It’s causing me to gain weight!

So long as no recipes are posted no one can be blamed for causing another's weight gain.

So Traygar are you going to post or just Lurk?

It will be lurkers who kill this thread unless they are just looking for recipes.

What has the world come to. Some friends ask us to meet them at a local pizza place last night.

We all ordered sandwiches!

Who knows next week we may go to KFC and order burgers!

Did the sandwiches come on Italian bread? Nuff said!

Thread killers, I think I’ve got a problem!
BIL got him a nice TT that has been setting for a great number of years. Well of course he calls me. It had been redone many years back but the old man that he got it from said that as far as he knew everything worked. Problem was he hadn’t step foot in it in years. The skylight over the shower was leaking so I replaced it with flat plexiglass.

This was an old family friend that literally was going into a nursing home the next day. BIL made a good deal and I helped him get it home. Love jobs that they paint over the wiring so with a little RV knowledge and a lot of luck I got thr 12V lights and water pump to work. Next was the 110v which got the AC, Fridge and plug-in s to working.

We disconnected the propane lines and blew them out and got the stove burners to light . Problem now is the furnace. The fan will come on but after many, many tries there was never any furnace ignition. I’ve exhausted all my RV skills both banging and cussing it. Any ideas?

On mine, there's a fuse inline to the power under the fridge where the furnace is located. I had a similar condition where it'd try to fire but nothing would happen. Turned out that fuse controlled the ignitor and once the fuse was replaced, I had heat.

Just guessing, it could be something entirely different.

Was the fuse on the furnace itself?
I have found no 12v fuses anywhere in camper. It’s only a 18 ft camper and there are lots of wires. Furnace fan does come on.
I’ll look into that further Monday, this WE it VA time.

Hear quite often about a "sail switch" as problems on gas furnaces for not firing. Dont have any idea of what it is or if I even spelled it right but whenever they are talking about it the problem seems to be fixed.

Three switches that could cause the problem.
Sail switch, glass eye switch and thermostat switch. Sail switch is a common problem, will check that next week!

Fuse was inline on the 12v wiring that is under the fridge and connects to the furnace. I don't even remember how I found it but when the furnace wasn't working, looking around under the fridge I saw that fuse and it wound up being my problem.
