Wow...made my day! Where do I pick up my prize...Camping World???

[Dgibbster]

Covered it :-(

I ran my generator for 1 hour under load, switched the Norcold to propane as well as the water heater while running a load of laundry. I do this the first of every month, but was 3 days lazy this month. All worked perfectly.

So today I got this in from Amazon. Had it put up when the DW came out to start loading the camper for our weekend trip to Watsadler CG on Lake Hartwell. I know it isn't a perfect job, but she was really happy which is all that matters.

Replaced my water pump today, it has been loosing pressure from the check valve, and tale-tale when I had it connected to the city water connection, it was back filling into the fresh water tank.

Easy 30 minute job (at max) and fixed the cycling, fixed the back filling issue.

Did you try adjusting the output pressure to stop the cycling?

Used it a Mueller. Pikes Peak on the wrong side of the campsite, but it was available for the weekend.

Dropped mine off at the dealer to get the propane pressure tested, a general lookover and a few things done - ladder installed in the back, propane quick connect installed and hopefully separate the awning light from the step light and a dimmer installed (I looked at this, but the switch they used was really different and I am risk adverse).

Hauled her to the sticks & bricks for the weekend. Gonna clean her out & do some maintenance before we head out to Yellowstone.

Pulled ours out to a site. Just picked it up and is our first outing

[TxLoser]

Measured the roof height at a Walmart on the road via the drive under it and see what happens method. Overhang placard said 13’ 10”. That puts me at a solid 13’ 6”.

First trip is always exciting, enjoy!

[Bookemdanno]

Replaced the whole house filter, the fridge filter, and lubed everything I could think to lube on the 5er. I also conditioned all the slide out seals. The DW cleaned in inside from top to bottom. Had to repair one of the valances...as it stripped the screw out of the wall holding it in place. Tomorrow I'll make sure the TPMS for the 5er is working and then back to storage. Almost forgot...had to change out the battery in the smoke detector too.

Looked at the Atwood furnace that stopped working last weekend. I will have to pull it out of it's hole to see if there any codes flashing on the board. The fan runs for less than one minute and turns off. I am guessing it is the sail switch again. It has been worked on twice, this time will buy a new one if there no cods on the brain board. Have book and Jayco forum will fix it! There are lots of furnace posts on here. Links would save me some hunting time though.

Had to replace our sail switch last year while in W Virginia. The tech said he twist the sail part of the switch just a little when he installs new ones. This makes it catch more air quicker and also strengthens the sail by making it stiffer. We have used ours a lot since then because we have been traveling for over a year now.

Does the sail switch function only when on gas? Ironically, I've never had the need to use gas, just electric.

Put all new batteries in the TPMS sensors & hauled her back to storage. She’s all ready for our upcoming trip to Yellowstone!

I was correct the furnace trouble was a bent sail switch again. I straightened it out and the furnace runs fine. I will order a new one for the next time the furnace gremlins decide to bend the sail switch again.

No, it was 8 years old, and it had been giving me signs of slow backflow pressure valve failure for a couple of years now. You can also buy a kit to replace just the pressure valve for around $20, but I figured I can use my old pump as a transfer pump, something I've been wanting to do for a few years now.

The new pump has worked as it should right out of the box, no adjustment, no back pressure leaking, no cycling.
