I can handle simple tools, but will never be mistaken for a mechanic.
1. Doing my annual
Casita wash and wax, I noticed several of the plastic rivet snap caps have broken off. I know they can be replaced, but meanwhile… Is this purely cosmetic, or am I likely to get rain
leaks if I don’t replace them promptly?
2. The control knob (AC – DC – GAS – OFF) on my Dometic Americana 4 cf
fridge broke off. It looks like part of it is still attached, so I can’t just replace it, I need to get access to remove what’s left of the old one. I use a small nosed vise grip for now. I believe the control panel cover is supposed to swing out and up – there are locking tab releases underneath – but the
Casita (2003 17 SD) installation prevents that with two rivets and a caulk seal to the
fiberglass enclosure. How do I get it open without damaging anything, or should I just take it to an RV repair shop?
Thanks much for any help!
