I installed a new wiper motor in the Suburban since it was acting up.
I pulled the cover on the RV furnace bay and found the reason I was getting very little air flow into the motorhome. The screws that hold the duct up that blows the air into the coach had fallen down so very little air was coming in. I had to remove the furnace, fix the duct and then reinstall the furnace. It has real good air flow now. I still can't get the rear furnace to work but I will do some more troubleshooting tomorrow.
I think the cold snap killed the house batteries. I will clean the terminals and check them with my battery tester but I think they are toast.

Great News!!
It already had 4 golf cart batteries installed and they don't look that old. I did a load test on all the batteries and they all passed. I cleaned all the nasty terminals and filled the batteries with water, they were really low. The generator starts now without having the engine running and they hold a charge a lot better !!!
I also got the rear AC and heater working too. The hot water heater fires up! I am beginning to think this thing sat around for a while before I got it. I got the DVD player will play thru the TV but the picture is fuzzy. If I push the controller button in a little further it gets clear. I guess I need to replace the control center.

No not yet. I found the owners manual and its a stationary dish but its good for now. I will upgrade the TV's and such later on. If I can plug into the cable at the park and get channels I am good with that.

You should be able to take a receiver from the house and use it. You may have to call them. I think they both have specials for rvs

I did my taxes last night and I owe federal, first time ever. Yesterday we spent most of the day tearing apart the different types of hydraulic pumps that Cat uses. A lot better than looking at slides all day. Working on my Resume' for the safety manager job.

1/2 day of class and then the end of course test, then back to work. Somehow I lost my toolbox key and the Snap on man is the worst at returning calls or text. I will figure something out.
