Contact Bestconverter and tell them the WFCO model number that you now have and tell them what you are trying to accomplish. Get off that WFCO line of poor quality and get something that performs better and will last longer.

Turn on every 12 volt thing in the trailer and listen for the converter fan.

You will need to better explain what valves and what you are trying to do. We may be able to help, but we need information that can be understood.

It is safe to use 14 gauge wire in a 15 amp circuit. The thing is that long runs will have a significant voltage drop on 12 volts DC and may need larger wire. link to a chart

First thing I do is install levels on the trailer that actually show an accurate reading of the trailer frame front to rear and side to side. I install a pair on opposite ends with the trailer frame perfectly level so that they can be depended on for actual information.
I level the trailer side to side using boards under the tires. Then I level front to rear using the tongue jack. Putting the slide out shouldn't change the level much, if it does then the trailer needs to be properly supported, possibly with a set of jacks in the middle.
You likely will get all kinds of answers with few of them addressing frame flexing and twisting.

Find a local upholsterer and have it done right. It might be a good time to replace the poor foam cushions as well.

You will have much less stress if you forget about the so called "warranty" and fix it yourself or get it fixed locally. I would only play the warranty game if there was an extreme fault or considerable cost involved.

I forgot to add this thought to my reply, a dehumidifier works well in a RV to combat the humidity problems, but don’t forget to empty the moisture tank that it collects. The propane furnace is vented outdoors and none of the water vapor should enter the living space. A dehumidifier could be connected to a hose that drains thru the floor to avoid emptying the tank. My concern with this unit is that there may be leaks allowing rain water to enter the wall. If it were mine, I would look and test for that possibility, or actually remove the window and reseal. Of course water can enter anywhere so checking the roof is a must.

That click may be the circuit breaker clicking off, they usually reset and they can click again. A dead short in the wiring to the slide motor can be the reason for a circuit breaker clicking off, or possibly a faulty breaker. Often circuit breakers are mounted on the tongue, perhaps you have a separate one for the non-functioning slide.

"quality that they are known for" ?? What you are experiencing is industry wide.

After looking at the photos on the KZ website, it appears that there are stabilizer jacks in the middle near the axles. If yours does not have them, it would be a good thing to add. The only way that a trailer being supported with proper jacks can lean is by frame twisting, the key words are "proper jacks".

Quick question- how big of a generator would I need to be comfy boondocking for a few days? Thanks in advance jl Define "comfy", you will need 1,000 to 6,000 watts depending on what you intend to run.

I would remove anything that is easily removed. A hair dryer can soften the material to aid removal. Here is a video that can help: dicorproducts.com/videos/Can't get the link to work. Says the site refused to connect. Probably because of the VPN, but I would think any commercial venture would make sure that wasn't a problem. Guess they need a better web provider. Try this and go to the videos: dicorproducts.com/product/self-leveling-lap-sealants/

I would check the incoming voltage while using the microwave or heater. It might be a campground issue. Always have batteries checked at an auto parts store that does it for free. The batteries should be fully charged before testing. With proven good batteries and good incoming voltage you should then check the voltage at the batteries while connected to shore power, it should be above 13.2 volts. Batteries should last over five years if you keep them as fully charged as possible. Report back.

You got it right wrkrbee, I would add one more thing; the cheap Chinese bearings may not be good for many miles. I had a set that was manufactured poorly and they began the failure process on the first revolution, yes I can inspect and verify the defect in my tool & die shop. I will never use any obscure brand of the cheap junk and will replace with Timken as soon as possible. This industry relies on the principle of ignorance is bliss.

The burnishing process is to be done with freshly installed brake shoes, since nearly all trailers are towed many miles to the dealer, the window of opportunity has passed.

Brake parts are the same across all trailer brands and parts can be shipped to you as soon as overnight. You need to learn how to service the brakes and then you will see how simple they are to repair or replace. eTrailer has much information.

If this is an outside wall and you have smooth siding, a stud finder would be of little use. Try a strong magnet and see if you can identify a location of the steel sheet metal usually installed under the paneling for mounting a TV. You would mount with sheet metal screws that won't go too deep. Is there a cable outlet in the area?

That trailer has an extremely weak frame with the main "I-beams" made from three pieces of stock welded together. I would hesitate to put a second coat of paint on the cheesy thing.
