    Can you turn fridge on while towing?

    We have a dometic gas/electric combo fridge in our new Fuel travel trailer. Is it okay/safe to turn it on while traveling? If so, if I leave it on auto, will the 7 pin provide enough electric from my truck to run it? 2020 GMC 3500. Thanks in advance!

    F-287 Plumbing Drain

    That's good to know. I don't think it's that simple, unfortunately. The first thing we did was drain the rest of the water from the fresh tank and within an hour or two the leaking stopped. We're taking it out this weekend and will be filling it when we arrive, then watch it a bit before we...

    F-287 Plumbing Drain

    Yes, I mean since there is no way to drain the hot and cold water lines, there could be a chance for those to freeze? Or would they completely empty into the grey water tank or something? The reason I bring it up, is because the tech from Good Sam who helped me with the fresh water drain leak...

    F-287 Plumbing Drain

    OK, yes, the cap on the blue hose does seem to be perforated and it is right around the area where the fridge is located, so that must be what it is. So we just need to be mindful about that in freezing weather...? I don't know that we'll be camping in freezing weather, or storing it in...

    F-287 Plumbing Drain

    We got our new 2021 Fuel F-287 yesterday and I have noticed a small drip coming from the fresh tank low point drain. It's a slow drip that is coming from the foam sealant around the under belly and not the drain valve itself. I know the dealer did some plumbing work before delivering, so it...

    2021 F-287 Lights

    Thanks! We just did the walk through and signed on Saturday and all the interior lights seem to be all LED. Not sure on the others you mentioned.

    New trailer, now for solar

    I imagine if you have been using it for years with no issue, no need to be alarmed at this point.

    New trailer, now for solar

    Yeah, I really don't get it and she wasn't super technical to be able to explain in detail why that is; only that it's not recommended. Perhaps they are worried about less reliable modified, or low power inverters or something? But then on the other hand, they specifically talk about how...

    2021 F-287 Lights

    I've seen some threads about people who have replaced all their bulbs with LED to save on energy. Does anyone know if the newer Fuel models have LED lights standard?

    New trailer, now for solar

    You know, it's interesting, because my in-law's had a 5th wheel with a pure sine inverter and I ran my cpap off of it with no problems. This was without realizing it wasn't recommended by Resmed. But after doing some research recently, for whatever reason, they do not recommend using it on an...

    Fuel F-287

    OK, thanks! I found a cat scale at a love truck stop not too terribly far. Is there any etiquette with this? I assume there could be a weight (har har) to use the scales. Anything I should be mindful about? I have no idea how they work so I'm sure I'll be slower than someone with more...

    New trailer, now for solar

    Did you DIY all of it? It's a bit intimidating. Also, why do you have the multiplus if you are running 2 separate controllers? I thought the controllers were for charging the batteries, so I'm not sure why that might be needed in the inverter?

    New trailer, now for solar

    Excellent, thank you. Is that all Victron equipment? There doesn't really seem to be many dealers here in Phoenix. Is Renogy sufficient?

    New trailer, now for solar

    So we should be picking up our new Fuel Toyhauler on Saturday and we need to install a solar panel kit with inverter. I have about a zillion questions regarding solar, but my most pressing question is in regards to AC inverter and DC converter. I have to use a CPAP machine at night and my...

    Fuel F-287

    Hi all, We just applied for financing on a 2021 Fuel F-287. Assuming the loan gets approved, we should be picking the unit up on the 18th. I have a 2020 Denali 3500 SRW that I put a 4" suspension lift and larger 35" tires on, which put us just a wee bit too high to fit a 5th wheel, so we...
