For mine, at 112,000 miles: New transmission, $3400 New generator, $2200 New engine water pump, $600 (this one bugs me, I could've done it myself had I caught the problem) New fog lights, $20 I've done various other minor things but nothing that's more than a few bucks. Still to do: Find seat covers...

Do you worry about braking on the toad vehicle?

That's one of the reasons I went with the dolly - electric brakes.

I've added the WBCCI member number and join date to the profiles, and they should be visible when viewing someone's profile and on the left side of posts (such as mine).

This site lists an old recall (posted in 1995) about the propane tanks on '94 and '95 models. Apparently they can work loose over time. I posted it here in case anyone purchased a '94 and '95 so that they can check for this problem. The odds are excellent it has been taken care of on all of them, b...

Occasionally the site seems to "time out" so I do get blank pages from time to time - haven't had one on logout but I have had it in a couple other places, but nothing consistent that I can complain to the provider about.

It's a standard RJ-12 telephone jack. On my 1991, the outside connection is curbside, near the water heater, along with the cable TV connection.

This controls the Fantastic Vent in the ceiling.

It will turn on the fan to try to cool the camper to whatever temperature you set.

However in mine the thermostat was not functioning correctly, so I bypassed it and now just control the vent via the speed settings on the fan itself.

It's the thermostat for the furnace (only). Slide the switch on the bottom to the right, then adjust the temperature. The furnace takes a minute or so to kick on after it's triggered. Then after you flip the switch to off, the fan will run for another 30-60 seconds to cool off the furnace before it ...

This one took me months to figure out. In mine, there's a fan mounted above the coils of the fridge, and this switch supplies power to it. However, there's a trick: in mine, there was a temperature sensor wired so that the temperature above the coils had to be above 115 degrees or something for it t...

Just like in a house, the GFCI breaker (part of the rear wall outlet) is wired to cut off the power if it detects a "leakage" to ground - i.e., someone dropped an electrical appliance into water. The way our campers are wired, the breaker in that outlet controls: --The other outlet mounted...

That switch controls the water heater. The water heater has electronic ignition, so it should be as simple as flipping the switch and waiting for it to start. The red light by the switch will turn on when the water heater is trying to light; after it lights successfully it will turn off. You'll see ...

Do we have a TV antenna? Yes, it doubles as the luggage rack on the roof. (Well, more properly, the luggage rack doubles as the antenna.) The general consensus is that it's not very good with reception. What is the switch mounted in the cutout on the rear wall control panel? This allows you to sele...

I'm not sure what you mean when you can't cut and paste after it's on your computer in a text file - it ought to work just fine.

In my 1991, it switches between the air conditioner and microwave; you can't run both at the same time. Wanderlost (who has a 1996) and others have reported that this switch controls the outlets in general. See this page for different examples. It'd be nice if it were labeled, but in mine the air co...
