Hello All, I have a 89 Dolphin that has been sitting/not maintained for a long time in the high desert. On all the RV windows the lockstrip (or outside gasket) has shrunk and is pulling away from the corners. What are my options? 1. Do I have to do anything - or does the lockstrip provide a water seal as well? 2. If I have to replace - what are the pros and cons of replacing with new lockstrip/gasket or just using a window sealer to fill the gap (I think waiter did it with window adhesive on his front window). 3. If I have to get lockstrip - how hard is it to install. Sorry for the multiple questions. Cheers,

Thanks for the reply Maineah. You were correct - I had the polarity switched on the coach battery. It appears I am in need of more careful work. I had the battery hooked up with the + and - cables reversed. I did check with a voltmeter but I misread my voltmeter when checking the polarity of the cables from the cables from the car (or my old belief that black is always negative made me ignore my voltmeter). SO black is + and white is negative for my 89 Dolphin at the battery box. Cheers.

Hello all, Just bought a 1989 Dolphin that had been stored for a while (a long while as it has 34,000 miles on it). Problem is the converter makes a click then a banjo twang note, then repeats this two note symphony for as long as the coach battery is connected. There is no 12 volt power in the rv when the coach battery is connected. When the coach battery is not connected - plugged into 120 AC - all the 12 volt circuits work with no twanging. I can isolate the twang to the converter component with a spring like thing. It is the original converter. I know that I need to change the converter to a new model, however I need to use the toyota for the next few weeks before I can afford the cost for a quality replacement. Any quick and dirty ways to fix this problem, or is there any other options besides the $150+ new converter. Thanks for your time. Cheers,
