Hello,
I have just purchased a 1995 Gulfstream Conquest Class C RV for an AMAZING deal.
While I have researched the lifestyle and the rigs extensively, I have a lot to learn!!
Right now here are some of the holes in my knowledge:
Currently shopping for a tow bar. Can I get a basic, solid piece bar with a ball latch, or is a fancy one that tongue fits to the RV hitch receiver required? Price dif there is $80-$600, so I need some experienced roadies to help me out!
Our rig came with solar. So far, I have located the battery, converter, and the solar power gauge, but I am unsure if something needs to be switched to move from shore power to solar. I have photos of all of my electrical stickers, including the top of the extra battery bank. I am taking a crash course in electrician's jargon, but it's a little confusing.
I also went to remove the froofy padded window frames, but was bummed to discover that the pull down blinds are attached to the top runner! Is there a way to separate the blinds from that monstrosity? Or do we need to get creative in recovering it with something else? These things seem to take up a lot of peripheral space!
We have propane, a generator, solar, and shore. I am unsure about a surge protector, the label on the fuse box seems like it might have an installed protector, but I am not sure.
It came with all the goodies: spare parts, bulbs, pipe fittings, black tank dissolve packets, almost everything I would have loaded a cart up with to get started, we are very blessed. What repair equipment do you use the most while on the road?
I am going to be flat towing my manual transmission 2015 jeep patriot. I will be installing the baseplate myself, and looking forward to some sound advice on tow bars, but I also want to make sure I understand all the GVWR stuff so it isn't wrong. If anyone would be willing to walk me through that, I feel like I need the COMPLETE IDIOTS GUIDE.
All of the repair paperwork and appliance manuals are intact and present. Tried to troubleshoot the dash light fuse, but the electrical mapping in the book spun my head around.
Anyway, LOTS of questions, I'm sure I have more, and I look forward to getting to know the community here as I reach out for support and read through older threads.
If you have a link to a relevent thread, I would love the share. Don't want to be one of those asking the same old questions a hundredth time!
Cheers!
