Our 5’er has a Dometic furnace with Airexcell thermostat. It has been short-cycling recently.The problem is worse when it is cold (first turned on) and seems to improve when it runs for a while. When first turned on, it will only fire for a couple se...
I noticed the other day that my slide roof has a tiny nick in the membrane right on the edge/crease. It’s only about 1/4-1/2” or so and otherwise intact. I did an inspection and can’t see anything sharp that might have caused it. Might be self-inflic...
Well shortly after getting this all sorted in our last travel trailer, we just upgraded to a new to us Keystone Sprinter Campfire 5th wheel. While it’s pretty close to perfect for our needs, it unfortunately did not come with a single 12v or USB outl...
I just bought a 2004 Sierra Duramax for our new to us 5er coming next week hopefully. I’ve pulled out my hair trying to figure out the best kit etc. for mounting the rails. Looks a bit more complicated than our previous ram’s kit although I didn’t in...
Our Open Range trailer came with multiple USB outlets installed. They only work intermittently with 1 or 2 cords we have (most do nothing). When it does work, the LED lights in the trailer flicker annoyingly.I’m hoping I can just wire in some higher...
Hello all, OP here again!Long story short, we had an unexpected opportunity to upgrade our truck and trailer to get a new-to-us 5th wheel. It’s a perfect rig for us (never again with the no-slide trailer).So after this whole process with the last tra...
I’ll probably use #12 or 14 (or better depending on what I have on hand). I’m assuming I shouldn’t need an inline fuse if I’m wiring back to a fused circuit. I’m talking about just 12v system here - I want to be able to use the outlets for dry campin...
I’m was able to get the first outlet/voltmeter combo wired in and installed last night. Seems to work well but the voltage reading does drop when an accessory is also plugged into the outlet. I’m not sure if this corresponds to the voltage fluctuat...
Our new trailer came with a Norcold 12v 8 cu ft fridge. Seems pretty nice for an entry-level trailer like ours. I’m running 2- 6v interstates with about 100 and change usable aH. It is definitely a big draw on the system. I find we’re bumping on th...
Good info! I wouldn’t have known to look for the better charging rate. Hopefully some better quality units will fix the problem. I’d like one with the built in voltmeter as well - I had thought about sacrificing a usb outlet to install one, so the...
