Great video, Rick. Those flush valves seem to be quite prone to wear and minor leakage. We just replaced our valve, too. So happy I didn’t need to pull the toilet! 🥽💩🤢
Really great tips about repairs and parts. I think I’m gonna grab a couple sail switches to add to our kit. 👍👍
Oh, I forgot to mention… great riff of “LaGrange” in this video. 🎸⚡️⚡️ 👍
Rick,
I now need to replace the “shower sweep”. Where did you purchase your replacement? Can you send me the link?
TIA!
I purchased our shower sweep from Woodland Airstream online store. Here is a link woodlandairstreamparts.com/products/airstream-drip-vinyl-shower-door-sweep-703911-100?_pos=1&_sid=6065a29fb&_ss=r
@@thewrightlife - thanks. Order placed!
@LeeH-Ranger83 glad to help out!
Do you have a list of your must haves?
Hi…here is the items and links to the three must have parts. Thanks for watching and safe travels
City Water Inlet Valve: amzn.to/3spfQLq
Furnace Sail Switch: amzn.to/3YTU0f8
Dometic Toilet Water Valve: amzn.to/47UEcgw
Another great video! Thanks for showing the access to the water inlet! We need to order those spare parts. See ya down the road.
Honda 3200i on /off switch that is all.
FYI - looks like the small white block is part number 204280, cost is $3.99 each at Woodland parts
Great…thanks for sharing. Safe travels.
Rick,
ANOTHER Great video. I’m have 2 of the 3 items you discussed. All part the f PCCs / PCIs - I will be ordering “Sail-switches” by COB today. See you down the road.

Thanks…happy to hear the video was useful. Always learning and sharing with the AS community. Safe travels.
We have a 2010 27 fb International. We carry spare latches/parts for lockers and cabinets. We do a lot of traveling, last year over 10,000 miles. Latches and hinges need to adjusted and occasionally replaced.
Hi…great comment. Spare latches are a great addition to the parts bin. We keep an assortment on hand at all times. Thanks for watching and safe travels.
How funny! We have the exact same generator! We love it!!
It is a great generator as long as the operator remembers how to start it. 😂. Safe travels guys
What brand of air conditioner is that? Is it a 2000 or more to run the air?
The AC is a Dometic with an Easy Start installed. The generator is a Firman dual fuel generator (Gas or LPG ) from Costco. The generator can power the entire trailer with no problem.
Another great video. Can you please help me understand what actually goes wrong with the water inlet?
It is a plastic component and is prone to leak over time and can cause water damage to your AS.
Rick,
I’m unable to get your “more” drop down to work. Can you send me your Amazon link for the sail-switch? TIA
Lee…here are the links to the three parts in the video. Hope this helps.

@@thewrightlife - Thanks Rick! Just ordered. When I clicked on the “more” link in your video it would take me to a library “RV Short takes” - weird. All good 👍! Off to the gym.
Two tips on the shower sweep. (1) Order the small hard white plastic block from Woodland that installs under the hinge side of the bottom door frame and raises the whole door a bit. That reduces the scissor action on the sweep between the door and the metal threshold. I bought two blocks and also installed one on the opening side to support the weight of the door while on the road. My particular door required me to reduce the height of the second block on the opening side. Super easy install using pre-attached VHB. (2) Trim the height of the plastic wiper on the sweep to just protrude below the aluminum threshold lip by only about 0.1”. That’s all it needs to redirect the water back into the shower. When done like this, the sweep undergoes less stress and redirects the water best if you orient the wiper on the inside of the shower; opposite of what you did. I wish there was a way to post photos but let me know if all of this makes sense. Contact me on Addicts if photos would be helpful.
Great suggestion do you have the part number or item description for the blocks. My door sweep also failed after 1 year and now need to replace for the second time
@@davidmiller3909, Part 204280.
Great tip. We’re on the road right now but I will look at ordering the parts and trying to adjust the door and sweep as suggested. Safe travels.
