That is the problem, I don't see any exposed frame from the inside, and not sure I can or want to drill here and there to find a section of aluminum frame. If I have seen an open section in the front, I would of grounded in at the spot already. It is all plywood inside in the front. The ground...

CK, thanks for all the great advise on condensation, mattress storage, etc. Rando, I think you are right, I am not going to worry about it. It does not snow too much around here, and when it does, the sun will be out soon enough, except when the snow is wet and heavy and then it get cold and...

I can't seem to find the frame grounding bus on my 2006 Grandby. Per BlueSea Isolator specify I should ground the negative bus bar to the frame on the camper. I called FWC, and was told to check behind the IOTA for the ground bar, yes there is a ground bus attached to the IOTA right behind...

I read few "might work" comments here, but no one actually have used the extended flow kit and said it works for sure for their model of camper. I tried the Y splitter on my horizontal tank, and it does clear the Manchester tank wrap around cage, but the connection hose from the camper is too...

I am not so sure about the 10' rod case and the reel vault that is probably catching a bit of wind on the highway. I was going to built one too, but using larger diameter pvc and length long enough to accommodate rods broken down to two pieces. Padding inside pvs would be nice too. I am...

After long search trying to not pay for adjustable roof solar mount kit, found these knob bolts on Amazon. They are steel, but a lot cheaper than stainless steel. Got some 1 1/2" aluminum angle iron already from the recycling yard. I got another project. WindyNation has their mounting kit manual...

Craig, I didn't think about condensation at all. Humidity is pretty low usually in the winter around here @4000' high desert env. . I was just going to crack front sliding window open a bit. Maybe tape screen over opening to keep critters out. Any suggestion and links would be appreciated it.

Very good condition Norcold 3 way refrigerator/freezer. I got it as a backup for my Grandby. I have come to realize how reliable and low /no maintenance this fridge is. It does take few hours to get to cold temp once camp is set up, but no big deal. Very frugal on propane. It is taking up space...

Hummm, I just had a rare brilliant idea...I was worried about some snow accumulating on the roof top panel and if I get six inches of wet snow, and freezes. My panel may not get any sun for awhile. I should remount the panel angled toward the winter sun and if I raise one side 20 degree or more...

Thanks for all the replies. Camper and truck will be outside and uncovered. It does freeze around here, and my water system will get a good flushing with compressed air, etc. Not a issue. I will treat the roof top again with 303. I have a dual battery set up in the truck, not sure what "system"...

Searched topic but can't find much info. I need some advise on long term storage of my camper. Mostly, I have questions about my camper battery and the truck's dual battery maintenance. The camper has 100 watts roof top panel and Trimetric installed to monitor single marine battery. I have a...

Porch light switch on Grandby puts out short burst of light, then nothing. Tested positive lead to switch and got juice ok. I didn't have any electrical contact cleaner and didn't want to spent $7+ and wait a few days for it. Just used cotton tip soaked with rubbing alcohol to clean to switch...

Called Renogy and asked Tech dept about modifying the wiring connections to on-board folding panel controller. They informed me that any mod will void warranty. Suggested that I should of purchased portable panel without controller so I can connect to installed SC-2030 in camper. I was hoping...

With the help of some of the experts on this forum, I was able to install 125 watts roof panel and Trimetric monitor and controller. System works great for my single battery. I just purchased a Renogy folding 100 watts for winter use, just in case I needed it and in case I add another battery...

After considerable time and searching, I finally have my 2006 Grandby rear LED flood light installed. The advise in the original post and subsequent replies does not apply to my Grandby. I am sure it is easy for a shell model Eagle to pull back the panel and access the green wire from the...

Nice and easy to follow roof repair post. I am about to do the same before more rain. I actually read the direction on the 3M sealant...it says to NOT use alcohol based cleaner as they prevent cure. Acetone is ok.

Thanks for all the pics. Very nicely done. I am inspired. I ordered everything I need and will keep it simple and allow room to expand in the future. This is kind of fun and I am going for it. Good thing I have some time right now. Thanks for all the sagely advise.

Thanks, Thom. I appreciate your input and suggestions to a novice wire hacker. I found out on Duramax forum that stock GMC truck batteries are parallel connected as the diesel need both battery to start the engine, so no isolator in the truck. I will tap into passenger side battery to go to the...

Interesting and frustrating. Post about Carbon Monoxide and suspension problems...NOT related at all. One can kill you pronto and the other can give you rough ride. Lets stick with one issue at a time. Just my 2cent.

My alarm went off, not sure why as it was parked and nothing was in use. I did just installed a Trimetric battery monitor and charger and fiddling with programming it. After reading Snuffy's post under rotten egg smell, I suspected that I was over charging my AGM battery. Check for smell and...

Vic, thanks for the reply. I can't find my 2007 Duramax manual so I don't know if I have a Isolator or not. I assume the driver side battery is the primary and the passenger side is the auxiliary, or if the OME GMC didn't use a isolator, both battery is considered primary as it takes a lot of...

ntsqd, thanks for the info on wire gauge needs, I understand the bigger the better, but I am more confused as to how to upgrade the wiring from the two batteries from my truck to the camper. The existing wiring is inadequate and is wired in with the battery on the driver side only, not sure if...

Thanks Vic! I have learned a lot from your post. I just installed Trimetric TM-2030 RV and SC-2030 on my Grandby. I could not and would not have attempted to do the install without reading up your post and many others who have contributed so much to the topic. The Bogart Engineering engineers...

AC current. Amazon sell these and poster said it draw 8amps. I might try putting it on top of the tank and use a timer to kick in in the early AM hours to see how warm it gets.

Just getting ready to a trip to the desert and thinking about protecting the water pump and tank from freezing when I remembered I had a seedling heating pad that I used to get a early start on my tomato and other seedlings in the early Spring. Has any one used these heat pads around or near...
