I'm just curious how many of us RVers use protection when hooking up at a campground or RV park. I'm new to this so am still considering my options, but it seems like a good idea to protect yourself.

Lou, thanks for the GREAT explanation.  I'll probably leave them in place unless I notice a leak.

Can anyone tell me about these two antennas?  The first pic is of an antenna I'm not sure what it goes to. Dash radio?  Radio receiver in rv entertainment center?  The second one is for satellite radio receiver.  No problem. But what is the metal plate under it?  It is rusting and may be a...

TC Tom, I thought about doing that, but a 2x4 is 1.5" thick. The Luan,xps,Luan will be 1.25". Not a huge difference but enough the it may cause future delamination. 

Gregg, I have no experience with this kind of work. But I look forward to learning on the fly.  I understand what you mean about the spacing between the aluminum and the filon. I plan on digging out as much of the old Luan as possible. Unfortunately I believe I'll only be able to get about half...

Thanks again, guys.  The Luan is almost completely removed (other than what is behind the aluminum). What you see in the pics is a paper thin layer of luan that is adhesed to the filon.  It is so stuck on and so thin that I am going to leave it. I can not get all the crumbling Luan behind the...

thanks so much for the advice!  This is really helping me wrap my head around what has to be done and hopefully I can plan it out ahead of time. Greg, you are correct the luan between the aluminum frame and filon is also damaged.  I am going to get out as much as I can then fill in the space...

One more

This thread is great and just what I need. I just bought an 04 Jayco Granite Ridge 3100ss. I knew it had a little de lamination on the drivers side by the cabover bunk. Upon further inspection it is worse than I thought. I have torn out the whole wall in the bunk including the styrofoam. With...

I just got an 05 Jayco Granite Ridge on Ford e450 chassis. There is a lighter and a 12 volt outlet on the dash.  The 12 volt works but the lighter plug does not.  I've checked all the fuses under the dash and hood. Everything seems fine. Some of the fuses holders are empty, but if I try to put...

Yes. I'll check that first. If so I'll wire oin a 12 v reptacle and just plug in the adapter hidden in the wall

I bought two of these (see pic) for $8 at Walmart. I plan  on cutting the cord and splicing in to 12 volt power for some lights then mount the USB port in a discrete location with the provided double sided tape.

Thanks. I'll take it in and get the battery tested.

I agree. It doesn't make sense to go 12v to 110 v to 5v. But, Id like a cleaner solution than running cables from the cigarette lighter to the  house in back. Gotta figure a way to get a 12v receptacle in back.

Ahh gotcha. So what do most of you do to charge electronics and phones while driving?  I don't need all the outlets working. Just one or two. I suppose I could just wire up a couple cigarette outlets in the back for the kids to charge that way. Could probably even tie in to the engine battery...
