I am considering replacing four GC2 batteries with two 100 Ah LiFePo batteries with 100 Amp BMS each. My concern is whether they will be able to operate the microwave for light duty use (5-6 minutes) without voltage sag causing problems. The draw for...
We used the trailer pretty well this year, 89 days including a 75 day trip to Alaska. This along with some recent posts by others gave me ideas and plenty of time to plan some new mods.RVcircus posted a video of installing a Smart Tile backsplash in ...
We just got home from a short camping trip to Moraine Park CG in the only open camping loop in all of Rocky Mountain NP (with about six other hardy souls mostly tent camping). Elevation is 8,200 ft. Yesterday it snowed on and off all day with some pe...
We are planning a side trip to the Arctic Circle while we are in Fairbanks this summer. This will be the end of June or early July. We would like to take the 5th wheel on the Elliott Hwy to the junction with the Dalton, then take a day trip to the Ar...

Well, I have to disagree with some of the opinions given here. I have two panels with a combined rating of 370 watts. Panels are 11 years old. On a recent trip to Wyoming this summer, I recorded 411 watts output. Of course I had some ideal conditions...
When I first got my trailer, many of the latches were installed as you describe, and one door came open on a trip. I then re-clocked all the latches so that gravity and vibrations would not work against the latch staying locked. There have been no pr...
I removed and replaced all the graphics on my 5th wheel in 2019. The surface was filon not aluminum. A heat gun on low will work, but I found that a hair dryer on low was better as the heat gun will easily heat the decals too much and cause them to s...
I've had mine for over ten years. Works great. I can add about 5 gallons to the fresh water tank after it reads 100% and there are probably 5 gallons left after it says empty. The readings jump in 6% increments.
