damage

My Dad's 95 Classic. It was running fine, but i was not putting it on the road for months, so I had no insurance. What in the world can I do? Probably cost an arm and a leg to repair. Should I try to part it out or are there those who could restore. The damage is in the seating area. ACs...

I have a 2006 Tiffin Allegro Bay that was hit with a lighting strike last night and now I have some problems; 1. Cannot turn off my AC units with the controller as they run non stop. The came on by themselves after the strike and I didn't know that had happened until about 12 hours...

Hello everyone, I recently purchased a Roadtrek and it may have experienced some water damage. I am wanting to re-upholster the walls/AC ceiling. I can be handy but not sure were to even star. Any ideas and or suggestions in the Phoenix area?

Yep, all my gauges are busted (Needles all stuck at random points) except for my two PSI gauges. I am pretty certain it is related to my EG4 3000ehv all in one inverter unit being grounded to the chassis. The thing that made me realize something was wrong was the bus not starting when the...

Direct Hit! You sunk my battleship! This happened while I was, ironically, on a camping vacation not with the camper. I received a call and a text message with the first picture below. The tree was 30" in diameter and looked perfectly healthy. Roots gave away and down it went. I have still have...

Three months ago, my passenger front tire blew out at 65 mph. It immediately pulled me off the freeway, down an embankment, thru a gulley, a barbed wire fence, and I finally stopped a half mile down on the gravel service road. The exterior damage is minimal other than a lot of scratches and...

There's a lot of hand-wringing about concerns of overheated/destroyed alternators from high amperage draw. Although this particular video isn't using a motorhome, the exact same principles apply. He removes the hearsay and conspiracy by looking at the raw data. The bonus is his derived data can...

My new 20FB Airstream now has lithium batteries. I've read that I cannot rely on the Tow Vehicle to charge the lithium batteries when in transit. If not charging - or at best having minimum charge - will these batteries have a negative effect on the alternator? Can the alternator be damaged...

Hi all, my 2016 keystone passport M-195RB was hit by a tree and the front end is damaged. I have no idea on the repair costs but thinking it might be salvage, the chassis except for front corner seems to be ok. It is NOT covered by any insurance and I have used on this from all aspects. I...

A friend has a 2025 GM diesel 3.0. He will be parking it for several months, Jan, Feb and March. I gets cold here, can get below 0 f for short periods of time. It will be parked in an unheated building. He is wondering if DEF freezes (12 f) , can it rupture lines? We know the tank has a heater...

Hey folks, Looking for some information and advice. I have a 2015 17B running it's original WFCO converter and new 6V lead acid batteries that were new just over a year ago (I made sure along the trip that they had enuf distilled water in them). On long Sept trip when boondocking I used a...

I am an experienced travel trailer RV'er. I currently have a 30' Keystone Springdale. I recently bought a 37' 2018 311BHS to pull with my 2024 F350 Lariat 6 3/4'. I bought the B&W RVK3370 puck & slider 5w hitch. I've been wondering (well.. really worrying) about a few things. I'm a bit scared...

Long story, but I was about to get on the road again with a new tow vehicle, and I needed a tow dolly but I waited too long to get one (silly me, I figured I could just call around and order one). I ended up buying a Mastertow Dolly 80THD from a local marina. The seller had a dozen of them...

I was quite surprised today when I pulled off the panel to access my water pump and found that my water heater was hot even though it was empty. Guess I can't use the rookie excuse since I've had travel trailers for over 10 years now. Had always assumed there was some sort of safe guard to keep...

I have a 2020 Horizon 42Q. We just drove from Idaho to SO CA. Usually we take the 15, didn't this time and bad mistake. The 101 and 5 have the asphalt in such disrepair that I couldn't go over 60 and couldn't drive in the right lane. I had to drive in the left lane and people honked and flipped...

What happens if the water pressure is high during fill-up of the fresh water tank? Does it trigger a bypass to the Grey or Black tank?

I recently had a failure on my inverter which I've tracked down to a mouse eating through the remote control cable under the cabinet floor below the sink. I'm working that one. HOWEVER, I also lost the ability to pop-out my side slide. I get warning lights on the remote control panel. Sure...

Any one else tired of the trash and stuff on the roads? Yesterday between Kingman AZ and Las Vegas NV we hit some 2x4s that came off a truck in front of us. Couldn't swerve because of traffic, and could barely start the slow down process. Passenger side dually hit one of them and spun it around...

Howdy Folks. Need your opinion on a 12 battery issue. I left my 1907T power cord plugged into my garage 120V outlet during a 3-year storage. I returned and found that one of the 2 12V batteries had disintegrated and leaked acid on the concrete floor. I assumed that the connected power cord...

The title is kind of self explanatory. My drivers side tail light keeps getting smashed by the door mounted spare tire. I want to put a heavy duty guard over the lights to keep the tire from running into the lens. Anyone know of a source for these?

We have had our 2005 itasca Horizon AD diesel pusher for 3 years. It has 33k miles We use it twice a year for a loop from Ohio to the keys and back. Last year, driving up through the Everglades, it was a red flag wind day. We heard a bit of knocking on the roof and thought it was a cable. All of...

Well gang, We're traveling at present and heading to a Honda Goldwing motorcycle event being held in Montrose CO in a few days and we're galivanting around the area of Williams AZ, Blanding UT, Grand Junction CO all before we get to Montrose for the event. Well, we were literally THREE MILES...

Just returned from a trip to Black Hills SD in our 2023 Micro Minni 2108DS and got hit by the dreaded A-frame mounted mini breakers. This subject has been discussed in other threads specifically the fact that there are components and connections sitting out in the elements. Those that have...

Currently on a multi-week trip in our 2018 Vegas 25.5 when the dash AC went out. Took it to an RV repair shop and they discovered that the left hinge on the hood had been rubbing and eventually punctured the AC line. Took 21K miles to do it. Parts aren't readily available but they had a shop...

Sent my class C in to have the light in the center of the cabover replace as it had condensation inside. When I got it back there was damage ( see image) near the light. How do you think I should approach this with the repairer (dealer) and how do you think it should be repaired?
