So, this weekend was both a victory and a setback. I got the furnace working. Turned out the circuit board was bad. Works perfectly now...and heats up that space quick! The water heater is kicking my butt! I've replaced the main propane regulator coming into the camper. I replaced the heater control head/gas valve and the pilot/sensor. Everything has been cleaned. I even blew 2500 PSI water through the main burner heat tube that warms the water. But, as you can see in this picture the flame blows OUT of the heat tube hole. I'm baffled. I'll be on the phone with a tech today. Obviously, this will catch the whole thing on fire.
Also, had a big oops! I was test filling the main water tank when I realized the inlet hose at the tank was dripping. The dang thing put water all over the NEW floor and trapped a ton of it between the vinyl planks and plywood. I have had a fan sitting on it trying to dry it all out. So upset about that.
Once I get the water heater fixed or replaced...I'm down to replacing the lift jacks (at least two of them) and then I'm done - will sell or keep, don't know yet.
Oh...it came with a set of fast gun tie down straps. These are awesome. I found a spot under the front B pillar support for the front ones and made a pair of stainless brackets off the rear tie down hoop mounts to lock the rear of the camper down. There is a simple adjustment on these where you know you are putting 300 ft lbs of torque on the camper...and it is locked down. Won't go flying off with these direct mechanical links.
