    Looking for a passenger side windshield

    Most all windshields that are glass on frame use a urethane adhesive.

    Help replacing battery charger

    Basically that's it unless you have an odd arrangement. Pull the old one and compare to the replacement. There should be 120V power in and +12V (red) and -12V (black) out. Winnebago uses yellow for positive and white for negative for some reason, maybe that's some kind of industrial standard.

    2nd owner of 2018 winnebago minnie drop with outdoor kitchen

    What Kev said. Couple of other ideas - are there any propane appliances in the RV like a cook top? If so is that working? If your propane tank(s) are portable do you have one or two? If two there's probably a manifold at the tank that will automatically switch over. Check that out. Another...

    Call or email Winnebago Owner Relations, they should have those drawings available.

    Vista 26p shower skylight

    That's exactly what the skylight looked like on our Horizon. Before we sold it I completely refurbished all sealant on the roof and sidewall to roof joint. Some of the Dicor was beginning to separate from the surface of parts in random areas so that was easy to remove. Some was still firmly...

    Vista 26p shower skylight

    Sounds like another RV repair hack job. I replaced one of the roof vents on our previous Horizon and it took quite a bit of time to clean the roof surface as prep for the new vent. Good prep is like 99% of the job. Butyl tape is a very good adhesive for your window frames, that is until you try...

    House Battery Charging when driving

    Winnebago calls it the Battery Mode Switch. Before you start messing with the 12V system, please download and print your low voltage wiring diagrams. Here's a basic (simplified) diagram of our former Horizon (diesel pusher): [House battery bank] <> [disconnect solenoid] <> [battery mode...

    Advice

    There's rubber flaps (seals, gaskets, whatever term you prefer) that push against the four sides of the bedroom slide that should keep out any unwanted things.

    Advice

    That's highly unlikely, the lines and pump aren't close to the engine. Welcome to the forum. My 05' Horizon never had the bedroom slide creep out or in. My guess is the solenoid as well.

    Winnebago vectra 04 power problems

    When you say the generator won't start - does it crank but not start or there's no reaction whatsoever from the generator starter?

    Tail light installation

    3M 5200 sealant is the gold standard for marine applications and anything else that needs tenacious adhesive properties and is 100% waterproof. I always had a tube of it in ship's stores. The only negative is that it's not UV stable so its primary use is for bedding parts. 3M 4200 is UV stable...

    2005 Itasca, 350cat with Allison3000 trans problem

    Did you check the fluid level? When was it last serviced? Does it have Allison synthetic oil? Circa 2004/5 transmissions left the factory with regular dino fluid. I forgot if the transmission on our previous Horizon came with TransSynd oil or not. Here's a link to the troubleshooting manual.
