Remove and remount entry door frame
Well, here goes. I am about to replace my entry door hinges for the second time. Needless to say, during the last replacement, I let the mount plates behind the frame fall to the bottom because I didn't know they were there. To keep the new hinges tight, I up sized the mounting screws as recommended. The fix has not lasted and the ongoing slight loosening of the hinge mountings has caused door sticking and closing problems. The hinges also don't respond well to this and get bent. I am going to try and remove the frame, retrieve the plates and remount the frame. Since I am insecure as to the remount being within my skill set. I need to know if anyone has any first hand knowledge, personal experience, tutorials or videos that I can refer to.2.8KViews0likes7CommentsRe: Intellitec energy management system
The Intellitec Electronic Climate Control System does indeed control all AC and 12v furnace functions. The unit controls all power shedding which is necessary for our 30 amp systems. I had to send mine to get it cleaned and refurbished(about $400.00). Check out this one https://waiterecc.com/. He's been developing it for quite sometime. If mine goes belly up again,I'm gonna look into this one.481Views0likes0Comments- 609Views0likes0Comments

Mine will be strictly for the fridge while rolling and the two 6v should be plenty. The wall by the copilot seat or the compartment above the LP may be my best choices. Thanks for the ideas.361Views0likes0CommentsRe: inverter location
My converter is ok and staying as is. The 1200 watt inverter(with auto switch) is for the fridge only. I am converting my existing RM7732 Dometic from absorption to compression. I am hoping some folks that have placed an inverter in a unit similar to mine will see this and tell me where they put it.361Views0likes0CommentsRe: inverter location

Use the main 12v battery connection for 12v power. Use a small transfer switch to power the single branch circuit to the fridge. Just make connections, no pulling wire. This is a suggestion that I like! I am a little leery of not home running the battery wire.361Views0likes0Comments
