Dennis, once you buy a MH you'll never have to worry about being bored again!

Hi Dennis; Sorry to hear the drivers side window you repaired a number of years ago is failing again. When I acquired our 01 Windsor the drivers side window was fogged. I decided to have RV Glass Solutions in Coburg Oregon to replace with a single pane of glass. They had shown tests that the single glass pane they used was almost the same thermal value of the double pane so I went for it. Now no worries on fogging ever again. While I was there one of the tech's showed me a coach they were replacing all the windows with single pane. It's something to consider so you will never have to do it again. There is nothing more aggravating to have to do a job twice. Hope you find a solution and let us know what happens. Have a great week!

Always work to do on them but it sure beats dragging suitcases in and out of hotels.

I bought the jc refrig 12v compressor cooling unit. Installed myself. Could not be happier a year later.

We installed one of their 120 ac units about a year ago and it works great. Keeps icecream rock hard. You won't be disappointed. Ordered the unit from JC refrigeration and installed ourselves.

I think the term for my coach is “If it ain’t fixed, mess with it”. Keeps me not only busy but confused.

That's funny.. Whaaa! why are there so many air bags.

The only thing that actually broke this summer was the wash machine fill valves, that I'm aware of. Everything else was aging out or existing, so take heart, it does allow us to take a breath.

4 on each axle and two on the tag axle.

Hi Dennis, I had the same problem with foggy windows on my 2003 Scepter. There are professionals that do these repairs but I repaired my own. Wasn’t too difficult. I found the instructions on this forum. Bought the supplies from DK Hardware.
The newer spacers use a desiccant that absorbs the moisture between the glass panes.

Last month my dash AC compressor locked up on my 2002 Damon Cat Diesel pusher. First time ever working on an AC unit. Ended up replacing the compressor, condenser, condenser fan, accumulator, hi/lo pressure switch, expansion valve, and had to flush the lines about 30 times to get all the desiccant beads out. Learned so much in the process. Problems are a challenge yes but also a blessing by improving yourself. Its just how you look at things!!
