    Another sunny and hot weekend in NB.

I...

    bunk house bunk light relocation question.

    I thank you for the confidence. I suspect that because it is an interior hollow wall it will be an easy depower, remove, drill pilot hole through , cut and reinstall the rocker switch all the while making sure i don't fumble the wires into the wall opening itself. i have to enquire on a wall...

    does anyone know how long the factory carries the prints for various wall papers? we have acquired a small hole on one of the interior walls across from the dinning area in our trailer. I think I can safely blame Buzz Lightyear for the recent MOD. the hole is about 2 inches in diameter. I...

    Didn't mean to hijack the thread... On our 09 Sundance the 30 amp power cord is not a cord. someone before us must have separated the cord into separate wires and stripped off the outer casing. I can find the red wire, the white wire and the ground. it appears that the red goes into the top...
