  • Removing A MaxxFan Plus Roof Vent For Repairs
  • For your MaxxFan Plus Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan, Thermostat, and Remote - Powered Lift - 10 Speed - Smoke Item # MA00-04500K I would avoid drilling out the screw if you can.

I ran into an an issue like this personally before and ended up cutting a straight notch in the head of the screw so I could use a fatter...

  • The best way to tell if the Mighty Cord RV Power Cord Adapter # A10-1550 is still functioning correctly would be to simply plug it in. If you don't think it is the adapter then I would try running some tests on the products that you are plugging in the adapter to make sure they are functioning properly. I don't have access to how the adapter is wired, but if it were malfunctioning I would not try to repair it on your own. If anything were not repaired correctly then that could result in...

  • Can the Handle of the Flow Max RV Kitchen Faucet Be Removed for Repairs?
  • I have a solution for you, but you cannot remove the handle from the Flow Max RV Kitchen Faucet # LC719333, so you would need to replace the entire faucet in this instance. According to Lippert, who manufacture the Flow Max kitchen faucets, none of them allow you to remove the handles to perform repairs unfortunately. Your best bet is going to be replacing your current unit with the same # LC719333 that you currently have, but I've also linked our entire selection of replacement faucets...

  • Troubleshooting Greystone RV Fireplace that Stopped Working
  • Sometimes the RV fireplace circuit boards develop bugs that a simple reset fixes. You can do that by unplugging and plugging back in. Otherwise, if that does not work the unit would need to be replaced as the boards are not repairable or replaceable. For a replacement, I recommend the Greystone Electric RV Fireplace with Crystals - 26" Wide - Recessed Mount - Black # 324-000068.

  • Camco Power Defender Showing Open Neutral When Plugged Into RV
  • If you are plugging the Camco RV Power Defender Voltage Protector # CAM55306 directly to the shore power outlet and only getting the "Open Neutral" fault when plugging in the RV then there is an issue either with the outlet itself or your RV cord. The reason the error is only showing when plugging in the RV is because it will only detect it when power is being sent back to the RV/trailer. It is basically needing a bigger load placed on the circuit to identify this fault. I recommend inspecting...

  • Troubleshooting Lipperty Hydraulic Leveling System Where Jack Won't Retract- Only Extends
  • It's definitely possible that this has occurred during your re-build but it's more likely that whoever re-installed the unit got the plumbing for the hydraulic system mixed up. You'll want to make sure that the black hose is connected to the extend feed and the orange hose is connected to the retract feed-this is the opposite of what would be on a 5th wheel trailer with a similar hydraulic system, so that might be where the error lies. If both hoses are black then you would need to follow...
