First trip out on our gently used Rockwood. First camping trip ever. Great time. Couple of issues. Brake lights and turn signals work great but running lights not turning on. That super fan in the bath won't turn on. One other concern is with the AC. Is the water that comes off the unit on the roof supposed to just run off the roof or is there a drain? Mine just runs off. Thanks.

The running lights not working could be a number of things. One simple fix might be the connection between the tow vehicle and the pigtail to the trailer. Wiggle it around a little, plug and unplug and see if that helps. If not, there may be corrosion on the contacts, either in the tow vehicle's receptacle, or on the plug from the trailer. Sometimes a quick shot of WD-40 can penetrate and provide a quick contact resolution.

The power fan in the bath may have a switch on it, but also be connected to a switched line. Mine is on a wall switch and also has the on/off switch and speed control on the fan itself. Finally, even it both of those are "on", it is necessary to open the vent at least 1/3 to 1/2-way for a kill switch on the fan to release in my trailer.

Enjoy your unit!
