Wanderin Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Jeri, I think we need to go on the one meal plan, or so says our scale (but you know how those things lie)! I keep dropping it on the floor to break it, but its the toughest thing we have in the house. Hope everyone is having a great summer and finding a cool place to hang out. Steve Now WHY would you address this to me, Steve? I'm in the market for FLORIDA clothes which means they are so different than ARIZONA clothes. I know that it's not a man thing but it certainly isn't a 3-meal a day thing either. Needless to say, I'm struggling with this! I guess if all else fails, elastic works great! ))) Quote Just Wanderin' On a permanent vacation! http://blog.willywagon.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onthego Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Alright gang, help. Doug does not like asking for help but he is at his wit's end. In April our hot tank was not working properly so we replaced it. Since then it has still not worked properly. Works sometimes. The red light in the control box is always on but it you flick it off for a second or two and on again it would work. We could live with that. Then it stopped. Doug thought it was the regulator so he replaced that. Worked again the hokey way. Then it stopped. He thought maybe it was the tank. He bought a new small one. It worked hokey for another while. Today he bought a new 30 pounder. Nothing. It will not fire. It ticks like it is trying but it will not fire. The stove elements all work well. Any suggestions before we ask a serviceman. You know how he hates to do that. Ours was acting goofy a couple of years ago. Had a service guy come out and he replaced the mother board, been fine ever since. Good Luck.

steved44 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 If it's an atwood water heater there is a fuse wire outside just above the gas valve that could be corroded. If it is not working at all the in line fuse may be bad or just partially making contact. You can jump around the fuse and see if it lights.

IYQ Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 I took the Navion over to Las Cruces this morning to get the power lifter on the large sky light and vent fixed. They ordered parts so more waiting and another appointment. When I got back home I tried it to see if it would open. Now nothing works at all and it won't latch now. A strong wind could get under it and tear the whole thing off. I don't know what they did but they really messed it up. Because they are not a winnebago dealer I think they can't figure out how it is supposed to work and are just tinkering and hoping. I think I really need some luck on this one. Just what I need, a 16 x 32 hole in the roof.

hdrider Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Uhgggg. We were in Portland Oregon the 1st week on June and certainly did not think we would see it again until next summer for a couple weeks. But after leaving and working our way to Glacier NP we ended making a HUGE U turn and worked our way back for 2 more weeks, Uhgggg once again LOL!! Then when Diane was checking us in they changed our site to the area most of the long term folks stay and that's not so good here, WHAT!!!! Well I already hate Portland and am not real fond of the park in the first pace so needless to say we got off to a bumpy start for this stay. At least after I went in the office we ended up in the area we agreed upon when we made reservations 3 weeks ago. Now I just need to get through the next 2 weeks in this God forsaken city and put it behind me once again LOL!!

IYQ Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 I'm up at City of Rocks cooling it for a couple days. I'm actually boondocking. The only electric sites with a Verizon signal were occupied. So luckily site #1 which is the only non electric site that is level was open and I took it. I opened all the windows and the door and turned on the fan and it has been comfortable. Just before dark it rained for about 45 minutes so I closed up started the Gen set and cooked my dinner running the AC while I cooked. The rain cooled the air down so now the windows are open and it's staying cool in the rig. If we meet in Q this January I'll go to the slabs first and have a couple of panels installed. It sure feels good to get a little taste of my old style again. I think I'll boondock any time I come up here when the temperature is below about 93.

IYQ Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 It feels a little warmer today but I've managed to hold the inside temperature to a maximum of 87 and it's now about 4:30 PM. As long as I keep the air moving with my trusty Wal-Mart 0-2-Cool fan. I't's rather comfortable, I had a little excitement around here this morning, I still don't know what it's all about. Early this AM a Rangers truck pulled into Site #2 about 70 yards from me. He got out and went into the rocks behind the site. I could see him appear between the rocks every once in a while like he was searching for something. About a half hour later a second range pulled into the site. He also went into the rocks. A while later they both left neither was carrying anything when they came out of the rocks. I thought that was the end of it but about 20 minutes later another ranger with a bunch of camera equipment came out of the rocks. He ran past my site heading toward the office with cameras swinging and bouncing. About 5 minutes later three ranger vehicles one with 4 men in the pickup bed came in a hurry and all went into the rocks and the ranger with all the camera stuff came back past my rig and joined the others. A while later they all emerged from the rocks and put something in the rear of the SUV ranger vehicle the all got in the other truck and took off. End of excitement, time for a Steve.

palamine Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Doug, when I mentioned the cover of the HW Heater I meant the inside cove not the one on the outside of the trailer. Thank you beloved guru of RV repair. It was the switches inside the control panel. Because the water heater is brand new, we will try to get a replacement if not Doug thinks he can just fix it.
