almost ALWAYS, one will get better response to their questions if they dont ask it in an old thread..... start a new thread of your own with the question, and the rest of us that are still active on the forum can help you...... but as im here looking at your question, the unistrut channel is...

when you ask a question on a public forum, you have to take the all the comments that come your way in the exact same manner that the rest of us have to accept your questions and posts showing up on our feed.... unless we choose to block the one that we want to ignore. you may not have meant it...

because some of us who boondock like to leave our gray tanks open.... but not the black tank.

the fuel tank CAN be too big... even diesel fuel goes stale, so it needs to be used down periodically so it can be refilled with fresh fuel.... the generator can be used for long periods, but burning $15-$20 dollars worth of diesel everyday, with all the noise it creates is NOT my style of...

there is no need for solar if you will be plugged in all the time.... and there is no need for solar for a weekend out boondocking, or, no more need than if you were camping in a tent... solar comes into play when you spend a lot of time away from shore power, and use a lot of energy from your...

you have asked several questions on this recreational vehicle forum, and NONE of them relate to RVs..... an mpo cable is a fiber optic cable, with no use in an RV... you can probably find all the information you ever wanted to know about mpo cables if you would google it....

too bad for you..... there is not a single manufacture that is producing a better, more dependable, long range antenna than the "old crank up style" winegard sensar IV antenna.... the only exception being satellite dishes/receivers. there are manufactures that claim their disc antennas are...

nearly all appliances can be purchased in 12vdc versions, but the cost can be extreme in some cases.... many of the larger truckstops have 12vdc TV's, Microwave ovens, blenders and such, on the shelf, or you can search online for them... BUT, with if you are going to be primarily on shore...

beware of ANY extended warranties... a good one can be a real wallet saver, but the wording within the fine print often causes the extended warranties to be nearly worthless.... sometimes extended warranties can be seemingly affordable enough, until you have a reason to use it and find out...

it would be helpful to owners if the manufactures would use different colored coax for the satillite wires vs the cable wires, as this would help minimize confusion/mistakes made in the factory, and would help us know what coax goes where, for what purpose...

depending on ones skill level, or how much budget they have, can make a huge difference in how its done and much it costs to do it... some tow vehicles can have the OEM fuel tank replaced with a higher capacity tank.... I have a 60gal aux fuel tank in the bed, that i have plumbed directly...

when installing solar, DONT MESS WITH the existing charging system, inverter, converter or other parts of a properly working system..... install the panels and the controller, with the wires from the controller directly to the batteries, using the proper fusing in the event of a short... the...

the antenna wires in my bighorn was messed up as well..... I purchased used, so its impossible to tell how it happened, and it doesnt matter anyway.... what matters is how to fix it. my problem was someone had switched the satellite connections with the cable connections, and it messed with...

swivel wheel decks are legally considered "trailers"... so if you cant do double towing in your state, it may not be an option for you...

if you have a generator, you should add an ATS to the incoming shore power. it should be a standard install, with a genset, but it is NOT... without a genset, and only using shore power (with or without solar panels installed) use a smart inverter such as this...

its generally going to be in the vicinity of the PDP... somewhere behind it.

30 amp service can run 2 ac units reasonably well if a "soft start" unit is installed on one of them....

because not everyone lives where its so hot for so long.... and if heartland, or any other brand, were to just keep bolting (questionably useful) stuff on til the tires squatted, no one could afford the RV.... but there are other brands and models that have about everything you desire, so its...

after seeing the remarks, and having to look again at the photo, how have you determined the unit is bad?..... that wiring is a failure in plain sight, and is likely to be the entire issue....

LT tires are just a heavier sidewall tire than what you have now... a different design which works better for varied weight hauling capabilities. you can find different brands and air pressure ratings, and the LT tire will do you a better job of dampening the sponginess that you are...

solar vs wind... its a no brainer for me. I have friends who live on the rim of Lake Billy Chinook (no grid power within MILES) and when they bought the place several years ago, all the neighbors who had been there for years all had/have wind turbines for power... after using a generator a...

this is the basic information on how the solenoid works.... when power is applied to the S terminal, the two large lugs should connect together inside.... when power is removed from the S term, the 2 large lugs will separate.... sometimes the T terminal will be DIFFERENT, and instead of it...

we know several american friends who have been living in mexico for many years, and they claim the services there are about as good as here, and there is nothing concerning to worry about.... and ive heard nothing bad about the medical, dental, drugs and other services, but only how much...

I do now... after replying to the latest post.... but no matter, anyone reading may learn something, and thats good enough reason for posting to old threads.... but I would never attempt to resurrect an older thread on my own☺️....

depending on how much time and money one has, there is an option... I added a subframe under the trailer and installed a hitch tube, at the rear on each side, to accept 2" steel bars.... and built a platform. I haul both of my polaris sportsman atv on it, and at the same time, I added an axle...

get a couple tubes of dicor self leveling roof sealant, pull the torn roof material back over its wound and staple the edges of the tear down to the backer, then wash it with acetone and let dry for 30 minutes, then cover it with the sealant and it will outlast the life of the roof material...

as stated above, ospho or rustolium rust reformer or rust converter is the go to product.....it will turn the rust to a hard black surface that can be painted over, or left as is... DONT sand the surface clean, but just use a scraper to remove any semi loose or flaking rust then wipe down with...

one hears a lot of Sh*+ that NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD of actually happening..... because its going to be an odd day that anyone who has a care is intentionally, grossly overloading their RV, and towing with a grossly under rated vehicle, to the point that it is inherently unsafe for public roads...

ive never seen an installation where the facia boards cannot be easily removed to access the motor.... usually there are some trim buttons, plastic mirrors or other decorative "add-ons", that can be gently pried out of where they are placed, and then, under them you will see the hardware that...

im not sure what you have, but this is the most common type in use at this time.... bulb seal & wiper seal

.....and the dicor caulking is still $10 a tube at my local RV store.

im not into printing parts, so I dont know whats available to use for the purpose, and even though raw polycarb by itself is not uv resistant, paint is... paint it any color you choose and its well protected... there are polycarb formulations that are uv resistant, but its a more expensive...

im not understanding your question.... solar has nothing to do with the AC circuits, as it only connect to the battery, which is DC..... your problem is in the AC circuits... its easy to pull the PDP out of its hole and check to see if there is any sign of overheating where the wires...

the RV already has an onboard battery charger built into its electrical circuits... you should find it in behind the power distribution panel (get to it from behind a panel in the basement?)..... you could call the manufacture with the serial number and see what they installed, but as NO ONE...

ive seen these exact symptoms before.... what I found was the cause in this case, (which is a factory mistake) was because of improper wiring of a circuit, using a common/shared neutral wire grid from other circuits, using single duplex circuit breakers.... its legal, and can save time and...

wheres the multimeter?.... what brand and model inverter?.... is it a "pass-thru" type inverter?.... without knowing more about the inverter itself, we have to look elsewhere for the issue.... use the multimeter to check the DC leads for power at the rear of the inverter to see if you have...

is the parking brake set?.....

the square footage of the 3055RL, measured as you would a house, is right at 375sqft..... but the vanity, bathroom, shower, refrigerator and kitchen counter take up some of it, so without going out and measuring and calculating, I dont have the number for the "open" floor space...

take the pin, place one end of it on a piece of steel, and with a small hammer, tap the very end of it to flatten it slightly... then reassemble it all with the peened end of the pin in the UP position.... and it cant fall out.

you post questions about your HOUSE... this is a BOAT forum, and EVERYTHING is different on boats than what you will find in your house... so any answers you find here may not be relevant to you, because your residential questions arent relevant to the boating world.....
