Technical Support / Re: TV live won’t come down

« Last post by David T. Richelderfer on Today at 02:06:40 PM »

TV live?  TV list?  Maybe TV lift?  We had a similar problem several years ago.  I finally discovered that the momentary toggle switch that raises/lowers the TV was bad.  I removed the switch and when I touched the wires together to complete the connection, the TV raised/lowered just fine.  I replaced the momentary switch.

Another time I had a problem when the lift linkage had slipped out of proper adjustment.  I readjusted the linkage and have not had a problem with it since... for several years now.

Technical Support / TV live won’t come down

« Last post by Fred Cook on Today at 01:33:09 PM »

We are currently on a trip and cannot get our TV list to come down from the ceiling. I checked all breakers and fuses in all looks good there. Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions on what to do?

Our front panel similarly split and curled, only ours had several horizontal splits across it.  I went to Harbor Freight and purchased several clamps, large and small ones, and went on Amazon to purchase two bottles of 3-hour epoxy, one bottle being the resin and the other being the hardener.  I would mix up small amounts of the epoxy and use a dental-like tool to apply it to the cracks and under the curled up burl layer as far as possible.  Then I covered the glued cracks with wax paper and clamped down the raised burl on each side of the cracks firmly flattened into place.  I did one linear crack at a time, one crack per day.

I also reglued all the cracks in the Mappa Burl on the cabinets and doors throughout the coach.  The one place I didn't get to is the bedroom side of the bathroom-to-bedroom pocket door. Yes, it was a several-week process.

The laminate in my front firewall by the entry door has start to split and separate. Any suggestion on a shop in the Phoenix/Tuscon area that may be able to resurface this? It's birdseye maple.

The relay box was to the rope light that had stopped working - we disconnected it and the ticking stopped. We will have to figure out how to replace the light in order to keep our RV at it's best, but until then we can now sleep. We made sure everything else was still connected - it's always a learning experience and this forum is the best. Appreciate everyone's time and concern!  Ante

Bobby,

I have 2 of the easy touch RV thermostats.  I purchased them for their WIFI connectivity, but I really like the way they work either through wifi or blue-tooth.  I keep my phone mounted on the dash, and from the drivers seat I can turn on/off, adjust the temperature of either AC unit as long as the generator is running.  I can also turn the AC units on or off through wifi from my phone if I am away from the RV as long as there is a cell signal.  When I pull it up it lets me see the inside temperature and see if the dogs are comfortable or not.
For me this has been worth the money.  They have worked great for the last 5 years or so, and when one of the first ones didn't work correctly they over-nighted a replacement as soon as I contacted them.  Could not have asked for better customer service.

If you call them before you buy I am sure they will walk you through what will or will not work in your situation

Hopefully this will help you some.

Nicholas,

If only one headlight is out I doubt it is the fuse or power out.   1st verify that you have 12 volts,or likely less going out to the headlight that is not working.  If there is no power there start tracing the power wire backwards toward the electrical panel.  At the same time check for good grounds along that circuit.  Unless your coach is different form mine both headlights are powered on the same circuit.
