Mine are 1” bent metal tubing with a backing plate to mount them. Here’s a picture from the brochure.
-
That looks like the exterior handle
-
Mine are loose where the plate attaches to the tube.

Has anyone had issues with the interior entry grab handle getting loose. Mine looks like the interior nut assy threads are worn out. Any issues to repair it? Thanks Dennis 2008 Endeavor

No 12V Source Wire for Passenger Side Lights
DennisZ replied to Lynn Hales's topic in Electrical Systems
That is the same floor plan as my 2008 Endeavor. If you have no power to the light above the sink (mine is a florescent), I would look for power in the junction box for the slide out, it is located in the small cabinet at the aft end of kitchen slide. Make sure you check the 12 volt fuse panel in the bedroom closet. -
Pressure Transducers - what are they for?
DennisZ replied to Steve P's topic in Chassis, Handling, Tires & Brakes
Ray is correct. The switches are for the primary and secondary air systems (fwd & Aft), the switches are wired in parallel, either one will operate the lights or disengage the cruise. It’s kind of a pain to change them, you have to remove the valve from the firewall to do it. They are in there VERY tight. I ws able to do it without disconnecting any of the air lines. -

Steve My pressure switches are mounted on the brake tredel valve mounted on the wall in the front bay above the generator. If your brake lights are working, it’s something else, the same switch closure that operates the brake lights disengages the cruise.

Make sure your brake lights are working properly, In had an issue with my cruise not going off with the brake, both of my brake pressure switches had gone bad. -
I use to live there, in Lancaster, only for 55 years, then decided I needed to leave.

I’ve used these a lot, they are fine for low voltage in areas that do not get hot, they tend to go bad in high heat areas over time. They don’t contain enough flux in the solder to give real good flow, so I generally add a drop of rosin flux to the wires prior installation, the other comments about overlapping the wires or twisting them are both good practices, otherwise you are depending solely on the solder for the strength of the gap. BTW, these are not a new fad idea, I was using them in aircraft wiring 50+ years ago, although much more robust and higher quality items.

Yes, the April 11th thru the 15th. -
If you do want to use a 1 piece solder sleeve, use one like these, I’ve used literally thousands of them in aircraft wiring, they are not cheap, and do require a high temp heat gun to shrink them, but these are very reliable mil-spec splices. https://www.amazon.com/TE-CONNECTIVITY-RAYCHEM-D-110-35-TERMINAL/dp/B00LQP018E/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2WOCIZTXLDMD0&keywords=Raychem+solder+splices&qid=1691243191&sprefix=raychem+solder+splices%2Caps%2C102&sr=8-4

Having used those solder shrink splices, I would go with a high quality crimp splice with a separate heat shrink sleeve that has a double layer with a glue to make the connection totally waterproof, much more reliable.

I just registered for the 2nd session, I want to be home for the eclipse, we are only a couple of miles from dead center at home. -
My name plate was badly mangled from my incident, 2 of the studs were broken off. I got a couple of SS carriage bolts put in place of the, what a PITA drilling thru the old studs to get a pilot hole. All worked out, MUCH easier on the bench.

I just bought parts from these guys to fix mine, here is a complete flap for not to of an unreasonable price. https://fsi-sales.com/products/rock-guard-monaco

And now on to a new slide out cover
DennisZ replied to JDCrow's topic in General Motorhome Discussion
Their website says that they cut it off and install a small ramp that allows the cover to slide over it. https://www.truetopperusa.com/faqs -
Gave Tims RV Cameras a call this morning, they can’t repair the monitor and the replacement is not a very good option, guess I’ll keep looking.

Thanks, I’ll give them a call on Monday

I have a Voyager AOM-7694 monitor that has some dead lines on the monitor. I really don’t want to replace the monitor as none of the replacements support the tilt feature for the rear camera. I guess the real question is does anyone know of a repair facility that can put in a new display, I haven’t had any luck finding one.
