charges just fine. We are snow birds and spend about 7 mos a year in the motor home and we boondock most of the time -

I was in the same boat as you 11/2 yrs ago. I got the norcold out and put in a fridgeair 1465 this is about 14 cu ft and fit nicely in the norcold hole it left about a 7” space on the side for a nice broom closet was able to put a door on it. My inverter is a zantrax 458 msw and the fridge has run flawlessly with it. My battery monitor shows me that the fridge, lights, satellite tv and furnace use about 160 amp hrs a night about 12 hrs. I have installed 600 ah of lithium and am able to charge the lithium with the xantrax inverter/ charger I just have to shut the charger off manually -
Did you check the magnet on the door frame is it still there or has it fallen out of its holder, had to glue mine back in and all is good
