    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Happijac anyone?

    Set my new (to me) Grandby on the truck (Ram) last weekend. I'm not crazy about the factory mounting idea - eyebolt with fender washers through bed sheetmetal. I crawled around underneath, but can't make it hit a cross membr, and building a custom bracket to the frame looks impossible. My...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Another Newbie Joining

    welome drat- I bought my Grandby going into winter, and can't wait to get it out now that temps just rose above freezing (still freezing at night). I'm hoping to mount it on the truck this weekend. I've got a matching canopy to remove also. Nice looking truck. I'm partial to Cummins power...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West windows

    My passenger side window is louvered on the rearward portion, like SunMan's, and opens with a twist knob on the inside. The forward portion of the side window is an emergency exit and opens from the inside by loosening one or two red colored clasps and then pushing the window outward. The...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Winter camping in our Hawk at below freezing?

    When camping in freezing weather, use of the heater might keep water pipes from freezing, however, I'd be watchful of places like the outside shower hose, water tank drain valve, and where the supply pipe connects to the exterior of the camper. During travel or storage in freezing weather...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 12 volt socket redux and radio install

    Oh, I see. On the IDP-30 I just purchased, there is a ground bus looking just like the one in your photograph, but it is attached to the backside of the plastic housing of the IDP-30. You would have to remove the IDP-30 to see it or else feel the back of the housing below all of those red...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 12 volt socket redux and radio install

    Nice job. There should be a ground bus on the back side of that distribution box just below all of those unused red pigtails. There should be several slots available and this would be a really good place to connect your ground (keeps them all neat and tidy). I really enjoyed looking at your...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Attn: wiring gurus...03Grandby circuit ???

    Wondering if the pics made it to ya, Stan. I think I'm going to order a new converter and other parts. Question is how you install it for proper air-flow. Would be nice to see pictures of current installations. I'll post my results in case it might help others.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Attn: wiring gurus...03Grandby circuit ???

    Thanks again for your thoughts. Last night, I traced through the various circuits and discovered no problems with the camper wiring. I tore the converter apart and found where the internal circuit board had shorted to the frame at one of the mounts (the board was burned at this spot and I...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Attn: wiring gurus...03Grandby circuit ???

    Stan, when I switch on the rear floods, it seems to "trip" something, as everything will go off (lights, CO detector, etc.) temporarily. Upon turning the rear flood light switch back to the off position, usually there is a delay and then all of the other things will come back on automatically...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Attn: wiring gurus...03Grandby circuit ???

    Thanks guys.... Yes, it acts like a screw piercing a wire somewhere. I have taken the rear floods off and apart and checked that all out. I added some heat shrink to the wire at the penetration to the camper where the insulation was scuffed off by the sharp metal edge. I had thought that was...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Attn: wiring gurus...03Grandby circuit ???

    Upon getting my newly acquired camper home, I was going over everything and seeing how stuff worked, and when I flipped on the rear flood light switch it killed the power to everything :( (happened on 12VDC and 120VAC). I rec'd an owner's manual for the converter in the mail today, and it says...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Hot H20 Reinstall ?

    1st of all, great forum! I'll post later on the 03 Granby I acquired this week. Question: It appears that the hot water heater (rear drivers) was removed before and not properly re-installed. A gap of about 1/2" exists between the exterior cover plate and the siding. This should fit tight...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Fantastic Fan retrofit

    Nice! I might do the same one of these days. Are there a variety of fantastic fan models or is there 1 (I'd hate to order the wrong one)? What particular sealant did you use? How do I know if my FWC is prewired (03 Grandby)? Thanks for the post.
