Paul, I have seen your post already and downloaded pics you posted.I am specifically interested in tilting my ZAmp 160 watts panel that is mounted on Yakima tracks. I will call AMSolar as you suggested. Their brackets is a bit pricey but I am sure they are well built.

Searched topic but could not find post on how to tilt my 160 watts panel mounted in Yakima track. Looked thru most solar mount discussions but didn’t see any mentions. Maybe I am not typing in the correct search words. Any suggestions ?

There are no “better” one. You can get better priced one on Amazon or EBay. Mine was plugged up with solvent or oil from degradation of rubber hose causing my fridge to not cooling much and the stove having yellow and weak flame. Took out the regulator and about 1/4 cup of yellowish solvent...

Found a solution...took out the drawer below the stove, loosened the copper pipe flared female nut going into the stove and took out the flared 1/2 to 3/8 reducing male fitting out of stove and will be installing a sae 45 flared tee male reducer 7/16 x 3/8 x 3/8 in place if I can find one. Got a...

Thanks for the tips and pic LightHawk. My stove is different from yours. Copper pipe is underneath the stove and with limited access to pipe end. I don’t have any 4 ways tee. All threes ways tee and all are used. I called 4WC and Amazingly, Stan called me back promptly with suggestions. I will...

Hi all, I am trying to remove the section of copper pipe coming out of the tank storage compartment so I can put in a tee for my new Wave 3 heater. I am having a bit of problem and need help. Initially, I thought it was a easy job to loosen the female flared ends of the copper pipe below the 3...

Read others posts about usable water capacity. 25 gallons available with hot water tank? Not even close. I can get about 16 gal out of the “20” gal main tank, and after it stop draining out of the back spigot, I can drain about 3 gal out of the hot water tank into the main tank, and then out of...

Be careful not to block the vents on the ARB. It looks like you need to allow more space on one side and the back. The compressor will get too hot and will not cool your fridge and may damage it.

That makes sense. I was thinking that I would shut off the 10 gauge line while I switch in the 2 gauge, and vice versa. Better not take a chance knowing that I might forget to switch off. I will take the 10 gauge out. Thank you.

Ah, the more juice guru chimes in... that settles that. Thanks Vic. I was wondering about ground loops and too much juice...ditching the 10 gauge. I wonder why 4WC didn’t follow Blue Sea’ specs in wire gauge install. BS Manual states 6 gauge if over 10’ run and with no aux start hookup. If...

I am not sure it is that complicated, after all both 2 gauge and the factory 10 gauge goes to the same negative bus and the positive goes to the Blue Sea isolator. It is essentially on one system. I am thinking maybe I need to shut off the 10 gauge line if and when I need to switch in the 2...

Good to know. My thinking on keeping the 10 gauge connection is that it does give some charging on long drives and if I only switch in the 2 gauge connection when I really need the boost if I had to idle the truck for a bit to prevent house batteries going too low if solar fails again or when it...

Thanks all for suggestions. My other question was whether I should keep the 10 gauge connection via trolling motor connector and just use the 2 gauge via Anderson plug just when I really need a boost from the truck. Got new solar panel coming and it always was never a issue until I got a new...

Thanks HTH for the links. My system is the stock 2016 Grandby side dinette. I have folded over the smaller gauge wire ends to fit into larger Anderson plug tangs to mate with larger gauge A plug in the past with smaller gauge cables. I may give that a try as I already have a A plug to mate with...

Advise needed on inside wiring. I have hooked up 2 gauge from truck battery to camper bed ending with Anderson plug. Now I am finally ready to finish the connection inside the camper, but need some advise. I am finally trying to finish my wiring upgrade because I discovered how inefficient the...

Update: fridge working fine after adjusting the level of the thermistor inside the fridge, didn’t need the electrode after all. I cleaned and blew out dust in and out of burner. Also adjusted the propane regulator two turn clockwise. It helped with the stove flame level. I know I should of...

Corrections on thermocouple, what I ordered was the electrode, not the thermocouple, apparently my model does not have a thermocouple. I will have to call Dometic to confirm. I did take the millivolt reading across j4 and j10 re page 20 of the manual section 7.3 under thermocouple. OC, thanks...

After reading the diagnostic manual, and followed all 9 potential causes as best as I could with limited equipment and knowledge, I may have found the culprit. The Thermocouple is reading around 13 millivolt when it should be 22-36 range. Most symptoms I have being experiencing is in section...

Thanks Old Crow for link to Dometic diagnostic manual! I will dive into it later. It will save me loads of cash! Steve, I have run the fridge on ac and on Honda generator and works fine. On dc, it works too. Faint light on check, auto and dc indicators only on gas mode. I will follow up on low...

Thanks OldCrow and All, after running the fridge on AC for four hours and got it cold, I switched back to propane again. The faint lights on Check and DC and Auto was still on, it the AC light. But the good news is that the fridge stayed cold last night. Apparently blowing air into burner did...

Tried that already. The second full tank didn’t change anything.

I have not cleaned the pipe yet, but now I will. I have cleaned my water heater burner tube before and got better blue flame after cleaning and evicting the spider vagrant. The fridge burner flame looks nice and blue and was hoping blowing inside the tube with air would of helped. The flute gets...

Well, I am stumped. My three years old Dometic 2.7 cf 3 way is not working in gas mode. Works fine on 110v and actually runs well on 12v with 280 watts solar and full sun. In gas mode, which acts up occasionally but blowing air and making sure truck is level usually gets it running. Now The...

Good idea and certainly much more convenient than struggling to line up Clevis pin holes and risking fingers pinched., while holding up the weight of my Torklift steps in awkward position. But I wonder how stable it is when you put all your weight on one side of the step. Maybe couple more of...

Well, I worry too much...had been running in DC for three hours and battery never went below 12.5 v. and I have only the 160 watts roof panel hooked up. Called ZAmp and learned that the controller doesn’t really tell you the SOC except in estimated percentage and they also told me to get a...
