Re: JC refrigeration AC or DC upgrade?
I’m converting because my domestic rm2562 started spewing ammonia. Yuck. I would have gone residential route but I literally only have 55” of height. So I opted to pull the cooling unit on the domestic. It’s out and in the dumpster minus the control boards and fins. So in will go the dc compressor. Sounds like even if the fridge runs batter down even in a couple hours, that would help cool on a long travel day say 8-9 hours until I get to shore power. Boondocking is not in our future until our kids are gone and it’s just two of us. Thanks for the info. 12vdc is what I’ll buy!444Views0likes0CommentsJC refrigeration AC or DC upgrade?
Just wondering if any of you could tell me whether I should buy the AC or DC conversion for my dometic rm2652. We are on shore power almost always except for traveling. Would the truck charge battery enough to keep the 12VDC unit cooling while on the road? If so, I'll go the 12V route. Thanks, Scott8.7KViews0likes35CommentsRe: Key West or Out West

We are 1000 miles from the east coast, northern Florida, New Orleans, Denver, the Big Horn Mtns. I can be at any of those places within 2 moderate days of driving. Being on either coast means much more driving. BUT, you are a frozen cheese head all winter ! :B Sorry, could not resist ! All kidding aside, that would be awesome to be within 1ooo miles of everything Man would it!596Views0likes0CommentsRe: Key West or Out West

We've done the keys twice, and spent a week there. Both trips we spent one afternoon and evening in Key West. We like the water and to fish, so we snorkled from the beach and kayaks, and did a trip on a boat out to the reefs. We also fished from out kayaks and the beach, and also did a half day shark fishing trip that was a blast. Also central FL has some great springs to paddle and explore. We are in GA, and have not gone west, but would really like to, but with limited time, I cant justify the drive/enjoy ratio :) That's part of my struggle too. We'll be in transit much more than exploring the area that we intent to arrive at. And about 3 weeks is as long we could afford to be gone. We have grown in our camping experiences and our family situation to handle longer periods of time away from home but none of us are really excited about riding in the truck for 4 days to get there. That's why the outer banks are looking better for us because we can stay a week and a half very easily and it is at least a place we've never been as a family.468Views0likes0CommentsKey West or Out West
Well, I have been on here before dreaming about a trip out west. I got VERY good feedback. Didn't imagine I'd be trying to do it right now with COVID restrictions but here we are. We are a family of 5. Kids are 15, 13, and 10 and we are ready for an adventure before our oldest is gone. We have the time and money to actually take a trip out in our 5th wheel to either key west or out west. I prefer out west but a lot of things are closed due to covid so I'm apprehensive about going. I also HATE to book something a year out. I'd love to book it right now and be able to go mid may time frame. Any suggestions on where I should look right now?9.7KViews0likes44Comments
