RE: Red and White Wires...where do they go on a digital t-stat?
Just read your post again. If you tough the wires together and the heater comes on, make sure the batteries are installed correctly in the thermostat.
After that connect red wire to R terminal and white wire to W terminal.
If it won't start the heater try reversing the wires. red wire to W terminal and white wire to R terminal. If that doesn't work try a different thermostat.
Why are you repeating what I just wrote?
The transformer in a furnace is 24VAC. Polarity doesn't matter.
:h I was addressing the original poster.
If the furnace works with the wires touching but not when hooked to R and W on the thermostat then it's POSSIBLE that the assembly line mixed up the wire colors and the thermostat isn't letting the signal through.

RE: Not allowed to dump gray water??
I'm hoping they are referring to no gray water dumping on the ground. I don't believe they have a problem with it going into the dump station. But of course the only way to know for sure is to ask them.

RE: GAH! Sunnybrook holding tank question.
Can you slide your hand up on top of the tank and feel for the pipe? Maybe you'll get lucky and it has a threaded collar.
Other that that, see if you can verify if the pipe is a straight shot up to the vent or sink drain. Maybe you can hacksaw through the pipe to let the tank down and then just use a coupler to put the pieces back together when you re-insatll.

RE: Red and White Wires...where do they go on a digital t-stat?
Start by just taking the red and white wires and touching them together. Does the furnace come on? If it does then go after the thermostat hookup. If it does not then you have something else wrong.
I haven't looked at your model, but typically out of the many terminals you will see one labeled R one labeled RW and one labeled W. Does your new thermostat have these terminals?
Also does the thermostat need batteries?

RE: Black cap (with rubber top) under bathroom sink.
Sounds like an air admittance valve. Here's a link to an inexpensive one.

RE: White split ring screwed to sub flooring? Name?
Sorry no idea, but can you just use a piece of plumbers pipe hanger to replace it? That's what my Jayco uses.

RE: Why does my awning stay wet??
It's easy,
Go back to your post and highlight and copy the address.
http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/26107826.cfm
Now click the edit button on your post.
Up on the tools bar (where you see the icon for adding a smiley) you want to click on the little green circle with a chain link under it. (10th icon from the left.)
Paste your web address into the top box where it says "enter the complete URL for the link.
In the bottom box type the word Clicky and then press the finished button.
Now click on the preview button (third from left, looks like a piece of paper with a magnifying class) and you can test if your link works.
Close the preview window and click the post message button to save it all.
Here's a link that to a writeup that has some pictures.
Clicky
Oh and to the OP, My awning is always wet and it hardly ever rains here. Maybe the people with bent roller tubes know something we don't. If you bend it correctly so the center bow is up when it's stowed, then the water will run out the ends. :)
Okay, that was a joke people, don't go bending your awning tubes on my advice.

RE: Equal i zer Hitch Question
I think i tried using the bar once years ago. Now I don't know if I could even find the bar if I needed to. With a few blocks under the tongue jack I've put the bars on by hand for many years.
But to answer your question, you would use the bar to pry the arms off the L brackets.
Of course in a pinch you could jack it all the way up and then just grab the bars and pull them off the saddles. The design of the head will prevent the bars from dropping to the ground. But still keep your fingers, knees and toes out of the line of failure just in case that once in a lifetime catastrophic failure occurs, the head sockets break and the bars hit the ground under force.

RE: Elec. starbilizers and tongue jack?
Yes you should be able to plug the tow vehicle in to assist with a low battery.
If you want to know if you're properly wired to use the tow vehicle you can try a simple test.
Have someone go into the trailer and turn on an interior light. Then plug the trailer to the tow vehicle and see if the interior light gets brighter. If it does get brighter then you are properly wired to assist a low battery with vehicle off.
If there is no change in the interior light output, then start up the vehicle. At this point if the light does not get brighter then you are not properly wired. If the light does get brighter then you need to remember to start the vehicle to assist a low battery on the trailer.

RE: pop up crank problem
I remember on one of the manufacturers you had to over crank at the top by about 1/2 turn to reset the ratchet mechanism.

RE: Brand new TT has sewage odor
Turn off the water and waterpump. Open the flush valve on the toilet and take a look. If you decide to use a flashlight, tie it to your wrist so you don't accidentally drop it into the tank.

RE: Equal-i-zer Hitch ?
I like my Equal-i-zer. I shudder to think about a wireless brake controller.
Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I have a reservation about the statement that I see in all my wireless devices that states "This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation"
Even if this doesn't apply to a wireless brake controller, what happens if a OTR trucker with a huge CB amplifier keys his transmit button and squashes your wireless signal as you are stepping on the brakes

RE: black tank flush
Maybe you have two tank valves for the black tank. You might need to call the dealer or maybe crawl under and take a look.

RE: Flush nearly empty black water tank or not?
I would not have worried about it and have left my tanks partially full over the summer once. But toward the end you did mention a smell so that changes it a little bit.
If the trailer is not new, heck even if it is new you should probably flush it out. I would fill it up full and flush it. I don't use any chemicals in my tank and very rarely have any odor. Well to be fair, I get an odor when I dump the tank, but at that point I expect an odor and don't really care.
One pointer though if you have a nice powerful vent fan in the bathroom. Turn the fan off before you flush the toilet. Otherwise it will pull a big plume of smell up out of the tank. And I don't care if you use deodoizers, bleach, pinesol or the geo method. I don't want any smelly toilet fumes roiling up out of the tank and enveloping me in a cloud of who knows what as they head up to the vent fan.

RE: I was a busy boy today......
I like the mods. I've done the pegboard and vent covers too. I don't know on the covers rubbing the roof, but if there is any adjustment I would probably lift them up 1/4 inch just to be sure.

RE: Backing with E2 Trunnion Hitch
I have a 4 point Equal-i-zer but for your question it's all the same. I've never had a problem with tight turns, the bars just slide fore and aft on the L brackets. If a bar drops off the L bracket as reported above, then I would guess the brackets are mounted too far back from the tongue.
For reference, I can pull a tight u-turn at the end of my street. This is with the steering wheel turned full lock and I have to monitor the trailer through the turn to keep it from hitting the Suburban. I've never had a problem with the hitch through this or any other turn I've thrown at it.
Make sure the brackets aren't too far back on the tongue and you'll be fine. If you want to be sure, just take the setup to a big parking lot and back slowly into a tight turn. Now get out and check the clearance and the bars on the seats.

RE: Hot water question
I unfortunately have no idea where the water heater would be on the model, but if it does have a water heater it will work just like the one in your stick and brick house.
If it does have a water heater though it will have to have an access door on the outside of the trailer. So you might want to give a quick walk around the trailer looking for any storage doors that are slotted or vented in some way. Open that door and you will probably see a styrofoam box with some water hoses going to it.
Actually on second thought you probably won't see the styrofoam box, you'll probably see something like this.
Or take a picture of all four sides of the trailer and post them on here and we'll point out the door. :)
