    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Powering Marker Lights with an Isolated Ground System

    "I would really prefer to maintain isolation of the camper and truck grounds." I don't understand this? Is this common practice? Doesn't the 6ga battery cable connect them? As I try to make everything work on older equipment I have always been guided to verify/repair grounds first and...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Power Cords

    Great topic. Answer; the plugs are angled so that they can be plugged into a socket that is covered with weather protection. We now have giant clear "warts" on the side of our houses. Why not on your camper too? This code is for safety from NEC and NEMA. My personal code for safety, as a...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 1990 Jayco Sportster 7 Restore

    Excellent replies Old Crow and corybrown50 with good threads referenced. Hoppy's ambition is well directed here. I have not heard of the Canvak either and it is clearly for cotton. The canvas on our 97 Shadow Cruiser is fortunately in good shape outside but shows some discoloration in the...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West done with the traditional Dometic 3 way.

    My understanding of the 3 way fridge is different than I read here: About the best that can be achieved is a delta 40 degrees F and 30 is more realistic. The reason they need to be level is to return the condensed ammonia mix back down the swirly tube without creating a liquid trap. The toss...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Relocating the furnace thermostat

    We have the same problem with large temperature swings from the bi-metal type unit. This is aggravated by the fact that the thermostat is currently mounted on the 3 way refrigerator cabinet that gets warm. Would love to have a wireless one that currently cost too much $$$. This is not easily...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Heco Lifting System Help

    Our 97 Shadow Cruiser has this system. I don't believe it has torsion bars. The first several cranks are very difficult! We used strap iron to prop the rack plumb and fixed the latch with a spacer busing rather than the lash rope the previous owner used. I agree about the crank popping out...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Leveling blocks?

    We don't drop jacks, DOES Anybody? Does slide out make a difference? 3- 2x8 beveled blocks screwed together and sealed grain with duct mastic to make ramp (2 each). I found a level spot in cab (equal to level floor in camper) to place torpedo level. True 1.5" is first step and we often park...
