Need wire schematic for 2011 Crossroads Slingshot 23'
I'm trying to pinpoint the wiring to a utility light on my Slingshot. It's the utility light on the front left outer corner - typically used in hooking/unhooking at night. We purchased the trailer used and it hasn't worked since the day we got it. Anyone have a copy of some sort of schematic to help me trace the wires? None of the fuses are blown, the light inside the underfloor storage (which is located adjacent to the utility light but only inside the storage) works, and I tested the bulb socket with my meter and had nothing show up. Thanks - Chris.1KViews0likes4CommentsScreen door is lacking
We borrowed a friend's camper that had an ingenious screen door mechanism. When it was closed and latched, you only had to slide down a handle formed within the plexiglas and it would press down on the latch to release it allowing you to open the door without having to open an access hole to hit the latch. Our current camper doesn't gave this feature. Instead you have to slide a window back each time to reach in and release the latch when you want to exit the camper. Is there a way to replace the sliding portion of our door with a system similar to my friend's door?3.2KViews0likes7CommentsRe: Refrigerator won't cool down
I was the OP. We had enough food to feed my wife and I for 2 days. I.e. pack of dogs, dozen eggs, two large gatorades, and a bag of sliced apples. This was just a case of a blown fuse that kept the charger from keeping our 12v system peaked when plugged in to the shoreline. :)377Views0likes0CommentsRe: Refrigerator won't cool down
Okay - I'll try to hit most of the replies. The trailer was/level so that wasn't the culprit. Propane was turned of intentionally - I only mentioned that fact as I didn't know if maybe the pilot light needed to be lit in order for it to correctly transition cooling control from gas to electric. I'm in Delaware. It's typically stupid humid here but the past week has been surprisingly dry. But finally: it was an electrical problem. I got home late last night, fridge was still only slightly cool, and had to hook up and head out anyways and just faced the fact we would be stocking the cooler with ice. About two hours into the night at the campsite I noticed the porch light was "dim". I started checking everything again and finally learned the charger wasn't working. Checked across the lugs at the panel with my meter (battery disconnected) and then found another 40a fuse that is somewhat hidden - blown! Swapped it from my spares, hooked the battery back up, plugged back in to the 30a shoreline, and boom we were in business. This morning the freezer is 12° and the fridge is 35° - thanks everyone. I will be looking in to why it blew in the first place. We just purchased it used (2011 model year) from a private party so maybe they crossed leads at some point?377Views0likes0CommentsRe: Refrigerator won't cool down
Wow, thanks for all the fast replies - this forum is awesome! I am at work now and hope it will keep cooling down throughout the day. I guess I may have been expecting it to cool faster but it's good to know that it may take longer than my house fridge. I do have the thermistor up about 75-80% of the way up that last fin and will adjust accordingly once things cool down. Thanks again for all the fast replies and I'll post up once I have a chance to check the temps again.377Views0likes0CommentsRefrigerator won't cool down
We bought this travel trailer about a month ago, this weekend was to be our first trip trying it out. It's a Crossroads Slingshot 23CK and has a refrigerator with a separate freezer door. It was working great up until last week. I had unplugged from the house and then plugged it in last night and now it doesn't work. The battery had been a little bit low so I disconnected everything and hooked up my regular automotive battery charger to the deep cycle until it was charged using the two amp setting. Here's where I'm at: The battery is fully charged up, connected, and the camper is plugged in to our power in the garage. All the lights and the power and the air conditioning in the camper work great, except the refrigerator will not seem to cool down. The light inside turns on when you open the door, and I think I have the switches on top of the refrigerator in the correct positions. First button is pushed in so the refrigerator is turned On and the second button's pushed in so that the refrigerator is in Auto - not gas. The camper is perfectly level, I have two full bottles of propane, and they are connected but both valve turned off. Am I missing something???3.8KViews0likes16Comments
