• Troubleshooting Separated Siding at the Joints of the Trailer
• The Camco RV Vinyl Trim Insert # CAM25262 will replace your trim and allow you to have a nice molding. It is not intended to seal your walls, but to simply give you the finished look. This trim is intended to slide into existing metal track that is holding the siding in place. Since your aluminum sides are separating, I recommend using the Installation Kit with Screws and Sealant # 344270KITW to seal the siding from water and also secure it in place with the screws. I recommend removing...

• How To Identify What Type Of Roof Membrane Material Is Used On Your Motorhome
• One way to identify the roof material type without removing it from your roof is to go to your vent fan and remove the inside trim cover. Manufacturers will typically pull it down and staple it to the vent opening. You can remove a staple or two if needed to lift it up and examine both sides. if one side is a different color than the other then it's EPDM and if both sides are the same color it is TPO. Another way to check is to remove the trim strip on the outside of your RV where the...

• How to Fix Proximity Sensor Red Flashing Light Error on Furrion 34" Electric Fireplace
• I spoke to Furrion about the Furrion RV Electric Fireplace with Logs part # FF34SW15ABL and they informed me that they are aware of two potential causes for false detection of the proximity sensors. The first one is part of the trailer's trim blocking the sensor and causing it to go into a protection mode. The fix for this is to cut the wire mesh around the eye to open it up more or modify the trim in the trailer. The other issue is the motor overheating which will have the same error...

• Trouble Shooting Furrion Electric Fire Place Flashing Red Light And No Heat.
• This sounds like a proximity sensor issue. There are two sensors covered by a wire mesh, located in the top left corner, in some cases people have been able to trim the wire away and this will fix the problem. The sensors will turn off the heat if they find anything within 6 inches of the fireplace. This protects the Furrion RV Electric Fireplace with Crystals - 30" Wide - Recessed Mount - Black # FF30SC15ABL from overheating and potentially causing a fire. I have read in some forums...

• How To Reset An iRV36 RV Stereo System
• The manual for the iRV36 states to hold the power button for 5 seconds to reset the unit. Since you've already tried that I recommend pulling the unit from the wall and removing the fuse to cut the power to the unit. This will allow the unit to fully reset which should solve your issues. If this doesn't solve your issues you may need to replace it. Your iRV36 has mounting dimensions of 4-3/8" W x 4" H x 3" D so the closest fit is the Jensen Mechless RV Stereo # JWM20 at 3-13/16" W x...

• Troubleshooting A Furrion DV3100 RV Stereo That Won't Accept A CD
• If the disc isn't wanting to retract into the stereo then it could potentially be that a cd is still stuck inside it or that there's a mechanical failure internally. There really isn't a way to see what the issue is without taking apart the stereo though. You're most likely looking at replacement at this point so the closest option we currently offer is the Jensen RV Stereo w DVD Player # JWM70A. This stereo requires a 7-1/2" wide x 2-3/4" tall x 6-1/4" deep cutout hole so you'll have to...

• Greystone RV Microwave Does Not Heat Up
• Typically, with built-in microwaves like the Greystone Standard RV Microwave w/ Trim Kit # 324-000106, the 110v plug should be routed to an outlet inside a nearby cabinet. If your microwave isn't heating up, you may have a burnt out diode or the microwave door switch. If the microwave door switch is damaged the microwave will look like it's working, but won't actually heat up anything. If the diode has burnt out, this could indicate a short which would allow electrical flow in both...

• What Does The Flashing Fault Light Mean On An Atwood RV Propane Gas And CO2 Detector
• If you're getting a fault with your Atwood RV Carbon Monoxide and Propane Gas Detector # AT36681 then I would first ensure that there's no presence of propane and then would cut power to the detector for a few minutes to let it fully power down. Once it's been off for a bit you can reconnect the power, if the fault occurs again then the detector is either at the end of it's lifespan and is telling you so via the fault light or the power supply running to it isn't 12v and you'll need to...

• Is Replacement Remote Available for iRV Stereo 6500BT
• Yeah, we don't have any replacement remotes for an iRV stereo and since they don't make any replacement parts it sounds like you'll either be limited to using the using the stereo the old fashioned way (by physically pushing the buttons on the interface) or you need to replace your stereo. If you choose to replace your stereo then I recommend the Furrion RV Stereo w/ DVD Player # DV1230BL which matches the functions of your current stereo but it's a little smaller so you'll need to fill...

• Troubleshooting A Genesis GT-2.0 RV Stereo System That's Not Putting Out Sound
• Your stereo will have a fuse located on the power wire that you can gain access to by removing it from the wall/dash/cabinet/etc. and then replace. That being said, if the unit is powering on but there's no sound that wouldn't typically indicate a bad fuse. I would first start by checking that the zones for your speakers are turned on so that the speakers actually receive power. Other than checking the power to the unit and that all of your wiring is properly connected with no damage...

• Troubleshooting Lippert SolidStep RV Steps That Prevent Entry Doors From Closing
• If your doors won't close when the SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps # LC733931 are down then you'll need to see exactly where the hang up is. I'm assuming that the hinge plate is sitting too high above the threshold and the doors are coming into contact with it. If the screen door is the issue then you can easily trim the door down a bit to increase the gap you have for the steps. You'll need a minimum gap of 1/4" between the threshold and the screen door. Weather-stripping can be installed...

• Troubleshooting A Door Threshold Interference After Installation Of Lippert Solid Step
• It is fairly common for older trailers like your 2009 Dutchmen Denali to have had the screen door installed lower than what they are now, which is causing the interference with the SolidStep Manual Fold-Down Steps for 29" to 36" Wide RV Door Frames # LC791575. What you can do to alleviate this issue, is trim the bottom of the screen door frame. To do this, with the steps down, take a piece of tape and place one on each side, down on the threshold at the edge of the step bracket. From here...

• Troubleshooting A Furrion DV1200 RV Stereo System That Won't Power On
• Most likely the stereo is fried since there isn't a fuse in this one like most other stereo systems. What you can do though is pull off the trim around it to get to the mounting screws and remove it from the cabinet. If you have done this and really is glued to the cabinet as well then you'll need to take a pry tool to it and get it off. Once it's off you can use a multimeter # PT89ZR and prick into the power wires to see if it's getting 12 volts. If not then we know the issue is with...

• Troubleshooting An E1 Error Code For A Greystone RV Electric Fireplace
• An E1 error for a Greystone electric fireplace means that there's a short in the circuit board and the entire unit will need to be replaced. This unfortunately is a very common issue across all fireplace brands and the manufacturers won't send out replacement circuit boards. If you have a warranty through the dealership you purchased the trailer from I'd try to go through them to get it replaced for free. To remove the fireplace from the wall/cabinet/etc. you'll need to get to the mounting...

• Recommended Battery Monitoring System For RV Batteries To Help Prevent Overcharging
• The fact that your converter overcharged your batteries leads me to believe it's replacement time for your converter since it isn't properly functioning. That being said we do offer monitoring systems like the Go Power RV Battery Monitor Kit with 25' Cable # GP44FR. This monitoring system will allow you to easily see the charge rate and consumption of your batteries and can also let you set shutdown alerts when the voltage is too low or high. If you want to replace your WF-8735P then...

• Troubleshooting A Fan-Tastic Fan RV Roof Vent That Isnt Running
• While we don't have a specific wiring diagram for your 2000-2001 Fan-Tastic Fan # FV803350 I can say that all of these vents only have two wire; black (power) and white (ground). If you pull down the trim on the inside of your trailer you'll be able to easily see the wiring and can then check the voltage with a multimeter # PT89ZR. If you're not getting 12v then we know the issue is with the power. If you are getting 12v then most likely the motor needs to be replaced, which you can do...

• Troubleshooting A Greystone Fireplace That No Longer Lights Up
• Unfortunately RV fireplace manufacturers will not offer replacement parts so when anything goes wrong it requires a complete replacement. The "flame" is really just a rod with a bunch of tiny mirrors on it that rotates and reflects the light up onto the screen to look like flames. The motor that spins the rods likely overloaded and caused the spark or the portion of the circuit board that controls the lighting is fried. To replace your unit you'll first need to remove the old one from the...

• Troubleshooting A MaxxAir RV Vent That Keeps Trying To Close When Its Already Closed
• Most likely the circuit board for your MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan # MA00-07500K is faulty and needs to be replaced, but there are a few things we can check first before replacing it with part # MA10A21275K. A lot of the time there could be a power drop that shuts the vent off and then when it comes back on it "wakes up" and tries to close but doesn't know that it's already closed. In some of the trailers I've worked on when I cut the power and turn it back on the vents will start...

• Is My Maxxair 7500k Circuit Board Fried
• I suggest pulling the 12 volt DC fuse and let it sit for 15-20 minutes to try and hard reset on the MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan, Thermostat, and Remote - Powered Lift - 10 Speed - Smoke # MA00-07500K. While you are waiting remove the trim and check all the wires and connections for damage like corrosion, shorts or overheating. Also remove the circuit board and check it for damage too. When putting everything back in and reconnecting circuits make sure the connections are secure...
