RE: first timer...1996 national seabreeze heater question..
I'm sure in the tech section you should be able to find a trouble shooting guide for your brand of heater. But just off hand you will need propane, and the house batt. to be near full charge. the heater is usually just tied to 1 thermostat, if you have a thermostat in the bed room that's usually for the rear AC if you have 2 AC on board.
When you turn it on you should hear the fan start to run the the igniter clicking trying to start the burner.

RE: bunk beds
Last RV show saw several that the top bunk folded up and the space was used for a closet. With folding or sliding doors.

RE: Silicone brake fluid
I have a friend in the brake business and DOT 5 is good for show cars that don't get driven much, but Dot 5 and ABS systems don't get along well together. dot 5 gets kind of bubbly or airy looking when you shake it up and takes awhile to get rid of it. do your own test take 2 clear jars put DOT 3 in one and DOT 5 in the other and shake them up see which one keeps the clear liquid look.

RE: Windshield Crack! (Picture Posted)
I fix windshields on the side. I use a small dremel tool to make a hole a little past the the end of the crack. start the drill at a 45 degree angle so it doesn't walk across the windshield. You don't have to drill to the film between the glass. then take a small punch and set it in the hole you just drilled and give it a LIGHT tap. this will produce a small cone shape in the glass at the end of the crack. fill with epoxy and cure and it should stop the crack from spreading. See if you can find a wrecking yard and try it a few times on a broken windshield. A glass repair person should be able to do it for you. In the mean time take some clear tape and cover the crack to keep water and dirt out.

RE: STRESS FRACTURES
Take a very SMALL drill bit and drill a hole at the end of each crack to stop the run until you can get it patched.

RE: National RV owners.
Have an 2001 with 85,000 miles and would buy another if I could. A company called Ortega manufacturing bought the molds for the front and rear caps and I think doors. Go for it if you like the floor plan.

RE: Jacks
It looks like they are Power Gear Jacks. You could go to there web site and down load the directions. But for starters. On mine the e-brake has to be on, the transmission in park, it helps to have the engine running as they eat up the 12 volt power, or have the key in the run position. Then mine says to start by raising the front several inches then the rear jacks are used to level side to side.

RE: Transmission Fluid Gritty Checked Cold
Could it be just a little rust from the fill tube?? If you really want to filter your trans fluid using more then just the screen in the trans. then install an in-line filter. Motorcraft FT-167 $46.27 or the same filter in NAPA 1-8514 $22.49. This is the same filter required by Ford if the trans had to be rebuilt. It's a Megifine(sp) with a bypass.

RE: need help please!!
Park models usually have NO tanks for fresh water or black and gray water so you must be camped somewhere where you will have full hook ups. Not sure but a park model is probable wired for 110 volt only, no 12 volt for dry camping. May not even have propane tanks. A park model is a small manufactured home.

RE: Radio speakers
I think if you don't go to big in speaker power load you can just tie into another set of speakers. Ex. say you have 2 rear seat speakers you could tie into the rear speakers and add 2 more one on each side ( right and left)

RE: what year is my motor home
The chassis could have been built in 03 and the house added in 04 or late 03. The model year it was sold as is the year of record for the paper work. So the parts in the book for the chassis may be listed as 03, but the RV is an 04.
