Switching Lane's RV Services

I don't post up very often, but this is a little different. Today, I was changing out a Coleman-Mach 8. A bit heavier than most, but really no big deal, right? Somewhere near about 2 hours give or take by myself. NO! Some moron before me decided to completly silicone down the gasket. I literally took an oscillating tool to the gasket right at the A/C since I didn't want to damage the fiberglass roof. The owner of this RV is the second owner, but she bought it after it was only 6 months old. I have one of 2 guesses what happened. When I looked at the old A/C on the roof, the one side in the rear was dropped down. The back outside pad was gone. My guess is that the air conditioner was leaking, and the selling dealer decided that rather than replacing the pad, and re-securing the A/C, they would just silicone the unit back on. Or, it happened at the factory! Even scarier! Either way, it turned into a 4 hour ordeal after I already quoted everything prior. I'm thankful that I can help out my customers, but sometimes......

There are two lessons to be learned here. Even if you're at a campsite with FHU's, you might still need to have water in your tank. And secondly, always use at least a 20 micron filter for your incoming water. When repairs are performed, garbage will enter into the water line.

The wife was crying for an hour, she broke the camper! Just a valuable lesson to learn here. Make sure there's no obstacles in the way of your slide-outs. A box full of packages slid behind the bed box, and ripped the bed off the wall when she extended the slide-out. It's a good thing she's happily married to an RV tech!

Summer is finally here! Make sure your RV A/C is in top running condition! If you're not sure, don't get overheated. Give me a call!

Welcome RV friends!
