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...

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

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...

Excellent! Happy Camping.

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...

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.

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:)

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...

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...

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.

My big concern with this is the amperage capacity of a "DC plug mounted in the truck bed". If the auxiliary battery is low on charge and the TV is started, there can be a lot of current applied to charge the battery. Definitely add the battery isolator and some circuit protection appropriate for...

As requested, here is the schematic for my setup: AuxBattery.pdf The specific parts I used are: Aus Battery: Optima Batteries 8016-103 D34M BlueTop Starting and Deep Cycle Marine Battery Battery Isolator: WirthCo 20092 Battery Doctor 125 Amp/150 Amp Battery Isolator 50 Amp Breaker: Bussmann...

My second battery is happy running without charging for a verified two and a half days, and the deep cycle battery is OK with that. When we are camping it is usually in the back of my TV with the charging setup from the car, and it is rare that we don't drive somewhere every couple of days. I...

I think 100 watts (might get away with 90) is the minimum you can get away with. Of course it depends greatly on if there is any shade, if you can position the panel to get direct sun at the right angle, what the ambient temperature is, and the actual condition of the battery. It also depends on...

We have been carrying our Dometic in the TV since we got the trailer. One thing I would strongly suggest if you do this is to replace your TV starting battery with a dual purpose starting/deep cycle battery. If you don't start the TV at the very least every 24 hours, the TV battery will be...
