Re: Update to Cable question post
I don't know if this will be of use, but I'll throw it out there as I don't know how you did your modification. This is how I rewired our trailer. My understanding is that by adding the small jumper in one of the last diagrams, you will have satellite in both locations (just as you did with cable as the signal goes around the amplifier). You will have to watch the same thing on both tvs though. Hope this might be of help. Satellite wiring235Views0likes0CommentsRe: Arctic Fox 27T solar ready, what does this mean exactly?
On our Nash, also made by Northwood, solar ready meant that there were wires that ran from the roof to a panel above the stereo. From there, another set ran to the batteries. All we had to do was put in a charge controller and slap on a solar panel.320Views0likes0CommentsRe: Do the trailer outlets run off the batteries?
My Respironics machine draws 2.5 amps without the humidifier and 4 amps with the humidifier on. It draws my two 6 volt batteries down a to 60/70% overnight depending on how long I sleep. I like to sleep!! I tried using a cheap inverter (before reading all the warnings about doing so) and the noisy fan on the inverter kept waking me up. I bought the cigarette plug adapter ($75 I think) and put in a plug for it right beside the bed. I ran a new set of wires to the plug straight from the fuse panel. I had to do a bit of fishing to get the wire to where I needed it. I also have a battery box with a cigarette plug on it that I can use in an emergency at home. Works just fine for a night or two.441Views0likes0CommentsRe: Hwy 16 is closed east of Topley and Burns Lake

joe b. wrote: That fire closure is going to disrupt some travel, in that part of BC. However, the detour they are showing should be very scenic, as it appears to run along the north side of Fraser Lake for many KMs/miles. Any campgrounds in that area that can be recommended by anyone. One of my favorite CGs is in Houston, the Shady Rest, reasonable in cost, squeaky clean, great flower beds from their green house on site and well managed. The Fraser Lake area is not involved. They have a free campsite at the lake for a few units though.156Views0likes0CommentsRe: Running engine when stopped
Around our province, we have all sorts of "No idling" rules. If you're running out of juice, maybe another battery is needed. You should be able to run overnight on a single battery. Have you changed your bulbs to LEDs? That makes a big difference.227Views0likes0Comments- 164Views0likes0Comments
