low voltage = high amperage = burnt solenoids

do you have anymore information on the case the govt has filed.... the problem isnt just GM trucks, but Ram has the same issue, and I dont know anyone who tows with a ford, so I cant say.... Respectively, there may be problems within the trucks themselves, but during my problems with it, it...

check the rating of the solenoid, and check the circuit for resistance... you may be drawing more amps than the solenoid can stand. if so, the circuit would then need to be inspected to find out why.....

yes, a camera can be mounted to the end cap on the rv, and power can be drawn from the light wire.... Not all wireless cameras will maintain a signal to the back of a 5th wheel, so wired types are the general recommendation.... OR, for a "wired install", a camera wire can be run from the...

personally, with all the kids, i would get a portable shower stall (or make one) for the outside shower..... let them shower outside, which is better in every respect, except when its really cold outside..... this would save a world of hassle, and if you have ac power available, AND have the ac...

they make the keyless entry door locks in 3 different styles, as a replacement for almost every style of rv door latch made today.... and they make them for compartment latch locks... if your camping includes plugging in to a power post or if you have solar panels and a solid battery bank...

hang it over a fence and blow it with air, or if needed, use a pressure washer to blow the heavy dirt out of it.... the dirt can fall away from it, and the water will drain from it so it can dry quicker...

No.. maybe you misunderstand?.... the CONverter takes shore power and converts it to 12vdc... the INverter takes the power FROM the batteries and inverts it to 120vac everything else DEPENDS on the inverter options and its capability..... with the new technology Inverters, they can be...

yes, you are looking for a small spark.... and if you find it and tape over it, look for other spots that may begin to leak the spark.... electricity has a way of following the path of least resistance, and a different spot on the insulation may become the weak spot after repairing the previous...

you should look at the Xantrex freedomX 3000 inverter.... its a pass thru unit, which has the built in transfer switch to separate and protect the inverter from shore power, and is simple to connect in. it does everything you want it to. with your shore power, if you have an onboard generator...

with the pan removed, watch the wires and connections as you try lighting it in total darkness.... any leakage of power from the igniter system will easily be seen, so it can be more precisely inspected and repaired

ATS units are not always standard equipment on the different models and brands of RV's.... "solar ready" can be a misleading term.... solar ready generally means that the rig is "pre-wired" for solar components, (panels, controller) but there is no standard as to how much solar power the wiring...

when you turn on the burner valve, can you hear any air purging from the burner?...... if you hold a match near the flame ports while the burner valve is open, does the flame of the match flutter a little bit?.... if there is nothing coming out the burner holes, it probably has a mainline shut...

im not sure what model you have, but I got this off the internet... maybe it will help... "To remove the Furrion stove top and oven: Lift up on the back of the folding lid and slide it back so the two tabs in the front pull out of the slots. Remove the four screws, using a drill/driver, in...

water can sometimes find its way in to the hitch area from improperly sealed trim down the sides of the cap, but more likely from the horizontal trim on the lower sides of the overhang.... another place to check for leaks from that area is where the top rain channel near the roof meets the...

push the drip pan firmly towards the back of the stove and you should feel some spring pressure, and once you have compressed the "spring" far enough, it should lift free....

OUCH!!! .....I would say there was a bit of an "acceptable" trade off as to where the damage was done.... ive seen cabinet doors and facia/seal trim torn off of slide units from something getting behind them and not being seen when extending the slide... it can be bad.

I have heard of the shorepower cord referred to as the umbilical cord, but never the trailer light/brake wire. get yourself a length of 7wire cord, some #10 yellow or blue ring terminals, and a 7way flat pin RV plug and make up a new cord and reconnect it to the junction box on the...

also, in addition to what cookie said, remove the igniter wires and check them thoroughly for bare spots..... I just repaired a unit that had all but one of the igniter wires worn thru and the insulation was cracked in spots.... it worked sometimes, but not dependably, so I just installed heat...

so the teeth on the gear have sheared off?... that is very unusual. when you put it back together, make sure the gear lash is proper, as the only reason that external teeth would fail is because it was either out of adjustment, or if the gear never got hardened after it was made.....

as stated in reply #2, there are only 2 logical reasons..... the displaced air HAS to go someplace, and if it cant get down thru the pyramid and up the vent tube, its got to pass by whatever is going down towards the holding tank.... a short drain snake can help with the pyramid that may be...

mine does the same... it says the username and password doesnt match... but im not wrong in what im typing in.. which was the reason for my earlier questions...

have you gotten down under there are really looked at it?.... I believe they have shear pins that can easily be replaced.

yes, but I dont know if it has any connection to this site, using our same username and password, or if it requires a complete new registration.... I dont want to set it up with a different username and password if the one im using here will allow me to access it... thanks

are you familier with the app?... after downloading it, do i need to set up an account there, or do i use the same one that I set up for this heartland forum? thanks

I and my travel buddies all installed solar on our rigs, which has been the single best upgrade that could ever be done to a boondockers rig.... now we want to install inverters to be able to use more of the power potential of our solar grids.. I dont fully understand what I need yet though...

if its a hydraulic slide unit, there is a rack and pinion set up below the slide unit, one near the front and one near the rear, and the pinion gears are connected with a long shaft between them.... this causes them to ALWAYS to be in time and turn at the same rate, regardless of how centered...

not normal at all.... I have no idea what could allow this to happen in the sun, but as most things expand slightly as it warms, i would say that the framing has failed and as the skin expands, it bows outward..... this happened to a trailer I used to have, but the sun had no effect on mine, it...

I think you will be too long... I bought a 35ft bighorn and I did an upgrade to the frame, and changed it from a 2 axle to a 3 axle trailer which allowed me to build a platform to carry both of my atvs behind, i did a lot of searching of the laws before I even bought the trailer, and 35ft...

I noticed that one of the gas springs/struts on my carefree travelr awning is leaking.... does anyone have the aftermarket part number for these gas struts?.... thank you

you should always allow the blackwater tank to fill up at least half way (more is better) before dumping..... the shape of the tank may allow the solids to set on the bottom of the partially filled tank, so that when the valve is opened, the liquids drain away leaving the solids setting in the...

the air-ride pin boxes will out perform any other kind, IF they are adjusted properly... the downside to them is that they need to aired up often. but I found that this can be cured by removing the airbag and adding tire slime to it, inflating it with air til its kind of tight, then rolling it...

yes, the dicor lap sealant is self leveling..... I dont bother with finding a roof truss because it doesnt matter as long as the plywood is attached to them (which is usually done with sealant and not mechanical fasteners)... screw thru the rubber membrane into the plywood with a screw on...

its hard to see what they are in that photo, but it wouldnt be hard to change it to a common type like the anderson connector.... or hard wire it.

the plumbing trade in your area seem to work a bit different than in most places... for a sewer drain, this method is an unsanitary way to make the installation..... the pipe HAS to be surrounded by concrete, otherwise any spills will leach into the sand and cause a perpetual mess.... if you...

I have no way of knowing what the connectors are, but if they arent proprietary to the device, they may be anderson connectors, as this type is the most common type for heavy loads...

24 inches of slow moving water on a solid roadbed... no problems IF you drive slow. those that think faster is better are the ones you usually see stalled out...

there are a few ways to mount panels to the roof, but as i do it for hire, I use uni-strut.... its a clean low profile installation. the layout is made where I want the mounts, then I pressure wash the areas and wipe it down with acetone..... then i make my precise marks where i want the mounts...

yes, you can do it the way you describe, but what you are doing is a customized installation, which deviates from "normal", so its impossible for anyone to give you advice that will parallel with your thoughts.... you will just need to do it the way that you think it will work in the manner that...

you can make it more confusing and difficult to do if you are planning to add the ATS for the inverter to just one leg of the power going into the distribution panel...... OR, you can keep it easy and much simpler to understand by connecting the ATS to BOTH legs coming into the distribution...
