Project LM 365

[Jesstruckn/Jesstalkn]

Good to know Jerrod is kicking around somewhere. I was missing his posts. Jerrod, did you post somewhere the info on ordering the 12 volt monitor?

No sorry
I found them on Amazon. They are a flush mount. I did a small notch in the bottom of the meter to route the wires out of the bottom, instead of out the back of the mounting plate.
This way I was able to mount the plate in position then click the meter into it.
If you do it there way the wires have to slide freely out the back of the plate in order to mount it. Hope this make sense.

Update on the "Furrion Wireless Backup Camera"
After a 700 mile run, this thing worked flawlessly. I have no booster antennas or anything else.

Hey @jesstalkn my inverter on my road warrior started clicking this weekend like it was trying to engage but wouldn't while running on my genset. Does this mean the factory inverter is giving up on me or what? It ran for about an hour before this started. Thanks and sorry to derail the topic.

Is it the Invertor for the residential fridge ????
A clicking sound would probably be the transfer switch
Or are talking about the convertor ???
Convertor

Invertor

Transfer switch fore fridge

I don't have a residential fridge. It's the loud click I hear when switching from shore power to genset. Didn't know all these options existed. I'm a novice camper owner. Still trying to learn.

The load clicking noise you hear is your transfer switch it should click off of shor power then a louder click on to gen power but once it clicks over you shouldn't hear anymore clicking until you shut off the gen or switch back to shor power.

Transfer switch
I have 3 of them
2 in the basement for
My shor power
Gen power and
Invertor power

And the small one for the fridge

Yea this is the loud click I'm referring to. It started just clicking over and over like it was trying to engage and couldn't. Where should I start my troubleshooting.

Edit: not wire nuts

Check for loose wire jam screws inside of the transfer switch
Unplug the unit from shore power and shut off gen of course.
Tighten all of the screws in the circles on the picture
See if that fixes it first
You my need to check the connections at the gen junction box to
It could just be a bad transfer switch

The green arrows show the switch's.... when on shore power the blue piece is up on that line and the gen line blue piece will be down then just the opposite when on gen power. That is the clicking noise you hear.

I found these "Lever-Nuts" on Amazon.
They are a lever activated wire connector that it reusable over and over. Like a wire nut / butt connector. You can add or remove 1 wire at a time and use all types and sizes of wire.
I think they will work perfectly for all of my projects inside the RV.

Did you get to look at it yet ?

 

[JBoyerinAbq]

Jess,

Do you remember the dimensions of your drawer catches? Mine are sliding open and I want to COPY your great idea. Before I start cutting, I thought you might remember after prototyping.

Thanks,

Jeff

No I didn't have time after cleaning up all the filth off of it from camping on our farm. I had to get it in storage tonight because I leave for work in the morning. I am going to try and go back up to storage this weekend and pull the basement wall out. Have you designed a better way to keep the wall in there or pulling the screws in and out every time the best way? I did run the generator this afternoon while cleaning it out and everything worked perfectly. I'm guessing I have a loose connection somewhere.

Jeff actually I didn't measure a thing. I stuck the piece of wood in there and rolled it pressing hard ageist the sharp corners of the cabinet face, that made 2 marks on the wood of the exact thickness my blocks needed to be mounted at. once I had my marks I marked the piece a little better with a pencil. Then mounted 1 block on one side, and one on the other out side of those marks. I used a nail gun to mount them and then cleaned it all up on the belt sander.
Hope that made sense. If not I can recreate with pictures
We were getting ready to head out, and the idea popped into my head just before we put the slide in. I was tired of that cabinet door pushing open and hitting the island. So I knocked it out in about 5 minutes. If I did it again I would sand the inner part of the outer blocks before I nailed them into place.

I did a check on the digital 12v gauge, It's a little off. I have 1 more I'll see if it's the same
There maybe a calibration screw inside but I doubt it.

It's still a great reference in any case and it's only .6 volts off. I don't think it will be a problem as long as you know what the normal value displayed is so if you see any change you'll be aware there's an issue to investigate. Much easier than carrying a DVM with you all the time.

Jerrod,

I have to admit, I copied them too, THANKS!, but I made mine out of 1/4 " oak that I had laying around. Made mine 1 piece instead of glueing the ends on.

Jeff,

Mine are 3/4" between the stops or ends, and the stops are 1/2". So the overall length of mine are 1-3/4 inches long.

Sounds like a good idea too.

Just a note of clarification on these baskets --- I just ordered three through HL Customer Service (Parts Department). The correct part number is 0171598. Don't use the 404222 number. You order them over the phone and someone contacts you for your credit card info when the items are shipped. Delivery is about 10 days, per the parts guy.

They are about $20 each but you get a 10 percent discount if you are a member of the HL Owner's Club.

HTH.

Jerrod, maybe your volt meter needs to be calibrated. Just a thought.
