    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Battery Monitor Question

    Vic, That is a good question. So "it has just seemed that way." That thinking seems a dubious to me now. So, I am going to keep much more careful track, looking at how the battery voltage and the percent charged correlate. If my understanding is correct one should avoid going below 50% of...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Battery Monitor Question

    Thank you all fo the information. I am very much gravitating towards replacing the Tri-metric monitor with the Victron. When I check the battery voltage displayed in the Tri-meteric against the voltage displayed on the Victron (using the blue tooth function) they match up. But, the state of...

    Hello all, I installed a 250 watt solar panel on my Grandby with a Victron controller with blue tooth. I have an existing Bogart Trimetric battery monitor and considering replacing with a Victron bluetooth battery monitor. Two questions: Would the Victron battery monitor be preferable to...

    I have a 2014 Grandby and would like to replace my struts with a bit heavier duty ones. Where did you get yours, do you have the part number? Are the front and rear struts the same? Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West awning advice

    moveinon, Do you have a photo of your bug net around the awning? Great idea. Do you have any comments on how you made it? If it functions well I may end up finally installing a Fiamma awning. I have been a bit reticent to install an awing - just hasn't seemed to be a god enough "return on...

    I mounted the propane bracket on an aluminum plate, and bolted the unit to the jack bracket. I used washer for spacers as needed. It has worked out well. Sorry for the sideways picture - they just attached like that and I could not figure out how to rotate them

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Removal of Camper on a Slope?

    Thank you again all. I have come to the conclusion that it is too risky - too many things that could go wrong. So, while I think it is possible, I think it is not worth the risk. Glad I posted and got your feedback. It may have saved me a big headache.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Removal of Camper on a Slope?

    All your replies are great - very helpful. I think I have found a solution. I ordered some good heavy duty steel truck ramps that I can drive one end of my truck up onto and it will add 10" to that end. That will bring my truck/camper to almost level. I have air bags for I can adjust the rear...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Removal of Camper on a Slope?

    Any advice out there about the risk of removing my Grandby 4 wheel camper when my truck is on a slope. I have never tried. When the truck/camper is on my sloped driveway the front of the camper is about 6-8" lower that the back of the camper. My thought is that I would rise the lower end...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West My Grandby Shell Upgrades

    Fireball, With respect to the refrigerator I will agree it being in the front of the camper is not the most convenient place for the purpose of cooking outside, but it is for the purpose of being out to the way in the camper itself. You are correct - good planning when cooking outside cuts...

    P.S. I am not sure why the picture posted upside down. I tried to fix it with no luck. Maybe they can be down loaded and rotated for better viewing by any one interested.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West My Grandby Shell Upgrades

    Just thought I would take a moment to share some of the Gandby shell upgrades I have come up with. Maybe some of my ideas will help others. I removed the rear seat in my extended cab and built a storage box with slide out boxes and with space on top for soft cargo. There is room in middle...
