Well, we got a new Beauty Rest mattress for it yesterday, the old one was the wrong size and pretty scurvy looking, so we opted for a very soft queen size mattress and slept like babies last night
It's a full size queen, but only about 3 inches overhang the end the of the bed, kinda glad I didn't spend the extra to buy a custom size one.
Woke up to 1.5 inches of brown water in the bottom of my shower, which freaked me out thinking it was black tank backup, but luckily it ended up being gray tank water. We went and dumped first thing this morning, apparently the vent on the roof must be open to the elements because it rained last night.
One more thing to get fixed.
Anyways, I finally got my voltage meter working last night and went out early this morning, found which terminal was 12v on the house battery, hooked up the jumper cable between it and the positive terminal on the chassis batteries, went inside and the invertor showed it was pushing 40a charge. Waited until it was down to the 10a light and went out and checked, 12.8v after removing the jumper cable.
Went inside, put the key in and turned to run, nada, no dash lights, no low air squeal, nothing. Generator wouldn't crank. Started the generator off the house batteries and let go of the boost button, and it immediately turned off. So I'm pretty sure I've got a bad wire somewhere, probably a ground.
Hoping when I find and fix it, it may resolve the chassis battery charging issue as well.
I have it parked at a friends office parking lot for the night, will check in the morning and see what the voltage is at on the chassis batteries then.
Still haven't had any luck finding the valve for the hot water yet. Invited all my friends over who have had or currently own a camper, and none of them can find it either, so I don't feel too stupid. Going to take it to the local RV dealer and see if one of their techs can point it out to me.
I talked to the company who winterized it the year it was seized and he had no recollection of doing it, and apparently is a one man operation and a very crotchety old fellow. Sounded like he had no interest on working on any motorhomes, he only wants to deal with trailers.
