Is this a new exercise plan?

Some Suburban furnaces suffer from the same dreaded "circuit board failure" as water heaters. I've already replaced the board on my 2018 Rockwwod water heater, furnace and Dometic fridge with Dinosaur boards as a pre-emptive strike.

What would lead you to believe that the Dinosaur product would be more reliable?

They are American made by a small company managed by the owner that has been an electronics tech for decades.
They have a 3 year, no questions asked warranty. One look at the factory board vs the Dinosaur board says it all.

When you call, they answer the phone, and your questions.

The circuit board for the Dometic fridge has a temp adjustment on the board. Many Dometic fridge's don't have temp adjustments, or if they do, they work poorly.

And yet my factory boards on all three appliances are still working fine after 2 years.
Are the Dino boards better... sure.
Am I going to replace all the things in my 5th wheel with things I know is better (before they break)... nope.
Better lights, better carpet, better mattress, better air conditioner, better tank level system, better jacks, better battery, better converter, and the list goes on and on.

Although, when it gets cold, I put all sorts of hours and dollars into trying to improve stuff that I'm not satisfied with...

Heh, of that list- I preemptively upgraded lights, mattress, battery, and converter. So I'm about 50/50 for things you happened to mention.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for upgrading things and I understand the thinking.
We did the mattress and some other things too because they didn't work correctly or were uncomfortable.
The factory boards on the other hand, will work no differently (or any worse) than the Dino boards, while they work. So, preemptively on the boards is a bit over the top for me but if/when they do quit working, of course I'll use something better.

Crappy component failure.

Just saw water dripping from here. I assume/hope it was from this gap and yesterday’s camper wash.
Dripping on both sides.
I’ll close the gap up and will head onto the rough to make sure it’s not coming from there. After that, the only other possible culprit are the water lines up to the washer/dryer.
Good times.

I've had water dripping from that exact same place on my Sabre. I determined that it was from the top of that railing/channel/whatever it's called up by the gutters.
It wasn't sealed and was running down along the inside of it.

Might be better to investigate further before sealing the gap. At this point whatever it is is draining out and will back up and collect if it has nowhere to go.
