I had the same problem except mine didn’t work at all. I confirmed that power was getting to the switch first. I took the switch out (on back very small place to press in prong like thing and was able to pry it apart. It is fairly simple switch design. The contacts inside had very slight corrosion on them. The copper was just brown/green. Take a minute to see how it works and sand off the metal rod, and all sides and edges of the copper contacts. I was able to snap it back together . Works perfectly now.

@CampingFamily12 күн бұрын
Some things to check. Make sure to bleed the air out of the line if you are using propane. Also make sure your tank valve is open so propane flows. This will make sure propane is fed to the unit. Then make sure to have the power button turned to on. I seem to recall the first time I used it that it did take a few more pulls than what I would consider normal. I haven't used gas through mine yet.
@WatchTheJoeChannel12 күн бұрын
@ switched to gas it started right up on 2 pulls. I’ll have to contact Westinghouse and maybe a new regulator?
@CampingFamily11 күн бұрын
@@WatchTheJoeChannel That's a good guess. If you hook up the hose with the regulator to the tank with the other end NOT connected to the generator, turn on the gas, press the air release button, do you hear gas coming out the other end?

Videos for the beginners just starting out. What type of hose to use for water. Not a garden hose. Differences in amp plugs at rv parks and how to know which service your camper needs. The best way to level your camper. Tips on driving a rv safely including how to avoid low hanging branches. Just some ideas for ya!

Would you be able to confirm that for me? Also do you need to use a foam to make the bed level. It looks like the inner pieces are lower than the outer section🤔 thankyou in advance for your feedback.

Thanks for the good news, we installed a Vortex I in the bathroom and a Vortex II in the livingroom of our AIM 15RB this weekend to replace the 2 stock ‘computer’ fans that came with the trailer. Seat of the pants when testing draw thru only the small bathroom window with either one of the original fans I felt little or no air moving, with either one of the Heng’s the draw was felt immediately and definitively. Big improvement, however the true test may not come until we get some more hot weather in CT. I simultaneously ordered a top of the line MaxxAir and Fan-tastic which are sitting in my garage as we speak, I couldn’t marshal the nerve or energy (I’m 75) to undertake installing them especially so late in the season. I would expect them to once again be an order of magnitude better than the Heng’s so I may keep them until next spring for a possible install.
