How to Fix RV Garage Door Delamination: Complete Repair Guide 2024

Finally facing the inevitable with my 1994 Fleetwood Jamboree Rallye garage doors that are 30 years old and completely delaminating at the seams — repair or replace? The extruded aluminum frame corners that are supposed to be screwed together are failing because the screws keep breaking under stress. What started as minor separation has now progressed to the point where the structural integrity of the entire door system is compromised.

I've noticed that not only are the corner joints failing, but the door panels themselves seem to be separating from their backing material, and the weather seals around the perimeter are starting to pull away as well. The doors don't close properly anymore, leaving gaps that let in water and debris. I'm concerned about further damage to the garage area and contents if I don't address this comprehensively.

I need a complete repair approach that addresses the delamination issue, reinforces the structural components, and replaces the failing seals. Simply adding corner braces feels like a band-aid solution, and I'm worried about drilling out the broken screws without causing more damage to the aluminum frame. What's the proper way to tackle this type of comprehensive garage door repair on an older RV? …more

Ford 460 RV Fuel Pump No Power: Complete Electrical Troubleshooting Guide

Got a Ford 460 RV where the fuel pump went completely dead with zero electrical power reaching it. Two weeks into RV ownership and I'm already that guy asking "why won't my rig start?" 🤦‍♂️

My 1994 National Dolphin with Ford 460 ran like a champ to the campground, but after 4 days of living the good life, it decided to throw a tantrum when it was time to leave. Engine turns over fine but won't fire up - classic "I don't wanna go home" syndrome. Throws some starting fluid at it and it runs briefly, so I'm thinking fuel delivery issue.

Checked the fuel pump and sure enough, zero power getting to it. Being the resourceful newbie I am, I ran a jumper wire directly to the pump and made it home just fine. But I know this isn't exactly the "proper" long-term solution my wife keeps reminding me about. Where should I start troubleshooting the electrical issue? Is there some safety switch I don't know about that might have tripped during our stay? …more

1994 Southwind RV Fuse Panel Diagram & Location Guide

Replaced my power mirrors after seeing my neighbor's 1994 Southwind ones work flawlessly, but mine still don't respond and I'm afraid to randomly pull fuses. I'm a bit nervous about poking around in the electrical system without proper guidance.

I can't seem to locate the fuse panel diagram anywhere under the dash area. Should I be concerned about testing fuses myself, or is there a safe way to figure out which one controls the power mirrors? I'm worried about causing more damage if I start pulling fuses randomly. Where should these diagrams normally be located, and what's the safest approach if I can't find the original diagram? …more

E4OD Transmission Rebuild Guide: Motorhome vs Truck Torque Converter Differences

Planning my annual spring RV prep for the 1994 motorhome, that stubborn E4OD transmission keeps reminding me the rebuild I've been avoiding can't wait another season. I'm specifically wondering if the motorhome E4OD has a unique torque converter compared to truck models. When I get this transmission on the workbench, what should I know about finding the right torque converter? Are there any key differences I need to watch out for? I want to make sure I order the correct parts and do this rebuild correctly. …more
