    Slide Toppers: Should have or like to have?

    To me they are a must have. Disappointed that many trailers don't have them. 5th wheels and TT's are so far behind motorhome s on many fronts. It's embarrassing. Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

    SOLVED - No TV signal in Bighorn 3585

    Every coax connection I have touched on my RW420 has been loose. As a tech for the cable company we always were told to torque em down. Living room to would get 20 channels. When the bedroom got 26. Rear tv 5. Now they are all equal. Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

    Unlimited data plan re-born

    Anyone who has not yet received their MiFi yet. you should have gotten an email. They are no longer issuing new accounts. Verizon has put a stop to what they were doing. Currently existing customers get to keep what they have. For now at least.

    Changing which thermostat controls the furnace.

    Sounds like it would be easier to just install a heating only t stat and abandon using the dometic controller. Running new control wire from the furnace to a new t stat location would be quite easy Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

    Changing which thermostat controls the furnace.

    We have been doing okay with blocking the bedroom vent. And closing the bedroom door to the bathroom. And opening the bathroom door to the hall. I want to furnace to heat the main trailer. As that's where the kids are. And it needs to cycle to heat the basement to prevent freezing. We almost...

    Changing which thermostat controls the furnace.

    On my 2016 road warrior 420, the bedroom thermostat controls the furnace. we prefer our room cool. This results in the rest of the trailer being fairly cold. I want the living room thermostat to control the furnace. Any ideas what I need to do to make that happen? Or wiring diagrams so I can...

    Washer and Dryer install in 2016 RW420

    Well 8 got it done. And have to say I am really starting to regret buying this trailer. I had to tear the closet apart and mutilate a brand new dryer to get it to fit. At a glance it looked like it would fit stackable. And no literature said you could only install a combo. But the wife said...

    ATF: Road Warrior - RW 420

    Holy He!! please let me know where you are traveling so I can make sure to be on the other side of the country. A 4200 is grossly exceeding the ratings of a 2500.

    Parallel or series?????

    The biggest issue with having RV panels in series. Is shading, if you shade 1 panel it pulls down the whole system. While if each panel is independent, you just loose the production of the panel and the rest keep on cooking. I would not change what you have now.

    Solar and generator

    Plenty of panels will do 30+ volts. If you wire them in series it ups the volts even more. Good thing about using higher voltage panels is that even in cloudy weather you still get decent power. The use of an MPPT controller is required. I am a huge fan of PWM controllers, but you can not use...
