I've studied your photos and description but I don't understand how to pull the burner (with the corroded slits) out. I have loosened the nut using a 5/8" wrench but it doesn't seem to give me access to the burner. Also, I'm not sure about the sheet metal screw holding "the assembly in place."...

I think it's a good chance it is corrosion on the burner like others have suggested. Here is a link I started detailing the simple fix:http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/index.php?/topic/3677/page__pid__39646__st__0&#entry39646 I've studied your photos and description but I don't...

Hello all: I have a Norcold 3-way frig in a 2005 camper and I am having problems getting it lit. It worked for the first six days of my current trip and now it has gone out and refuses to stay lit. I have lit the gas burners and have run the heater to chase out any air in the lines. I hold...

Well, last night my refrigerator started working again. And I'm at over 9,000 feet in elevation. When I get home from this trip I'll check out the burner slits and see if they need to be cleaned.

Yeah, I try to keep it as level as possible.

Hello all: I know there's been a lot of discussion on f*&*ing 3-way Norcold refrigerators, but here's my problem. About two weeks ago I had my Norcold professionally serviced. I usually run the thing on propane all of the time and have found that the propane line (and other frig stuff) needs...

Well, I'm out on a trip and the water pump button is only working sporadically. So, I've ordered a new battery monitor/water pump panel and will replace the old one today when the new one arrives. Hopefully, that will fix the problem. On another note, the new battery is working really well. So...

I had already popped off the in-camper battery monitor cover and played with the wires with no success. So I plugged then unplugged the circuit board connector about ten times (per your instructions) and the monitor still read "fair". However, I turned the water pump on briefly and that got the...

I played around with the connections to the in-camper battery monitor and I got it to read "good" at one point and now it sits on "fair". The battery voltage meter reads about 12.6 after I ran the lights and the stereo for a while. Now, does the voltage meter give me a better judge of how much...

Everything comes up lucky 13: into the controller, out of the controller and at the battery posts. The in-camper battery monitor reads "weak".

Okay, you're talking to a guy who knows how to plug in a lamp and that's about the extent of my electrical knowledge. How do I monitor the voltage to see how much the battery got charged?

Into the controller it reads 20, from the controller to the battery it reads 14 and at the battery it reads 14.

I will go out and get a voltmeter right now and check it out.

Hello all: I'm having an electrical/battery problem. On a recent trip my battery didn't seem to be holding a charge. It would charge up fine, but then when I turned something on like an inside light it would go from full charge to weak in a matter of minutes. Since the battery was five years...

Update: Well, I drained the water tank, took out the anode rod and drained the water from the hot water heater. I cleaned out the hot water heater, bought a new anode rod, installed it, filled up the tank and everything works fine now. After each trip, I will now drain the water tank and the...

Thanks, Stan. I have lots of tools and some know-how. Maybe I'll try the anode rod with drain first and see how that works. Do you know if the Atwood rod from Camping World fit a Suburban heater? Dan It might be possible to add a hot water shut off valve on your own, but you will need to...

Phil: That would be great.! Here's my email: dannyg@znet.com and phone number: 858-279-5279. Dan I live just north of San Diego if you want to stop by and I can give you a hand. Phil

Stan: Is there some way of bypassing the hot water heater in my camper? Dan . . Unfortunately the 2005 FWC models do not have the hot water tank bypass valve. We didn't start installing that until maybe 2008 or 2009. The original FWC's with the hot water heater had the front panel of...

Thanks so much for the offer. Unfortunately, I'm back in San Diego. I'll be heading to Colorado next week. Travelingdan; will you be traveling north? I'm about 90 minutes up 395 from Mono Lake. If you need tools or whatever, you're welcome to stop by tomorrow. I'm sure we can get your water...

I never use the hot water. Where is the hot water tank bypass valve? Stan, You are the MAN. What a great response. I change out my water monthly.....and even then had problems with the anode rod residue. I recommend that you also use the hot water tank bypass valve and completely bypass...

Instead of a bicycle pump, I bought a $20 portable inflator that plugs into a 12v. You can use it to pump up your truck tires, air bags and bicycle tires. I got mine at an auto parts store. Oh, the airbags - I also carry a small bike pump in my roof box so I can fill them back up after...

Hey everyone (especially Stan): Thanks for all the info. I guess I should have been doing regular maintenance instead of installing luxury items like a stereo, boot rack and shelving. I'm at Mono Lake now three days into a month-long trip. I guess I'll have to figure out how to do the...

Is there a technique in getting the rod out? I've got the cap off (with a bit of effort), but I can't figure out how to extract the rod.

Stan: Thanks for the info. Even with the caps off the sink faucet and the head off of the shower, there's still very little water flow. More water flow out of the shower than the sink. Dan

Hello all: I have a 2005 Grandby. I'm getting no water pressure either inside at the sink or at the outside shower. Just a little dribble in both places. Before I left on my current trip, I drained the tank and refilled it. I did find out that I drove a ways with my outside water intake door...
