    RadarScope view of a summertime storm southeast of Denver Friday evening.... The app has a little red oval with a number in its upper right corner. When I click on it, up pops a list of current tornado watches (in red), severe thunderstorm watches (in yellow) and flood watches (in green)...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Shore power - what is supposed to work?

    You may want to read through this 1969 Alaskan Owner's Manual. If nothing else it will give you some background info and I see it has troubleshooting guidelines for both electrical and hydraulic systems. Yes, that's for a '69 but truck campers are slow to change and you may find useful info...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Another courtesy brought to you by the ethanol industry.

    Here's a guy with the problem... My first thought was 'glad we don't have them here'... only to find they've also been found as far north as southern PA (There's also a distribution map in the article. And a stunning photo of a beetle-riddled gas can.) After seeing the video and map, I was...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Summertime!

    I mentioned earlier in this thread I had spent the $10 for RadarScope for my iPad to learn more about summer storms. And in closing I said I'd also like to see lightning strikes. After looking at several dedicated lightning-strike apps in the app store, I decided to instead upgrade my...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West WTW Driver Error / database error

    Just got this message a few minutes ago... (click to enlarge) I don't think I've seen that one before so thought I'd better screen-cap it in case it means something to a systems administrator. Everything seemed fine after refreshing the screen. .

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Four Wheel Camper - Electrical Issue

    It would be very useful to those trying to help you (and to you, I'd think) to see what the battery voltage levels are under the conditions you describe. If you don't currently have any way to do that, an easy, non-technical solution would be to plug a digital voltage display into the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Ditch the GPS!

    GPS/paper-map storytime... This thread reminds me of two bicycle-campers I met this Spring in Florida at Osceola National Forest's Ocean Pond campground. I had noticed them come in and set up nearby the previous evening. The next morning I ran into them at the shower building. They were a...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Is my buddy smarter than I?

    HI, Norsman- Take a look at this explanation and see if it helps. I've got to run so I only had time for a quick look for info but that one has a photo of Zamp solar port wiring and also the wiring off the typical Zamp panel. I could see the photo, by the way. .

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Ditch the GPS!

    I fall on the 'I really like my GPS' side. Most of my travels have historically been with my wife. She loves to navigate so we'd decide on a general idea of how we want to get somewhere and she'd make it happen. I'd get state road maps and DeLorme Gazetteers and we'd make a very general route...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Using the rear solar plug as a charging port?

    Perhaps a diagram and a video will add to the discussion.... (Correct me if I get the explanation wrong, solar guys) The diagram isn't mine-- I'm pretty sure I got it from WTW and don't quite know where. (Click to enlarge) (The rectangular shape on lower left represents a Wago PushWire...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Summertime!

    Here in Pennsyltucky, we were getting severe thunderstorm and tornado watches and warnings daily last week and we're still having near-daily thunderstorms this week. It seems way early in the season for that as I normally associate it with hotter weather than we've been having. The local TV...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Buying Trailer To Tow Behind Tundra/Hawk; Request Input

    Phil- Looks like a key element in that document you posted is whether or not the trailer has a certification label stating that the trailer meets US safety standards. If it doesn't you'll have to go with a registered importer and that importer may be able to answer your questions (and you'll...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 7watt solar panel as trickle charger?

    You may just be seeing normal activity. In general, a fully-charged battery has a 'resting' or 'no-load' voltage of something like 12.6 or 12.7 volts. The solar panel applies a higher voltage (when the sun is shining) to counter-act the battery's tendency to self-discharge. When the sun goes...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West My Idea of the Perfect Truck Camper Electrical System

    This is great! Nicely done on the write up-- both here and on your blog. I've been hoping someone would try the combination of a Redarc DC-to-DC charger and a Battleborn LiFePO4 battery as I've been thinking I might do that when my camper's battery dies. I was also interested to read about...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 7watt solar panel as trickle charger?

    IMO, the answer is 'maybe' for either your truck batteries or your camper battery (but not all three). I have several solar maintainers and they don't put out much current so they can't stay ahead of any significant drain. When I first got the one maintainer I connected it my van's single...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Using the rear solar plug as a charging port?

    Does it work at night? (I'm guessing the phone charger was being powered by the solar panel during this test (not by the battery))

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Dometic fridge parts

    I think I'd start with this Dometic Model RM2193 Parts List diagram and do searches using the part number. I see it's a 2001 document so you'd want to verify the part will fit your serial number range. .
