Replacing wiring first I currently have a # 12 wire running from battery. Am going for a #6 wire and see if that helps. If not I may attempt the solar panel if I think I can actually install and wire up one. I appreciate the answers and will keep on it since my wife really likes to have cold...

When traveling I put the fridge on 12 V and several hours later when we arrive at rv park I find that the camper battery is practically dead. I have the power line from the truck battery to the 7 terminal connector and have tested with a voltage meter all the way to the battery on camper and am...

My flooring and carpet looked almost brand new so no need to replace. The upholstery was perfect also. Did not want bunkbed because I would never be confined with extra people inside and especially kids, which is about all you could cram up into the bunk. As far as the tub goes, remove the side...

Are you looking for a 94-98 model (see title ) or a 05 - 08 year model (see message )?

The wallpaper was a goner. We wanted a full bathtub with no ledge to sit on since we want to shower instead of soaking our feet. The toilet and sink had yellowed over time and not expensive to replace these items yourself and not really difficult. Also put in a new thermostat, simple two wire...

I bought a 1990 229L model about 10 months ago. Had 3 leaks around windows, wallpaper falling off,etc. Have spent 8 months working and piddling with it. Enjoyed every minute. Have it completely redone now and would not sell at any price. My window leaks were solved with caulking the outside of...

The 15 amp fuses on my 1990 model are located under the couch at the front of the trailer, along with the water pump. Door on left under couch drops down. Need to make sure the prongs ( one or two connector ) on bottom of new replacement bulb match what came out of the light fixture.

Thanks for the link to the manual. I saved it on my computer and am going to print it out out and read over it tonight. This is great to have for my file folder on my camper. Am sure it will answer a lot more of my questions in the future.

In my 1990 229L I have a tub with half of it raised so you can sit down. I plan to put in a full 36 inch tub. I removed the side cover to see under the existing tub and under the seat area is what looks like a vent pipe sticking up almost to the bottom of the seat. Anybody know for sure what...

I read somewhere on this forum that the lowering time is factory set for 12 seconds. Mine lowers in about 4 or 5 seconds. Is there any way to slow this down a bit. It is pretty smooth but is a little scary dropping that fast. Other than that, I have not really experienced any problems going up...

I recently replaced the old paper in my 1990 model or what was left of the old paper. I used self adhesive which in a lot of spots I have had to go back and glue it with Elmers glue. In the bathroom I used pasted wallpaper around the lower wall above the tub and behind the toilet and have had no...

I have a 1990 and when I bought it the kitchen vent-a-hood and lights under cabinet would not work. all 15 amp fuses were good. The problem was that this circuit was no longer grounded for some reason. Find a ground wire (white) on your bath wiring and splice into it and find a place where you...

I can not answer your question since I recently bought a 1990 229L and did not even know you could add hydraulic fluid. Where is the filler cap and vent located on your camper. Mine has worked fine so far and I just assumed that it is a sealed system. What type of fluid would you buy for this...

We bought a 1990 Hilo about 7 months ago. Found all blinds (shades) in really torn-up condition. Bought all new ones and am very careful to make sure all blinds on side windows are raised up before lowering camper. Also put small wire clips beside each window to hold the plastic rods against...

A/C runs very cold and then will cycle off for a period of time and then cycle back on. The camper stays comfortable and am wondering if this is normal for a 110 volt A/C unit ??? Still would like to know what type of freon that the original 1990 A/C unit took or still takes.

Bath plumbing I have a 1990 229L and right now I am working in the bathroom redoing the vinyl wall covering. I have the panel remove from the side of the tub ( to recover it) and all the plumbing is exposed. Yes, the trap and drain for the tub are standard house plumbing and are threaded. Looks...

I need to know where to order one of the porch light covers for my 1990 .

Roof Structure I am more concerned with the type of materials and what the structure underneath the rubber roofing looks like. With the very uneven roof I now have I am thinking that parts of the structure under the rubber roofing have collapsed or rotted. I am thinking that once the old...

Recently purchased a 1990 and want to know if anyone has photos of the roof structure after the rubber roof topping has been removed. What am I facing if I decide to replace the rubber roofing and coating? Great camper and no leaks but the roof is bumpy and a few dips in it. Very uneven...

FedEx neighborhood store phone# (817) 232-3734. Store hours for tomorrow (Saturday) are 10 A.M. to 3P.M. I will try to be up there with stuff around 10 to 11 A.M. According to website they do the packing. I probably need a last name for shipping or you can give that at time you call them. Let...

It had crossed my mind. Last year I had a radial arm saw that was on a recall. The company sent me a big box from FedEx already to go with an addressed shipping label and all. Dropped it in the box, slapped label on and dropped it off at the FedEx. FedEx is 6 blocks from me and no hassle since...

Correct. It can be unscrewed. Probably take 5 minutes. Not sure it will squeeze down to 5" X 5" but should be pretty close. Appreciate the thought but if you apply the money towards the freight it will really seem like a heck of a deal. P.S. The mattress is really nice, extra clean and feels...

ALSO, there was a thin sheet of wood panel screwed to frame for the mattress to lay on. This I removed and disposed of, but a trip to Home Depot will take care of that and you already have the screw holes in the frame.

Chris, forgot overall measurements of frame. 85" X 46 1/2" X 4"

Chris, I weighed the stuff the best I could with hanging scales. Frame= 22 lbs., Hardware= 3 lbs, mattress= ( a guess ) about 6 to 8 lbs. and the padded front decorative piece that screws to side of bed frame about 2 lbs. Think over all you are looking at 33 to 35 lbs. Most important is...
