    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 2 LiTime 100ah Bluetooth LiFePO4 in parallel

    I am wondering if they are having a problem with the way they are wired together. The way you have it, is how to do this for lead acid so they balance correctly but makes me wonder if the BMS isn't allowing that method. Instead of the way you have it, run each post to the appropriate bus bar...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Which side for awning?

    Kitchen will be inside. Due to the external vent and some internal structures, this was a high as I could put it, which is actually at the recommend Fiamma height.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Which side for awning?

    Hi all, I have my M1010 ambo project and I originally mounted my Fiamma awning on the passenger side of the box. Original I was going to put the kitchen on the driver side but to help balance weight, I now want to build it on the passenger side. Most builds I see have the awning mounted on...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Garmin Overlander

    I know this is an older thread but I wanted to add my .02 worth. This past week we vacationed up in the Durango, CO area for the first time. I have had my Overlander for a few years. I recently purchased a year of OnX Offroad for my phone. I downloaded the area maps for offline use. At this...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Maxxair Fan Install Cutout

    Hi all, I am working on a DIY camper project and I haven't fully decided if I am putting a roof fan in. Since I cannot put my ceiling panels in, until I lay out anything that needs to be mounted first, I am thinking of framing out the fan cutout location but not cutting the roof or ceiling...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Experience with newer Ram suspension & death wobbles?

    I can only say from my experience of owning a '97 Ram 2500 and my current 2000 Ram 2000, I have not experienced any death wobble with either of them. The '97 had a FWC Grandby and loaded up, sat right around 8600 lbs. My 2000 has a Northstar TC800 and will be a few hundred lbs. over the 8800...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Refrigerator vents

    Personally, I would never use a 3 way fridge again. That was the first thing I did to our old Grandby, replaced the 3 way with a 12v compressor NovaKool fridge. I picked up another NovaKool fridge for my current build. Once you go with a compressor fridge, you will never go back to anything...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West What size watt solar generator needed to run 12v fridge full time

    3 way fridges are designed to run on propane or 110v AC. They have 12v DC for when you are driving and cannot use propane but you have the engine running so you are charging all the time. Run off 12v DC, even with solar, you are likely to never get the battery charged. When I got my FWC, I...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West New to Us Northstar TC800

    Picked up this 2013 Northstar TC800 camper and put it on our 2000 Ram 2500 4x4 8.0L V10. Have a few things I want to tweak in the camper but happy to be back.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Mounting Fiamma Awning on Northstar TC800?

    That's an interesting idea. They have lift plates for the jacks but not 100% sure how it all mounts together. I don't have the camper yet but the did mount differently than my FWC we had previously. Might be a possible method. Thanks!

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Mounting Fiamma Awning on Northstar TC800?

    That's the info I am looking for, as I don't know how the structure is built on the TC800. Normally pass. side is my preferred side but open to either side, if driver side was the better mounting area.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Mounting Fiamma Awning on Northstar TC800?

    Hi all, It looks like I am purchasing a 2013 Northstar TC800 popup camper. I have a Fiamma F45S 8.8' awning from another project and would like to mount it to the TC800. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to mount it to this camper (either side is fine)? Thanks

    Bummer it doesn't list being compatible with the Overlander. I would think that would have been a great pairing.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West SOLD - 1997 Ram 2500 Club Cab 4x4 Cummins and 2004 Four Wheel Camper

    For full disclosure, I moved the truck tonight from the driveway and on the south facing side (side away from the house), I saw this starting. This is the crappy paint issues that Dodge and GM had during the '90's. This only occurred since Thanksgiving as when we were out on our last trip, the...

    I have gotten a number of folks asking for pics of the interior. I guess I really never had any. Took a few before it got dark. Will get more this weekend. Dash is in great shape, which is normally cracked on this vintage. It has been under a dash mat from day one. It is very dusty under...
