My 5er has been standing out in the sun and rain for the last 5 years, and the exterior has gone white and dull from oxidation. Any suggestions as to restore is to a somewhat new look with a shine ? Tried wash and wax, had it flayed a few years ago, but that did not help much. So how are you...

I have just found a new leak in my 2013 Heartland 3685RL, this time it is around the base of the commode. It is not continuous, and it is a little water, which is seeping from under the commode base, and even a little water in a RV is a bad thing. The water is clean water, and the leak appears...

Thoughts on this ... Do I have something shorting or do I have the incorrect fuse type, or is there another reason that you guys can come up with. My wife uses the microwave 1500watts and the kettle 1500watts at the same time and it immediately blows the 400amp ANL fuse (happened twice in 2...
