Articles About RV Problems and Modifications

Over the years I have owned several RVs. You can see some photos and statistics in this article, Good Times on the Road.

RVs always have problems. Mostly they are minor but occasionally a manufacturer makes a major mistake. There are also tweaks that RV owners like to make to their rigs. This area of my website details all the problems and modifications I have made to various RVs over the years.

Select from one of the topics to the right. Below are the most recent articles.

	Switch for Hot Water Electric Heating Element Forest River Wildcat > Problems The Wildcat has an electrical heating element in the hot water heater. I like having the heating element but it was a pain to use because the on/off switch is outside behind the water heater access door. Here is my 120 volt switch solution.
	Turn Master Bed 90 Degrees Forest River Wildcat > Inside Modifications The bed in the Wildcat was too short for me. I am 6' 2'. A good friend told me to buy a piece of foam rubber 6' x 6' x 5'. Slide the mattress away from the wall by 6 inches and place the foam rubber in the gap.

	Sliding Dinette Cushions Forest River Wildcat > Inside Modifications I got really tired of the dinette cushions sliding out from under me. I tried a couple of things and found something that worked.
	Carpet Protector Under Table Forest River Wildcat > Inside Modifications Two small boys occasionally have accidents and spill food under the table. The Wildcat has carpet under the table. Here is how I solved that problem.
	Two Propane Leaks Forest River Wildcat > Problems Check your propane lines for leaks using a solution of liquid dish washing detergent and water. I had two leaks on Forest River Wildcat.

	Slide Out has Ripped the Black Fabric Forest River Wildcat > Problems My slide out is slightly out of adjustment on my Forest River Wildcat. It needs to move forward about 1/4 of an inch. The rear edge of the floor of the slide out has rubbed a piece of metal on the frame and worn through the fabric on the edge of the slide out floor at the rear.
