    OK, does anyone have a recommendation for a replacement solar controller?

    Solar with AGM battery

    The battery is 4 1/2 years old. The input charge from the panels to the controller is 20 volts in bright sunlight. The voltage from the controller is 12.7, and the battery under no load is 12.6, the last time I checked it. I haven't checked the battery immediately under extended charge by...

    Solar with AGM battery

    I have a 15 year old solar system in my class C: A single KC-50 panel with an older ASC 12/8 controller. The issue is even in bright sunlight, the system can't seem to get the battery above 12.7 volts, even if the array is putting out about 20 volts. I heard that the AGM batteries are not...

    Why do they sell RVs without a spare Tire!

    Yup, my 2001 Four Winds Fun Mover didn't have a spare tire or a rack, either. So I built one. Good thing, too, because that rig eats tires.

    Deep Cycle Battery

    This Renology battery, which I believe is an AGM, can it be used as a "drop-in" battery, or does it need a special charger?

    No ac coming from dash vents

    I had the same issue, but had to get another vacuum tank, since it is very difficult to get to on those models. But I was able to run another line through the firewall where the old line went. A bit of work, but it looks very good.

    Onan 4000 Microquiet quits after 20 minutes

    No, and I can tell you why. After it quit, I went to prime on the on/off switch at the genset. The pump is supposed to run then, but it didn't.

    Onan 4000 Microquiet quits after 20 minutes

    It was the pump. I changed out the fuel pump and the filter, all is well.

    Onan 4000 Microquiet quits after 20 minutes

    I have a Onan 4000 KY that will run for about 20 minutes, then starts surging and shuts down. It will start back up, then starts to surge again and shuts down after 10 minutes or so. The code reads "36", which is uncommanded shut down, and could be a number of things. I believe it is...

    Deep Cycle Battery

    I was looking at the Northern Tool catalog for deep cycle batteries that would fit my rig, and noticed two with the Interstate brand: Group 31 98 amp hours, 27 lbs $179.99 or: a 90 AH, 50lbs, $199.99 Does anyone out there know the difference between the two? I always thought the...

    Roof replacement cost

    I had an outfit in north Georgia do mine - a 31' toyhauler - for right at $5000. That being said, it wasn't exactly old world craftsmanship, either. A typical price would be around 12 - 14 grand.

    Removing a dead animal from a slide out

    I had a squirrel die and put itself between the refrigerator and the wall. I paid a guy who specializes in that sort of thing to get rid of it.

    Water pump not working

    The reason I did it that way is because that's the way it came from the factory. Of course, after I had done all this I discovered that ShurFlo offers a kit with flexible line for this purpose.

    Water pump not working

    Well, I got the pump changed out, had to put in new PEX pipe on the outlet side, since the pickup was a bit higher. I found out that vise-grips don't squeeze the clamps properly - had to get special kind of pliers off Amazon. But the pump works better, with superior flow, so I'm grateful for that.
