dometic awning
I have a 8300 dometic awning. I replaced the fabric, while doing so i accidentally let all the tension out of the left spring. so once done with the fabric this is what i did and its not working. re-tension right spring by turning counter clockwise roll awning up by hand insert right tension bracket into arm and bolt it tension left spring by turning clockwise insert left tension bracket into arm and bolt it now I pull down the awning with the strap and it rolls out smoothly but when i flip the switch to roll up there is no tension what so ever. The strange thing is if i disassemble the left side and pull the bolt out the spring violently unwinds..???Any ideas? I am lost on this one. any ideas would be great839Views0likes2Commentsflooring
Hello Everyone. Just wanted to get your opinions on flooring options for my pass through compartment on my toy hauler. I just finished repairing the water damaged floor in the compartment. It's almost completely flat plywood covered with killz primer. it's about 4 X 8 in size and I will have to cut around wires and pipes etc. I slide stuff in and out of that compartment often. I was considering some vinyl tiles? Opinions??1.5KViews0likes9CommentsRe: More solar questions
The charge controller has a cut in of 13 volts and a cut out at 14.2 volts. I expected it to be in between those numbers. Not the battery volts(I understand 12.7 is full) but during the charge I expected it to be between those numbers. and thanks again for all the responses.548Views0likes0CommentsRe: More solar questions
With no load on the rv and the batteries still connected I set clamp to DC amps and got .45. Batteries still at 12.1. I understand you say it can take days but I've done that and they are just not charging. I'm sure some of that is my lack of understanding but it just doesn't seem like the panel is any help. I do have a volt meter also.548Views0likes0CommentsMore solar questions
New to solar, trying to figure it out and have some questions. I have 2 brand new 6 volt golf cart batteries from sams club wired in series. I have a new 100 watt solar panel kit that came with the panel, wiring and charge controller. I'm not getting the correct voltage at the batteries. I've run a bunch of tests and suspect the charge controller is bad. So I plugged the panel directly to the batteries. open circuit test show I'm getting about 20 volts from the panel. Then hooked up to the batteries it shows 12.1 and holding for the past hour. It is all hooked up properly. Could the batteries be bad? I have a newer better charge controller on the way but now I don't know if that's the problem. I have a previous post named understanding solar that has a little more back ground info. Any help is appreciated. Thank you3.1KViews0likes35Comments
