Hello iRV2 Members, I own a 2015 (chassis),2017 MAD Weekender that we really like. I purchased the unit from a private party that didn't know anything about the Weekender. As such, I've never had an orientation around it's operation. I have a few questions to ask. If you have some experience that would be super.
1. Electrical Stability - The power to the coach area seems to be very unstable. I called Xantrex to to confirm the power of the inverter. I believe it's 2000 watts. Has anyone had a similar issue?
2. I've owned my Weekender for 2 years but have never tried to shower. The other day I attempted to turn on the water but no luck. The water works in the sink and toilet but nothing comes out of the shower head? Any idea if there is value somewhere for me to enable?
3. How to seal the shower seams? The seams on the wall corners are drying out and separating a bit. What would be the best option for re-sealing them?
4. Antifreeze Removal - My Weekender initially came to California from St. Louis. Because of the cold the dealer put the red antifreeze liquid in the water system. I've run tons of water through the sink and still can't get thee taste out of the water. Is there something safe that I could add to the tank to remove the foul taste?
5. My Weekender has a small antenna behind the Awning in the rear. I've called the folks at MAD to ask about it. However, they do not know what it's for. Anyone know what the small rear antenna is connected to inside the van?
6. My Weekender came with a Winegard Satellite TV antenna. We use our hot spot for media access. So never used the big antenna on top. Has anyone removed that unit and replaced it with the smaller cellular and wifi extender from Winegard?
7. Intense interior rattling: I've removed all personal items from the Weekender and un-installed the aluminum blind rails trying to stop the rattling. Still no luck. Checked the Fantasic Fan. Seems okey. The rattling is up in the cabinet and shower areas. I've wrapped the shower fixture with cloth too. Any ideas on how to quiet down the coach portion of the RV?
Sorry for all the questions. All the best.
