RV education videos. I started repairing RV at the age of 19 and found the industry fascinating. I started digging for info and talking with other tradesmen who I considered experts in there trade (electricians, mechanics both heavy and automotive, electronics techs, master carpenters cabinet makers, welder fabricators) I used the relationships and the knowledge from them and other RV techs to excel through the industry. To this day I continue to build my knowledge base to better serve my customers. I am offering a $50 phone consultation fee payable through PayPal

Cummins Onan 5500 Generator stator rotor issues

Had a stator burn out in this unit and need to install a new one. Found there to be allot of issues trying to find one for this year of generator. The reason being is they no longer sell the stator and rotor separate it comes as a matched set. As well when you get the matched set the stator and rotor are shorter so now the bolts that hold the brush cap on are to long that was another issue that...

No volume too quiet.
the new igniter comes with the grommets I noticed. Thanks
What size drill bit for the holes?
I used 1/2”
Thank you very much for this video series.. it has helped me replace the burner on my furnace without having a tech come to the campground... excellent job.. thanks again..
Glad it helped
Great video, I have the same kind of furnace, I'm just wondering how do I disconnect the wires from the thermostat to the furnace before I take the furnace out of the rv
They will be down at the furnace two blue wires.
I have an 8535-IV DCLP. When thermostat cycles it onn the fan is not starting. There's a buzz/clicking sound and then everything quits with a Fault Code indicatin "limit switch or airflow problems". Checked the sail switch with the VoM & it's good. Haven't tested the limit switch yet, but from your videos, I'm gathering that if the fan isn't running, it hasn't proceeded to the point where the limit switch would yet be a factor. Is that correct? What else should I be checking?
Still check the limit switch, but it sounds from your description that it might be the relay one the board giving up.
Thanks. I finally got back to working on the furnace and first tried to start it again. The fan did not start. When I checked the circuit board for the fault code, it was a continuous, slow blink. I can't find that described anywhere. Do you know what it indicates? I turned off the thermostat and the relay at the furnace. When turned back on, the flashing started immediately.
A rodent has chewed my igniter wire off. Do you suggest a source for a replacement ? I don't want to buy something cheap off of Amazon finding out that I have to do this all over again. 26:14
The Amazon one will be ok.
Thanks for the video. I have been working through diagnosis. This video has proven pretty helpful, but I am still stuck with a furnace that won't turn on. It was working fine, and then the next day, just wouldn't get going at all-no attempt to fire up, bow, click. Nothing. Seem to have power at the thermostat and tested the switch, after resetting it and it won't go. I am getting a new sail switch, but the one that's in there, seem to be flapped open and away from the tripping device, so I don't know if that is my problem? I am also getting no light on the circuit board. Any insight on how to proceed or potential confounding aspects would be appreciated.
As long as the sail switch and high limit switch are good I would start leaning towards the board
How do you disassemble the model with the gas pipe coming over the top of the heat exchanger end of the furnace? Just swing it around to unscrew it?
Yes that is correct

I live alone in my unit year round, in northern alberta, therefore I have learned alot about maintenance of unit. The furnace however made me uncomfortable ... until I found your videos. I had to thank you for being so helpful in your explanations and video shots, even if a little shaky, 😊. I am confident in some of the repairs and also knowing my limitations. With thanks, keep up the good work.
Glad they helped. Yes the video part is not the best but the info is still there on day I’ll start possibly redoing them. Thanks again.

do you have a part number for the sail switch?
Do you have the same model of furnace?
@@thecanadianrvrepairguy3062 I have a different model. I found out that the battery was bad and once I replaced the battery it worked.

This is actually the best video on Atwood furnaces on youtube. You basically told me that if the gas is turning on but I do not hear the igniter working, then it is a problem with the igniter itself. So I assume that an igniter can actually go bad.
Yes they can or it still can be a board issue.
First off, great video!. I have an Atwood 8520. I have switched the board between both units and I still cannot get the rear to click on. The relay does not click and the fan does not start. I have power to the board. I verified that the fan does work on 12 volt power but I cannot get this unit to start the fan...
@@zr8cwith the blue wires twisted together check for 12v coming out of the board to the fan.
Very good video for this furnace. I used a crowfoot for the gas regulator fitting. Problem is, the threaded opening for reinstalling the fitting somehow got damaged, so the fitting will not go back on. Such soft metal.
Yes it is soft need to be really carful on install.
How to wire it to test?
Yellow=ground Red=positive Blues are t-stat just twist them together and unhook to shut down
My Atwood 8940 III DCLP starts, ignites, lights and runs for a few seconds then repeats until lockout. I've checked, limit switch, sail switch and igniter, all check good. I could really use some insight of what to check next. Only light flashes I get are when it locks out.
It could be the board or the ignitor not seeing the flame. Is the ceramic around the ignitor cracked or damaged
You familiar with the hydro flame 8900-II series? Mine runs with !20 volt AC and 24 volt thermostat. What thermostat would you recommend?
That’s more of a personal preference I find depending on what your looking for
@@thecanadianrvrepairguy3062 - OK, I wasn't sure which would work. Then I realized the regular ones for houses would and bought a Honeywell
Literally the only video I can find to pull the sail switch on this model. I’m cleaning mine. Thanks man
No worries guess I should do some more of these videos.
Thanks for the instruction man. I’ve determined I’ve probably got a bad or dirty sail switch, same model as this, Atwood 8531-IV. What’s the easiest way to get that out wo pulling the whole unit?
1/2 inch holes?
Yes 1/2”
Thank you very much for taking the time to share.
My pleasure!
alot of videos, but nothing on the results?
I realize every job is different, but on the average using the 6x6 grid, how much area can you cover with one sell unit (resin+hardener)
Would depend on how thick and how bad it’s broken down.
I've seen where you mentioned this would likely work on wood/Styrofoam combo. I've been looking from underneath contemplating adding supports when I found your video. Question is, I do see the floor move (push down) when someone walks on a problem spot. Is that what this is helping with in general or should I keep looking at adding supports here? Thanks for the video btw!
Thanks for video really helpful. Couple question you can help with, can you drill 3/8 hole or is 1/2 better. How deep is the hole, just threw the top plywood not too deep into foam?
Thank you this helped a lot I figured out my limit switch was bad 👍🏻👍🏻
Glad it helped
Thank you for this video this was the only video that I found that explained step by step what I needed to repair my floor .
Thanks for your demo. Just what I needed.
Glad it was helpful!

How do you test the flame sensor/ igniter? I have tested sail switch and limit and both check out good. Blower motor just runs and it does not even try to click/ igniter. Thanks
Need some help here so I did check the sail switch and limit switch with multimeter like in first video and both are working. I turn on the heater and it just blows cold air no heat not sure if it’s not igniting I do here a click a little after the blower comes on and the click comes back again few times but no heat at all. Could it be the ignitor itself or gas line or could it even be the Thermostat that’s not working properly. The heater was working on the unit prior and was working fine all of a sudden just stopped working and only blew cool air Anyone who can help me out point me to direction go now since I know both switches are working

My buddy's rv the exhaust stinks and has soot coming out
Exactly the video I needed thx dude!
your very knowledgeable...but your music is too fucking loud mate... and keep the mic closer to you...
Where do the 2 wires in the new black loom coming fromt the stator go? I think a1 and b1?
SOUND IS SO LOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, after turning it on, mine would work OK until we went to bed. THEN, I would get up to pee and it would be like 30 in the Rv. The thermostat would be set just fine. I troubleshooted the silly POS but when I was pricing a part I found I could buy an entire brand new CORE furnas (that which slides into the metal sleeve) for $398. its on its way. Some things just aren't worth the hassle. !
The best tutorial I have watched. Thanks you very much for your uploads.
Nice looking at your shoes.
Very helpful!! Thank you so very much.
I couldn't hear shit. I'm more confused now.
Can you tell me how to disconnect the gas from the valve where it passes through the top of the furnace sheet metal and connects directly to the valve on the underside of the metal?
I have the atwood with the attached gas line. How do you get that out?
In the third how to video is a different set up from what I can tell. I am trying to get the gas line fitting separated from the gas valve assembly and I’m unsure how to do so as it’s STUCK. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
