Hi: Got up today and no wind or rain. Amy decided to do some laundry and got that done. I decided to check out the jack and slideout system, and cleaned all the connections on the solenoids. Loosened them from the pump motor and removed all the wires etc and used a wire brush to clean all contacts before the manager of the park caught me under the motorhome. Well, got things cleaned up and rehooked up and was attaching the solenoids to the pump motor when guess what?? RIGHT. It started raining again, so I came out from under the motor home. I don't work in the rain any more. Sure was hoping that cleaning the contacts and wire connections would give me a system that works. Will have to wait a while. Like Hank Williams said, "I don't go fishing in the Rain" or do much else these days. These metal joints seem to soak up the cold rain, and believe me, the rain here is cold. It's 1300 and the outside temp is 50 and falling.
Hope I can find someone else to check this rig out in the morning. If I don't, I'll have to stay until Thursday for the appointment I have in Billings, MT. About 125 miles north of us. It is on our way though.
Well, wish us luck.
Semper Fi
