  1. You mean the water dies not flow out of the spout and comes up where the spout pivots? That would indicate a couple of things. One would be the "O" ring(s) on the spout have failed,  and two, the aerator at the outlet of the spout is plugged. That would also explain why the water comes out of the hot and cold knobs. Try unscrewing the aerator and see how the faucet acts. You may need to clean it like the shower head.

  2. First thing that comes to mind regarding the shower head is to unscrew the hose from the head and check for water flow. If you have decent flow there then try soaking the head in vinegar or even some CLR.

    What do you mean by this?

  3. My trailer came with a residential fridge along with a 1000 watt inverter and two 12v batteries. During the day traveling I do not turn the inverter on and at the end of the day everything is still frozen. If we are planning on boondocking for the night I turn the inverter on. I wouldn't like an RV fridge anymore. My freezer gets so cold that a bottle of 40 proof (20% alcohol) froze solid!! Yes, I like my drinks cold.......

  4. First of all, Welcome! Sounds to me like your compressor is about dead. Something is failing inside the compressor and it is pulling way to much power to try to start. It probably shut down from the overload tripping and wouldn't restart due to current draw. I don't suppose you checked to see if you could put your hand on the compressor when it first acted up? It was probably quite hot.......

    You said nothing about rot from the leakage.

    Hopefully it would be like mine. It leaked from the git-go, but fortunately water was running under the flange and down the roofing material and dripping in the tub. Poor calking job..... It got fixed real good when a new roof was installed.

  6. One question I have is where did the leaf(s) break? GENERALLY if the spring broke at the center bolt the ubolts are slightly loose. If the break is just outside of the ubolt overloading is the culprit. Like I said, these are general reasons......

    Towing my triple axle toy hauler 7,000 miles cross country over the past summer (with my 7.3L F350)  has taught me that I am in desperate need of an HDT.  And most importantly , my wife agrees!

    20 mph up hill on the highways of Wyoming, motor screaming at 60 mph (when we were lucky enough to have a long flat road), exhaust temps rising, front trans seal toasted (thanks Big Horn Mountains), stiff front leaf springs on the truck, the list could go on.

    Our plan is to visit all 50 states as a family, and we are up to 46.  We are missing Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and Hawaii.  Since we are both teachers, we have all summer to travel, and we do!  But now we'll do it in an HDT, at 65 mph! How decadent!  We would like to take the yet to be found HDT to Alaska via Washington and Oregon (From NY), so we can cross out those 3 states.

    I'm learning a lot on this site!

     

    There is just what you are looking for in the RVs Tows and Toad For Sale forum! BTW, welcome to the forum!

    Seems like you answered your own question, especially since you plan to keep the coach for a long time.

    Yep. Just delete it and put a string of LEDs around it for light if you want more.

  9. I kind of like the skylight due to there is no light above the tub/shower. HOWEVER, on my old trailer the skylight cracked from fatigue around the screws and leaked, and the skylight in my current trailer (bought new in June) has leaked twice already.............

    I'm sorry-  Are you saying the Champion uses the same motor and parts as the Honda?!? I don't think I believe that. Where did you ever get that information?!?

    I got that information by looking up the parts. The engine on mine does not say Honda, but it is a Honda knockoff and YES, the coil and even the carb is the same ON MINE.

    We have a Champion 3100W and have always had very good luck with it. That said we very seldom use it but it has never failed us.

     

    Mine did once. The coil failed. Turns out it was the same engine that the Honda uses and all the parts were the same.
