Re: Ready to purchase 2024 chevy Equinox Primer for Flat towing
I concur, before you buy, make sure you read the owners manual. We tow a 2020 Equinox, Premier 2.0 AWD. I think the AWD was the only model to flat tow. We have Blue Ox baseplate and towbar. We required the diode lighting kit because we have LED lights. We have a diesel pusher and had the Air Force 1 braking system installed. Our Equinox has electric power steering and requires a robust charging line from the coach to keep the battery charged. Have not experienced the death wobble in 10K miles of towing.2.4KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Wifi a long way away from RV site.
I have the system in this thread David Bott Tutorial I haven't used it for the past several years because we have had good coverage on our Visible and Verizon phones. But it did work well when I used it. I mounted it on a PVC pole I bungeed to the ladder on the back of the coach. I could point it toward the access point, the ethernet cable ran inside to the wifi and power supply. Mine was only for 2ghz, but I think the new models are also 5ghz.1.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: First Post, Out of Frustration over Dometic AC
I am not familiar with Dometic units, I have 2 Coleman units on my coach, controlled by a single tstat. If your tstat controls the unit thru a data wire vs the normal 12v Y1 wire, then interference could be the cause. I had pursued my issues for almost two months before I tracked the culprit to an ac to dc 12v wall transformer. Once I replaced the transformer units have been trouble free. I would start by turning off all your 120v breakers except for the main and the a/c unit. See if the unit will run normally. If it does, then I would begin turning on the other breakers one at a time, monitoring the unit. My issue was found when I turned on one of the general receptacle breakers on the inverter sub panel, which happened to control all my entertainment systems in the coach. The transformer powered my HDMI to CAT5 conversion module and was hard to locate. This may or may not be a solution for your system, but I would find the schematics for your tstat to see if it controls the unit thru a data wire.108Views0likes0CommentsRe: Dead...
Our 2012 coach came with 6 12V AGM house batteries and 2 12V AGM chassis batteries. We replaced the house batteries in 2020 with Duracell AGMs from Sams club. The chassis batteries were replaced with Duracell AGMs in 2021. I never inspected the batteries until I replaced them. We have a Magnum inverter/charger which maintains them nicely. We have fulltimed since we bought the coach.386Views0likes0CommentsRe: Truly unlimited and temporary Hot Spot
The Visible plans are all inclusive for the price. I have one I use just for internet. I used it via its hotspot for about a year, now have it tethered to a router and I get faster speeds. There is a thread in the tech section on irv2 dot com on unlimited internet for $25/month. All the Visible info you need.924Views0likes0CommentsRe: First Trip through Canada & into Alaska - Many Questions!
We had a great trip in 2014, including Top Of The World Highway. Canada was really good about putting out the cones on frost heaves, Alaska not so much. We found that keeping an eye out for tire skid marks was a good indication to slow down. Mike and Terri Church Alaska book was a great asset, along with the Milepost.2KViews0likes0Comments
