If so does the 12v jump to the other side when you turn the switch on? Are you able to get a picture of the back of the panel? yes i removed the panel and ill take a photo as soon as i get home , thanks for your reply. i do have a multimeter but i need to get a better understanding of what i need to do , once i share the photo hopefully that will help you guide me , thank you406Views0likes0CommentsNeed some help troublshooting this issue
Hope all is well everyone , long time. in the span of a week , i had 3 seperate issues requiring repar in my truck camper , two are minor and easily fixable , but im having trouble with this in this photo , you will see the main control panel in my RV , i use this to turn on my water pump , it also has a display to show the state of the blank and grey tanks and it also shows the battery voltage Issue one: - the display no longer displays anything , its just dark grey and wont show any picture - the water pump will not turn on I can turn on the porch light and the entry light , so those two lights do still have power and i can turn them on fully from the display , but the water pump will not turn on , and the display button itself will not show anything I am without water not for weeks because of this and ive been too busy to rectify this but its starting to become a big problem now. Pls tell me your thoughts? I think the pump might be bad because it froze up last month and i heart it kind of struggling to work, not sure if the pump and the display issue are related1.8KViews0likes6CommentsRe: What did you do to your Camper Today?

I bought this little soundbar to help with the sound , i connect mine to my firestick through bluetooth and the sound is great for the cost and the size https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DL4J6NZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 it does need 110v power but thats not a problem for me , it only pulls like 1 amp528Views0likes0CommentsRe: Renting My Truck Camper
Really interesting discussion and thanks for all the input. When i decided to move into my truck camper full time, i was paying over 2k a month for a one bedroom in queens, i was so sick and tired of overpaying for an apt i hated and didnt even own. its been about 8 months now, i was able to hit the reset button on my finances, regroup , and the process of downsizing/ minimizing taught me a lot about what i thought i needed to be happy, One area where i've struggled is dating, most women just arent into it and as much as i love saving all this money, i also would like to meet a long term partner So before i made this post, a couple weeks prior my mother had proposed to me that a family friend had an apartment opening up soon and was willing to rent it for $1000 a month , in a really nice area close to other members of my family So the question becomes, well if i do take this apartment, what can i do with my camper? maybe i can turn it into another source of income, maybe sell it? and thats what prompted the original post After paying $325 a month for this camper for the last 8 months , the prospect of going back to renting wasn't exactly appealing, but the deal was just too good to pass up. If i cant rent my RV without taking massive risk then im going to sell it824Views0likes0CommentsRe: Renting My Truck Camper

If the camper was on a vehicle, any number of things can go wrong, low limbs, giant potholes or humped railroad tracks taken at speed. Good luck with whatever decision you make. thanks a lot, i think renting it while im in the city for work could work out really well, and then i can use it was my own personal escape when im off. its all falling into place. But finding the right piece of land is really difficult , especially when you're 3-4 hours away and the pictures are never really good494Views0likes0CommentsRe: Renting My Truck Camper
The more i think about it , the camper by itself without the truck , in a more private setting tucked away in the woods may actually be even more desirable to rent than at a campsite , and i would feel more comfortable renting the camper off the truck on my own land , so maybe my reservation is more about the truck than the camper itself.493Views0likes0CommentsRe: Renting My Truck Camper
Thanks a lot for all the feedback guys , very interesting replies. There is a lot to consider, but after sleeping on it a couple nights i think maybe renting a truck camper without actually wanting people to drive your truck is not really ideal for prospective renters. Maybe if i had a bare bones RV i didnt care about much and just looked at it as a business , but i do really like my camper and ive put a lot of work into the upgrades. I have shifted my focus now to buying some land and building an off grid cabin so i think i may sell the camper and the truck. Its been 6 months and deff an interesting ride , we'll see what happens493Views0likes0CommentsRe: Renting My Truck Camper

I have friends that have rented like this in OR and NV because they used their tow vehicle to bring off road toys and didn't have a truck camper. very cool , well there is some hope then. But im having a bit of an issue , all the good NYS parks that have campgrounds are closed for the season , most of them close from November-April , my plan was to use the state parks as the rental locations. There are some other county run campgrounds but i need to check if theyre open140Views0likes0Comments
