Does anyone make a cabinet that has the fit and finish to slide in where the stock convection microwave sits?

The best I had was a state park in Vermont. On top of being very poorly maintained the one way road was counterclockwise and the angle of the back-in spots were setup for the road to run clockwise. And, it had lots of trees to navigate as you backed in. Thanks to one of Vermont's Green Mountain Boys for an assist.

It had lost prime. I connected city water to boondock connection. Turned on water for 20 seconds or so. Connected my boondock hose to boondock port. Turned on pump. Sucked up a gallon of water lickety split.
-
It is less than two feet.
-
I suspect that is what happened.
-
It loaded about 1 gallon, but would not load more. Can someone suggest troubleshooting steps? The pump is running and the valves are properly set. Thanks
-
Fixed! Thanks to all you guys especially @Tom and Doreen All you guys on this forum are so much help.
-
@Tom and Doreen Hold on. I now see the motor. I can only see the Allen screw with the - sign. I think that is right. Your excerpt says "The motors are labeled with a + or a - to indicate the adjustment direction". Can the Allen screw only be turned one direction as indicated by the arrow?
-
Thanks so much. That sure sounds like it. I found it in the manual after you pointed it out. I had hoped it would show how to revel the motor, but your quote is verbatim. I DO NOT SEE the motor. Do I have to remove something to get to the motor?

We are on the road, maybe another day to home. I don't use our awning very much because it seems there is always too much wind and it retracts on its own. I do put it out from time to time just to make sure it is working and to let it air out after a rain. I put it out this morning. Left it out for an hour or two and put it back in. When it went in I did not hear that little clunk as it finished retracting. Looking at the front of the awning it looks like it is not going all the way in, maybe lacks a half inch or so. The first pic shows it out. The second pic show the back of the waning. It is all the way in. The last pic show me pushing the front in. It goes in with a push. Am I imagining this? Or is it not right? Lastly, am I OK driving another 600 miles home with it out like that? Maybe the most important question is; Can you tell me how to fix it? Thanks

Grok says: Here’s a list of businesses in Maine that offer ceramic coatings, with a focus on those that handle RVs, motorhomes, or large vehicles (or explicitly mention them). Ceramic coating for RVs is somewhat specialized due to size, materials (like gelcoat), and surface prep needs, so many auto detailers that do RVs or large vehicles can accommodate it—always confirm RV-specific experience and capabilities when contacting them. davesautocare.net Businesses that explicitly handle RVs/motorhomes + ceramic coatings or detailing: Dave's Auto Care (Saco, near Portland) Offers ceramic coatings and full detailing for motorhomes, boats, and large vehicles. They’ve been in business since 1980 and handle a wide range of vehicle sizes. Address: 775 Portland Road, Saco, ME. Phone: (207) 831-9095. Website: davesautocare.net. davesautocare.net Maine Recon (Scarborough) Provides auto detailing services for RVs, boats, cars, trucks, and more. They offer professional cleaning, protection services, and restoration (contact them about ceramic coating options). Address: 70 Pleasant Hill Rd, Scarborough, ME. Phone: (207) 205-4153. Website: mainerecon.com. mainerecon.com John's Detailing & Cleaning (Bowdoinham) Mobile service specializing in premium car, boat, and RV detailing + ceramic coatings.

Mobile detailers are common in Maine and can come to you, which is ideal for RVs. Check reviews on Yelp, Google, or Facebook groups for recent RV-specific experiences. Some RV dealers or body shops may also partner with or recommend coaters. yelp.com If none of these are close enough or you need options in a specific part of Maine (e.g., northern or midcoast), let me know for more targeted suggestions!
