    I would spend a couple bucks and switch all the lights to nice warm LED's. It would probably help ease the stress on the generator and would help minimize that extra bit of heat. It looked like the generator wasn't super well ventilated but I suppose it's either ventilation or noise. This is 10000% one of the coolest rigs you've snagged in a hot minute

    Internal lights are 12 v. The generator is fan cooled and the vents are much more than enough to meet cooling requirements. As to load on the generator, lights are no load at all. For a Class A motorhome with a single AC unit the generator likely is a 5 KW and Dometic is a second/third tier quality gen set.

    Randy, your electrical gremlins that you're experiencing is probably due to weak HOUSE BATTERIES (the 6 Volt Deep Cycle ones). Get your batteries checked at your earliest convenience. Before you do any extensive time on the road, check the production dates on the tires (all 6) and check your tire pressures all around. RVs tend to blow-out the inner dually tires with regularity when not inflated properly. Harbor Freight has an attachment for your cordless drill that spins and can be used to remove those graphics that are peeling. I've had 6 RVs since 1985, all types and sizes of motorhomes. Just about anything that can happen to an RVer has happened to me! Looks like your tailpipe mounting bracket is disconnected where you're experiencing the fuel leak.

    I suggest that you read all of the manuals before you start just trying to use everything. As for the refrigerator, it may be unplugged which is accessible from the exterior of the RV through a hatch right behind the refrigerator. The oven will only light once the pilot is lit which requires the oven knob to be pressed in and held in until the pilot is lit and stays lit which takes about a minute. You have a lot of learning to do about RV’s even if you plan on selling it right away.

    Randy, I am not certain but your awning appears to be either a Carefree of Colorado or an A and E awning. In either case, there should be a long metal rad with a hook in the end that engages the travel locks on either end of the top of the awning - then with the awning released from its secure travel position it is pulled open (there should be a fabric pull strap near the center of the awning that the hook on the metal rod can be used to pull). Once the awning is fully extended, each awning arm is extended - the arm furthest from the door is one notch lower than the one nearest door so that rain will drain should a rain storm come up before you can get the awning retracted,

    Propane ovens usually have a pilot light. Usually under the oven, most often with a thermocouple that sits right in front of the pilot light. Should be a button you hold down while holding a flame under the thermocouple. When the thermocouple reaches the proper temperature it opens the gas valve for the pilot light which will then light. Oven should now work. Read your manual for the stove. There may be a pilot light for the top burners. Suggest you read your manuals for your other accessories.

    I recommend holding the oven valve in so gas can get to the pilot, light it and continue holding the valve in for about a minute then release it and it should stay lit. Using a lighter to heat the thermocouple can overheat the lighter which can be dangerous. A friend used to do it your way and the lighter overheated and stayed in the lit position which he didn’t notice when he sat it down and caught his RV’s carpet on fire.

    You need a pressure regulator for the water when you hook up to city water. Before you get the refrigerator going check for damage at the exhaust pipe for it to see that it isn't leaking.

    Also will accelerate the exhaust flow with the heat staying in the pipe. Hot air is less dense, so makes it easier for the engine to evacuate the spent gasses out the exhaust valves. This can increase output power and make the engine more efficient on fuel.

You need to loosen the 2 knobs on each leg of the awning and pull down. There are also latches that you release to jack the awning up higher. The legs can also fold out for a conventional awning but I never pull them out. Hope this helps! Nice rv!

    First turn off your hose to the RV the pipes can not handle city pressurer. You need a RV city water pressure regulator. It will blow out your water pipe valve. Second fix your ⛽ leak ASAP. I know tons about motorhomes as I am a RV technician. . The generator will cut off when your gas tank falls to 1/4 a tank. Check the breaker's for the generator. The fridge can run off 110 or propane. You need to have your RV level for the fridge to properly work. Also consider switching all the lights to LED. 2700 is a great deal you can easily get 8000 - 20,000 for her a good median price is around 14k. If you sell it. list it for 20k let them talk you down to 14k. No less. Good luck Randy

    Randy, great score. I am a Full Timer for 17 years now and on my 4th RV. There's a lot to learn. Be sure your hot water tank is full before turning on. Plenty of summer left to try it out and doing it in the yard even better. LUCK ! Most RV's have a master cutoff switch that separates the house batteries from everything and also have a transfer relay that functions when you turn on the generator while plugged into shore power. Also known as a pass thru relay. House or coach batteries are separate from chassis battery. Maybe not on an older rig like yopurs. The transfer switch may be located near the house batteries. The captains chairs, pilot and co-pilot may be able to be rotated , look for a lever on the side to pull and turn the chair at the same time. The back bedroom with the late day sun on it will build up heat in the walls and then radiate it back into the coach. The water heater and fridge seem to have manual switches to go between propane and electric. Todays have automatic sw's. IRV2 is a great forum for looking up and getting fresh info. There are many RV DIY'ers that will help you just watching what they've done PIPPI Peterson Gone with the Wynn's are 2 I like

    You got an amazing deal, one, if you have to go far to pick up other vehicles they pull great. But the oven, it has a safety, you have to push the button in where it says light or pilot. Only pilot will light hold for a full min. Then when ya let off it knows its safe, then just turn up knob and it will ignite burner. Also just to let ya know, i leave mine plugged in to house year round to leave fridge on and it keeps battery’s charged. I love the price that was such a deal. Congrats

    Yup propane RV fridges use an absorbtion cooling system. They don't get cold super fast and they don't make ice or freeze unfrozen things that we'll but they keep stuff cold. It uses amonia refrigerant and the propane runs a flame that heats the amonia to boil it and similar to a compressor system uses the change in state from gas to liquid to produce the cooling for the interior of the fridge the reason they usually stop working on the electric side is the heating element goes bad and needs replaced.

  • @sithyarael6807
    @sithyarael6807 Жыл бұрын

    Time for a lot of carb rebuilds. The propane heats up the coolant in the fridge unit and then it goes thru a condenser which makes it cold. Same sorta way an AC/Fridge works just more like a heat pump does to cool the house. Delete that Cali emissions and that should fix your fuel leak. 3 D Cell MagLight that got to be worth some money now days since it still works. Hell might pay for the cost you spent on this motor home. There should be a rod for the awning to roll it out after you unlock it. I forget what bit is on the end been a while since I have used one.

    You need to push the stove button in , that opens the valve then light it. You have to make sure the pilot stays lit . You should have a water pressure regulator on from city water so it's not to much pressure. The refrigerator uses a ammonia system. It gets hot outside the refrigerator to make the inside cold. It could be a fuse on the main board not letting the electric work on the fridge.

    If I had it I would do the following: 1. New fresh, grey and black tanks because 40 year old plastic will leak on you. 2. fix the gas tank and inspect the fuel lines. 3. replace all the lights with LED's 4. take the carpet out of the bathroom and put in tile 5. replace anything propane. Number one cause of RV fires is the propane fridge. 6. Replace the tires. 7. upgrade to a better generator 8. Put solar on the roof, LiPo batteries , an automatic transfer switch between city power, alternator power (oh and yes put in a beefier alternator and have it charge the batteries while driving) basically do the whole solar setup. 9. Replace the TV and other electronics with modern equipment. So add about $10k in upgrades. Let's not forget a major service on the mechanicals.

  • @docgiggles130

    If you do go to an RV park, the generator will not be allowed to be run during "quiet hours." Replace your batteries! Next, have at least 3 fire extinguishers in it at all times. Do not trust the ones that are in it now. They are old and most likely will not work. Follow the fuel line all the way from the tank to the engine. My family had a motorhome like this one and the line was run too close to the exhaust causing it to vapor lock on almost every hill. Insulate the line if it is within 24". Check to make sure there no wire harnesses near the exhaust. We had another motorhome catch fire when the insulation around the wires melted due to the heat from the exhaust. Took 6 fire extinguishers to put it out (and keep it out) until we were able to disconnect the batteries. Unless you drive it all the time, install a battery cut off switch. RV batteries are stupid expensive and a cut off switch will save them from being discharged. This will also help stop someone from stealing the RV. It does happen, even on old ones. Make sure your tires are not too old. As you can see, it's not easy to take a tire off so the last thing you want is to have one go flat because it got too old. Get wheel covers (look like the cloth cover you see on tires mounted on the back of vans/jeeps, but made to go on a tires when parked) for all the tires when it is sitting. Sun is the biggest killer for the tires and a cover will keep the tires good for longer (some people lean boards against them or wrap a tarp around the tires in winter, but tire covers look better and don't blow off.) Learn how to winterize this when summer is over. Water/waste tanks will freeze and do a shocking amount of damage before you even know anything happened. Some will say all of these are not needed or a waste of time, but all of them will save more money in the long run
