I am a Master Certified Mobile RV Technician in Georgia. I never make an assumption that a specific wire color carries a specific voltage or has a specific function. If a manufacturer runs out of a certain wire color, they aren’t going to shut down production while waiting on their next shipment of wire! They are going to use whatever wire they have in stock to complete the job and move on. It may be a different gauge and different jacket color than the same wire run in a different camper from the same assembly line. That is why conductor testing skills are essential to the RV Technician.
Subscribed an hour ago when I found ya. Commented more than once on other posts, stuff about your teaching style Ect.. In case you don't look back on older videos. Thanks again here. You def have a "heart to share" the info...Great job!
Question!!! Video request.....You did a video on your tools and I loved it. Could you do a video on your most common parts you keep in stock, misc. materials, and why you don't keep certain things in stock. PLease Please
LMAO.....I see myself whenever you are talking.I can start out just fine on a subject - then suddenly my head pops a related item in it and the next thing you know I am on something else...eventually getting back to the subject at hand...(Believe I am ADHD?) Also sometimes bright shiny things will do this to me as well..lol. Enjoyed your first 10 minute+ show and look forward to seeing me of them. Thanks to you and (Your staff helping you) with this, Nice job!!
On the Winnebago yellow wiring , every 12- 18" you will find a stamped alpha-numeric code. Go to the Winnebago website download the code manual and you have the decoder ring for what all those yellow wires do.
My question concerns changing from a couch to theater seats in a slide. If I am changing the weight of what I sit on in the slide, will I mess up the operation of the slide? Also have you seen problems of utilities (sink,refrigerator, or stove) in a slide? Am I am being a worry wort about potential problems (water leaks,gas leaks,electrical cords bind or fray)?
Hi Ronald! Thanks for this question! We could either submit this to be answered in a video, or else you might be interested in our remote service. Will you email me at: tricia@myrvworks.com, subject "Question", so I can give you a little more detail about each? Thank you!
Please please tell me how to troubleshoot the automatic fans on the outside of the fridge. I used to hear them cycle on and off all the time and I haven't heard them in almost 2 weeks. Something isn't right 😔 I have a Norcold double door model in a slide out that has the upper and lower access panels. I've read it could be some external thermostat-like switch but I wouldn't have the 1st clue what to do
Always a hoot to watch you and listen to you! I love to learn. My question: my RV ac unit trips the breaker when the heat pump comes on. I went up and cleaned out the attic. Didn’t “see” anything wrong. Gas furnace works great. This is the first malfunction I’ve had on my 2005 Ford Winnebago Aspect 26c. Can you help? TIA
Hi Bill! Thanks for this! We can either add this to be addressed in a video, or else you might find our remote service a good option. Will you email me at: tricia@myrvworks.com with the subject line "Question" and I will explain each of these in more detail? Thanks!
I'm a retired electrician but when I changed out my rv fluorescents for led nothing worked until I got my meter out and discovered which color wire was hot.
Would you happen to know why my furnace sometimes does not turn on? I watched all your furnace videos but non of them show the same symptom as mine. When my thermostat clicks inside the rv I usually hear the furnace kick on after that but now i can only hear a single click from the furnace . This is the funny part, if I give it a light tap on the side of the furnace it will then turn on. Any idea what cause it to turn on after a light tap on the side?
Hi Ed! This is becoming a repeat request, and I think that will bump it up on the list of videos to make! Will you send this request to: tricia@myrvworks.com, subject "UA-cam Video Request"? Thanks!

Thanks for all the good information and thanks for the quality work on my truck camper! I'm ready to hit the road now!
Thanks for the reminder to follow the wire and not the color. I ran into that today!

Thank you Darren for another great video!

AC/DC require different thought process. Red/Black is DC standard, Black/White is an AC standard. But you’re right, follow the path...
Be thankful you don't have to trace winnibego all yellow wiring, lots of fun

Excellent. Thanks! 😀
Darren, you are correct, there is NO standard colors. I have 120v wires in my Tiffin motor home. Hot is YELLOW Neutral is White.
You'd think they make things so much easier by using the original electrical coded wires, or certain things a certain color wire..

How do I get more air though my duct with a domedic a/c unit
Was it Winnebago 10-15 years ago that thought it was a good idea to make all the 12 volt wires in the whole coach all white and purple? That was fun.
My 1990 Holiday Rambler Imperial uses purple wires for hot to various places.
@@choimdachoim9491 yes, that's nice ain't it.
How did you make your 2 seconds on 2 seconds off brake tool?
Would you happen to know why my furnace sometimes does not turn on? I watched all your furnace videos but non of them show the same symptom as mine.

The parking lot at the west end of the lake would be a good spot 👍
Bring your discover pass 😵😠
Video request how about a service trailer tour?

Algae how does it grow in fuel tanks and how is it repair to remove
Would love to see a tour of the inside of your service trailer.
I owned two 60's vintage British cars, battery's were 6vdc positive ground. Lucas Electrics was the worse of the worse.......sri UK
The reason the British drink warm beer? Their refrigerators are made by Lucas Electric... 😎
You spend 9 minutes on tangents.
Try working on an airplane
Some good info, but tooooooo much rambling !
We like when you did your videos on the job. You cheat, 3 min. Before you go to the question.
Too much rambling. Please get to the point. There is not 10 minutes worth of information.

Hi Tim, we will still have on-the-job videos, in addition to the Q & A videos. Thanks!
