your overhead fans work on battery power so if you have a dead battery your fans won't work... the heater will not work properly either... you would think that when plugged in they should but if battery is dead they don't...

fans...

I was getting power to both fans, so i removed them and hosed them down with electrical contact cleaner, then spun them by hand for a few min. They both run like new now. Even the micro switch in the stove vent works!

I took the screen off the over head living area and tapped on it with the handle of the screw driver and what da ya know ...worked like a champ try silicone spray for other lube needs it works without attracting dirt and dust if you need to lube something check autoparts store for the good stuff....

Update..

Sorry, i have been remiss in updating the pic's. But, the move from FL to TN was pretty hectic, and our arched steel building got delivered 2 days after we arrived, so work on that commenced at once. We are living in the Argy while i finish the apt inside the building. As soon as we get some of our "stufff" out of the Argy i will soot some pic's of the interior. I do plan on painting the exterior sometime this summer before we take off to Manitoba. The new door seal fixed the small leak that showed up on the floor. Then, a new leak developed over the stove top, running down the wall in several rivulets. I suspect that the lack of caulking on the stove vent is the source....probably blew off during the 900 mile trip to TN. We now have a 30x40 tarp covering most of the trailer and gives us some dry space out in front of the door. It's tacky as heck, but where we had to park to reach the septic tank put us in a field of E TN Mud! We have been it it over a month, and "knock on retro woodgrain", all systems are functioning correctly.
Here is a pic or two....
