    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Solvent for Polybutyl tape residue ?

    You might want to try WD-40 or another spray type of general lubricant. Another one that might work is PB Blaster.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Vinyl Siding Durability on New FWCampers

    I have a 2013 Hawk with the Fiberglass siding and I love it! Looks great still to this day. I use it almost exclusively for hunting trips and it has held up really well. Personally I can't stand the look of the corrugated aluminum siding and I'm glad there was another option back in 2013.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Dometic 3-way fridge maintenance

    I'd suggest removing it, take to landfill, install 2-way compressor refrig, install 160 watts of solar on roof, then enjoy and smile.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Iota float for long-term shore power

    I can see and access my Iota by laying on the floor on my back and looking up into the cabinet next to the refrig. However, in order to do what I did, adjust voltage, I had to disassemble the cabinet.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Iota float for long-term shore power

    Read through my post from last year. It might have the answers you're looking for. The short answer is yes, the Iota can maintain your batteries. I installed the Iota IQ-AGM plugin controller and then adjusted the pot-meter screw and got the Iota charger down to 13.31 volts, which is perfect...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West On the spot cash offer for Hawk

    I'm betting I could get over $22k for my immaculate 2013 Hawk that we paid $18k. It has a 2-way refer, 160 watts solar, brand new 6 volt AGM batteries, Tri-metric battery monitor, etc.... I thought about it, but to order a new one with the same options would be over $30k!!

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West New 2020 Hawk surprise!

    Just picked up my new 2020 Hawk. To my surprise it came with a digital voltage meter! I still plan on adding a proper battery monitor but this is helpful until I get it installed. Also... are fully charged AGM batteries supposed to read 13.4 volts?? My new Lifelife AGM 6 volts show 13.3...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Freshwater All Metal Drain Valve Replacement Parts and Pics

    I think, and I could be wrong, that these frost-free faucets simply push the faucet valve back into the protected and warmer envelope of the house to prevent freezing. I don't thin it has anything to do with draining back into a structure or into pipes in the ground. I'm kind of interested in...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Truck Battery, need to replace mine, any recommendations?

    Why would a 2015 year truck need a new battery? My last 2005 Ram 2500 went 10 years on the original dual starting batteries.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Wire gauge for Change from 12v to 6v Batteries in 2013 Hawk

    I pulled the trigger for a new Victron MPPT 100/20 solar controller and have to say the bluetooth programability is awesome! I also upgraded the battery interconnect cable to an 8.5 inch 2 ga cable. I've been playing around with the solar charging and shore power this past week with the new...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Venting a refrigerator.

    I had an icebox in my 2013 Hawk too and took it out and installed an 85 liter Isotherm refrig. I think the Truckfridge is a rebranded Isotherm BTW. All you need is one vent. I installed a second vent fan and have it switched in the cabin for especially hot days. If you have solar and a...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Wire gauge for Change from 12v to 6v Batteries in 2013 Hawk

    I spent a few hours yesterday dismantling some of the cabinetry so I could gain access to the Iota converter/charger to attempt to adjust the voltage down slightly with the trim-pot. It took a bit of effort to locate the tiny, tiny trim-pot screw, but once I found it I was able to adjust the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Wire gauge for Change from 12v to 6v Batteries in 2013 Hawk

    I agree about over the top solar charging system. I've personally never had an issue with the FWC wiring under the truck to the batteries. Generally I camp/hunt for one to three weeks straight and generally in areas where there's a lot of sun. I have a 160 watt panel on the roof and I deploy...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Wire gauge for Change from 12v to 6v Batteries in 2013 Hawk

    I didn't ask about honoring the warranty. From my experience if you identify a problem for a manufacturer they'll almost always say NO, they will not honor the warranty. I think I may try to remove the cover of the Iota DLS and see if I can tweak the voltage down 0.4 volts, which would put the...
