Let us know what happens.

That does cause the trailer's running lights to be on.. :p I suppose that I should have mentioned that I turn the headlights on but the subject was the trailer's running lights so I failed to say how I got those lights on. For me, turning on the headlights is part of preparing to tow...

Perhaps we should try to get laws passed that will make it illegal to drive electric cars on the roads? Ater all, 100 years ago the people who wanted to keep motorcars off of the roads failed to outlaw them and look at the result! :unsure:

Its unfortunate that you didn't come here before you bought it but if you will tell us more about what you bought we may be able to help you figure out what to do next. What year, make, and model is it? What chassis/engine does it have?

As I asked before, have you tried to light the stove top with the supply valve closed? You might also be wise to see if there is a mobile RV tech in your area.

I don't think that any of us realized that it is working properly when on 120V power. In that case, I would agree that cleaning the flue and related parts is the next thing to do.

And also the necessary tools.

Have you tried to light the stove top burner with the valve shut? If you can and you are sure that valve is closed, that would mean that the valve is bad and needs to be replaced. To do that you will need the propane tank to be empty.

While checking the flue is a good idea, I don't buy that it is getting an error from too slow cooling as no such error exists in any of the refrigerator control circuit boards that I have seen either OEM or from Dinosaur. Have you tried the internal diagnostics on service manual pages 63 & 64...

Another advantage to taking it to the Tiffin factory is that you can know for sure that it is done correctly.

The importance of the location of the TV actually depends on the people who travel in the RV and how long they stay in it. And we don't all agree about the best location for it but high mounts tend to be used when eye level mounting locations are hard to find. If you watch much TV, then it can...

Most manufacturers of class A RVs build models that range from entry(low budget) level to at least mid-price or above. Brands like Newmar, Tiffin, Winnebago, and a few others do have better reputations but after 20 years or more the RV that was the very best when it left the factory could be...

I was not aware of Tiffin having that problem but back in the 1990's the Bounder gas chassis units had a lot of that. The problem there was that class A builders typically add extensions to lengthen the frame rails and some were not strong enough. Since Phaeton is a pusher, I'm surprised to hear...

It sure looks like one. or
