    Dometic DM2852 making noise then quit

    So I still have the same problem with DC power to both slide outs in the main living area. DC power feeds two lights in one slide out and four in the other along with the fridge. As a temporary fix I ran wire from the hot battery buss to the fridge, so it has been working, but none of the lights...

    Starting from scratch: Solar system to boondock with

    Thanks for the info Bogie, To answer some of your questions: I have a lot of roof space, I think it should be enough. I do plan to operate it year round, so it will need to be efficient enough to charge on short winter days. I plan to do the install myself, I have a lot of mechanical and...

    Propane Flow Problem

    I disconnected everything from the regulator downstream and all fittings at the appliances and blew out every line. I did get some oil out of the line that connects to the hard pipe and one chunk of crud at the fitting that feeds the stove top. After cleaning all of that out and connecting all...

    Propane Flow Problem

    I'm Actually in CO. It was about 15 F this morning, that is a very typical low temp this time of year, we have been here all winter with no propane problems at all. I really don't think it is temp related. It's now early afternoon 45 F and I have the same symptoms.

    Propane Flow Problem

    I am having a similar problem. Last night my propane ran out, I switched bottles this morning and could not get the furnace to fire back up. I checked the burners on the stove top and other appliances. I definitely have a flow problem! I typically only use the door side propane connection and...

    Dometic DM2852 making noise then quit

    Every other DC component is working except the 2 overhead lights in the other main room slideout. Overhead lights throughout the rest of the rig, furnace, fans, ect.. all work fine. The junction box on the frame under the slideout has only AC wires in it. Conduit runs through the frame next to...

    Dometic DM2852 making noise then quit

    Thanks for the info Dan, my wife is not sure now if it continued to run after she pulled the fuse, she did add that the flickering lights were dimming and acting as if they were losing power as the noise was occurring. Based on that I assume we lost DC power to the slide out slowly, over a...

    Landing Gear hydraulic leak

    I have a 2011 Cyclone 3800. The front left landing gear leg is leaking hydraulic fluid. Unfortunately this is the one located behind the generator box and is almost impossible to access it to inspect. Does anyone know a trick to getting to that area without removing the generator and generator...

    EPDM roof cracking/crazing

    2015 Cyclone roof has this cracking/crazing all over it. I think it is also referred to as aligatoring? Does anyone know what causes this and what the effects are on the longevity of the roof. It seems a 4 year old roof should not be showing this type of condition.

    Does the WeBoost act as the wifi hotspot or or does it just boost the signal of your phone/wifi hot spot? What cellular service do you use with it?

    Hello all, I am looking to increase our wifi reception and reliability. We full time RV and for the most part have had pretty good luck with RV park wifi, however there are times where the signal is very weak and slow. In the near future we would like to do more remote locations, so I assume we...

    2011 Cyclone 3800. I am currently parked in Colorado where the low temps have been in the single digits for the last few days. I'm using the fresh tank for water and the water line to the pump is freezing every night, I assume it is occurring at the tank outlet? I'm not positive because I...

    Solar System From scratch

    Oregon_Camper, Thanks for the reply and the very well done diagram. I assumed I would run the panels in series since it is a relatively small system, however I would like it to be as efficient as possible. Yes, I would like to install an inverter, I think it will be necessary to run the...

I would like to install a solar system that will make it possible for us to dry camp for long periods with out using the generator. Our electric use is not extreme, we rarely use A/C...
