I was just about to do a conversion from 4 100ah AGMs to 4 100ah Li-ions so the timing of this post saved me from the same situation. I’ve never run the Onan more than a few minutes, so the 6ah solution will not be a problem for me. I think your solution would be a great idea to copy.Re: Solar Installused a quality stud finder to located aluminum frame members. Roof between frame members is foam sandwiched between two luan layersRe: Heki 2 SkylightApologize for the delay in getting back to this post. In 2018 I purchased 2 struts for my Heki 2 from SGS Engineering (UK) Ltd, 1 Westside Park, Belmore Way, Raynesway, Derby. They were very pleasant to work with and shipped direct to my home in Kansas. The cost for two including shippiing was 48.43 pound sterling which at the time equated to $64.02 US. ($1.92 Citicard transaction fee). I just checked their website and they still have them, part number NL 5030 which you can find under Gas Struts/Gas Strut Application/Roof Light for 20.39 pound sterling. Hope this helps someone in the future looking for parts. I forgot that this company only sells replacement struts, so sorry no help for the other many breakable parts.Re: Heki 2 Skylighti purchased new pistions from a UK supplier at a very resonable cost. i am currently in isolation aftwr a stem cell transplant so it might be next week before I have access to my records but I'l be happy to pass along the info as soon as I can.Re: Find cross pieces under metal roof to mount solar panel?i used a zircon hd900 to find the square tubes under my roof. i borrowed a wallabot and it did not work.Re: What the ??versatility, truck can be used during the 85% of the time campers never leave home. ? in my mind is how average worker can afford a new f350.Re: Dometic Compressor Fridge IssueI don’t know the specifics of this model but it sounds like you have two expansion valves and the one for the frig section is kaput.Re: Registration RantEXACT SAME 01 FORD EXCEPT MINE IS AUTOMATIC, TOTAL REGISTRATION IN KANSAS FOR 2020 WAS. $88.25. of which $35.46 was property tax and $40 registrationRe: "Porpoising" - How to Tame the Rocking CamperWhen I first bought my Host Everest in 2012, and put it on an ‘01 F350 dually with Michelin 19.5s, I had air bags, Rancho 9000s, and upper stable loads; and it did porpoise. When I added the lower stable loads with all three wedges engaged, it became almost non-existant, just when we hid a dip in the road or big bump. Unfortunately it now rides like a tank. I had the opportunity to ride recently in a friends new RAM 3500 hauling a Host Cascade and that was like riding in a Cadillac.
