    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Simple Wiring Check

    I have a Dometic 2193 3-way fridge. 12v is not working. (I know the caution around running down my house battery if I run it on 12v for long.) I suspect it's the wiring but I'm a newbie when it comes to 12v wiring. Here's the wiring diagram: Strangely, the diagram doesn't show the wires...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Accessing burner on Dometic 3-way?

    I had to remove my burner tube again to readjust the electrode while adding a relighter so I'm adding some tips and photos for getting out the burner when there doesn't appear to be enough room. 1. Turn off the gas. 2. Remove the screw that's on the flange above the burner (see arrow in next...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Tech Tip: Auto-Relighter for Propane Refrigerators

    UPDATE - Learn from my mistakes After successfully wiring the frig relighter, we went camping above 10,000 feet. The relighter was sparking very frequently. I then realized that the electrode was probably not deep enough into the flame. It worked great down "low" (5800 feet) but at higher...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Tech Tip: Auto-Relighter for Propane Refrigerators

    Thank you for the additional information. It sounds like I need to adjust my ground because I just grounded to the back of the fridge. I'll adjust to ensure that the ground goes back to the battery, indirectly or directly. The reigniter is working great, though. It sparks even before the flame...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Tech Tip: Auto-Relighter for Propane Refrigerators

    I hope, despite this being an older thread, that I will get an answer. I thought it best to continue this one rather than starting a new one. I recently installed a battery-powered barbecue sparker to replace my piezo. It works great; it lights my Dometic 2193 three-way fridge very quickly...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Accessing burner on Dometic 3-way?

    I know this post is old, but I'm guessing I'm not the only person who is benefiting from it years later. I had the same apparent lack of clearance below the gas burner but once the gas line was disconnected (another hardship because there is not enough room to easily get a box wrench on the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Running cable from truck battery to camper

    ntsq - Can you please clarify? Are you saying that, though length of run can be of significance, given the size of my wire (4 gauge), running to the back of my camper should not be an issue? I like your idea about coming up between the panels. I actually hadn't realized there were two panels...

    Thank you, ntsqd. I didn't want to get into the details of the install, but I do appreciate your reminders. I am running both the power and ground cables from battery to battery with a fuse at both ends and an Anderson SB connector between. I have read that the location of the VSR is flexible...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Running cable from truck battery to camper

    I am planning to connect my 2003 Tacoma truck battery to my Northstar pop-up truck-camper house battery to run my fridge and charge the house battery while driving. Other than summer and fall, the camper is in storage so I'll install quick connects (and an SCR and fuses) between the truck and...
