electrical
Hello! Thanks in advance for the help! I am in a vintage 1987 Mini Winnie Winnebago, Toyota chassis. My nephew basically rebuilt the house for me, doing many upgrades. My biggest issue right now is that he wasn't sure how everything should be tied together per se, electrically, and also has not been able to supply me with a complete flow chart of how he wired it. I am hoping someone can develop a detailed flow chart diagram for me to put to use in revising anything I need to. I have 8 solar panels on the roof, 130w each; An MPPT charge controller; a 2000W pure sine inverter; a tankless propane water heater; a Velit 12v rooftop a/c unit; 4 LifePo batteries, 150ah each; a 75 amp charger/converter; a transfer/switch box; air bags on the rear. I thoink that is everything that he changed from the original equipment... Thanks again for any assistance! Terry Beckley
Refrigerator
I have Dometic z fridge in my 2023 Thor. I talked to Good Sam Tech support. He had me remove the outside cover and feel the combustion chamber for heat. It was hot to the touch. He also had me feel the piping going from the chamber and they we outside temperature. He said the fridge lines are plugged and it can only be replaced because it’s a sealed unit. I passed this on to Camping World but they want to rig it to operate instead of replacing it. I have factory and extended coverage. It seems like every time they touch my camper something breaks in it.
House Battery Problems...
Our new-to-us 2001 Coachmen Leprechaun has an electrical issue that has me stumped. The house battery and converter that it came with where not producing adequate voltage and an RV tech that was working on something else told me to replace both and my problems should go away. I put in a Powermax PM3-55 and a couple good lead-acid batteries. Should have been good, right? While plugged in to shore power (sitting in our driveway) the coach voltage started to drop off and the new batteries were getting discharged. Testing with the batteries disconnected, I get about 12.6 vdc coming out of the converter, while lights, fan and fridge are running. When hooked to the coach load, house voltage drops down to about 11.6 vdc. I traced it back to the fuse panel under the bed hoping to isolate/identify (maybe) a ghost load or high resistance short to ground. Nope. A good 12.6 vdc feed is going to the fuse panel, but when I connect it to the fuse panel, it drops to1 11.6 vdc. Pulling out one fuse at a time, I expected to see which circuit is pulling it down. Again, nope. It stayed low throughout that exercise. So....I'm stumped. Is my brand-new converter bad? And can anyone tell me how a battery is supposed to charge while it is wired in parallel to the system load? Should I change the setting on the converter to a constant voltage instead of the fancy 3-stage charging? Any help would be much appreciated.

Mushy Floor
So I have a 2016 Jayco and under the large slide out, the flooring has become soft under the linoleum flooring at one end of the slide. Does anyone have any background in how to repair this? Who to take it to that is not going to kill my bank? I just don’t want it to get any worse than it is.
