RE: Need help replacing charging circuit solenoid.
I might be confused!
Center common contact goes to the control wire
MOM goes to coach battery
Dual mode goes to the chassis battery

RE: Need Help with Utility Trailer Decision
Remember dimensional lumber is not sized per identification. for example a 2X4 is closer to 1.5X 3.5
Treated lumber comes in different chemical methods.

Try Colaw
Measure your compartment before calling. I was able to get replacement from them that was even the same color.

RE: NEED ASSISTANCE... ATWOOD AFMD FURNACE
It would not hurt to jumper circuit breaker for testing only! You could take test with voltmeter. One lead to ground, other lead to each side of breaker terminals. You should have 12 volts one each side.

RE: NEED ASSISTANCE... ATWOOD AFMD FURNACE
Here is manual that should help.Manual
I would blow the furnace compartment out good with compressed air, compressor or can will work.
Have you tested the thermostat? At furnace connect the two blue wires on terminal block. Furnace fan should start immediately. In 15-20 seconds burner should kick in. separating the two blue wires the furnace should go into cool down mode and then shut off.
If no operation, Check the circuit breaker to insure it is energized. This is mounted on motor housing.

RE: Need Help with Utility Trailer Decision
I would go with the steel. Most utility trailers are store outside when not in use, making them more prone to weather damage. The steel open deck allows for debris from objects carried to fall through keeping deck cleaner.
In the event you haul small items, you could simply lay a tarp to prevent boxes or the like from moisture and road debris.

RE: North Whidbey Rv Park @ Oak Harbor,WA
Con is it is pretty close to WA 20. Noise could effect some people. If possible try to get site on old Coronet Bay side of park.
Pro is the fact it is walking distance to Deception Pass State Park.
It has been a while since we were there.

RE: Need help replacing charging circuit solenoid.
That could be due tovoltage drop on the small wire. Voltage drop to the voltmeter could be slightly effected by voltage drop.

RE: Need help replacing charging circuit solenoid.
No, the coil will draw very low amperage, maybe 1 amp.

RE: Need help replacing charging circuit solenoid.
I am saying whacking the relay (solenoid) made the connections inside work.
It maybe wise to replace it! I don't like to throw parts at a problem, but in this case it could be worth it.

RE: Ford Starting /House Charging Question UPDATE Test
I would not come off the alternator. I would look for a circuit that is hot in run such as wipers, radio heater and the like. Use a fuse tap from fuse block. Some rigs have fuse block under hood with switched power.
My reasoning is if something happen in alternator tap, you could have damage to charging system.

RE: Portland Oregon Parks question
Airport is in northeast Portland, close to I-205 bridge into Washington east of Vancouver. Memory serves there is some long term RV/trailer parks Orchards, WA.
My thoughts would be look in Washington. Camas/Washougal area.
Maybe this one!

RE: Ford Starting /House Charging Question UPDATE Test
Most people would not know if the charge/isolator energizes. They would normally proceed right by the on position and go for start.
Older rigs did not have the electronics. My 1993 has electronics to delay the energizing. Some had the Mom/off/dual switch. That is what we had in my old 1986 Itasca. It sort of worked! Switch failed then connectors on relay and finally relay corroded internally.

Yours should be very similar to this one from another post.Drawing
Your chassis information should be very similar if you put Winnebago info like on this other post.
