Almost everything I have done so far I have purchased from Lowe's.
1. Repainted the front and storage doors in white. Bumper and hitch in black.
2. Painters taped the name "Norris" letters. The whole thing was a faded ivory. Then I spray painted the whole sign white and pealed the tape.
3. I purchased painted roof screws with rubber and metal washers attached. Replaced all 500 exterior screws. Some white some silver ones. The washers covered most of the old rust marks. $6 per 40 count
4. Used tited Watco Danish Oil on all the interior wood. What a difference. Just rub on with a rag. Covered all of the aged white marks on the wood. $7 for a pint
5. Sagging roof section replaced. Jacked up the roof and bridged the span with 2x2's and angle iron. Then covered the roof with fiberglass board from Lowe's. Plastic end caps on three sides and a plastic wood trim to join the old ceiling to new. $55
6. Refinished the bathroom floor with Rustoleum tub and sink paint. $20. I had an anti freeze stain that would not come off.
7. Rubber weather strip on front and rear doors. $15.
I could use some help on understanding some other items on the unit.
A. I have a propane wall mounted light. How do I lite it?
B. I have a airchuck on my water tank. How do I make it work with the holding tank.
C. My sewage "knife" valve needs to be replaced but the screws are rusted away. How is the best way to replace it.
D. Running lamps in the back work but the sides and front dont. How do I fix that?
E: What do you call the hardware that holds the front rock guard up when parked? Where can I get replacements.
F: I have a heavy trailer wire but only a four wire plug. Yet on the tires it looks like I have wires and large "canisters" behind the wheels. Are these power breaks?
Thanks for any help!!!!

Sounds like a bad ground. If that dosent work there is a broken wire somewhere. I have found over the Years with 12v systems grounds must be good. Wishbone-Ks
