Starter Won’t Stop Running 
Question: On my 1991 Rockwood Driftwood Series 7.5L, it will start but the starter wont stop even when we turn the motorhome off. We have to take the battery cable off to stop it. How do we fix this? We just replaced the starter and solenoid.

Answer: Unfortunately, it seems you may have fixed the wrong problem. Since you have already replaced the starter and solenoid then our best guess that the pinion gear in the starter is not retracting sufficiently to turn power off to the starter and it continues to run.

It could also be that the starter is not properly aligned or needs a shim or two to get to its correct alignment. Another thought is that your problem could be in your ignition switch or you have a wiring problem. You will need to trace the wiring from the starter back to determine where the problem resides. This may or may not be an easy thing to do, so our best advice is that you seek professional help to fix your starter problem.

Surface of Fiberglass Travel Trailer 

Question: Is a raised welt-like line (not a bump), on the outside surface of a fiber glass travel trailer a problem?

Answer: It might be. We suggest you have it diagnosed at an RV service facility that specializes in fiberglass work. Maybe get a couple opinions. Naturally, such a service center will want the business of repairing the problem, but hopefully with a couple opinions, you can get a sense of how serious it is.

The root cause could be water damage, or it could just be a cosmetic defect in the fiberglass. Try to get some input on the source of the problem and best guesses on whether it will get worse.

RV Toilet Paper 
Question: Do you really have to buy RV toilet paper, or is a brand such as Scott’s okay to use?

Answer: There may be different opinions on this subject, but we can tell you what we do ourselves. And there is a test you can use to assess solubility of different brands.

We use Scott’s 1000 sheet toilet paper. It is a 1-ply paper that we have found dissolves easily. We have been using it for years and not had a problem.

You may be able to use a 2-ply sheet if you find something that dissolves easily. We haven’t pursued this because we are fine with what we have been usuing.

The important thing is to find a product that is readily water soluble. To test this out, fill an empty jar (like a quart mayo jar) about half full of water. Put in a sheet or two of your toilet paper. Shake the jar rapidly for a few seconds. If the toilet paper falls apart, it is a good choice for your RV holding tank.

Reader 1: I poured 1 cup of water into a pint jar. I made 4 jars like this. Then I added 2 sheets of tissue to each jar…one Charmin, one MembersMark, one RV tissue, and one Angel Soft. I then put lids on each jar, gave each one a quick “downward motion”, almost a shake, and set it on the counter.

Charmin was the only one that didn’t immediately look like “feathers in water.” They broke down right away, and the Charmin broke down when I moved the jars later – so it doesn’t take much jostling to get them to break down.

Trailer or RV? For road trip in US & Canada  
Question: We are planning on an extensive road trip throughout the USA and Canada and are having a hard time between deciding whether to purchasing an Rv 21′-25′ or a trailer. There seem to be pros and cons for each. Our main concern is when visiting larger cities of trying to find parking and negotiating the street, as I would assume that most camp sites a little out of town, whereas if we had a trailer we could park and drive into the cities.

We are green horns at this so would REALLY appreciate any input from any seasoned travellers. Any other hints or advise would be most appreciated. Many thanks!

Answer: Only you can answer that question. Most Motor Home Rv people I have seen usually pull a car with them. If you already have a small car that can be put on a dolly for towing all you need is the coach and a dolly. We have just downgraded our camper from a 5th wheel to a travel trailer because our truck is becoming unreliable and the cost to purchase a good truck to pull a 5th wheel is outrageous. The next truck will be a 1/2 ton version. There are lots of them around at a reasonable price. A smaller truck is easier to handle in tight city parking also. If you already own a tow vehicle and can pull a travel trailer that is the route I would suggest. We just bought a 22′ Viewfinder. It’s great for the two of us. Maybe an occasional grandchild or two.

Stairs 
Question: After the stairs go down, the stair motor will not stop running and I have to disconnect the 12 volt to make it stop. And then it runs as soon as I reconnect the 12 volt (vehicle battery). What could be the problem?

Answer: Without knowing the make or model of electric steps in your RV, we can only offer some general suggestions. One guess is
that perhaps the steps have a faulty limit switch. This is a switch that senses when the steps are fully extended and stops the motor. So if the limit switch is bad, the motor doesn’t know that its job is done, doesn’t know that the steps are extended and so it keeps running.

In some steps, such as the popular Kwikee brand electric stairs, the circuit board controls when the motor runs and stops. There could be a failure in the circuit board causing the motor to run continuously.

Another source of the problem might be stripped gears in the motor.

You might want to contact the manufacturer of your steps to see if they can help troubleshoot the problem and tell you how to fix it.

Water Smelling 
Question: Why does my water smell like rust in my camper?

Answer: The rust smell might be coming from your water source or your hot water tank. If the source of the rust smell is the outside water supply, you can try to get rid of the smell by filtering your water with a good whole house filter that eliminates rust, chlorine and other tastes.

Another source of rust smell could be your hot water tank. If it is your hot water tank then it will need to be drained and flushed. This is something that should be done every year anyway.

Unwieldy Mattress 

Question: We just bought a small Jayco with a queen mattress in the rear corner with storage underneath. I’m finding it very hard to lift the mattress up for storage access as it is heavy, floppy, bends … and snags on the window hardware to boot. The back half of the plywood support underneath is nailed in place and the other half lifts from the piano hinge running down the middle.

Once I manage to get the mattress high enough, the raised half-lid will support it up out of my way. Any practical, lightweight suggestions to getting at the storage without wrecking my aging back?

Answer: Any suggestions are welcome! Sounds like your mattress lifting arrangement is a bit more difficult than ours. Not having a real appreciation for your configuration, you might want to look into gas struts to help lift the hinged panel. A lighter mattress also comes to mind.

Slow Running Kitchen Water 
Question: I have a Class C motorhome, Four Winds 28a. I have very slow running water (both hot and cold) from the kitchen faucet. The bathroom, shower and outdoor shower are fine, but the kitchen comes out very slow. This is the same whether I am hooked up to city water or use the water pump.

What could cause this?

Answer: It seems that you may have an obstruction in the faucet. The most likely culprit is the aerator at the end of the faucet. First step is to remove the aerator from the faucet (it unscrews) and clean it out well.

Next with the aerator off the faucet, open both the hot and cold water fully to flush out the line. Make sure no one else has a faucet open, you want full power. If you get a good stream of water then the aerator was at fault and just clean or replace it.

If the water still does not come out full force, then you may have kinked or obstructed supply lines. I think this would be unlikely, but if it is the case then you will have to trace the lines back to source of the problem or have a repair facility help you in diagnosing the problem.

Another possibility is that you have a clogged filter that only services your kitchen faucet, although it is uncommon to have a filter placed on the both the cold and hot water side.

Another long shot is that you may also have a water consumption reducer as part of the aerator assembly, although it is not likely. It is possible that a broken or misaligned reducer could cause slow water flow, but there are too many different configurations in faucet assemblies to go into any detail about how to troubleshoot this.

Power Plug

Question: While in storage someone pulled my power plug out of the camper and when I checked on the camper the plug was sitting in water. Will this create any type of problem?

Answer: We aren’t electricians, so we really can’t say. Perhaps things might be okay if you make sure the plug is thoroughly dry before you try to use it again. But we welcome electrical expertise on this question.

Trip across country 

Question: My wife and I plus 3 small dogs are planning on a trip from Washington state to NJ and then down the east coast to Alabama. From there to the Grand Canyon, on to San Diego, then up to WA.
This is a one time trip to visit family on the east coast & see some of the country. I’m not sure if renting a 25/26 class “C” RV or buying a older used class “C”, with the capability to tow a small SUV, is the right way to go. This will be our first time in a RV. We plan to take four/five weeks for the full trip.

Answer: We invite other opinions on this question. Here are a few comments of our own.

  • You will have to weigh the alternatives of renting versus buying (financial and otherwise), but if you have never been RVing, it might be best to rent and have a safety net with the rental company if something should malfunction.
  • If you do buy a used RV with an intent to tow, you will have to set things up to tow the SUV (base plates, tow bar, cables, etc.)
  • At the end of the trip you will have an RV on your hands to try to sell, store, etc. This might be a good thing if you plan to use it again, but not so good if this is truly a one-time trip.
  • Be sure you have realistic expectations on how much time it will take you to drive, visit, sightsee. Figure in some leeway to handle delays and avoid going at too hectic a pace.
  • If you have never traveled in an RV, do some reading and/or get a good walkthrough so you know how to operate the different components. Also know how you will get help if something breaks or you need roadside assistance.

Tie Down RV 

Question: I have a 35 foot fifth wheel. It is properly leveled on wooden blocks. Is it necessary for it to be tied down? The RV sits on a concrete slab.

Answer: We don’t know of any reason to tie down a fifth wheel that is only temporarily in a campground.

However, if the fifth wheel is in a permanent park location for an extended period of time, there may be local ordinances that apply. If you are permanently placing the fifth wheel, check with the campground management regarding any specific local rules or ordinances.

Seals on Roof Accessories  
Question: As a rule of thumb, how often should seals be replaced on roof-mounted features/accessories (Skylights, air conditioner, antenna, etc.)?

Answer: You should always follow your manufacturers recommendation on inspecting and refreshing your seals. The owners manual should also recommend specific sealants that are compatible with your specific roofing materials.

For instance I have a fiberglass roof and my manufacturer recommends inspecting all penetrations on a yearly basis and resealing where needed. I have had to replace the caulking around a skylight and around the satellite antenna when I had to replace them.

I do a thorough inspection and reseal upper (roof) and lower belt lines, around all marker lights, windows and the refrigerator vent on a yearly basis. I replace caulking when it stops looking smooth, I see visible cracks/voids or when I suspect a leak.

If you are concerned about the seal under the air conditioner then I would suggest looking at your air conditioner owners manual and torque down the seal to the correct specification. If the seal is at its correct torque and it still leaks then you will have to replace the seal.

Splendide 
Question: If we purchase an RV with a Splendide combo unit, do we have to be hooked up to water in order to use it or can we dry camp and use our fresh water supply?

Answer: It is possible. You will have to run your generator to provide electricity for the washer/dryer. You can use your fresh water supply – your water pump will get the water to the machine.

However, bear in mind that while dry camping, water conservation is usually important. If you run the machine, you will end up using a fair amount of fresh water to run the wash and rinse cycles, and will fill up your gray water tank quicker as well. The water pump will operate on your battery, although the generator will recharge your battery simultaneously.

Check the specifications for the particular Splendide model you are considering. The Splendide website indicates that their machines use 9-16* gallons of water. (* Average. Your Splendide may use as little as 5 gal. per wash load.)

Water Pressure Regulator

Power Converters

Question: Is there oil in a power converter? We plugged into a 30 AMP and smoke was coming from what looked like our converter. Then oil was dripping from one corner. We have a Gulf Stream 5th wheel.

The dealer says a converter doesn’t have oil in it. Maybe it is from the slide hydraulics. The electrician says converters have oil in them.

Answer: Here is the short answer – get your RV to an RV service center. You do not want to mess around with smoke and dripping oil. We wouldn’t even attempt to diagnose something like this remotely.

Don’t take any chances – get your RV someplace where there are qualified RV techs who can look at the problem in person and resolve it for you.

Spare Tire 
Question: We have purchased a used 2001 39-foot Tiffin motorhome. It does not have a spare wheel and tire. Is that something I should invest in? The only place to put it would the basement, yet I cannot imagine getting such a heavy item out easily. We are novices and any advice would be appreciated.

Answer: It is not very practical to cart around a spare tire for a large motorhome. As you mention, it is difficult to store and manhandle such a large object.

We recommend a couple things. First, make sure you have good RV Emergency Roadside Assistance, designed for RVs.

Second, take very good care of your tires. This means keeping them properly inflated and covering them while stationary as protection from the sun and ozone.

And it also means replacing them every 5-7 years, regardless of whether they still appear to have sufficient tread. This interval of 5-7 years is recommended across the industry, due to the significant weight supported by your tires and the ongoing environmental damage. You do not want to have a blow-out, which could cause extensive, deadly and costly damage.

So, maintain your tires, be prepared with RV Emergency Roadside Assistance and hopefully you will never need a spare.

Towing combination 
Question: I have a 2012 Expedition and was wondering if I could pull a 35 foot camper with it, and would it be safe?

Answer: It is very important that you research any possible towing combination thoroughly and with a good understanding of the various RV weight definitions.

You may find this page on the Ford website to be of help: www.ford.com/expedition/specifications/towing.

We also suggest you consult the manufacture of both the tow vehicle and the camper to get their official standards for towing capabilities for the specific models involved. Also remember tongue weight.

We also suggest the following pages on our web site:

Travel Trailer Bearings 
Question: I have repacked trailer wheel bearings many times. Just take off the cap, remove cotter pin, back off the castellated nut, remove bearing clean, dry, and repack with new grease.

The problem is: No cotter pin, no keyway, no tabbed washer like on a outboard engine prop. The nut turns slightly in each direction but is stopped by something I can’t see.

How do I remove it? I was thinking off putting the wrench on it and force it of but I don’t want to break anything and get in a worse mess.

Answer: We really don’t have an answer to this, so we put your question out there in case others have ideas and will comment.

Televisions 
Question: Can a RV be wired so that all TV’s can be operated independent of each other?

Answer: You have many options where this is concerned. All of them are dependent on your TV Signal and where it comes from.

We don’t pretend to be experts in this area, but here’s a brief summary based on what we know:

  • If your TV signal is coming over the air from broadcast TV then all you need to do is tune the TV’s to different channels. You will of course require converter boxes if you have old TV’s or if new then they should already be High Definition compatible.
  • If your signal comes from a cable company, and you have cable ready TV’s then you just need to get a cable splitter and add a cable to the other TV. However, if you also have premium channels then you will need an additional cable box to get the premium channels.
  • If you are getting your signal from a satellite then you need at a minimum two separate satellite receivers from your satellite company, two separate LNBs and pay the satellite the additional fees. You will also need to add additional cabling from the satellite dish to the other satellite receiver. Check the latest capabilities with DIRECTV and DISH Network.

Traveling with full water tanks

Question: I was wondering if you travel with your fresh water at half full, would you not save a little on gas due to less weight?

Answer: We think there might be some improved fuel efficiency, but we have not done any testing to check it out. We make our decision on filling the fresh water tank based on how far we are traveling and how likely it is that we might want to boondock. We also tend to be prepared for any unexpected travel delay.
