Wow, that's a great write-up and perfectly clear.Thanks! After so many years not having it fully functional, I'll have to see whether it's worth the effort. You must have investigated the repositioning of the chimney from the top? Haven't cleaned the flue for a few years and I don't recall how...

Way back I installed a relighter on my 2000 Dometic Fridge but used the original ignitor probe which we know won't work properly (ignites with the electric sparker but doesn't stop clicking after successfully lightning). I gave up but still found it useful to light the burner. I have never...

FYI anyone who may be interested in how I replaced (at least in small sections) the velcro hook material on the sideliner that mates with the window flaps. The super glues didn't work at all but the UV6800 (Marine Goop) did. I cut the threads and peeled back the old velcro, cut out those...

Does anyone know or can recommend a Velcro or 3M Hook/Loop product to replace the worn Hook material on my 2001 Granby? The loop is ok on the window external weather flaps but the hook material (on the sideliner) is worn beyond cleaning or restoration. I intend to use 4" X 2" wide hook material...

Just to clarify, after a chat with a velcro guru, the fuzzy stuff is the "loop" and the rough stuff is considered the "hook". The substrate is nylon and therefore extremely difficult to bond. The velcro with adhesive won't work with the technique I had hoped to use: grind of the hooks which are...

Camping in Baja for many years ate up that velcro - UV and salt air. I keep mine rolled up with EMT clamps, (maybe) the 2" size and the "half clamp" style (only one screw hole). The half round EMT end goes around the rolled up flap and the screw hole has a string with a loop that hooks to the...

Well, just to clarify, it's the velcro (looks like loops to me) on the window "frame" that's no longer sticking. The velcro on the flaps which to my thinking is the fuzzy part, is fine. I'm thinking that a maybe 4 or 5 patches of new industrial strength loop velcro may be all that I need. I'll...

The velcro on the window flaps of my 2001 Granby is about worn out. One of the flaps blows open in a not terribly strong wind. The "loop" velcro which is sewn on to camper vinyl is the culpret, i.e., the "hook" side on the flaps is fine. A new piece of loop velcro sticks well to the old hook...

Other Lifting Devices Greetings, I try not to carry too much on top of my 2001 Granby but on trips to Mexico I have no choice but, in addition to a 70 W solar panel, load up a locally fabricated roof rack with a "soft bag" full of stuff we "can't do without"! I use one of the corner jacks with...

Awning Idea Greetings, Looks like an interesting design for an awning. I was going to try something similar but not sure my Velcro will hold much any more. However, I have an A&E awning on the window (passenger) side of our Granby and run a simple line from each end of the flap poles (bottom...

Hi Stan, Thanks for the info! They're about 170 miles from us (Steamboat Springs) but so is everyone else! I'll check with them on Monday. Marty

Thanks for the offer Ben. Does anyone know of a reliable repair facility in the Colorado region which would be capable (and willing) to tackle the disassembly, if that's the direction I go? There's a Camping World in Denver but I doubt they'd want this job and Rocky Mt. RV did a FWC warranty...

Hi Stan, I'll give service a call tomorrow. Ya' know, $12K for a camper that requires a $1500-$2000 repair after 6 years doesn't make me a happy camper at all. Maybe the company was sold an inferior material at the time but I feel that ultimately, the responsibility to fix it rests with the mfg...

I already cut out the most affected areas but what happened was that the slightest pressure against the material would penetrate it. Thought I was just getting careless but large sections began to tear and hang down. Really, you can just touch it and it breaks down. Got a reply from FWC on that...

[I posted in the FWC forum but wanted to tap the talented resources here as well!] Greetings, The ceiling headliner in my '01 Granby is, little by little, turning into dust. From what I've read here it may be due to mold "eating" the material after it got wet. Now the reason it got wet was that...

Greetings, The ceiling headliner in my '01 Granby is, little by little, turning into dust. From what I've read here it may be due to mold "eating" the material after it got wet. Now the reason it got wet was that FWC uses very course sheet metal screws which work themselves loose and allow...
