Just curious, what do y'all that have been into rving a long time thing about the idea of converting a enclosed cargo trailer into a TT? Some things i have read people say you can insulate one better than the store bought TT.  I do like the idea of being able to basically custom build to what...

actually the one i bought is only a one hose unit. I didn't think about the 2 hose units. I did plug in both units, and it didn't blow a fuse so that is an option. I didnt want to have to run two a/c  on a 20 foot trailer, biut i guess on 90+ days I will have to.

So this is what i ordered on Amazon to run instead of the 8,000 btu window unit that came standard in my 2018 Aspen Trail 1800RB. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CS3J9SA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It is a 12,000 btu portable a/c unit. I plugged it in last night while it...

I am puling a TT, so I bought a backup camera off amazon. My TV already has a backup camera that displays thur my truck radio screen.  I use the truck back up camera to line up the hitch works very well. Once i am hooked up, i unplug the backup camera on my truck and plug in the wires from the...

All the bigger btu units i have found on the net are bigger in dimensions than the hole.  Unless your talking about the as seen on tv, Arctic Air thing that is just a small swamp cooler. David

they made the hole too small to put a bigger btu unit in, unless I cut the hole bigger. I would sell the TT and get something else before I will do that since it is brand new. David

Thanks for all the replies. In a way it is a "let the buyer beware". I figured if they sold it here it would be ample......my mistake. I have ordered a 12000 btu portable a/c. I am going to put the hot air vent out the window over the dinette, and plug the electric cord into the plug for the...

According to Dutchman if i install any after market parts, IE a larger a/c and it damages anything it voids my warranty. So I am stuck according to them with either voiding my warranty or living with an a/c that does not do the job.

yes a 2018 bought off the dealers lot as brand new. yes it is a window unit. David

So about 3 weeks ago I bought a Dutchman Aspen Trail 1800rb.  The A/C is only 8,000 btu window unit. So here is Texas with the temps running about 95 to 98 this weekend, during the day the A/C will only cool the trailer to 80 degrees until the sun goes down. Cooled it to 65 by in the morning...

I would not recommend them. I just bought  a n Aspen Trail 1800rb the a/c wont cool down the inside during the day , and they basically told me i am stuck with it. David

I am looking to replace my f150 with something newer and more dependable, as it has over 260k miles on it. I prefer a suv like a Tahoe because of the interior room over a truck. Are there any disadvantages to towing with an suv compared to a comparable truck? I pull a 19rb, tip to bumper it is...

I finally figured out that the battery I bought was bad.  Took it back and got a replacement battery.  The Lights work now.  I do plan to test the other things y'all suggested tomorrow, like making sure power is getting to the battery to charge it. Next I am going to see if my propane stuff...

The only electrical panel I have found is on the front of the converter.  None of the breakers there are switched off, and all the fuses are good.  I will check the voltage like you suggested,  and flip all the breakers off them back on too.  I have found a Current breaker close to the...

I bought a used bumper pull tt.  It is a 1997 gulf stream conquest 19br. It did not come with any kind of owners manuel. My question comes down to is it possible the interior lights are not ment to run off the house battery? There was not a battery on the trailer when I bought it.  The only...
