What have you fixed, repaired or maintained lately"

[markmiiler]

Just added four computer cooling fans in the roof exhaust for the Nocool fridge. Waiting for thermostat switch to be delivered to finish install. The freeze is under zero and fridge is 34. I hope all is a success!

Replaced the front crankshaft seal on my Onan generator and repairing my Aquahot. Need to recharge the a/c and wash the coach.

Next will be the furnace. It was working good, then all of a sudden it would run the fan for a few minutes then it would turn off, not igniting. So I have to find out what is causing it not to ignite. Never worked on a furnace S-42 Suburban before, so it is going to be a challenge for me. Good thing my coach was equipped with two heat pumps that worked pretty good, but going to Yosemite it might get real cold. LOL!

when my furnace did that, it turned out that the propane regulator was bad. If your stove won't support more than one burner and the flame has a lot of orange/yellow, it may be the regulator.

The three burners all have blue flame. So back to checking the furnace. I have not had time to check it out yet, but eventually I will have to tackle that problem. Right now I have been using the heat pumps. Thanks for the tip though.

The list of things repaired is way to long so I'll stick to the latest three items that just happened. The aux compressor for the air leveling seems to have died, a small chip in the windshield I had repaired two years ago just turned into a two foot crack, and I lost a front hubcap somewhere while crossing the desert. Oh, I just found out that AAA decided to raise my comprehensive deductible from $100 to $250. That bit of news was buried on page 6 of the policy renewal form. It never ends.

Well,
For starters, I change oil on the big beast, 19 qts and a filter, no issues. But, the really big deal is, I changed the QD 7500 fuel filter WITHOUT GETTING FUEL ALL OVER THE PLACE as has been reported by many on here and other RV forums. It did drip a few drops but, I was ready for that. So, to me, this was a great victory. Now, on to other maintenance for our upcoming trip.

DH is cleaning the roof in prep for giving it a coat of some kind of roofing product. The old coating from before we bought it is gone in many places exposing the rubber roof.

Since I have owned our old Coachmen for only a month, the list is not as lengthy as it will be in a couple more months. I have just finished removing the kitchen cabinets and replacing the subfloor in the kitchen area. I am also replacing the counter top with the same OEM laminate surface. These sustained water damage from a faulty window drain and inattention by the PO. In my slack time I have also repaired the generator, which had not been run in several years. It has only 280 hours (1994 model). It needed a new fuel pump, carburetor cleaning, and cleaning the slip rings. Once it was repaired, I discovered the transfer switch was non-functional (probably why the generator hasn't been used). So a new one is on the way. I also repaired both A/C units, which had dirt dobber nests that had incapacitated the blowers. I still have to repair the gas gauge, and repair the dash A/C. I have yet to test the water system; am still hoping that there is something on this thing that is in working condition besides the engine!

Brad,

Nice list of accomplishments. I'm impressed!!! You don't look old enough to be much out of high school or maybe that's a picture of your Son?? Are you retired or just rebuilding an older RV because you can. Well at least from your list it appears you can do the rebuilding.

You don't have to answer just curious.

I first saw your handle when you were working on the brakes. If you get into the NW corner of AR give me a shout. We're only about 5 hours from FW.

Thank you. Actually I'm 46 years old, so up there, but not old enough to afford anything really nice yet, so old one with some elbow grease it is.

Dave-O: my Suburban 42 did something similar, finally found a loose and burnt 12V spade connector at the power panel.

Good luck.
