Thanks for the replies! I just wanted to come back and update that I have resolved a couple of the issues: I contacted Shurflo tech support and the pump cycling was caused by a bypass pressure setting being too high. This can be adjusted by one of the screws on the side. The oven was fixed...

I know this is the remodel section, I figured this might be the best area since I am considering making some changes while also resolving these nagging issues. I'm a plumber so I guess a my first approach is to work on the plumbing. 1. When the water pump is turned on, it will cycle every...

Ok.  I just got back home and looks like the problem is resolved. Thank you all for the helpful recommendations! Checked batteries with shore power at 13.54v Removed shore power and read 13.11v The furnace worked this time when not connected to shore power.  Not sure if there was an...

I just replaced the two coach batteries with two deep cycles from Costco.  I plugged into shore power for several days after that to make sure they are fully charged.  The display panel also shows full charge with shore power disconnected

I wanted to test out the furnace yesterday to make sure it is ready for camping in the local mountains.  I have only owned the RV for about 1mo so I am still learning how everything works.  My assumption was that, like the fridge, the furnace will run off of 12v and propane.  However, when...

Alright, so I ended up placing an order for 16x new 280Ah LifePo4 cells.  Going to involve a little DIY but I think the capacity (13.44Kwh) will be worth the trouble!

This is the one I was looking at because it comes with BMS:  https://www.ebay.com/itm/Nissan-Leaf-48v-Battery-G1-Lithium-Ion-7-kWh-132-ah-2-x-BMS-60A-Lot-of-14/124114860556 I am also considering a setup with used BMW EV batteries which the seller shows the discharge graphs and claims 800-900wh...

I am in the researching phase of my RV solar & lithium battery bank build.  I just discovered that there are some great deals on used electric car battery banks.  I found a kit on ebay that is 48v 7kWh for about $1000!  I'm considering 960w of solar panels on the roof of my 32' FR3. Has anybody...

I am in the process of transferring the extended warranty plan from the prior owner.  It is $0 deductible, so I might see if I can go that route.  Not sure if they will do a free diagnostic though. I would be surprised if something failed, being that it has fewer than 5k miles.  Although, I...

Thanks guys!  I guess that's the logical solution.  I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything important that would prevent that. First trip with the family will be this Thursday, going to be staying at Lake Mead campground for a few nights!

Proud new owners of a lightly used 2017 FR3 32DS.  We completed our first trip driving it home 275mi from the prior owner's town in Phoenix.  I figured I would try and pick the brain of the willing experienced and knowledgeable members of this forum: Problem: Inside of RV is not comfortably...

Well the inspection came back great. We flew out to Phoenix, viewed it in person and it shows like-new. So.... we went for it! Camped there Friday night and drove it back Yesterday.  Pretty smooth drive!

Interesting thoughts........................................................................... Thank you

Thanks for all the the feedback.  Some good points to consider.  I did pay extra for a "Fair market value assessment" that I hope to use for negotiation assuming it almost certainly comes in below asking.  Given the market, and the extended warranty that's included, I will probably expect to...

Hey everybody, I am glad to have found such a helpful forum.  We are excited to join the RV world and explore our beautiful country.  I have been doing a lot of research and believe that I have found an RV that is great for our family and a good price.  Although it will be our first RV purchase...
