Our unit had the doors touching when closed and then binding when opening and closing. I do have a wood shop with a jointer - that tool that has a bed and rotating knifes that allows a small amount of wood to be shaved from the edge of the door where the doors meet. You do have to remove the...

Freeze If you leave the water run a little bit during the freeze, be sure to leave your tank valve open. RV's don't have an 'overflow' in the sinks like our house sinks do.

vibration Have you had the tires balanced? Our first trip to Texas, the nuts on the toilet seat vibrated off and layed on the floor. I reapplied them good and tight. On the way home, one of then nuts had vibrated off and the other was loose. I guessed the only source was tires out of...

Florescent lights I just replaced all the lights in the living room, kitchen, entry with florescent lights. I bought them on line at JC whitney. They are 12 volt, but the ballast converts to 110, so they use 110v lights. I bought the ones with two 13watt lights. I also switched out the...

Rust on underbody If you are anywhere near salt water in Texas, you WILL have a rust problem. The salt air will get to your unit, even area's that are painted. We will be on the north end of Padre Island (Mustang Island) at Port Aransas. This will be our 6th year at Pioneer RV Park. We...

clothes bar in closet Yes, The screws were put in the thin panel under the shelf. I just used a piece of 1/2 inch plywood about 3" wide and long enough to make a U at the top with a diameter the same as the bar and a T at the bottom. When in place, it should be long enough to put a small...

Tow Rig Second on the Chebby with the duramax. Had an '01 with some injector problems, all taken care of by GM Now have an '04.5 with second generation engine. Love it. Fuel mileage same as previous post. Good ride. Look around, you'll see the popularity of the Duramax.

Balance tires I have posted this before, but it is worth repeating. When we arrived on our first trip to Corpus Christi TX from Minnesota we noticed that both nuts that hold the toilet seat were laying on the floor. Also the screws holding the counter extension were working their way out. I...

In a recent RV magazine article about winterizing the hot water heater the writer wrote that after draining the hot water heater, LEAVE THE ANODE ROD OUT. I have previous thoughts that it was best to leave the rod in so as not to dry out the inside of the heater -- any thoughts?

When we had the bad smell, it came from the hot water heater. This is what I did. Drain all the water from the hot water heater. Re-install the drain plug. Then I take my 25 foot water hose, be sure all water is out. Then hold both ends up while I put 1/2 cup of bleach in the hose. Now...

Cable vs Digital Box If you are interested in only local channels, try the digital conversion box and just using your antenna on the RV. We tried this in Texas this winter for our bedroom TV. It works great. The digital signal sends program information (like satellite programming guide) and...

balance tires On our 2008 trip to Texas from Minnesota we notice on arrival that the nuts on the bolts holding the seat on the toilet were loose, in fact, one was off, the other about half off. Also, the counter extension brackets, one had the screws worked out, the other was starting to...

We have a free standing holder, actually it is a round container that holds 2-3 rolls of toilet paper and the cover has a round ball for open the cover. A roll of toilet paper sits on top. WFM (Works For Me) We could see no reason to have towels 'toilet room'.

Cabinet When we ordered our BH 3600 RL we noticed that the cabinet you mentioned was 'standard' in the Landmark we looked at. I liked the cabinet so asked if it could be installed in our BH at the factory -- no problem. I think that you can order it through a dealer. Expect to pay about...

Television When I read your thread I assumed you meant the space in the bedroom, if so, this is what I did. I used a stud finder and located the support (frame), studs, in the wall in the cabinet area. Then I cut a piece of 1/2 plywood large enough to cover the support pieces in the wall...
