An access panel is certainly part of any future plans should I have to replace our Atwood furnace with one of the newer models. So far, I've done fine as is, but an access panel could help with the...

I guess I've been lucky. I've removed and reinstalled our furnace three times now without having to remove anything on the outside or have something out there to push against. The first time, I...

Welcome Sam! My son lives in Fort Collins, and we've camped out there quite a bit, including stays at the local KOA, Horsetooth Reservoir, and his driveway near CSU. Beautiful area where you live. ...

I wish I had been that lucky.

I'll never know for sure about that first switch, but this last one was definitely kaput. It was intermittent at first with progressively longer times between...

I certainly see the advantages of that setup. On the other hand, when I recently changed the switch in our older furnace while camped at Bryce Canyon, I did it all inside with an electric heater...

I missed that other post about sail switches, but I'm glad I saw it this time around. What I'm really happy to see is the exterior furnace access door, which MAY mean that if we can't get parts for...

Hi Pat. Our fridge is the best cold weather fridge ever! We haven't done any real hot weather camping lately, even on our recent trip to Death Valley. It was really cold at night in places like...

Mine failed this last time. I tried blowing it out through the grill to no avail. I removed the furnace to check it. It wasn't dust unless it was dirt actually inside the switch. It moved freely...

I called Escape when we were out in Utah to see if they had any ideas for where to find the switch. They were sympathetic, but as expected, they don't stock parts for appliances.

I'm afraid it's going to be hard to find one. You're right to start looking though because this was the second time I've replaced ours. I'm getting to be way too proficient at this job. I see some...

No, that one doesn't have the right paddle. I went through this on our recent trip out west and had trouble finding the correct part. Dometic, who now owns Atwood, only had a couple of switches...

That's great! I bought a new sail switch, had ours completely out, found the little dust ball in there, and THEN learned about blowing it out from Tammie.

If I understand correctly, you're getting the two tubes aligned and partially slid together, but you're hitting some kind of resistance with an inch to go. Mine was a really snug fit and took a bit...

I just pulled the sail switch from ours and discovered a ball of dust interfering with the sail switch motion. We've been camping in some really windy dusty areas, and it apparently only takes a...
