In addition to the other suggestions. If you lay down pieces of 2 x 4s with 3/4" plywood on top of them. The frig will have a platform to roll out onto. You might place duct tape on the wood finish on the slide platform the frig is sitting on. This will help to keep from scratching the wood...

Dennyha, Thanks for sharing. I think the more posts for solar installs helps all who are interested in a solar system. Joe

Jim, I am glad you are coming over to the AGM crowd. They are good batteries and easy to deal with. Take a look at the Full River line. Recently I ran a test on my 6 6 volt AGMs and ran them down to about 59%. I charged them up with my coach converter. I moved the converter to the front bay...

How about the auto switch over for the ac when plugged in to the pedestal. It warms up with the ac pass thru the inverter for the frig circuit. The fan cycles on to help cool the unit. My Bighorn came with the Xantrex Inverter from the factory. Yes Xantrex not Magnum. Haven't had any issues...

Chippendale, We boondock a lot with a residential frig without any difficulty and use everything except air. We use a toaster, big tv, frig, microwave, hairdryer, lights and plugs for two computers and anything else we need to do. Have used an auto satellite dish but have dropped the service in...

SLO you have a very neat install. You will not regret the solar. I used a Morningstar charge controller on my previous install. They are very good and no problems. Keep harvesting those rays.

Piperflyer, Yes they make those. They come in different lenghts and colors. I have a 14' awning shade screen I bought from Sewmasters

Jimnkarens, The brown on my front cap had to be repainted when I purchased my rig. The dealer had a body shop for rvs next door do the work. They mixed the paint and all came out well. The dealer had to replace one of my lower rear panels behind the tires and they ordered the metal skirt from...

I used it back in the day when I was in the construction business. If it is still the same formula it would melt shingles. Great for sealing certain things. I would not want to use it on my RV.

I have used TiniPic and Photobucket for many years. As a side note PIXresizer is an excellent free program for resizing pics for about any use.

Re: Factory installed xantrex xm pro 1000 on 2014 RW420 Let me ask, was the firmware change for the Xantrex inverters or was the firmware change for the Magnum inverters that were used? The reason I ask is I read several posts about problems with the Magnum inverters used. But I have not...

pjaylor, I have had the same issue with my 2015 3570RS. So I took the matter on and did a long time Lippert fix. Lippert came out with a fix for this problem a few years ago and I have had to do this on two rigs to solve the problem. I used two 50AMP breakers in parallel as pictured below...

I don't think it is that often that panels go bad. I haven't run into any. But it is possible. In the case of the stick down panels. You could probably stick another one over top of the bad panel. I have a friend with stick down panels that got into a bad hail storm and he had significant...

I am not saying I approve of adding a motorcycle lift to the rear of a Bighorn. But, yesterday I saw a Bighorn go by and it had a full size motorcycle on the back like you would carry bicycles. Man that is a lot of weight back there bouncing up and down as you go along the road. I can only...

Great advice don't use that plastic ice maker supply line. Mine was kinked at the connection to the frig and leaked. Do it right from the beginning. I think you will like the residential frig.
