Getting Batteries and Propane Off Tongue
Hi All, Experienced Class A'er, but recently got our first TT, a 30' keystone and in the process of getting ready for a long (8 months-ish) trip in the US. I'm installing inverter, larger golf cart batteries, and these alone will add a hundred pounds to tongue weight. I am also interested in larger or more propane capacity beyond the 2x20lb. Our TT's frame is covered with a plastic cardboard which is nice and clean but am reluctant to hack away at that to find areas to use. Looking for creative and safe solutions to place batteries, propane and inverter gear closer to axles.5.5KViews0likes26CommentsRe: What did you do to your Class A MH today???

Might be worth getting a second opinion on the existing genset... Also maybe shop around for a used replacement even if its toast. toomoxy wrote: Went on my second camping trip... found out my Generator will run but is not powering anything. ARGH.... Thank goodness the fairgrounds had 15amp hook up... but sucks no AC and was so hot and humid. I had a small engine repair shop check generator and they confirmed that my "General" 5500 generator is not powering anything even though is running and is a closed unit wtih belt that is difficult to repair if even possible or worth it (so piece of crap). I'm so fed up... This was my dream for over 20 years, of purchasing an RV for dog shows. But my fellow dog show campers assured me that "this soon shall pass" and once I get it all working and figure it all out, that i will have many years of happy camping. I have been looking at the new onan RV QG 7000 to ensure I can run both AC's at same time (one for dogs in the garage area) and one for me all night and during transport to sites. Figuring buy the best and hope I will be problem free for longer. Cheapest one is $4,422.00 and thankfully salesperson told me I would also need harness assembly at $130.00 and exhaust acc at $120.00 free shipping and tax free... cheapest I have found yet. Hoping to find someone to install for decent price and properly. Dealerships sure range in hourly rates from $90.00-$180.00! Installed my new led bulbs from China that someone on here recommended. they were so dim at home.... however once I plugged in at the fairground they were PERFECT... They still get warm though (not as hot for sure) and the ones I put over the sink were angled down a bit...never thought about it until I noticed smoke coming from it and realised that the bulb touched the plastic cover ...Thankfully I was there. Guess I needed shorter ones there...weird the sockets would point down though. Noticed the bottom corner covers on the pushout sides are gone with a big gap...hope that is just cosmetic... Forgot to make sure the counters didn't have anything on them before driving away... lost my new coffee pot :( still trying to figure out how to make those rear spot lights at the top of the garage door ramp to go on... What an adventure...LOL189Views0likes0CommentsRe: What did you do to your Class A MH today???
Fixed the rear A/C. After it stopped working, called around (during a heat wave, of course), told 2-3 weeks out for them to look at it, and one kind lady explained to me they don't fix these things, they replace them. I tried to explain to her it seemed like there were several replaceable parts, to no avail. Anyway, after a ton of research, finally determined starting relay and capacitor were both bad, ordered a replacement kit from ebay, $25, had it shipped to a friend near us, and 5 minutes later, back in business.298Views0likes0Comments
