    Update for wifi/ starlink

    I just got a Starlink Mini, coupled with a Google Chromcast TV, finished installation just this morning. First off, we have a big Starlink dish on our house, we live in an area where there is no internet infrastructure and it has been working well for us for several years. Starlink offered me...

    Dometic Cff35

    I can tell you probably what not to get. I just purchased a NOCO GB70 jumper pack, I got it to take along in case we need to jump our TV battery. It is rated to put out 2000A, certainly plenty to start a car with a dead battery. It has a capacity of 5 Ah. I charged it up and thought I would...

    Leveling question

    I use all three. I always set the jacks for a solid base. I use a milwaukee m18 driver. If one wheel is off the ground I put leveling blocks under it, sometimes the Legos, sometimes the wedges. Using the jacks to lift two wheels off the ground is strictly forbidden, the jacks are very weak in...

    Refilling 1lb propane bottles...

    If you watch the refill of a BBQ bottle, you will notice the tech opens a valve on the tank while the liquid propane is going in, closing it when the fill is complete. This relieves the pressure in the bottle so the liquid can go in without increasing the pressure. The little bottles don't have...

    Sink Sink / Water Tanks

    You can have your camper built without the water system, ask Cary. Several have been built that way. It saves some room in the galley and some weight in the camper. It might reduce the cost a minor amount. However, we use the sink all the time. It is very convenient to just pull a glass a water...

    Battery and de-winterizing ny 550 Camp Inn

    You didn't say if you have a lithium battery. If so, some versions of lithium battery have an internal "shut off" mechanism that powers down the battery to prevent parasitic drain. There is a reset procedure to turn it on, perhaps what you did woke it up.

    Traveling in rain-Water inside cabin

    I had water come in around the marker lights above the doors. Some RTV under the light where the wires go into the body, plus around the edges of the light solved it.

    Replacing gas lines, how to DIY?

    Note that when doing gas fittings there is a special teflon tape to use - it is yellow where the stuff for water is white. If you use brush on dope, again there is special stuff that is for gas. Also, if it is a flare fitting, no sealing tape/goop, it is assembled dry. A small leak in a water...

    List To Port.

    I have done just as you suggested to adjust the ride height on our 560. Pull off the wheel, loosen the torsion bar pinch bolt, pull off the arm (careful, it's heavy and awkward) and put it back rotated one spline. Be sure to torque the pinch bolt well and check after driving a bit to be sure the...

    Tire Replacement?

    If your tires read 3804, indeed they are 20 years old. It's time. There are a number of factors that age tires at different rates, but at 20 years it is really time. Better replace at home than on the road somewhere.

    Dc - Dc Charger Install - Fusing And Wire Gauge Questions

    When I did my DC-DC install, I noted that the 7-pin cable from the hitch back to the kitchen has #10 ground and DC feed; the other wires may be smaller as they don't carry as much current. One would hope that the wiring in the tow vehicle is consistent with the circuit it connects to, If...

    Dc - Dc Charger Install - Fusing And Wire Gauge Questions

    Be careful here. The DC to DC is rated to supply 30 amps. Your alternator can certainly put out 30 amps. Your battery will accept 30 amps if it is deeply discharged. You need to use large enough wire between your alternator, all the way through the tow and the trailer, to the charger and then to...
