what size fuses?
Hi guys, hoping the experienced gurus here might take a moment to give a newb a little time and expertise. just got used 2000 phoenix pop-up a few weeks ago (my 1st rv and 1st experience with DC) i do HVAC repairs for living so OK with AC. there is no info with the camper that tells me what size fuses it should have. not sure if the right sizes are in there now. problem i'm having is with the dometic Model RM2354 3 way, single door fridge. works great with 120 VAC and propane but if turned to 12v it blows a 5 amp fuse in the little breaker/fuse panel inside the camper (not outside). the furnace quits working also when that 5 amp fuse blows. lights are ok i downloaded the manual and it lists a 3 amp control system fuse and 5 amp AC heater fuse in the power module. the 12 VDC heater is listed as 30 amp (in line blade fuse). VDC is all new to me, but it seems like a 5 amp is a little low. do i need to take to the local RV dealer and have them figure out what size fuses are supposed to be in the 5 fuse slots or is there an easy way to check amp draw (like i would with my amprobe on VAC. thanks for your consideration.

hi all, hope you don't mind some dumb questions. just got my first camper, 2000 Phoenix Camper, pop up style, that i am going to mount on my 2013 F150. so the camper is shorter than the sides of the truck bed by about 3 inches. i want to build up the bed to meet the bottom of the camper with something like this style: http://www.rv.net/forum/Index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/16957495.cfm so do you think the camper should rest on the top of the sides of the bed also or is it not that important? do you think i should add some foam to the top of the bed sides? thanks for your advice, Bob848Views0likes4Comments
