OK, not that desperate, but help or ideas is greatly appreciated:
1) The ceiling and roof have a slight sag over the middle of the front driver-side slide. Noticed mostly because the wood trim keeps popping-off, but it also seems soft on top where the water pools. Being a newbie, I have no idea how to even inspect as I don't want to start ripping at the ceiling trim as I can't even find a video on how trim snaps in and out. My guess is an aluminum weld has broken up there, but I can't see to inspect without pulling back a little ceiling. Can anyone describe or link me to an appropriate video that can show me how to access just under the ceiling trim/headliner? (see pic)
2) Kitchen (passenger/front) slide retracts just fine. But, I park the coach for two days, and the bottom of the slide slips back out about an inch while parked. Happening consistently after parking just a day or two. The slide just extends about one inch with coach power turned on or off. (see pic)
3) I have a white CB antenna (standard??) that looks like it hit a tree or overpass...top 8 inches were taped together with duct tape. Antenna cable feeds to compartment next to driver seat. I plugged-in my cb and get good weather broadcast signal, but my range is less than a half-mile with the cb. To replace the antenna, does anyone know what brand I am replacing? Also, will I be able to feed the new cable up the side wall? Does a new antenna connect by screwing-in at the antenna base with no need to pull a new antenna wire? (see pic)
4) When I am storing the coach for a week or more...should I let the air out of the air suspension bags or leave them inflated?
I apologize even for just making this post...but I retire in 6 months and am trying to do this myself (and learn). I realize there are camps/sessions where I will learn this when I get on the road...but I'm not traveling much yet...that opportunity comes when I retire and have more camp friends...but today these items are frustrating me.
PS...I have entirely gutted 3 homes in my life...what a new experience RV's are. From screws, wiring, structure, and multitude of features...it appears the TV is the only thing I inherently know about the coach. At least the engine is familiar to me!
Thanks for any help...hope to meet many of you next year!
