Hello Bunneys!
Larrabee is my old neck of the woods. Lived in B'HAM for 22 years, sure miss that area.
I hope you went to the beach at low tide and saw the life in tide pools and south of the beach went out on the big rock and watched the sun go down.
Glad everything went well with unit and the kids!

I don't know if it will be required to access your cooling coils, but if you need to disconnect your fridge and pull it out, you might want to review this:
Derek up North thanks for that link!

You should be able to clean the reefer coils yourself. I've done lots of them and got by with simply using a shop-vac with a crevice tool to get all the dust off.
The blower motor on the furnace is also an easy job. I've replaced two of them on two different RVs. The manual will probably help, but the job is pretty straight forward. Once you start you'll see how things come apart and go back together.
Good luck.
Dolphonite thanks for responding! How do I get access to the coils?

How do you know the coils need cleaning????
The RV dealer says so. I have never used the fridge. I know it works. I was told that once you stop moving the fridge has to be absolutely level when using it or you will wreck it. I have no manual for this thing.

Thank you John MC!

I have a 86 Toyota Dolphin that needs to have the refrigerator coils cleaned and the RV dealer wanted about $120 to clean them. Has anyone done this?
I also have the squealing heater motor problem and the labor to put in new motor is about the same $120. Is this something that I could reasonably do? I am probably fair to medium handy as a mechanic.
Thank you,

A good way to spread your weight when working on roof is to take a couple of pieces of stout plywood up there. Lay one ahead of the other and work your way around the roof useing these as snowshoe platforms. It puts less pounds per square inch on one spot & spreads the load. Have to agree with Derek up North (is there a Derek down south also?) to patch it up with some wet or dry stuff to hold you over till the dry time.
Thanks for the plywood tip!

I was working on mine today (replacing Roof Vents)
I weigh about 180 and made it a point to stay toward the edges.
I'll do a short writeup on replacing the roof vents with photos.
Thanks for the reply

Most products will indicate in the fine print the acceptable conditions for use. Best to follow what you can find. Worst case, get some roofing tar that they say you can apply in the wet to tide you over until it warms up. Might be a bit messy to remove later with paint thinners, but a lot easier than repairing water damage.
Where are you located? Are you somewhere that finds 50 degrees 'too cold'?
I am in Seattle and it is definitely under 50, it has been snowing today

Hi,
I just bought a 86 Dolphin (has correct 6 lug floating hub rear axles) and I noticed slight leak around front fresh air vent. Naturally it didn't leak while I was looking at it berfore buying. I did forum search and there were threads on using C-10 hypalon, snocoat roofing (wal mart) and lap sealant and butyl ruibber caulk for windows.
I don't have garage to do this now, I need to get the leak fixed 'til spring. I did notice that it looked like black roof sealant was around the vents.
Is this roof aluminum ?
Can I stand on the roof?, I weigh about 245 lbs.
I would welcome any suggestions as to best fix for the short term and also for the long term.
I would be applying this outside in cold and possibly wet conditions.
Thank you

Do you remember which kind there is? I went to their website and found this for tacky tape.
Thank you,
