[Day 9] Visiting Brighton Beach, Dealing With More RV Troubles
We took a family trip out to Brighton Beach, in New York City. But, it was also a day of dealing with RV mechanical issues. Another problem showed up, but the good news is that by the end of the day, I made headway.

A slow day in the campground. I used the day to catch up on some business. Also, the kids managed to clog up the RV toilet pretty well.

[Day 2] Long Travel Day + A Theory On My Problematic Refrigerator
We traveled from north Florida all the way into southern North Carolina. The KOA we land in isn’t much to look at, but it suits me well as I’m just tired of driving. Plus, I have a theory on my fridge and why it stopped working.

[Day 8] Visiting Natural History Museum in NYC, And Leaking Generator Fuel Lines (arrgh)
On day 8, we visited the Natural History Museum, next to New York Central Park. The place was PACKED! But also, a new problem reared it’s head with the RV…
Hi David. Thanks for sharing your RV with us. 🙂 I wonder if you would share the costs associated with it. How much did you pay for the original purchase and how much were all of the repair/maintenance things that you did? My husband and I are doing lots of research to decide if an older motorhome might be for us (I hope so!!), but I have to be able to budget appropriately.
Also, do you (or maybe someone on your blog) know where a complete novice can get some hands on ‘training’? Things like how to work with all the components of the motorhome, what to look for regarding potential problems, etc. I do have the pre-purchase inspection checklist (thank you!) but would like to get some hands on training before I even go to look at my first potential purchase. Did I mention I’m willing to pay for the training?? 😉 Did I also mention that I live in Florida (northeast)?
Last, but not least, do you know any reputable RV inspectors?
My Norcold is set at 2 and keeps everything as cold as needed. No plans to change anything on it at this point. I really like the carpet in the cab area and the new floor in the main area. Good job!
You might be one of the lucky ones, or perhaps an entirely different model. Mine is the 1200 LRIM. But, Norcold is often called the “No Cold” for a reason. 🙂
Enjoyed your tour of your motorhome. We have a 2006 Winnebago and are also having problems with our “No cold” refrigerator as my hubby calls it. I am definitely interested in seeing your video on replacing it with the Amish alternative. Thanks for making these videos!
Yeah, we’ll see how it goes. I may pull the trigger and order that new unit in the next couple months. Never done something like that before so it will be a learning experience. 🙂
