Brake fluid attracts moisture. When brake fluid does "attract moisture" (aka water) it turns a very ugly color. It also lowers the boiling point of the brake fluid which can give you a poor stopping response. (There is a bit more detailed information located here.)
This is what brake fluid can look like if you do not maintain everything on the RV. (Don't believe everything the sellers tell you when you buy a used RV.)We now have a much better braking response from our Day Break.

okay- maybe we weren't in Seattle when this happened...but we were in Washington.
Unigard covers on your window awnings must not do much when your strap breaks into 3 pieces after only a handful of uses.
This happened on the July 4th weekend. No one was at Carefree so we ordered staps from Amazon. We had them delivered to us at Brazel's RV Center the next business day.
Shame on you "Carefree of Colorado" for using poor quality strap webbing on your not so cheap window awnings.

When the electrical got blown out on our 1995 Daybreak, we were told that there were no wiring schematics as everything was done by separate groups and nothing was standard. The wiring was never right after that. Still had a drain on the cab battery happening, couldn't track it down, so installed a bypass/disconnect switch.

I am going to apologize- but we have ever had any wiring diagrams- we have just dug in and traced them back the hard way. I can give you the Brochure PDF. I can also email the 1999 "Owners Manual" in PDF form if you PM me your email address.
Becky, my original straps failed rather quickly on my widow awnings too. What do now is to tuck them into awning as the last couple of inches is rolling up. I only have two awnings and can put them out and retract them through an open window. No awning hook needed. Don't know about yours, though.
You are correct- we don't need airbags if the springs are strong enough.
I will do a post by next Wednesday evening on the installation.
Here is a photo that shows you the bump-stop. The frame is in the background. You can see an "L' shape where the bump-stop has been hitting the frame. We now have a 2" clearance between the two.
Steve - They were original units-
We replaced them with Coleman-Mach 8's . We went with 15K air conditioner with heat pumps on both units.
I will try to do a post tonight when I get home showing the units and info on them.
