RE: Want to keep it looking new

Use a good quality marine polish and keep in a carport or garage when not in use.

RE: Travel Trailer Tires

It seems that even being more expensive Goodyear Endurance is still subject to the 5 year failure problem. Just pulled off one date coded 3618 with a belt shift. Luckily I found it at home and not on the highway.

RE: Travel Trailer Tires

Currently using Goodyear Endurance that are 4 yeas old. Goodyear warrants them for 6 - time will tell.

RE: Domestic powered awning - raise outer edge

Easiest solution is to not fully extend. I have a dark colored awning and found that if you stop extension when the roller is slightly higher than at the sidewall it is actually cooler underneath than at full extension. This allows the hot air to escape rather than being trapped at the apex.

RE: Gulf State Park, AL

They will not let you check in until 2. They will let you park at the boat launch area until check in time. They are also strict on check out time.

RE: 30ft Travel Trailer how common in the US

Those look bigger than 30 feet. The first one appears to have an aluminum frame, which is interesting.

RE: A-Liner Sway

Sway controls are a poor band aid fix for lack of proper tongue weight. Trailers need a minimum of 10% of total weight on the tongue to track properly.

RE: AC duct leaking

Most ceiling registers used in RVs have a louvered section that will come out. Once that is removed you will be able to see where the assembly attaches to the duct work. That is where it is often not sealed well.

RE: AC duct leaking

Most likely the ducts were not sealed properly at the A/C unit and/or the various registers. To check the unit connections you need to drop the ceiling assy. of the unit. To check the registers; generally the louvered portion pops out. Any gaps in the connections can be sealed with metallic duct tape available at HVAC or plumbing supply houses.

RE: Dometic AC freezing up

If you are getting icing you likely have an an airflow problem. Is evap. coil clean? Filter clean? Duct work clear and ALL registers open? Ceiling assembly installed and sealed correctly?

RE: Atwood 6 Gallon Gas water heater

Your symptoms indicate an igniter that is not properly positioned.

RE: Quadrants, rather than one big cross country trip?

Your quadrant plan is good and I would figure more the 6 to 8 week time frame. In some instances you may even cover a smaller area. As far as going over old areas. It will happen over the years; but by using different routes thru them you will see different things. Keep reservations to a minimum so you have a more flexible schedule.

RE: 12 volt issue?

Check your fuse panel and confirm if they are all on the same circuit. It may have an auto reset breaker instead of a fuse. They look similar at first glance; but a fuse will have a visible fusible link.

RE: Hot Air Blowing Out From Behind Out Fridge

This is normal as it also is for when a residential refrigerator is used. That is a downside of using this type of refrigerator. Heat load wise you now have the equivalent of an extra person in the RV all the time.

RE: Soft Start question

Are you taking the readings in the RV or at the service connection? A voltage drop is normal when operating a high current device like an A/C. How much it drops will be affected by the quality of connections (ie plug & receptacle), voltage, and wire size. A start assist device only reduces the the current spike of the compressor start.

RE: Why Is My Air Conditioner Squawking?

Sounds like bad bearings on the fan motor. Unit seems to be a bit new for that; however, if it was used in very dusty conditions it is possible.

RE: 2005 Keystone Montana 3400RL Electrical Issues

Are both legs of your 50 amp service hot?

RE: So tell me about your perfect couples travel trailer

I have found that a rear living floor plan works good for your described situation. Since you are looking at used; probably more important than brand is age and current condition. I would avoid anything with foam core floor construction.

RE: Priming the water pump

ditto of MFL. Especially his last sentence about opening a facet.
