    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Heating at Altitude

    +however many we're at now.. remove the ducting. I bet it fixes your issues. Fwiw, my factory furnace in my 2016 Grandby worked perfectly at 16000 ft. The last good one installed I think. ‍♂️

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West FWC Electrical basics and upgrading to lithium!

    I'm the original poster, and I'm sure I recommended installing a DCDC charger, along with the heavier wiring for a lithium application. For several reasons, all laid out in the write-up. The thin wire won't melt (generally) but it will significantly limit your charge capability, and the voltage...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West FWC Electrical basics and upgrading to lithium!

    It shouldn't be an issue at all. Occasionally, with flooded lead batteries, chargers can reach even higher voltages than that during equalization stages. The equipment in the camper should handle 14.6v no problem.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West FWC Electrical basics and upgrading to lithium!

    Have you actively observed the DLS-30 output that high of a voltage? They're only rated to 13.6 or so, and a HIGHER voltage in BULK is entirely backwards for correct battery charging. We've seen literally hundreds of the DLS-30s and I've NEVER, EVER, seen a voltage output from one anywhere near...

    FWC Lithium Manifesto Ok, lately especially, my inbox has exploded with questions about DIY installation of lithium batteries into Four Wheel Campers. We’re talking 5 new inquiries a day. There is a lot of info about it on here already, but I thought maybe it would be helpful if I put it all...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 4AWG from the factory?

    If you finish the upgrade all the way to the camper battery, and ditch the factory trolling motor plug and second relay, you'll probably see as much as 30amps..

    I didn't read through the entire thread, but was referred over here by a customer who saw it.. Definitely upgrade the wire. It makes a huge difference. Even with a DCDC charger.. I saw someone else mention it above, that their Redarc "didn't like" the smaller fwc factory wiring. Of course it...

    If you like your current victron MPPT, keep it and install Victron's Orion DCDC Charger. Avoid Renogy equipment like the plague. Their quality is nowhere near the level of victron equipment. We saw in three units fail and no longer install any Renogy equipment into any customer rig.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West BUILD: New Flatbed for standard FWC

    I built something similar for my silverado and grandby a few years ago. When I was looking, SherpTek didn't really exist yet so just buckled down and made my own. It's been an excellent solution, especially with the regular cab, for gear storage. I've found that the open sides aren't an issue...

    Honestly, I'm sure you're fine. Your F-250 will handle the weight and shift in CG just fine. If it is a CC or Diesel, you'll still be balanced forward quite a bit anyway.

    We fill the main 20(+6) gallon tank from wherever we see a spigot or hose someone will let us use. We bleach that water according to WHO specifications so no matter what's in it, we can drink it if we're don't mind it tasting like pool water. That water though is basically used for everything...

    Thanks man! I never really compared it to the weights of those others, I couldn't really afford the nice aluminum trays and they weren't exactly what I was looking for so didn't do that much research into them. It's cool to hear my weight comes in so good in comparison to those guys. I'm sure...

    I did actually just use the stock turnbuckes. I like that they're proven, and I like that I can loosen one corner in the really twisty stuff to give things even more flex. I can also remove the camper really quickly since I can reach all four turnbuckles from outside the truck. I was originally...
