Looks like something that was or is used for an ice maker setup option for the fridge or perhaps for an RO system. If it's not being used for anything, you can cap it off or get an inline piece, brass or plastic, from a hardware store. Then wrap it in some insulation to prevent it from freezing...

I personally use US Battery 2200 XC2 (I think that's the model). They are 6V deep cycle wired in series/parallel. In my old RV that I had, I used the similar version from Trojan. Both great batteries. Prior to getting the US Battery, I installed whatever brand Sam's Club carries and they barely...

Before I installed the soft start devices on my RV, I had two ATSs go out - first the original, then the new, upgraded version. After the second one went out, I investigated further and found that one leg coming into the house from the utility had low voltage. Oddly, the voltage was above 100V...

Good news indeed! Sent from my SM-G781U using Tapatalk

I wouldn't be surprised if the solder joints under the screw down terminal were poorly done. The furnace heater control board on my RV did something similar, although, it wasn't apparent until I pulled the board to inspect it. Reflowed solder and all is good. I would say that is a manufacturer...

I didn't end up going to the local propane company for guidance, but found more info on that check valve. It seems that it is mainly there to prevent backflow into the propane tank. However, the line to connect to the propane tank already includes a check valve (according to the data sheet). The...

Glad you got it fixed without replacement! Sent from my SM-G781U using Tapatalk

I would look closely at the grounds and/or isolate the 12V breakers. If they aren't working on generator or battery, it can't be much else, other than a 12V positive wire that's worked it's way loose, but hasn't made contact with the chassis. Sent from my SM-G781U using Tapatalk

Sounds like a broken ground somewhere. You mentioned outlets - 12V outlets are inop or 120V outlets or both? My toy hauler didn't come equipped with any 12V outlets. The dim awning lights could be a weak ground or you have weak batteries. No fuses popped tell me there isn't a short. The...

Thanks! Odd that an adapter so small would have something like that in it. Sent from my SM-G781U using Tapatalk

Both of the original pigtails on my RV wouldn't seal and the secondary regulator on the drivers side was leaking, so I had to get new pigtails and a regulator. The regulator has 1/4" FPT but the pigtail is a 1/4" inverted flare. The pigtail is a MB Sturgis 100575 that the online data shows...

I installed one of those 3 filter, no tank, RV style RO systems with the quick release filters right under the sink. I personally don't recommend that style as the water really never tasted that great. If we ever go full time, or even for a couple of weeks, there is room under my sink for one of...

They still use ammonia for the refrigerant. Going to the HVAC cooling units from JC Refrigeration will be more efficient and there isn't a need to ensure the rig is level just for the fridge. Sent from my SM-G781U using Tapatalk

@rhodies1 Oh I didn't even see the new ones. When I did a search for it, it took me to this website: https://rvcoolingunits.com/ Is this the same company? Sent from my SM-G781U using Tapatalk

Thanks @rhodies1! It's holding up so far, although the next few days will really tell how it is holding up. I know I'm on borrowed time. My plan is to replace the cooling unit, but it'll probably be the 12V R134A cooling unit from JC Refrigeration. It's a bit more expensive than the rebuilt unit...
