    How To Remove a Rear Fender Wheel Opening

    Here is the response I received from Newmar: If at all possible, I would recommend taking the coach to the body shop as it's not easy to remove/replace that fender. I'll do my best to explain since we don't have written instructions with pictures that I could send. There is usually one screw...

    How To Remove a Rear Fender Wheel Opening

    I’ve had a little damage to the fiberglass rear wheel opening. I would like to remove the entire fender wheel opening. Is there a series of bolts up, under the wheel opening? Any advice/experiences? Can it be done? 2017 Ventana LE 4037

    Question Disconnect batteries circuit for storage

    On my '17 I found that there was only a battery switch for the chassis battery and the "salesman switch". The salesman switch only disables parts of the circuitry, causing a house battery drain. I installed a dual circuit battery switch to completely disconnect ALL power from the house...

    A Tale About a Small World

    I have an On-The-Go water softener. To regenerate this unit, a cap must be removed from the top to introduce the sodium chloride. The torque needed to remove this cap sometimes exceeds the grip on these old hands. To that end, I made a handle to aid in this operation. From the ole woodshop, I...

    Furnace floor vents

    My 2017 LE 4037 has the vent you are asking about. When zone 1 is operating, I indeed get air from the vent. I have read a few posts about improperly installed ducting. I would be using a mirror, a GoPro camera or a fiberoptic viewer to look into the vent to see if there is a blockage...

    Shortest sewer hose?

    This is intended for connecting to the park's pipe, but it could be used for your application. Some PVC fittings to adapt to the end and you'd be done. You asked for a short sewer pipe. https://www.amazon.com/Camco-39319-Flexible-RhinoExtreme-Connection/dp/B07FJFZPHL?tag=rvf01-20

    Starting to get frustrated

    1. Politely inform him that this is the last piece of advice you're offering. Further tell him about steps #2 and 3 you'll be taking (below) 2. If he calls again, ignore and do not answer. 3. If he calls again, block the number.

    Truck/trailer versus Class A/toad

    Factor in your transportation modes once at a destination. Sometimes a truck large enough for towing is overlarge when going for groceries or errands. I see it over and over again with people that cannot handle a huge truck in the parking lots. With a motorhome towing, the towed vehicle is what...

    A BIG Thank You To Bauer Upholstery

    Our 2017 was stricken by the crumbling upholstery syndrome, like so many others of that era. Although up front, the cost to recover the 2 captain's chairs seemed a little steep, upon receiving the kits, it is obvious how much work is involved in making one of these covers. I had never done any...

    FYI Wire joining tips

    Wago is the "gold standard", but sometimes hard to find. Lowe's carries Ideal, which has a competing item in reusable lever wire clamps.

    Question What do you shut off when storing RV

    The "salesman switch" does not completely isolate the batteries from the devices. I can't tell you exactly what is or is not disconnected using that switch. Every coach model is different. I can say that after I installed a manual double post battery disconnect in the battery bay, along with the...

    FYI Tow bar sway - quiet hitch

    I use two hitch stabilizers, but made my own. Since I am trying to minimize lateral slop, I put mine on 90 degrees to what is "normally" done. Essentially they clamp and tighten sideways. I use 2 stabilizers: one on the drop hitch to coach and the other at the drop hitch to tow bar. The result...

    Winterize question

    I start by removing the water heater drain plug (be sure to have opened a faucet to reduce the line pressure). I then place the hot water supply lines into the bypass mode. This is to prevent the final step from filling the heater with anti-freeze. I leave out the drain plug until it's time to...

    A Shout-Out to a Vendor for Great Customer Service

    I recently bought a 7 blade to 6 pin RV to toad umbilical cable. I bought it from an eBay seller in July '23. It sat around until the next trip which was the end of September '23. The very first connection, the outer plastic coating cracked. Hmmm, that's odd. Oh well, gotta go. By the time I got...

    Which motorhome would you have diesel pusher or gas?

    I started with a 28' Ford chassis class A. I threw a lot of time, effort and dollars at it to improve the handling and ride. I made it better, but it was still fatiguing to drive. Sawing the wheel every time a vehicle passes is ridiculous. After switching to a 40' Freightliner chassis, I'd never...
