Re: forward interior lights do not turn on with light switches
Sorry to be absent, but just got to addressing the problem. And yes Craig, it was a blown 20 amp fuse. It turns out that the forward lights appear to be on a separate fuse than the rear coach lights. I am relieved to have a simple fix. Simple things can seem complicated when unfamiliar! Thank you all for responding to my request. Much appreciated!205Views0likes0CommentsRe: forward interior lights do not turn on with light switches
Thanks Craig. Yes, I am talking about the switches on the 12v light fixtures. But with 4-5 overhead fixtures and 2-3 wall fixtures all not turning on from their own switches, is there a separate wall switch that operates these? Or are the rear lights on a separate fuse from the forward lights?205Views0likes0Commentsforward interior lights do not turn on with light switches
The interior lights from the entry door to the rear of my 34' Bounder all turn on via their individual light switches. The interior lights from the entry door forward do not when I turn on the individual light switches?? I appreciate your suggestions and advice!1KViews0likes5CommentsRe: Mounting 24v 305w panels on roof
Thanks much for the suggestions. This stuff is elementary, but can be confusing to a beginner. Looked over the various videos which are helpful and illustrative! And yes, panels are 50 mm, (1.9 inch). Leaning toward mounting with L brackets in a way that I can remove them if need be. Pros and cons of aluminum vs stainless steel for strength and weathering?320Views0likes0CommentsMounting 24v 305w panels on roof
Just got my two 24v 305 watt RENESOLA panels, each about 77" x 39", but no mounting hardware was included. The person doing the installing suggested that I order some pre-made brackets to save the expense of his making custom brackets. So, I would appreciate advice and thoughts about what brackets to use, where to buy them, and tips on mounting the panels to the RV roof. Thank you!1.8KViews0likes9CommentsRe: Charging AGM Batteries
I ordered 2 AGM Lifeline 300 ah batteries. The dealer emphasized that the batteries "liked" to be charged as fast as possible, that 100amps or greater is great, and 60amps is a minimum. He also emphasized that float needed to be no more than 13.1 or 13.2, otherwise the batteries would get "cooked" over time and lose more than half their life.347Views0likes0CommentsRe: $.80 solar panels
