  If you can jack the front up some .

Much easier to fix the rear area then what is up front. 

Hope the water stops rising there.

  I am curious as to why a 55 amp converter only has 30 amp fuses.

  I think a 65 amp Progressive Dynamics only has 40 amp fuses.

  This is a winter project for Window repair. It is just for myself and to pass along some info as I try to accomplish said subject.

   I do have a bottle of argon for welding and a regulator that will do the job.

 Will keep posted,.  Vern

  Last winter I had a customer ask me about the same problem. The fifthwheel side of the situation worked. But the truck did not pass power on the female receptacle.

  I walked over to a neighbor in the campground that I had to talk to for a minute and his friend asked me what I was working on. I told him what was working and what was not. 

  He said he had the same problem on his Chevy truck. It turned out to be a relay, fuse or something that GM put under the spare tire on his truck. But on this GM truck they installed it behind the rear axle, on the inside of the frame. Now on the truck that I worked on it had two small bolts holding it to the frame. You could look in behind the rear wheel and see the 10 mm bolt heads sticking there.

 The neighbor friend even had a spare part. We installed it and it made the system work.

  Now why did they install it there?????

  Just an idea,.   Vern

 Watching this video you can hear him explain about heavier argon fills the bottom first. I tried to do a video but so far it has not loaded.

 So this photo explains about how heavier material will stay at the bottom.

 So in this photo there is a heavy product that is at the bottom. And a lighter product that sits at the top. Now if you shake it up they will mix physically, but separates with in 15 minutes.

 So if argon is supplied to the bottom of the window slowly it will fill the space from the bottom to the top .

 I polished mine twice. But they faded again.

 Three years ago I sanded them with 400 on front and 220 on the side edge for clear coat to stay in place. Still looks great.

 I have paint equipment with me and had clear coat also. Did another set at the same to save time on labor. He sold his truck so I cannot say what his looks like.

 I did use regular clear coat, not rattle can. But Napa may be able to help with rattle can clear coat.

  For a update on my thoughts of this project.

  I will work on at least one window this winter while in Arizona. I have searched this subject over a few years and never seen a simple way to fill the window with a gas. Now that I have seen a simple way to accomplish it, I will try it.

 We have been staying in Arizona for 4 winters and I really think this is the last winter there. So I am getting some other projects in order to keep busy while there. The Rv repair business has dropped of by at least 40 percent in Montana.

 It is close to time for me to retire so a day or three off a week has got me thinking more days off would be fine with me.

  I am planning to install solar on our fifthwheel this winter. Window thing may involve more if it works.

  Now I am going to be picking up on a old hobby from the 1970's. Back in those days I was building black powder rifles. So I hope to get some forging of parts done before we leave in October. 

  Heck I mite be doing some backpacking this winter in the mountains of Arizona. Even carry a fly rod with me and do some fishing.

 Find 12vdc somewhere and wire direct to fridge. With a fuse inline on the positive side.

 Test fridge for operating. I had one years ago that a wire had came apart in the slide wiring that powered the fridge.

 Then search back to find the problem, or just replace with a new wire run.

  Safe Travels,.   Vern

 This explains this subject

Yep this will help.

 Thanks,.  Vern

 I want to learn how to take a double pane window apart , clean it and resealed it.

   Vern

  I am curious as to what cleaner for cleaning the sealer that holds the glass todether. I think it is a polyurethane product. But looking for the best cleaner that will not affect the sealer. 

 I do need to look for where it leaked in to cause the fogging. I have an old window that I am expiermenting with.

  Safe Travels,.    Vern

 Ok now I am rethinking this. Just what is stuck.

 If solved this , lets us know.

 Safe Travels ,.     Vern

Be patience on the lower shaft connection. Move burner side back and forth to loosen large fan wheel loose.

 Then the  burner wheel may want to be stuck. Push it on the shaft just a bit. Use sand paper to clean end of shaft. Then work off shaft. I have used a very small screw driver to loosen the plastic center in the slots. But be careful not to break the whee..

 It can be down,.  Vern

 With what you have stated for fuses and new batteries, have paper and pencil ready. Do you have a 12vdc volt meter. You need one ready to use.

 I would then call the transmission manufacturer. They should help. Be patient with them.

  Unfortunately there is no tech support for that make of Motorhome any more.

 Where r u located.

 Do you have the build plans for that unit. I think that it should of had a set with it. They mat be online.

 This should get you started in the correct direction.

  Safe Travels,    Vern

 I wou

  I see truck on the road at times. The other day I got to take a photo of it.

 So what year is it.

  Safe Travels,.  Vern

 Low voltage can make amps go up and blow the fuse. Possibly be a problem for the relay also. I would think if you are sitting in one place that maybe the problem.

 Check voltage at post and at fridge back.

 Safe Travels,.   Vern

 Is it shaking up and down or sideways. May be hard to tell.  

 Switch tires to back and try.

 Several years ago I hit a deer with my jeep. It messed up a bunch of stuff. Even put other tires and wheels on it. Finally got it fairly good for driving, but it still shook at 59 mph.

  In the process I put the old tires and wheels back on. But did not put the tires on the same place as I did not mark them. Took jeep in to get tires balanced. Right front tire was out of round. It could not be balanced. So had it put on the rear axle. At 25 mph that tire shook the jeep.

 Next morning put another set of tires on and 69 mph it drove great. Did not even balance the new to jeep tires.

  Look at the tire near the rim. There may be a rib molded into the tire to see if it is on the rim evenly.

 Also look at tires closely to see if they look out of shape.

 When you have tire of the ground to change the tires see if they're is anything loose in the front end.

  Thoughts only,.   Vern

 Possibly switched in the tv. Not cables.

 I think ,???   Vern

  I have a cdl so that would work. Now I am thinking differently about the jeep thing.

thanks for the ideas guys,.  Vern

   Now we're testing how much weight a smart could carry. That could cause a problem. You need to balance it nicely. 

  Just could not resist,.  Vern

  I have thought of downsizing to that model. Wife looked curious when I mentioned it.

All natural 

 Vern

 Just do not tell Big Fiver I have this jeep.

    Vern

 Is there a gvw for a yj?

just curious,.   Vern

 Yes I carry about 2000 lbs of tools and parts in a yj. It has been smart weighed twice just to see its total weight. The one seen on the back of our Volvo. It has a Chevy 350 in it. A sm465 granny gear transmission. Michelin Xps rib 235/85r/16 tires. Air shocks on front and rear axles. Plus a few other modifications I have done to it.

 I will soon have traveled 200,000 miles in this capacity. It has over 300,000 miles on it.

 How many Smart would equal this jeep.

  Safe Travels,   Vern

 This is the other model of Rv

 makes one think about traveling slower?
