Your 2000 Safari Sahar likely has an ACME fitting on the LPG tank that allows for transfer from portable tanks. However, liquid-to-liquid transfer requires specific equipment and safety precautions since you'll be dealing with a permanently mounted tank system.
Fix LP gas detector false alarms in RVs. Covers trigger sources, sensor age, proper placement, and when to replace your propane detector.
Guide to Extend-A-Stay RV propane systems. Covers installation, operation, and safety for connecting external propane tanks.
Cracked Dometic AC covers can be temporarily repaired with plastic welding or epoxy, but replacement is recommended for long-term durability. Roof vent caps are typically made of UV-resistant ABS plastic and can be replaced individually for $15-30.
A gas detector that beeps every minute during nighttime hours (7PM-7AM) is typically experiencing low voltage issues, sensor degradation, or interference from temperature changes and humidity. The timing pattern suggests power-related problems rather than actual gas leaks.
Keep your RV generator running reliably with this comprehensive maintenance and troubleshooting guide for Onan, Generac, and Cummins units.
Protect your RV from freeze damage with this comprehensive winterization and de-winterization guide.
Fix your RV refrigerator with this guide covering Dometic, Norcold, and residential fridge issues.
While there's no direct plug-and-play replacement for the Atwood GC10A-4E with a gas-only tankless unit, you can upgrade to dual-fuel tankless heaters like the Girard GSWH-2 or Truma AquaGo. These maintain electric capability while providing instant hot water and better efficiency.
A Norcold N7LX.3F running more frequently than normal typically indicates cooling efficiency problems. Check door seals, thermostat calibration, and ensure proper ventilation around the cooling unit.
A strong ammonia smell from your RV refrigerator indicates a serious refrigerant leak in the cooling system. Stop using the refrigerator immediately and ensure proper ventilation, as this poses health and safety risks.
For F53 chassis wheel bearing service, contact Ford dealerships or heavy-duty truck shops since Camping World doesn't service motorhome chassis. Your beeping propane detector likely needs replacement, and the slides are interlocked with the LP detector for safety.
Furnace that lights for 5-10 seconds then shuts off is classic flame sensor failure. Clean the sensor with steel wool or emery cloth - do not use sandpaper. If cleaning fails, replace the sensor. Located near burner, single wire connection.
Your Norcold absorption fridge shows classic signs of cooling unit inefficiency - warm freezer (0-5°F vs ideal -5 to 0°F) and cold refrigerator (30-35°F vs ideal 35-38°F). This typically indicates failing cooling coils or poor heat exchange that requires professional repair or replacement.
