Overnite stop on the 101 olympic peninsula
Looking for an overnite stop on the north end of the 101 on the olympic peninsula. Between Port Angeles and Olympia. Preferably closer to port Angeles. There is the walmart near port angeles, but last time we were there, there was too many drug deals going down. No rest areas. Camping is very pricey - we are on a budget. Cant find a truck stop. Any other ideas?1.2KViews0likes6CommentsMAXXFAN - auto opening - keeps cycling
Hi have a MAXXFAN fan with the rain sensor, temp sensor and electric opening. From a 2014 Kodiak TT. I would love to give you the model number, but cant find it anywhere and there is no manual. Anyways, when the electric vent opens, at the top of the opening, it clunks about 5-10 times before it stays open. I have no idea if this is normal or it may be damaging the mechanism. Here is a youtube video: https://youtu.be/nuhkon9Sr9Y Any ideas or suggestions?218Views0likes0CommentsRe: 1997 Kodiak 22+2 Fiver - power control panel
Thanks for the help guys. First problem was corroded contacts on the transfer relay. However, a couple of the 12V circuits are connected through the circuit board. It seems that this thing works intermittently, even after fixing all connections. I think I will just end my grief and get the PD9245 converter. thanks again.147Views0likes0Comments1997 Kodiak 22+2 Fiver - power control panel
I have a 1997 Kodiak 22+2 Five. The power control panel is all combined 120V breakers, 6V fuses AGC type, and transformer charger. I have owned it for 5 years, and has always been a pain and literally requires a kick to make the connections work. So now is the time to fix the darn thing. The unit is made by "System Monitors Inc" in Winnipeg Canada - no longer in operation. I tore into it, and there are two suspect parts. A relay and a small electronic board with a LM339N comparator, a "short stop", and a small external coil of wire (perhaps a low ohm, high wattage resistor). I called the local RV shop and they said to replace all the guts with a multi-stage power converter. However, I just dont have the $360CAD to replace it. We figure a 45amp unit should do it. Is there a cheaper option out there? thanks for the help.562Views0likes3Comments
