Re: RV Residential Refrigerators
people must have the thermo shut down system installed and also be aware if your Norcold fridge quits cooling don't keep trying to run it obviously "IF" the picture showing the fire is caused by a Norcold it was because he never had the shut off device installed and kept running the fridge even though it was not cooling484Views0likes0CommentsRe: Buying a used RV in USA as a Canadian
On another note, we will be long timing in a couple of years..and I am on a couple of boards..what I notice is a patchwork of confusing laws spread over our provinces and the 'states..just this thread shows the differences from coast to coast. You think 10 provinces and different laws are confusing try 50+ US states!! now there is bu-reauc-ra-cy it its finest539Views0likes0CommentsRe: Class A DP Trailer Brake Controller Wiring

Tekonsha sent me some pictures of the plug and specific wiring instructions, but if I can't find the wiring I'm still stuck. As for actuating the controller with air brakes - Even air brakes activate brake lights; and that's how the controller receives the signal. The search will continue. Thanks for the answers and suggestions. Pat in Menifee, CA www.patcarnathan.com DID??? you look at the 7 pole connector and make sure you have the Blue brake lite wire???????? If its factory wired you will have a Blue wire for the brakes, red or black for the charge,white for grounds,BRown for tail/run,yellow/green for turn/brake lites and another wire if Back up lites are prewired. so SIX or SEVEN wires go look985Views0likes0CommentsRe: Class A DP Trailer Brake Controller Wiring
DSDP Don wrote: If you're prewired, the loom will USUALLY consist of four wires, similar in color to the wires on your controller. The issue with DP's is that they don't use a brake switch which triggers the braking system. They use pressure sensors on the firewall. You need something to trigger the system and make sure it doesn't come on with the exhaust/engine brake. Most likely the factory wires are there for towing Hooking the controller to the brake lite sensor is same as brake lite switch As far as the exhaust brake goes how would it come on? BUT If you have a trailer heavy enough you need electric brakes then there is no way a little exhaust brake will be sufficient to not only hold back the MH on a steep decline but the loaded trailer also985Views0likes0CommentsRe: onan 7500 quiet Diesel

MagillaGorilla wrote: The gen does not charge the HOUSE batteries on my 96 Damon. Also it does not have an inverter. There is zero available 120 VAC power unless you are plugged in to shore power or run the gen. the point others were trying to make is if the gen set is running then the house batterys will charge through your converter exactly the same way they charge when on shore power It matters not if you had a inverter because that has zero to do with 12V charging systems maybe for some bizzare reason on that old of a MH the plug in your using for the converter does not work on gen side? All u had to do was test that plug at the time and simply plug your converter into one that was live on gen run The new to you one will charge house batterys while driving and while running gen set276Views0likes0CommentsRe: Buying a used RV in USA as a Canadian

I'll be going to look at the 2006 319TS tomorrow (it's a few hours away). I'll be looking to go full time RV'ing, as a first time RV'er.

I don't worry about getting to point A from point B like I did when I owned other RV brands. Good Luck to you. and I can show you a dozen people whom hate winnebego and would never buy another.The absolute two best class A made to day taking average affordabe units is TIFFIN and NEWMAR And I can show you a dozen people who hate Tiffin, especially when Dad tried to retire. Newmar and Foretravel however have very few if any dissatisfied customers. But very pricy. Out of my range anyway. That is/was my point ALL makes have problems I know a foretravel guy whom paid 12K to have his roof redone at the factory.lasted 2 years and they refuse to help to fix it I know a fellow that bought a kingaire. Aquahot had a hole in the line that was made by an assembly screw(took 3 weeks and a lot of pissed off people) before they found it Also one front wheel bearing was sent out with no that was another nasty encounter TIFFIN is the only one alive that at least fixes things or supplys free parts even when out of warrenty327Views0likes0Comments
