Turn the heat to 65 and done. Minimal condensation on side windows and zero on roof vents. The flow of air out of the roof vents prevents moisture from forming as water droplets on cold surfaces. As soon as air flow is restricted u will have condensation and it will accumulate on cold surfaces.......typically where we breath the most hot air.....at night in the bed!Re: Big Problem with Lance 1161 Slide (new thread)Doesn’t look good.im not sure what the factory will do. Need a whole ne wall.Re: Onan GeneratorKayteg I’d be the first inline to replace mine with what I described. I’m guess I’m not the only guyRe: Onan Generator Hemi Joel wrote: What this market needs is a small, light, dual fuel, remote start, built in, inverter generator with variable rpm/automatic idle. I’ve said this many times.........if onan would develop an rv built in propane fired gen with idle down inverter technology everyone who owns a current model would probably upgrade....... Millions of additional dollars to be made there.Re: Poor man's build-in generator for long box AF865/811(?)You bet Kayteg1. That too!!!Re: Poor man's build-in generator for long box AF865/811(?)Ok.I guess here is the real question. After modifying the compartment so the genset will fit in there why not just pull it out start it and plug it in. As you said in your post “its just for back up in case the solar dont work out”. I look at your pictures and all I ask myself is why? You still need to go out and start it, you still need to pull it out to fuel it, you still need to pull it out to service it, you still need to get out open the door and run an additional fan in front of the door. What is the gain here? The benefits of a built in genset are. Uses same fuel as the coach (propane for a camper). No need to carry additional gas You start it remotely inside It’s tied to a transfer switch so you can back feed the outside shore power connection Your installation has none of these benefits. Yes there are some big negatives to an onboard genset that campers use but none of those are safety negatives. They are approved,vented,and exhausted to prevent any potentials for loss of life. Just some food for thought.Re: Poor man's build-in generator for long box AF865/811(?)Did u install a fire extinguisher close by also.......you may need itRe: Looking at new entry level modelsOf the campers you listed i would go with the wolf creek. My brother has one on his short box truck. He opens the tail gate and toads it on. He has 3500 chev SRW with airbags. He says that he hardly feels it thereRe: Electric 120 volt heaterWow......what a great response! Thanks you so much for all that took the time to post. I am leaning toward the boat heater that has been posted above a couple timesElectric 120 volt heaterI did a search and couldn’t find what I am looking for so here is my question. For those who frequent RV parks with full hook up and camp in the fall with above freezing temps but still cool enough to run some heat at night, do you use the furnace or an electric heater? If the answer is an electric heater please enlighten me on what heater ( make and model) and why your chose that one? I have an Arctic fox 990 and wonder where I would put that heater so that its not in the way for everyday use? Dan
