    Thank you.  I'll go stalk that forum

    GM cancels deal to build Nikola badger hydrogen electric truck

    I also am not surprised by this announcement.  Partially because of the scandals circulating about the leadership and nepotism within Nikola.  But also because of the physics of the application.  Nikola and competitors have a better shot at success in the heavy truck, over-the-road tractors. ...

    Electric Slideout Failure

    @TinMania and Rene T:  yes, the manual override worked.  After I had moved the large slide out a little way and continued troubleshooting, both slides started working correctly.  I never found a controller, safety switches, or anything that would indicate the cause of the malfunction.  Been back...

    Can't get propane to work

    Newer propane tanks have an excess flow device that can be finicky.  Try closing the valve on the tank, turn off all propane appliances, open the valve on the tank slowly, and then activate the propane appliances.

    Electric Slideout Failure

    Update:  in case we had forgotten, Keystone Customer Service is poor!  Box with inline fuses was a goose chase.  The box is just the terminal block connecting hitch harness to the chassis harness;  No fuses. Still no direction given what to check next.  I even went so far to offer to go through...

    Electric Slideout Failure

    Finally convinced Keystone that taking it to a dealership was my last resort.  They gave me a location of some inline fuses ( tongue A frame below LP tank cover) to check when I get off work this evening

    Electric Slideout Failure

    This is a cable driven system, NorCo, BAL, Accu-Slide.  Separate rocker switches and separate motors.  Wires are not easily traced; after the battery the wires go into the sealed underbelly.  From the control panel, the wires go up into the ceiling.  I agree that it seems like a safety switch...

    Electric Slideout Failure

    We returned home last night and began unloading.  Neither slide would attempt to work.  Did not feel like continuing during a cold windstorm so left it for this afternoon.  No DC fuse is blown that I can find.  12v battery is new, good, and charged.  Autoreset circuit breakers for battery power...

    Electric Pickup Trucks

    Is anyone else following the developments in battery-powered trucks?  (BEV) I'd like to see your comparison of the leading brands; Rivian, Lordstown, Ford... My initial thought is that Rivian had the jump on Lordstown, especially with the funding from Ford and Amazon.  But it sort of seems like...

    Battery Power Flashes On/Off

    Thanks, Grashley.  You are correct. It was the automatic circuit breakers mounted on the trailer tongue.  Both were bad.  Diagnosing was difficult because I had other problems that had to be sorted.  All seems well tonight.

    Voltage loss between battery and distribution panel

    It was the automatic circuit breakers mounted on the trailer tongue.  Both were bad.  Diagnosing was difficult because I had other problems that had to be sorted.  All seems well tonight.  Thanks for the suggestions.

    Voltage loss between battery and distribution panel

    I have a tongue-mounted, brand new AGM battery.  A brand new disconnect switch.  Function of converter and battery charger is good.  Checked according to the WF manual. But, when I disconnect shore power, I do not have power to operate more than one light.  If more than one light is tried all...

    Battery Power Flashes On/Off

    Yes there is a click but it is louder inside the trailer. There is no battery compartment; I have a tongue-mounted battery box.  I traced the cables from the batteries and they have terminal blocks on the left hand side frame rail but no resettable breakers.  The wires are in a bundle the goes...

    Battery Power Flashes On/Off

    I wasn't getting any power to my lights when unplugged from shore power.  I checked the power center and all seemed ok; same with the battery at 12.45vdc.  Slides and tongue jack worked fine.  Led me to check the battery disconnect switch which looked like it was On.  But I cycled it anyway and...

    need some specifics to winterize my Laredo 29RK

    First time winterizing this particular trailer.  OM, videos from Keystone, YouTube, etc are too generic for me.  I have drained all water tanks, hoses, and water heater, and I do not have an ice maker or washing machine.  OK with the water heater bypass valve.  Added antifreeze to the p traps of...
