Half of your issue was with the Onan generator. This has been a known problem on many brands of 5th wheels with this unit. You really need to have a fan pointed under the generator to move the hot...

Re: Wanted Dometic over the range Microwave

I had the same issue. I couldn't find a replacement that I liked. The repair is easy if you're willing. You can buy a new capacitor, diode and fuse and probably have it up and running in less than 30...

How many axles do you have? I had a leaf spring break a month ago on my 2-axle 5th wheel, it was frightening because the tire hit the bottom of the RV and nearly started a fire before I could stop.

What error code?

I think you press the prime button 2 or three times and it should flash a code. If the code is 3 flashes I think you can press it again to get a sub code. Can't remember exactly...

Seems like a no-brainer. Steel is a superior material when it comes to strength, but not strength to weight and certainly not rust resistance.

Opinion on 5th gear Landing Gears

The front landing gears have failed on my 2008 Keystone Raptor. The leg without the motor continues to get "out of sync" with the powered leg. I think gears are stripped or something else. I have to...
