Installation of the steering centering shock absorber

The installation of these units is quite easy as long as you have the proper bracket for the install and the wrenches. I did the install in less than an hour and just replace the existing shock...

Fresh water won't fill

I think this should be an obvious fixable problem. Can you inspect the fresh water tank to see the actual level of water? The only reason a gravity fed system could be not filling would be if the...

House water pump noise

The ones delivered with RV's tend to be very loud. There are replacements that claim to be quieter. The water pumps are normally rubber shock mounted so you could remove the pump and wrap it with...

Misfire, #6

You should probably start with removing the spark plug and just replacing it if you don't have the means to test it (i.e. color, cracking insulator etc.) Next would be the ignition coil(s); probably...

I did not mention one item. When the ignition is off, the BIRD will not connect it's battery to the house batteries, so the chassis battery will not be discharged. You can look at the BIRD and see...

Thor Vegas 2017 cracked wardrobe mirror

AC 30A breakers

The MH AC may be loading down the circuit due to it's LONG run of a 30A circuit. The longer the path, the more the voltage drop and maybe the AC motor is stalling resulting in much higher current...

Price/value

I only paid $73,000 for a new 2017 in November of 2017 so that does not sound like a great deal since you have NO Warranty and these RV's are very problematic. You will need to check all systems for...

knucklhead

I agree with knucklehead, use a "professional" to change your tires and let them take the risk of injury. At least they should have the proper equipment.

Assuming a 10,000 lb RV to start, 100 lb is a 1% increase in weight so the MPG drop should be less than 1% given that frontal area wind loss does not change. Has anyone ever stripped out an RV to...
