I was hoping someone with direct knowledge of Stable-Lift would post but since that hasn't happened, I'll take a shot at it rather than let the question go unanswered. After reading a few articles, particularly this Weld Done: Stable Lift Factory Tour one from Truck Camper Magazine, I believe...

It is indeed possible the tank is cracked. Your post reminded me I had a photo of a cracked one. The photo orientation is confusing but that's the only one I have... There are a number of videos on YouTube on replacing a water heater. The one below seems pretty comprehensive and...

A couple of thoughts after a quick look through the ZS-30A manual.... -- Double-check that battery type setting is correct and hasn't changed for some odd reason. -- Check that LCD and LED indications are as expected (under multiple operating conditions). -- Consider getting the optional...

Ctek's D250SA and D250SE DC-to-DC chargers have a feature to trickle-charge the starter battery. Here's how it's described in the manual... "• Trickle charging of the starter battery from a solar panel. The D250SE trickle charges the starter battery from a solar panel at intervals of 3 seconds...

Reminder: The Virtual Overland Expo West event will be happening tomorrow, starting at 9 a.m. Pacific Time. I see Roseanne and Jonathan Hanson will be kicking off the morning sessions with a presentation on History of Overlanding. The event is billed as a preview of the live event coming up...

Food for thought: wuck's schematic shows connections on the Iota IDP-30 AC/DC distribution panel in his 2004 Hawk. IDP-30 manual..

What model fridge? If it's an NRF45, I see the manual for that one shows it has power and error lights and I'd be curious what they show. Also, whether they display differently with truck running versus battery only.

Just saw a 2007 Grandby shell on a light gray Chevy regular cab truck parked at the plaza in Salt Springs, Florida. New Jersey plates. FWC classic!. Had a nice chat with the owner. He had bought it new in 2007 and picked it up in Wisconsin.

Owners of the older Four Wheel campers with Atwood 8516-IV furnaces may be interested in the videos below. Darren is working on an 8531-IV but it's very similar to our 8516-IV ones. In this case, it's mounted horizontally so those of us with vertically-mounted ones have to do some mental...

When I first read the question I thought of the following post but couldn't find it until just a few minutes ago... Missing Link's post (about the FWC owner who often drives with his camper's roof up) .

Perhaps some would consider it overkill but I'm still doing this..... Hitch clips and pill bottle with pre-departure checklist I pull the hitch clips as I unlatch to raise the roof, put the clips in the pill bottle and leave it on the driver's seat. At departure, the pill bottle on the seat...

Ah, yes, Florida in winter! Love the photos. I've been going down there most winters since 2006 and in fact am headed there next week. Your post is getting me off my duff to prepare more thoroughly for that trip. May I ask where you took the iguana photo? Your Fort Clinch and St John's...

Very interesting video. To me it suggests anyone who has switched over to a LiFePO4 and charges it from their truck may want to measure alternator temperatures under several scenarios (normal and stress conditions) to see if there may be an issue on that specific setup. I'd think a simple $25...

If you're convinced you need to monitor amperage, here's a pretty good video discussing several budget alternatives ... including the one you linked to. ... and here's a review of the 100-amp version of the last one by Will Prowse (who has been cited here on WTW before)... .

“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.” - Mark Twain (Also - For those interested in such things... An interesting article about it on the...

Try this 1995 Sun-Lite Skyhawk Camper thread for info. And don't miss the link to a Skyhawk SB (Short Bed) in the last post as there's more info on its dimensions there. Good luck in your search!

I don't have time to look into this further right now but thought you might want to read through this thread for some background on California laws regarding off-road and auxiliary lighting. It's an older thread so I'm wondering if there's other, more recent info out there on it but don't have...

Here's a Blower-Doesn't-Run portion of a troubleshooting checklist which I think applies to the 8516-IV... Also- - what thermostat are we talking about? - what does the control-board LED show during yes-it-works vs now-it-doesn't runs? The LED is on the board so the outside cover has to...

I see there's also a Facebook group for these heaters. It appears to be pretty active as there have been over 1300 posts in the last 30 days as I write this. Chinese Diesel vehicle air heaters - Troubleshooting & Parts Sales The About this Group section includes this description (plus other...

I just found this video troubleshooting and repairing a gas-valve problem. It's on a more current Atwood (now Dometic) furnace but the principles are the same. It brings us back to the lack-of-propane issue... one of the possible problems with WillTheThri11's furnace. I've thought this an...

In a normal ignition sequence, the fan runs first to clear out the combustion chamber before attempting ignition (sparking). Then an ignition attempt. If ignition is successful, you hear the whump of the fire starting and hear it burn and shortly thereafter feel heat coming out of the air vent...

You may be able to follow the high tension wire from the control board to the igniter. On mine, the igniter is kind of hidden behind the gas valve. Down low, right side where the gas supply line connects to the furnace. On first glance it looks like there's no way the igniter assembly would...

I believe you should be able to hear and perhaps feel the click of the furnace's gas-valve solenoid opening and closing during the ignition sequence. I consistently get a whiff of LPG during the ignition sequence but it's fleeting and I have to be close to the gas-valve / igniter area of the...
