    Running 12 volt electric lines alongside gas lines...

    Is it safe to run 12 volt electric lines alongside the gas lines? I just finished installing tank heaters to my Salem. I ran the wiring along the right side of the frame, which seemed easiest as that is where I decided to place the switch cluster inside the trailer. I drilled into the floor of...

    Automatic Fire Suppression in rv gas/electric refrigerator compartment.

    I have seen many post and news stories of RV fires, they seem to mostly originate in the fridge compartment. I spotted a fairly new product that seems like it would be perfect for fire suppression in an RV or home etc There is nothing to do to make it work, no pins to pull, nozzles to spray...

    How to remove gas struts on dormer A214HW

    The bottom bracket on my A214HW door side dormer gas strut is pulling out. It has screws and nothing else to secure it. I did find information on repairing it, but it involved removing the gas strut. I know nothing about struts. Does my camper need to be fully raised to remove the strut or...

    Gas price increase affecting your travel plans

    Hello fellow RVERS. Just wondering what is the price level that will cause you to rethink planning a 7 to 10 day trip for price and distance. Mine is $4.00 per gallon and 500 miles in distance each way max. At my 8.5 mpg it would cost me about $500 in gas and if I drove one of my cars it would...

    Suburban Propane Water Heater Won't Light

    Let me start by saying I have found a LOT of useful info in this section of the forum, but my situation seems to be a little different. When I go to turn on the water heater to use gas, the lighted switch comes on (see attached photo), but nothing else happens. What USED to happen is that the...

    Gas Grill less hot

    Our Suburban gas grill suddenly is significantly less hot than it was when new even when turned fully on. I am interested in ideas to troubleshoot if there is a blockage in the grill or in the line connected to our Travel Trailer's propane system.

    Water Heater Flame lingers after gas shuts off

    Hey folks, I'm new here and just bought a used Forest River Flagstaff trailer. One thing that concerns me is a small flame that persist once the water is heated and the gas shuts down. Is this normal? Seems a bit close to some of the wires above it. Is this normal? I hope the image I'm...

    Gas Furnace Vibration Noise

    So my gas furnace works great in heating up my camper however when I lay down I can hear a strong vibrations probably from the blower. When I'm standing or sitting it's pretty subtle but as soon as I lay down, even with a few pillows I feel like I'm sleeping above a night club. Is this normal...

    Door gas strut failure

    Well. I hope this might help someone. We have a 2016 Sunseeker 2400R MBS. After 4 years the entry door gas strut failed. I found the model number (200 20 inch 20 lbs) and found a new one on eBay. $12.00 plus $10.00 shipping. Put it on and oh no! The door jam connector was too large to allow the...

    Gas pistons not compressing

    I recently had to remove the gas pistons under our bed. I removed the screws holding the pistons in place and removed the them. Now to put the pistons back in place I used the same holes to screw in the brackets, simple, right. Problem is the pistons will not move, I can not depress them to...

    Gas Generator Etiquette

    We are newbies and are taking our first 3 day trip to see a city's zoo. We don't have a toad, so will go from the RV park to the zoo's parking lot in the RV. My question, is it OK to leave the gas powered generator running for the A/C while we are in the zoo, or is it bad form, lol? That is one...

    Found my water heater - is it gas/electric or just gas?

    Thanks all so much for the help on my last post, I found the water heater! I read the thread with six posts, all set to start, but the stickers inside the heater area are all worn or torn off. I attach a pic (my fifth wheel is a 2004). The black strip in the middle with two circles is labeled...

    Gas-Powered Sprinter

    I received an announcement today from my far-away (2.5 hours) Mercedes dealer describing "breaking news" ala Lester Holt. It appears they will have a gas-fueled engine available soon. Has anyone heard more, specs, plans for manufacturers to build RV's on this new platform?

    Gas can?

    I need a good gas can to bring for my generator and an easy way to store it. I heard the metal Jerry cans are good; I'm having trouble finding metal ones that look decent.. What are the best options (with links if possible?) and where is everyone storing it on a fifth wheel RV? Thanks!

    Campground in Vegas

    Staying at circus circus RV campground. Figured I’d fill you guys in on it. 1. It’s simple, no frills. Basically a paved lot with hookups. 2. No WiFi (I know, this sucks) 3. Amazing non-stop dedicated RV lot security. They ride bikes around the lot 24x7. Awesome. Not many amenities...
