Re: Considering 100 watt folding Solar Panel
I mounted two 100 watt Renogy solar panels no screws required. I used combination of Sticky Feet mounting brackets and home made brackets. All held down with 3M VHB tape. The gelcoat will fail before this tape fails. Covered brackets with Dicor self leveling sealant. They have held tight for 25,000 miles . And nobody can walk off with them.406Views0likes0CommentsRe: Happijack Intermittant Problem

I added 12 volt circuits to my NorthernLite 8-11 QueenClassic i Wasn't able to get wires to bed area , but i installed Blue Sea Systems 12 Volt Dash Socket and Blue Sea Systems Dual USB Charger Socket in front of cabinet face to left of sink. Next to hot water tank switch. If you remove dinette plywood seat top from from over electrical panel. you will gain access to back of fuse panel . There are many unused 12 circuit wires coiled up back there. find out which wire and empty fuse plug go together. Splice onto wire for positive connection. For ground wire Cut existing ground wire and spliced in Blue Sea Systems Common 100A 5-Gang Mini BusBar to connect new ground connections. The wires can be snaked under silverware draw and up face of cabinet to left of sink. I Used #10 wire to minimize current loss. Insert fuse and your powered up.432Views0likes0CommentsRe: where to buy new mattress

I have the same 5100 shocks as you ,originally purchased for my 2011 GMC 2500 hd. used them for 75,000 including a trip to with truck camper to Alaska. Those original shocks are now on my 2016 GMC 3500hd . Still working great.653Views0likes0Comments
