Re: generator tray
Thanks for reply. I was thinking about using a piece of wood for it to sit on and then size doesn't matter that much. Just as long as it sits on it. True it doesn't weigh much . Mine only weighs 96 lbs. so its easy to maneuver. Just have to figure a way to mount slides on sides of compartment. Ill take some pictures and post them next week . Thanks again Earl Dagenhart451Views0likes0CommentsRe: generator tray
I am going to pull the generator out of its compartment to operate it and be outside the RV all the time. All exhaust will be outside the RV . According to WENN the generator emits 68 Db.FYI I am NOT a RV camper. I dont camp at all . I am not planning on camping anywhere in the USA. The RV is used as a traveling bedroom for my wife and myself. We have several dogs and motels wont let us keep them in our room. Boarding them is too expensive so taking them along is what we will do. I am not against camping but I dont get any enjoyment out of pulling in to a campground with 100s of other campers some within arms length away hearing everything I say. I pull my car and we go to eat at a restaurant. Shower in the RV . No cooking . Probably wont even use the Microwave. The generator compartment is insulated very well . I have used the generator in the compartment and didnt find any excess heat or any Carbon Monoxide levels high enough to sound the alarm. The exhaust currently comes out from under the RV and an extension pipe runs up the RV to the top and gases leave the area there. Im not too worried about that . Noise will be reduced as well. Spending the night in it on the road will be at a WalMart or Lowes or some parking lot like that.Just want to be able to slide the generator out of its compartment . Thats all.452Views0likes0Commentsgenerator tray
I have a 94 class c that the original generator was replaced by an off the shelf model. It was not working properly so I bought a WENN 4750 watt generator Dimensions are 26x17x17 . After the original one was dumped the owner built a tray that reaches 3" below the bottom of camper . Its just a steel tray recessed 3" that's mounted on side rails on both sides. It was bolted in so it wouldn't slide out . I need a sliding tray that will allow me to pull generator out and be able to fill it up with gas and let it stay out while running. Generator weighs 106 lbs. So I need one to support that weight. Does anyone know where I might be able to find one at a reasonable cost ? I have been looking and it seems as soon as you enter RV the price goes up 10 fold like my Mercedes does. The tray in it now is getting rusty and I would like to replace it. Anyone with pics/ plans I would like to see what you built if possible. My tray looks like this I_x_I . Generator fits where x is. the "I"s are side of tray upper Part that slides on lip on side of compartment . I appreciate any help you may have in terms of location of a slide or plans to build one. you may email me at unccgrad@live.com to send pics or plans Thanks for any and all help1.8KViews0likes11Commentswiring question
Just joined this site . Glad I found it . Been looking for a site to join for a while. Just bought a 1994 Travelmaster Montego Class C Motorhome 28'for my retired years. I am installing a backup camera and I am mounting it on the middle running light. I was just going to cut the wires and hook it up but I hit a snag. When I took the light off the wiring to the socket had wires spliced on it . I need to know which wire is the hotwire as both wires are black. Wires spliced in are white. I cant get the wires pulled out due to they are connected with squeeze connector. Don't want to make hole bigger but it looks like the hole was bent a bit to enlarge it to get the clamps thru the opening . I just don't have enough wire to pull thru right now. I do think I have enough to cut and splice the camera wires in just don't have any way to know for sure which wire is the hot one. Any input appreciated Thanks Earl1.3KViews0likes6Comments
