Roadtrek Tail light doesn't work
Aloha all: So our 2007 Roadtrek 170 (MJ 🙂) has a taillight (passenger side) that is out. Immediately thought bulb, so I changed that...still didn't work (later confirmed the original bulb and replacement are good), so I went to the fuse box...fuses are good too, which leads me to believe the problem with the wiring; is that a logical conclusion? I know there are many locations where wiring will have been run/spliced together; does anyone have a suggestion of where I should look specifically to isolate the problem for the passenger side taillight? Mahalo in advance.🤙 Mike565Views1like4CommentsRe: Battery separator/isolator replacement
Morning Nick. It certainly did work well for a long time. That said, I'm having trouble locating the exact replacement, so if someone has installed a different isolator (make and/or model) into a Roadtrek, I would greatly appreciate your constructive feedback.

Thanks Grit-dog. The person assisting me was an actual mechanic (my level of knowledge is looking for the giant "on/off" button 😁), and he tested everything, including every fuse in the near-by box... definitely the separator. And thanks for the replacement suggestions; I'll dig further to see what is recommended specifically for the Roadtrek, but what I've seen so far, a good, standard separator will work.784Views0likes0Comments- 855Views0likes0Comments
Battery isolator/separator breakdown
Aloha all: I have a 2007 Roadtrek 170 (MJ 🙂), and I’ve recently encountered a not seen before problem. The vehicle battery stopped charging (well, wasn’t holding a charge), and as it was a few years old, I replaced it…still didn’t hold a charge, but the house battery was still charging while MJ was running. We replaced the alternator, but still didn’t charge MJ battery, so we put the old alternator back in then disconnected the house and vehicle battery from the battery isolator/separator and hooked the vehicle battery directly to the alternator, as it would be in a regular vehicle. Result: vehicle battery charges fine, house battery does not charge while MJ is running (but still charges with the generator). This leads me to believe that my battery isolator/separator has crapped out. 👎🏼 Does that sound feasible/has anyone encountered this before? It just happened so I haven’t had a chance to look for a replacement isolator/separator. Any feedback would be VERY much appreciated. Mahalo Mike874Views1like6CommentsRe: Stove cover
That's awesome Casey, thank you so much! I've been on the phone with both Roadtrek and the maker of the stove...no one has that cover anymore. :( It looks like trying to fabricate something is the answer, but only thanks to those measurements...thanks again. :) Mike1.1KViews0likes0Comments
