Re: Help with name for a molding product?

To give the seam a good clean looking joint, mask above and below the joint, run a thin bead of caulking, smooth it out with your finger then remove the tape while the caulking is still wet. brilliant, that's my plan many thanks161Views0likes0CommentsHelp with name for a molding product?
I wanted to buy some stuff but don't know the name for it--I am replacing the countertop in my rv kitchen. On the rear of the counter where it attached to the wall of the trailer, I need some molding that prevents water from getting into the seam and wrecking the particleboard. What's that stuff called? Is there a better way to seal off the back edge?1.1KViews0likes5CommentsRe: can i charge 2 batteries parallel w/ 1 float charger?

I was going to add a second battery to my camper. I have a second float charger so I can disconnect them at home and charge them separately (my RV converter is shot) but was wondering it I could leave them wired together and just hook the charger to one battery. Sorry if this has been asked a million times, my charger is nothing sophisticated, just a "battery tender"1.9KViews0likes9CommentsRe: need help troubleshooting inverter
Yes, I used the wrong term, converter. The inverter is working fine, it turns 120>>12 and the 12v system works fine with a fresh battery, it's just not charging the battery The think I'm talking about is the transformer that charges the battery when I'm plugged into shore power. It warms up but the fans don't turn and it puts out no voltage. I can get a new converter box that I just mount next to the old power center that has a better charger built in for maybe 200 bucks, I suspect that's what I'll do if I start camping more that 8 times a year. Boy it would not be a camping trip without something new to fix...234Views0likes0Commentsneed help troubleshooting inverter
I have an "American" brand inverter in my trailer. It is putting out no voltage to the battery for charging when hooked to shore power. All lights in the trailer will work on both 110 and 12v so the power is getting from the battery to the box. All the fuses are intact. I checked a glass fuse on the inverter board that looks OK No obvious loose wires The fans on the inverter are turning but just a little and the unit is warming up, so it's doing something I guess I can keep removing the battery and putting it on a tender between trips, I don't camp all that much, but if there is a simple fix I'm missing beyond replacing some expensive board I'm all ears.1.6KViews0likes8Comments
