New member January 29, 2001, 09:23:59 am Yahoo Message Number: 1780Hello everyone! I've been following your postings for 6 mos or so and enjoyed the info and friendly discourse. Just flew to California and purchased our first LD at adealership in Santa Fe Springs. Its a one owner 1990 22" rear lounge on a 454 Chevy front end. Despite being 11 years old had only 38,000 miles. Drove back to Texas with no major problems but some probably expected on a used unit {even an LD!}Rain Leak through roof A/c. Non igniting furnace and Fridge that wont stay on continuously on propane tho works fine in other modes. Other curious problem is sewer pipe storage and hose length. Things being as big as they are here in Texas how in the world does anybody make adequate use of the tiny sewer hose and short storage compartment for it? I've already broken the compartment trying to stuff more hose down it! Sorry for the length of this initial message. I'll be less windy in subsequent ones. WE really love the LD already . What an improvement over our old 93 Ultra on the Ford 460 with its "secret"[as in every mechanic tried some different solution" vapor lock like shut down. Woulds appreciate any advice. Ill probably strap some three inch sewer hose to the back bumper.

Same caustion about air in the lines applies to the fridge, but the flow rate heere is so low that the symptoms are what you describe. Another cause is apparently failed control electronics. Find the fridge model number and checkout for TSB's at:http://www.rvmobile.comIn regards the roof leak, this can be serious, due to the weight of the AC. I recommend removing it and inspecting for wood damage before simply resealing - its good insurance.We have no trouble fitting a standard good-quality 10' sewer hose into our compartment, though we virtually never use a sewer hook-up. It reaches fine to all dumps, but is difficult to stretch out when cold.Enjoy your new purchase, and don't apologize for a longish post - if you don't say it, we can't help, and that's what the group is about.Steve

It would collect water, so I punched a couple of drain holes in it.bob phillips

New member Reply #6 – January 30, 2001, 07:27:56 am Yahoo Message Number: 1801The original collapsable hose came with our Lazy Daze. When it developed leaks around the plastic spiral reinforcement, we replaced it with a section of hose from the local RV store.Check Mark Nemeth's web site using the link provided on this site. He has some insight into attaching the fittings to the ends of hoses. It can be a drag stretching the hose over the tight-fitting connectors.bob
