So it turns out what I really needed was a taller garnish ring to go with the new vent. Found both on E.Trailer.com

Replacing the whole thing since all the metal parts got bent up. The old plastic trim pieces including the bug screen has become really brittle. No fan though - I thought this would make it easier but most I’ve seen include a fan. Just found a snippet that fan-tastic vent is now dometic...

Having a hard time locating a proper non-fan replacement vent. The opening is 14x14x4-3/4 thick. 14x14 is easy but finding information on how thick of a roof is supported is quite a bit harder. We ordered one from amazon but it only supported a 2-1/2in roof. Also, most of the ones we've...

Darn close.... https://www.rvtrader.com/listing/2013-Cruiser-Rv-Corp-SHADOW-CRUISER-5010484408  Just need a bit shorter/lighter.

Thanks for the tips and leads. Hoping to find ?the one? for a Yellowstone trip this summer. I made quite a few mods to the Yukon so it can get a bit closer to its max tow without sweating but I know it has it?s limits. Thought about going to a PU but need room for valuables including peace of...

Right now I'm mainly trying to get model number suggestions so I can troll CL/facebook and all the other haunts more effectively.  I've been spending a lot of time looking at a a go-zillion 'not it's' so I was hoping to 'crowd source' some research data. (Boy I'm learning a lot of techie terms...

After using our 'starter trailer' for a couple years we now have a better Idea of what we NEED in a mobile abode.  We would like to find a model with a U-Dinette, dual bunkbeds (x4Beds), and a full time Queen bed.  I would prefer an 4-10 year old model so as not to eat the depreciation. Ideally...

My guess is he has a slideout or two, From my observations they add around 500lbs each.

Don't do it man! :-[  Read some of the weight police' posts on figuring out loading/ tongue weight.  I can tell you from my experience with the Yukon and my 4300#(Scaled) trailer I would not dare pull anything much heavier with the 5.3l. especially in mountains.  I go up the passes here around...

Unless you just want to concern yourself with FUN to tow - I wouldn't do it if there's any serious hills, mountains in your future.  My (1900# according to the specs) 4300# Tahoe trailer is WAY tongue heavy (800# Trailer alone) even with a WD hitch - with the kids, dogs, gear overloads the 1500...

LOONG day but we got a lot done. Ran all the 12V wiring through the body, finished all the 120v circuits.  Still need to finish installing the battery box and wiring to the inverter. Also wire the 240v stove once the counter/cabinets are in(The only reason for the 50 amp service.) So while at...

So I'm going over to Korby's today to wire some things up.  I have the 240v ac panel in but just wanted to verify something before throwing switches. The  (AC System) Neutral and ground both have their OWN Buss bars and are NOT linked together.  Does the AC Ground buss bar get grounded to...

Rebuilding an antique trailer.  Starting the electrical from scratch we have purchased this inverter. http://a.co/3uwOO8i I've been looking at this distribution panel. http://a.co/8xQJkMa Is there a way to use the breakers in this panel so one or more of them could be run from the inverter...

Thanks all for your great answers.  I think I can make some educated suggestions for my friend now. Thanks, Brian

Helping a friend wire an antique trailer from scratch. He wants to run a 240v cooktop so I need to set up a 50 amp 240 feed. He also wants an inverter as he plans to run a dorm fridge. Assuming I use one leg of the 240 to run the 110v system when plugged into shore power how do I get the 110v...
