I looked all over those labels and no model number info I could find. They are warnings in English, French and Spanish. I believe it is a Suburban. The 2" duct to the bedroom and up front are factory as that's all that will fit into the space provided through the bathroom and under the shower...

Hi folks. I bought a 2010 North Trail 26 RKS last April and the paperwork package that came with it has the heater manual for a different heater than what is installed. There are no model numbers on any of the visible sides of the heater. Anyone know what it might be and have a manual...

Any resolution to this one? An eye-burning odor would indicate some kind of plastic or other synthetic burning. Since a hose came off, the furnace was short-cycling the hot air inside the heater. Check all the wiring and fittings carefully as you probably had really hot air circulating inside...

I know, late to the party. Can my wife and I be added to the waitlist?

Here is another one I found: http://www.gen-pro.biz/_p/prd12/2661499201/product/single-phase-115v-(12-20-rla)

100w solar panels generally will deliver about 85w reliably since you will never have them directly aimed at the sun on a completely clear day for more than an hour or two. Using an MPPT charge controller will take the excess voltage and convert it to charging current whereas other types just...

As a followup, I returned the Champion and bought the new Harbor Freight 3500W inverter generator. It runs like a dream, has electric start, and runs my AC, fridge and battery charger no problem.

I am returning mine to Costco as it won't even start the AC by itself. Goes into overload in 1/2 second. BTW, I am at 5500 ft elevation but even derating it for elevation it should still have plenty of power. Just doesn't. And Champion tech support doesn't seem to care. Just told me to get...

I bought the 3100W gas unit and it is going back to Costco. It will not start my AC unit without going into overload. I have shut off all other breakers just to make sure that something else isn't causing this. Champion tech support said I should have bought a 4800W unit! Even with all the...

Actually, you would hook them up in parallel and still have 12v but with twice the capacity. Also, if you are trying to run appliances through an inverter with only one or two batteries, that is your problem. Here is the math simplified. If you have 12v at 100ah rating, that is about equal to...

Lots of mosquitoes! Otherwise a beautiful spot looking east over the lake towards the mountains.

Near Great Sand Dunes NP over 4th of July weekend.

Added a 3" thick gel topper to the mattress and it is now pretty nice! A lot less expensive than a new mattress.

Thanks for all the replies. I installed two 100W Renogy panels on the roof and anchored them with #12 sheet metal screws. The screws gripped pretty good into the material. I sealed everything with white self-leveling EPDM sealer. I ran the wiring inside the bedroom wall where the electrical...

In what way did the well nuts not perform as expected? I would expect them to hold the panels in place. I would not expect them to be completely sealed by themselves.

I had a bunch of coupons for Camping World (about $70 worth) so I bought the Lippert Self Adjusting brake assemblies. Most of the original shoes were pretty worn out. On one side, the front brake adjuster and retaining spring fell out when I removed the drum! The rear one on that side had the...

That is possibly true. What I would like to find out is where these shoes come from, meaning which automotive application did they steal for it. If I can find that, I can put in GOOD shoes that will work a lot better. WAAAY back when I was roadracing motorcycles, a company in Sacramento...

All this talk about disappointment in not being able to lock the trailer brakes under hard braking has me scared to drive around you guys! Your controller should be set to NOT lock the trailer brakes under the hardest braking. If your trailer brakes lock, you now have no directional control...

Well, I'll have mine home this afternoon. I will find out then.

Thanks for the quick reply. I haven't been up on my roof but it appears that the fiberglass front wraps over the top. I can't tell if it continues on or not. I am bringing it home from storage tomorrow and will check it then. I am using a couple of Renogy 100W panels I used for a solar...

Hi fellow travelers! I am going to install a couple solar panels on the roof of my 2010 North Trail 26RKS to keep the batteries charged during boondocking and when in storage. The question I have is how thick is the composite material on the roof? I recently had to replace a tail light and...

I have a 2010 North Trail 26RKS with the composite (fiberglass) roof. Can anyone tell me how thick that composite roof material is? I looked at the back wall and it appears to be about 1/4" thick. i want to mount solar panels on the roof using expanding rubber grommets.

300W flush mount MPPT charge contoller. This will easily keep a couple 12v batteries fully charged...

Well, we picked up our "new" 2010 North Trail 26RKS on Friday afternoon! WooHoo, we are now officially part of the RV crowd! Picked it up for a steal at $12k out the door. NADA for these things is north of $16k. TV is a 2004 Chevy Avalanche 1500 Z71 with factory tow package. First...

Just got a 1500W element at Lowes for $10. Wrench was $8. Gonna carry a spare at that price.

As he said, the troubleshooting guide is a great tool and walks you through each step with pictures and everything! Also, Home Depot has heater elements for a lot less than RV stores. Rheem...

We just got GS and, lo and behold, they quoted us Progressive! Came out a few bucks cheaper than the Progressive web site, too!

That feature is OK for small areas but an entire state would kill all available memory. In the average smartphone, you can store nearly the entire USA for offline use with Sygic. Just saw that new version has HUD feature as well. - - - Updated - - - Check it out. I don't pay any attention...

For those with a smartphone and want a great offline GPS system, Sygic works great! No need for a cell signal and all the maps are contained in your phone. I tried the free version and liked it so much that I paid for the full North America and Europe maps during one of their sales (I think it...

Seems like a simple fix is to go to a welding shop and have them make up an L bracket to bolt up to that. Now you would have a flat plate to bolt up about anything you like.

Its not the slow drivers that ****** me off, but the slow drivers who insist on driving in the middle lanes of the freeway (truckers included!). I guess their mindset is, "if I'm not in the slow lane, I can't be going slow". Reminds me of driving the M25 around London. All of the lorries (big...

Its all about the AH rating of the batteries. If the ratings of the 2 6v batteries add up to the same as the 12V batteries, then the amount of power available is the same. What shortens the life of batteries faster than anything else is drawing them down too far then letting them sit. Also...
