Old video, but certainly still relevant today. I like the nice calm pace. Gives anybody contemplating doing this confidence to try it themselves.

Yep you got screwed on this one, so much damage and broken systems I don’t understand why you bought it in the first place. Myself I would have pointed these flaws out to the previous owner and used them to argue the price down, then use the money I saved on buying this old and well worn motor home would go into making the motor home look new again. If you are not handy you probably should stay away for buying used motor homes without doing a lot of boring research.

We just bought a 23 y/o one. Oven taken out and cabinets put in. We use the Ninja flip oven for everything, even at home, works great. Will get flat one burner and store. Otherwise it has been great but will check the stuff on your video when we get it out on road. Stickers are cracked as well but it looks great!!

So I have replaced the thermocouple,interrupter, safety valve, and switch is cleaned. I get 22mv from red wire out of interrupter to switch and back through the blue wire. When I connect the blue wire to the interrupter, it drops to 0. Any thoughts?

I believe that this wonderful car has only a few problems. The first problem is the gasket. A gasket that sits in the driver's seat and criticizes this undoubtedly beautiful car. Another problem with this car is the automatic transmission, which is not designed for such a massive configuration, and the gasoline engine, which is not clear why Americans love it and everyone else hates it. at roughly the same price of gasoline and diesel, a gasoline engine consumes about 17 liters of fuel on the highway, while a 111 kW (151 hp) diesel engine consumes about 7 liters. within the limits of driving in the city, this indicator can be safely multiplied by 1.35-1.5, depending on the traffic.

You have a 20 plus RV. Everything you are talking about is maintenance. I have had mine since 2000 and have never had any problems.

@Schlick 2 жыл бұрын

Just an FYI for anyone thinking of a Rialta purchase: The engines are only 140 hp for the older models. Starting in 2002, they got upgraded to a more powerful 201 HP engine. Depending on your needs, the smaller, weaker engine might be fine. Might even get a few more MPGs. But travelling over hilly terrain, or towing, or carrying more than 2 people inside might require a 2002 or newer model year. The extra 61 hp really comes in handy, from what I've heard and read. Happy Travels !

You could have easily fixed the original door handle by punching out the pins that it pivots on. Purchase a reamer and 2 roll pins to reinstall. Less work than what you had to do.

You don't need to add a plate for the dead bolt. You just need to adjust the latch as far over as possible to the striker and then adjust the door at the hinges to move over towards the striker.

I'm up north with my featherlite gooseneck horse trailer that's converted to a toy hauler and it has this fridge. I will light it and the indicator just gets into the green I can hear the burner going and looked at it though the inspection cover burning pretty good. Give it like 10 minutes and it just shuts off. I tried cramming a piece of cardboard into the pilot button holding it in hoping that would keep it burning but it still shuts right off after 10 minutes or so. The last owner told me he replaced the thermocouple at one point. I'm a mechanic and can work on just about anything your video made perfect sense to me. I think I'm going to start with cleaning the burner and making sure the thermocouple is aligned properly. If that doesn't work I'll try checking the millivolts and hot wiring it. Any ideas on why it would turn off after awhile on it's own? I've been just restating it every time I can it seems to be staying decently cool

@vwbus79 4 жыл бұрын

That is a good question. If you release the safety valve and it goes out right away then I would suspect the voltage is to low.. If it stays lit for 10 minutes after you release the safety valve then perhaps the propane flow is being reduced as the fridge cools and the voltage drops below what the safety needs. Try keeping it on max cooling and see if it stays lit. I would clean the burner, and check the thermocouple alignment. If that does not work try bypassing the interrupter as a test only. If that works then you most likely have too much resistance in the wires or selector switch.

@1997cr80r 4 жыл бұрын

@@vwbus79 should have good propane flow I have a full tank and the furnace stove and water heater work great. I've only had the temperature set to 5 I did try turning it down some once no difference. When I get home I'll dig into it. How far should that indicator go into the green range? It only moves a couple needle widths into the green

@vwbus79 4 жыл бұрын

@@1997cr80rI am not sure how much into the green the needle should go as I replaced mine with a millivolt meter. I would say the higher the better as that means less resistance in the wires or selector switch. If you had the temperature knob at 5 it should stay on. It should also stay on as long as you depress the safety switch.

@@vwbus79 hey thanks for being responsive and making this great video I figured out my issue! My burner orifice was clogged up some. I damaged the burner and the orifice in the process of cleaning it but got it good enough that it stays lit and the indicator is all the way in the green. I used a thumb tac to clean the orifice hole but I might have reamed it out a tad too big I'm not sure but in process of removing the orifice it was pretty stuck I ended up twisting and breaking the metal between a couple of the burners air intake holes so I think it might be getting too much air now. But i took the burner cover off and started the fridge and found a very weak flame nothing like yours. I have a appropriate size flame now that's touching the thermocouple which it wasn't before but it's not a very clean burn and it's a rumbling flame. I ordered a new burner/orifice assembly so when that comes in I'll install it and let it run for a few hours to make forsure its ready to go and I'll report back again
