    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Dometic Refrigerator Door Gasket replacement

    Call 1-800-746-1313 This is the Truck Division for Dometic, ask for Rob Lung or John Barnett. Believe I talked to Rob very helpful. Truck Division is important. If the 746 prefix doesn't work try (706), but pretty sure it's 746.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West New Heaters and fridge

    You just might be able to squeak by with two days plus a little with the proper batteries (enough amp hours). During the week just plug it into shore power. I've got a 260 watt Zamp portable (7 to 9 amps/hr) plus 100 watt (3/5 amps/hr) on the roof which would probably be over kill for you, but...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Installation Scheduled! Any questions I should Ask FWC

    Make sure their is enough caulking in the wholes in the rivets on the outside ends of the vinyl pop up , better yet have them put vinyl patches over the rivets. Not doing so will increase the chance of the rivets damaging the vinyl while driving. Also check the hardware top & bottom that...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Shut down problem with Dometic Coolmatic CR-1110 2 way compressor

    This refrigerator( 2 way- Ac/Dc compressor) keeps everything nice and cold, however, in the shut down mode it cycles on and off 4 to 10 times to shut off. My guess it is either a bad thermostat or thermo coupling. Any one else had to address this problem?

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Truckfridge temp consistency

    I have the two way compressor 110. Keeps things cold; however I do get the inconsistencies. For the money it seems to have to work a little hard to do it's job. Not sure but I think there is a relationship between the battery voltage and the fridge temp. As the voltage drops the fridge gets...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 3 month trip, parts that have failed...

    I have had real good luck against the no-see- ums by spraying a little raid bug killer on a tissue and lightly wiping the screens. Amazing how well it works! Don't use anything with deet in it, it will melt the screen. I believe if FWC were to use the true no-see-um screen it would block to...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West AC power not working when plugged into shore power 2017 Hawk

    Longhorn, I just purchased a 30 amp 10 gauge extension cord and a 30 amp surge protector also. My issue is the female end of the extension cord is way bigger than the plug of the FWC 30 amp pigtail. I've been told to get a 30 amp male to 15 amp female pigtail to connect to the FWC pigtail. Seems...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Compressor refrigerator sound level

    If you unplug the refer in the motel, pretty sure you won't like the compressor. It doesn't bother me but it does make noise. One reason I didn't get the propane is it has to be fairly level to work, then I found out I can't sleep on unlevel ground anyway.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West New FWC with gas strut - not enough

    I was told by FWC if you put too strong of struts on you can damage the roof this was a couple years ago, they may have learned more since then. Also heavier gear on top should be taken off to raise and lower. I use one of these for storage and really like it...

    Here's a video of the batwing in case you haven't seen it: Must admit it's tempting, however, my refrigerator is on that side and it is nice to be able to just put the awning out a couple feet to shade the side so it doesn't run as much. Doesn't look like that would be as easy with the...
