Hey Wanderlost- Maybe it was rain water that breached the caulking bead around the A/C unit. Yep I'm pretty darn sure that's it. Same thing happened to me just the other day on our trip to Yuma. Raining cats and dogs although none got in, just water :D

Spotting 190's

We're on our way from Portland OR to Yuma AZ for the winter. Traveling down the Oregon coast on US101. Yesterday between Newport and Gold Beach OR we spotted 3 B190s heading North. I was to busy waving and flashing my lights to see their plates so don't know where the nest is but pretty cool to see ...

Road Story---Yikes!!!

Last Oct we became snowbirds. Bought a little place in Yuma AZ and had a wonderful time. We used our B190 as our primary vehicle. Made the trip down w/o any problems. Several day trips during our stay found us on washboard gravel roads that loosened any number of connectors, wires, nuts and the gawd...

circuit breakers

Dave,
Thanks for the photos. My circuit breakers are indeed there. There was a cover on them and they were invisible to me w/o my glasses. I only have a power drivers seat. Circuit breaker was good. Need a new motor. Thanks again for the photos.

Vehicle circuit breaker panel

So, the driver power seat adjustment does not seem to be getting power. I've jiggled the wires with no luck. For the life of me I can't find the circuit breaker panel. My manual (1996) says "the panel can be accessed through the steering column lower opening. Remove the cover using the quick re...

Water heater won't

Thanks for the info. Took the burner assy out and found a cotton ball spider nest in the tube. Just like the caution in the manual says. Typical of me to bypass the obvious.

Black water flush

Here's something I do often to clean the tank and seems to help keep the sensors clean too. I put a bag of ice in the tank and let it slosh around while I drive

Water heater won't

Water heater will not light. I am getting electronic spark but no ignition. I did try to light manually but the flame came out in the tube slits about 2 inches back from where it should light. Freaked me out! I did try to blow out the heater line with pressurized air but no luck.

Dead house battery

Arggggh, the house battery went dead (probably the original). I want to blame a day trip in the desert on washboard gravel road that shook loose a connection. Nothing worked on the house side & generator would just click. Traced what wires/connections I could and did find a loose battery connect...
