Solar wiring and other questions
I just bought a solar panel to plug into my rv to top off batteries, it's going to be portable so I'll plug it in when we get to a campsite so I don't have to use the generator as often. I got the Renogy Wanderer and a 100watt panel. When wiring to battery does the negative go after the shunt I use now for my battery level gauge and the positive go before the shunt on the battery? Can I run my generator or use shore power while solar is on and charging or will it hurt it? I have no clue, thanks.287Views0likes1CommentMicrowave recall
So many times I walked by the Minnie Winnie when it was plugged into power on the side of the house I heard a beeping sound and could never figure it out when we got our motorhome, I'd unlock it and go searching and could never catch the culprit but one day when I was in there the microwave started beeping. I thought it was odd and would just turn off the breaker from then on when it was parked there. I went to use it the other day and noticed the whole panel was lit up and all the buttons not responding to my touch. I removed it from its cabinet and started fiddling with it but had no luck so I googled the model number and brand for tips on what could be wrong and I noticed they had a recall on my model but our motorhome is a 2003 model. I called Samsung and the woman asked which model I had and she told me it was recalled. They are sending me a check to buy a new one! Pretty good service after 14 years! Thanks Samsung. If you plan on doing this, be prepared to be on hold for a while though.1KViews0likes1CommentRe: electrical short?
I know this is an old thread but mine had been doing that since we got it, touch the frame, bumper, step or anything, even the dog got a shock sniffing the step. So I got bored to today and went and put a meter on the frame and sure enough had about 9 volts running through it so I tested it by plugging in the generator and it didn't do it, it was only when plugged in to shore power. All I did was take off the electric box cover where the power goes into the MH and tighten all the big wire nuts and tested it again and everything is fine. I'm so lazy it only took me 10 years. :D817Views0likes0CommentsRe: What did you do to your Class C MH today???
UPS delivered Rear Anti-Sway bar today. Got all excited to install it, moved RV, crawled underneath with tools and parts, u-bolts in the parts box were the wrong size, called the company and got a recording, more waiting. :M They did call back and are sending correct parts.413Views0likes0Comments
