    Is a power inverter possible when on battery/solar power?

    There should be a label on the coffee maker somewhere, usually on the bottom or on the back near where the power cord goes in. It is usually a sticker so may have come off. A coffee maker is pretty power hungry, but it actually doesn't run for a long time unless you leave it set to keep a pot warm.

    Is a power inverter possible when on battery/solar power?

    You can certainly use an inverter in your situation, however you would be much better off finding a 12V coffee maker. Do a search on Amazon for "12v coffee maker" and you will find lots of choices. While the inverter could be used with a conventional coffee maker, you will lose a significant...

    Power Port In Cabin Not Working

    Check the fuses, the panel is in the right galley undercounter storage. There is a blue cover you can remove by loosening a couple of screws. The cover has a diagram showing the fuse assignments.

    Stabilizer Jack Maintenance

    Great idea! I'm ordering some today. However, you really want 1/2" x 12" lag bolts, or possibly a bit shorter. The ones you indicated have a 1-1/8 head and are much too big (and expensive). These may be more appropriate: (15) Galvanized Hex Head 1/2 x 10" Lag Bolts Wood Screws: Amazon.com...

    Stabilizer Jack Maintenance

    If you are using the Camp Inn supplied jack crank, yes it is pretty difficult to make significant gains in height after the jack hits the ground. The crank is actually pretty small and doesn't give much leverage, you have to put some real weight on it. Many owners add another means of adjusting...

    Furnace Furnace Hi/low Addition

    I'm happy to hear that the Hi/Low switch is working for you. I installed the switch in our 560 and while it did improve the furnace operation altitude, it still did not work for us above 5,000 ft. I pulled the heater out and modified the air flow switch by adding a bit of metal to it, and now...

    Trouble Getting The Latch Down On The Trailer Coupler

    I checked the adjustment bolt, it takes a 3/4" wrench or socket.

    Trouble Getting The Latch Down On The Trailer Coupler

    There is a large nut on the bottom of the hitch that can adjust the latch. Loosen the nut just slightly and the latch will be much easier to close. After the adjustment move the hitch up and down with the jack to be sure it doesn't move much when latched. This adjustment is there to accommodate...

    Mileage While Towing

    Welcome Ben. Did you get the optional roof racks? If you aren't carrying anything on them, pop them off; it is surprising how much they will affect mileage. If you carry stuff up there, the effect is much more. There are so many things that effect mileage, without doing careful controlled...

    Lots Of Time With Our Little Trailer

    Talk to Cary at Camp Inn about the roof rack. They offer on as an option, he may be able to send you a kit, and tell you where the brackets should be mounted to the structure.

    Auxiliary Battery For Refrigerator

    Indeed, that is exactly why I put that connector there. Several times when fiddling with it, I wanted to disconnect the cover, so I added the connector. (Confession - I have almost as much automotive electrical and mechanical bits in my shop as my wife has thread and fabric in hers. :cool:)

    Auxiliary Battery For Refrigerator

    I don't think this is possible, at least not without adding massive inefficiency. To elaborate on the last statement, powering an inverter and two battery chargers would work, but I don't think that is practical. I can imagine some fancy electronics, but nothing comes to mind that would be off...

    Auxiliary Battery For Refrigerator

    Randy - that battery box looks just the part, essentially everything I purchased and assembled in pieces, but already put together. I would be a bit nervous about the exposed wing-nut terminals, a stray camp chair with a metal frame could make things interesting; some kind of cover would be...

    Propane Tank Question

    It is regulated to 20 psi which is pretty high for many appliances. Check the requirements of the heater to see if this is appropriate.
