Winnebago part number needed.

I could use a little help here. I have a 2017 Winnebago Brave 31C. The accent lights above the sofa only partially light up and I’d like to replace them. I’m not having any luck finding a part number. I emailed Lichtsinn RV on Sunday and asked them but they haven’t responded.

Chemical lemon taste in my water?

I bought an rv, and all of the faucets spit out a lemony tasting and smelling water. Smells like straight up urine when boiled.

It's not the water itself (it's from our well and is totally fine when not run through the new rv). The previous owners have no clue what it is or why it's happening. I ran the water through the pipes for hours with no change.

If you have an ideas please let me know. I'd love to stop carting over jars of water to drink and wash dishes 😤

Accidentally put pink windshield cleaner in instead of antifreeze - how screwed am i?

Edit: i have a towable camper and not an rv.
I put this into the fresh water supply line at the pump and ran it through the winterization process to the sinks toilet and shower. The fresh water reservoir is safe and so is the hot water heater.

I am an idiot. This has now been proven. Please dont tell me to go kill myself. I know this is bad.

I have not found this question online. But I've seen a lot of questions about putting the abtifreeze into the windshield cleaner reservoir. Im either the only idiot to ever make this mistake or im the only one to fess up and beg for help online.

This is the pink 2010 debug summer windshield cleaner. It is not a concentrate . At first I thought, oh summer solution may have less solvent because it wont freeze, but then I thought its the opposite because of needing to scrub so many insects.

Can i fix this?

Tongue Box for batteries

I got the harbor freight box. Had scrap solid wood shelf, put that at the bottom for rigidity, a thing piece of plywood for the back. Mainly to screw the battery trays at bottom. The back one for the cables and the bracket holding the digital battery disconnect. Also did a pass thru battery junction block I think it’s called. Got new locks. Had to make holes for the locks and weld the latch or whatever ever it’s called where the hook catches. One on each side since it’s impossible to do it from the center. Holes for vents, and did to size wiring and terminals. New wires on back to connect it all from rv to the back of the box terminals.

First (long) Trip Plan Recommendations

Planning our first trip (Dallas, TX to La Veta, CO). After considering a lot of feedback, I’ve decided we will take it nice and slow and break up the drive into 4 days/3 nights with each drive coming in about 2:40 hrs. Perhaps coming back we will combine two days of driving for a 6:30 hr day but we’ll play it by ear. I have a few stops in mind but looking for recommendations along the route (287 to 87). Thanks.

Does this look correct? I’ve had no issues driving with it but someone at the campsite said it looked too tight?

Need camper gone ASAP.

Will deliver anywhere in the country with the truck and bundle the truck in cheap.

8k for camper + AC + Heater + 270 awning + awning walls + maxxxair exhaust fan + 2 room shower/ toilet setup + 820 bolted to frame you can mount more on top. Added 2 bars for hanging clothes inside.

Added picture of awning walls from website (not able to set them up/ photo yet but I do have them. They have built in LED lights. I can add more photos of that if I have time.

Awning and bath setup fold over and lock down in order to drive without making campers wider on the road. (Shown in picture)

//Reduce to 6k if no one buys before June 1st//

Built in heater and Air Conditioner

Able to stay cool in 98° under direct sunlight for 6-8 hours on my battery system and then recharge with truck alternator

(Battery sold separately)

Full 6' bed means that 2 people can sleep comfortably.

Dishwasher, fridge, microwave, air fryer/oven, 2X 27 gallon totes, 15 gallon freshwater and 10 gallon greywater all manage to fit with the full size mattress folded open.

(All sold separately)

Is the basis to continue building out an even better camper.

Truck is 6' long bed first Gen Tacoma.

Fits perfectly the 80's Toyota pickup.

May also fit some 6' ford ranger beds.

Will include exact bed dimensions in photos.

______________________________

Truck is base model 98 taco. 200k miles.

Manual Transmission

Will throw the truck in for 3k but that includes

2 blindspot camera and rearview camera built in,

custom built $350 high amp alternator for Car audio that

gets your batteries charged much faster.

Custom audio system

500w alternator charger installed and ran to the back of the truck bed.

Brand New engine gasket, radiator, all fluids bleed regularly new spark plugs, brand new radiator, O2 plugs

Ac and heat work perfect.

No engine lights engine runs smooth.

Clutch replaced last year. Shifts perfect.

Truck has plenty of aesthetic issues and surface rust underneath but is ready to drive 100k miles with nothing but oil changes. Diff squeaks occasionally if you lug the tranny at all (but this only encourages you to be gentle with the transmission which is good for longevity) and doesn't affect driving. I have the u-joints needed to fix this. Will install if I have time but it's been too cold where I live.

I did plan on replacing it with a nicer 4X4 taco eventually and I recommend you do the same, but this truck is perfect so that I can use those parts I listed like the custom alternator and charger and transfer them into the new truck once you get it.

However this one will do you great in the meantime these trucks are known for running forever they always start and run no matter what and there has been a ton of maintenance done to this one ready for long road trips but no off-roading.

Is manual RWD.

Open to selling with or without truck and reducing the price of the truck to 2k without the charging/sound system ext.

_________

Need gone ASAP currently in Chicago will drive to you and drop off anywhere in the lower 48 for the upfront gas/plane costs fee.
