Our Eagle camper lives outside in Western MA. Winterizing includes: 1) drain water then put in about a gallon of RV antifreeze, run pump to fill lines and trap with antifreeze, 2) made steel plates that screw into threaded inserts to cover each of the 4 tie down access holes so mice cannot...

Patrick and others: Many thanks for the responses. Got some parts and worked on the Dometic refrig in my Eagle yesterday - fixed. Dometic has parts (1-800 544 4881), a helpful salesperson waited until I found and provided the model and serial number info from the white sticker on the back...

Heading out for a camping trip, the Atwood 37761 LPG monitor in our Eagle would either show a yellow indicator light or sound off beeping and show red. Powering down and then up gave a green indicator light for about 15 seconds. Since the sensor has a 2009 date on it, I figure, like house...

After not camping for one summer and part of the next, we got the Eagle on the road. I ran the camper on 110v AC the night before, letting the refrigerator (Dometic RM 2193) get cold. When we got the campground, i went to run the refrigerator on propane. Seemed to fire up fine and cool well...

Gary, I have had a very slow leak in my Ride-Rites since I got them. I also thought it might be the fittings and replaced them since they aren't very expensive. It didn't do anything. I assume now, that it is the bags. My leak is so slow that I can go a couple of days between having to...

tailgate off Thanks for the reply. Turned out there is a plastic bushing in the right hand side and that that bushing had rotated, so it blocked the slot in the hinge. Used a screwdriver to rotate bushing back to align its slot with metal part of hinge, did what you said to do, and tailgate...

Folks: The new Eagle is coming soon. Preparing the 2006 Tacoma, I went to remove the tailgate and could not. The manual says unhook cables (OK), then tilt back 30 degrees and lift right side (NO WAY). I could use some suggestions. The hinge on the right does have a slot so I gather the 30...

Mounting controls Note the threaded inserts above brake unit on right side of engine compartment; use these for mounting. Make a bracket that allows mounting to these threaded hole, accepts the dual air command gauge/switch panel and then has a place for air supply/manual fill valve plus a...
