At the risk of blatant self promotion...☺️ If anyone is interested...I just started a Youtube channel centered around my Toyota Motorhome, Honey. I have 2 videos up at the moment, but am at work on more. The channel will include improvements, tips and ideas for RV living, cooking keto, trips and anything else that happens in and around Honey. If you'd like to take a look, (and maybe give me a thumbs up and subscribe!) here's the link...https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVdrDle15lCiHfuHq4KmccA?view_as=public Thanks!

Looking into this! Thanks?

Lol! Yum!!

Darrel!! Wow!!! That looks awesome!

I've been enjoying the new covers on the RV cushions...but I have not been enjoying the pet hair sticking to them. I travel with all my pets, dogs and cats. I put the dogs beds on the sofa for them to lie on while we travel, but the hair still manages to get all over everything. So, now I'm about to re-do the covers with vinyl! I think this will make the RV much easier to keep clean. I'll post photos of the results.

Yes, I believe that is what mine must be. It can't get out so, I guess it'll stay there and just be loose. Thanks!

Thanks in advance to any and all who can offer some suggestions. I have a brand new spare tire mounted on the back of my Itasca. It is mounted on the stuff carrier, not the bumper. Problem is, I want to put a storage box in the carrier to store things in but the tire is in the way. It takes up room in the carrier. I know some models came with the tires mounted underneath the RV. I've checked under mine and there is nothing there. But, there is room to add one. I'm asking for ideas and suggestions on where to go, what to ask for, where to add it, and if it will work. Thanks!

Still trying all things. Got a new capacitor, and it started up and ran for a couple minutes before kicking off again. Have a heavy duty cord to the house power, but it didn't seem to make a difference. Thanks for all help!

I've just been crawling around under the RV to inspect the air bags (Yay! One has stayed inflated after sliming, one needs some more). While there I took some time to inspect other things and noticed a metal bar between the grey tank and the floor of the RV. It is not screwed in or attached in any way, other than being wedged between the tank and the floor. It slides around, but won't come out due to it being between supports/bars etc. Does anyone know if this is supposed to be anchored in somewhere? I'm assuming it is a spacer as the grey tank is suspended from the floor and not flush to it like the black tank is. There is a metal bar that runs through the area that keeps the tank from being able to be mounted flush. Any help?? Thanks!-Sue

Any idea where to get parts in BC, Canada? Can't seem to find anything online.

Not sure if this video works!

It's almost done! IMG_7757_(1).MOV.crdownload

First trip with the new renos. My sister slept on the new sofa 'bed' and says it was comfy. It's a win!

Thanks RVdaytrader. I'm pretty sure the cord is all good. I'll have to get up on the roof and see what I can see. I am noticing now that the fan slows when the compressor is trying to start.

Wow! That's looking amazing!! I was hoping to just repaint my stripes, using different colours than the original, this summer. Now you've got me thinking about going whole hog!

I'm no help to you, but keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. This is my biggest fear. Good luck?

Back in the fall, I asked for help with my AC unit. It was an easy fix to get the fan going and I appreciated all the help from members. NOW...I'm dealing with the same unit, but a different problem. Back in the fall, when it was cold and windy, the unit didn't need to cool off the air. But, now, in the heat of summer, I've realized it doesn't actually cool it at all. This morning, I went out and started it up, hooked to the house power. The fan runs great. Lots of air flow. But, it wasn't cooling the air. Being early in the morning, I thought that it might be cool enough that the difference in the temperature might not be enough to tell if it was cooling it. Now, this afternoon, I have gone out and fired it up again. Fan running great, pushing plenty of warm air out. Then, when I switch it to AC, it sounds like something else is trying to start up, but can't quite do it. The roof actually bounces a bit when it tries. It tries, then stops, tries again and stops. The fan continues to run. Any ideas? Could this be the compressor attempting to start? Can I do anything to help it out? Thanks for any suggestions and help!

Thanks for the help! I managed to get what I needed at a funky little hardware store here in Tacoma. They are the shark bite adapters that go from the old 3/8 inch poly to the new 1/2 inch pex. The guy there helped me piece together just what I needed and it all works perfectly now!!

Not sure if anyone can give me a hand...I need to reconnect the plumbing under the kitchen sink. The old connectors were leaking like crazy. Went to HD thinking I had the pieces I needed to replace in my purse only to discover they got left behind.?So, as I had taken photos, I was able to show one of the employees what I needed to replace. He found me what I also thought would do the job. I needed to cut part of one pipe off and use a new attachment to the sink. Problem is it does not fit my pipes. It is the grey plastic pipe, which I thought was PVC. I've since figured it is the old outdated polybutylene. It doesn't fit the new adapter which is 1/2" x 1/2". Can anyone tell me what size adapter I need and what company makes them?? Thanks!

Sorry, should have thought of that! It is a Dometic RM 2410 with a piezo ignitor.

Mine has the little o rings. By the end of the day my tank was dry. I'll try all of your suggestions and let you know if it solves it. Thanks all?

On this topic of fridges... mine works on shore power and propane. No 12volt. My problem is the little light that is supposed to be lit when it's not lit with propane. The instructions say it is fired up when the little light goes out. Problem is, there is no little light in the little tiny window for It! I can only tell if it's lit if it gets cold. Does anyone know if there is a replacement bulb for these. It is a replacement from the original fridge. Only a couple years old.

Soooo, this is my first trip of more than a night out. I drained the water tank etc. last fall and winterized. I used the little pull thingies under the sofa by the tank, following the manual directions. I have now filled my tank and right away realized I needed to close those suckers as water was pouring out from underneath. I had forgotten they were pull ones. But, it is still dripping after having pushed them down. After reading this, I wish I’d just run the pump, but, too late now. Is there something I’ve missed in closing them? They may need to be adjusted? Rotated? ?? Or could be hooped-aahh! Any one who could give me an idea of the steps to use these drains would be wonderful! Thanks!

I'm about to take the RV out for it's first trip (for me) of more than a couple hours from home. I added Slime to the airbags earlier this year and they seem to be holding pressure now, but am unsure of how much psi is best. What is recommended?

Duct tape is a good friend!
