I had a customer who had a family of squirrels enter into his air conditioner. They got inside the shroud, chewed a hole through the insulated cover over the evaporator cover, and built a nest just above the air distribution box in their bedroom. From that point, they had full access to the...

I don’t believe the Honeywell will work with a Dometic AC. Only Dometic or MicroAir t-stat will work with a Dometic AC.

I thought it was time to check in again. My business has become crazy busy. We are booked out 2 weeks and can’t keep up with the demand. We’ve decided we’re going to take a break and travel at least once each month to keep from getting burned out. I still love what I’m doing, but this will...

I ordered and replaced the relay on the circuit board, but it didn’t fix the problem, so I went with the instructions provided above, and we’re back in business. Works great. Thanks.

As for my business, it seems to be taking off nicely. Since the week of Thanksgiving, I’ve completed 45 work orders, and this is the off season. I really enjoy what I’m doing, and it seems to be steady work.

Good luck to you. The 10 weeks starts off slow, but then flies by. Let me know if you have any questions that I can help you with.

I finished the class the week of Nov 16th, and passed the Master RV Tech exam. As of today, I am an RVSA Certified RV Technician. After a year of experience, and providing documentation back to the school, I can be an RVSA Certified Master RV Technician. It was a good experience, and I...

As I promised, I’m checking back in on this training. I’m in week 5 of the 10 week class. The first few weeks focused on the fundamentals of electricity, propane, and water systems. Then, we worked into much more of the hands on training, including electrical components (relays, solenoids...

Absolutely Welcome to my world. I am in the same boat.

I’ve decided to attend the RV Services Academy in Palmetto, FL. The next session starts on Sept 14th.

Terry Cooper’s school is a good option for someone looking to learn about their own rig, but it’s not a path to be a Certified RV Tech. Cooper’s school is, I believe, 5 days. The RVSA course in FL is 10 weeks. The RVIA course is 8 weeks. CORRECTION: I just learned that NRVTA does have a path...

I just retired from my engineer/manager job of 36 years. Now, I’m thinking of getting training to become a certified RV Tech with the goal of starting a mobile RV service business. It looks like there are 2 options. The first is with the developing RVIA in Elkhart. The second is with the well...

Re: Tray full of water Last night I was thinking about this, and wondered about fashioning some type of P trap in the drain hose. A plug to block air and pass water is a terrible idea. When it fails, it is catastrophic, as I’ve experienced.

Re: Tray full of water Dan, I am an advocate against that plug. My “plug” stopped the water from draining from the hose. I found it after finding water all over the floor in front of our refrigerator, doing significant damage to the cabinets where they contact the floor. I found the tray in the...

Re: Tray full of water I just saw this post and decided to respond. I had noticed that the OSB below my refrigerator was always wet from the evaporation tray spilling during our moves. I bought some 3/8” ID tubing from Lowe’s, and taped it over the end of the white drain tube, and ran that out...

We’re in Myrtle Beach, and leaving Friday morning too. Enjoy your trip.

Two weeks ago, we were using our 2015 Cyclone. I was going up onto the roof to clean the vent covers, and as I was climbing the side ladder, one of the brackets pulled away from the side wall. All four of the screws were broken about a 1/4” below the head. After coming home, I decided to pull...

Me too.

Yes. With disc brakes, the harder you hit the pedal, the faster the brakes stop the camper. I love my disc brakes. I’m still amazed at how well they work.

At the 2019 Goshen rally, I started receiving a message on my RAM truck that the trailer brakes required servicing, approximately 100 miles from arriving at the campground. I had already signed up for installation of disc brakes, but I wanted to know if the issue was on the truck side of my...

We sometimes travel with our Ultra Limited. We took it to Maine last summer, and really enjoyed riding along the coast. Someday, we’ll take it to ride the keys.

I just placed my order and got 4 gauge wires.

I put the 80 amp circuit breaker in, and as expected, there is no more tripping when I’m retracting the legs. I still want to find the reason for the high amps. While my wife operated the control panel to retract and extend the legs, I checked voltage at different points in the system. First...

One Medium, and one XL. Thanks. - - - Updated - - - We just realized that we sent the wrong amount. We will mail another check. Sorry.

We will be arriving on Thursday, and leaving on Sunday. We will have to pass on the Hunley tour.

You can add Dennis and M’Lisse Haas to the list. We made a reservation with the campground yesterday, and mailed a check. We have a 2015 Cyclone.

No, I only check it with slides in and legs up.

After having our Cyclone for 5 years, I realized that my hydraulic oil level was almost a quart low. I added a quart of stiction fluid to get the level back to full. Yesterday, I took the camper to our local dealer for some service items. I questioned if it was normal to be a quart low after 5...

So, based on advice on this thread, I replaced the 50 amp breaker, between the batteries and the buss bar, with an 80 amp breaker. I originally did not see this breaker as it was blocked from sight by the battery box. Anyway, when I hitched up, I had withdrawn all of my slides and all of my...

I bought the fork oil from Amazon.

I wanted to follow up on my earlier posts. (I wish I had started a separate thread. Sorry.) After returning from the holidays, I found my batteries were totally dead. I normally keep my camper unplugged, and have the solar to keep the batteries charged. This had never happened before. As...

Jerrod, When I installed the 80 amp breaker, I bought a heavier wire, about 1 foot long to go between the buss bar and the circuit breaker. I am away from the camper until New Year’s, but I would appreciate your troubleshooting thoughts. If you could PM your phone, I’ll reply with mine, and...

I’ll try that. I have 2 of the Battle Born lithium batteries I bought at the Rally in June. Thanks

I’ve been having an issue this past season with my hydraulic leveling gear stopping during retracting. I added some of the recommended stiction fluid to the hydraulic reservoir, and found that I was a quart low. I filled it to the line (with all hydraulics retracted). The situation got better...

Yes. After the second one separated, I asked them to replace it with a set of the CRE3000's, and they agreed. No problem with the equalizer since then. (knock on wood)

I had installed the SRE4000s on our Cyclone. I had the same issue with the rubber pulling away from the metal frame, twice. After the last time, I switched to the CRE3000. So far, so good.

When this happened to me last week, I checked on RamForumz, and learned that the RAM truck sends a 50mV signal down the brake wire, and if it doesn't see the continuity/response that it expects, it responds with the "Check Trailer Brake Wiring" message. This could be due to a mis-wired plug, a...

This happened to me last week, an hour away from Goshen. I have a 2014 Ram 3500. I was thinking I had a problem with the truck. When the installer showed up Tuesday to do my disc brake upgrade, I explained the situation to him. He was confidant the problem was with a wire near the drum brakes...

No. WillyBill's post.

Your post makes sense to me. (No offense taken.)
