My current plan is to buy a few adustable legs and unhook the table from the wall to lower it; I think that would make things better for the time being. Long term I think this will need to be turned into a proper workspace with a good chair, though. Thanks — I’m sitting on the seat by the door as I write this, and yes, it’s horrible.

I have used a hair dryer to dry things off, and it fired up. I changed the circuit board, but that didn't cure it. I have cleaned all the contacts, and it still happens occasionally. I called Atwood and the tech basically couldn't provide any assistance, so I am still searching for a cure. You are correct about the dinette seating....the seat nearest the door is (was) terribly uncomfortable. I removed that seat, and the dinette.....replaced with a leather recliner and folding table from Camping World. If you would like pictures, drop me an note. We have an '08 25 FB SE. BTW, nice Blog!

I've never actually had the unit serviced since I bought it from the previous owner (though he had just had it fully serviced, so who knows) -- I'll bring this up next month when I take it in. Good to know. Thanks for the tip!

Good camping - hope you find the problems causing your OTR vibrations.
