Re: How to turn off outside speakers on a Arctic Fox 811
You don't have to do anything outside. Pull the radio inside the camper, find the wires for all the speakers connected to the back of the radio and correct the wiring. Your radio is wired with the pair of speakers that responds to the fader wired backwards. the two outside speakers should be wired to rear output, right and left, and your two inside speakers should be wired front output, right and left. Someone crossed a set of wires when installing the stereo. There should be a wiring diagram with the Kenwood manual that will at least show you Kenwood's color code for wiring. no guarantee that the camper manufacturer followed those colors though, but it should be easy with a meter to tell which wires are which. This is a 20-25 minute job tops for someone who is familiar with car stereos.698Views0likes0CommentsRe: Camper to Cab intercom
Intercom option: In the event that we need communication between camper and cab, a pair of FRS hand-held radios ("walkie-talkies") work spectacularly, and have all their other uses as well. No dependence on cell service and lots of other uses (hiking, separate shopping, etc) Battery life on standby mode lasts for many hours. Also useful if caravanning with other vehicles to keep in touch. The better ones, set to the long range channels, have ranges up to nearly a mile.509Views0likes0CommentsRe: Rieco Titan swingout jack-need a picture
I have a pair of Reico-Titan EZ-Swing brackets in like-new condition I can sell at a bargain price, all stainless fasteners included. They were take-offs from my new camper a couple years ago, no longer needed. jwellsgnr@gmail.com if you're interested.531Views0likes0CommentsStainless wheel simulators with Rickson wheels?
I've got 19.5" x 6.75" Rickson Wheels on my Chevy 3500 Dually. I've been waiting for 3 years for Rickson to produce their advertises stainless trim rings. Little hope I'll ever see them. Do any of the readily available stainless wheel simulators (Pacific Dually, Eagle Flight, etc) work with these wheels? (Personal experience only, please) Also, suggestions on quality and ease of application of various brands.640Views0likes1CommentRequested Recipe from Gettysburg Jamboree
