To CWD, Vic and others who might be watching this very old post. With COVID time available, and finally healed from various medical issues, I strung a #4 stranded wire from truck battery to an Anderson terminal in the bed, passing through a 100 amp breaker mounted on the truck firewall. I...

Many thanks to those who posted the how to clean maintain the RM2193. I just followed the advice given by Winks and others and my fridge works like a champ now. These posts with photos were very helpful. Thanks again!

CWD: If you are still monitoring, The shakedown cruise failed. Best advice I have now (this from auto electrical fellow) is to change out the 10/2 wires from alternator to 6/2. I may do this after my shoulder surgery heals, or, I might just throw in towel... Oh, the fan hook up works like a...

CWD; Have been traveling for three weeks (without camper), busy with other things and wanted to give update such as it is. Have new alternator (140amp), installed and have put a 1.5v computer fan in upper vent of fridge compartment, wired up as you suggested. All appears to be working great...

Thanks again CWD, this should work perfectly. tdf

CWD, Yup, everything you told me has helped. I got a 140 amp off of ebay. Did it before I read this, so I used a different supplier. I talked to them and all seemed reasonable, so I've got my fingers crossed. I drive a 2000 Taco with a supercharger which, according to my supplier, will use...

CWD: Okay, thanks agin on the amp advice. After fruitless efforts elsewhere, took truck to mechanic, alternator is failing. Anyway, my shop only had available 80 amp altornator.. I wanted at least a 100 amp unit. Do you have any advice on a brand? (I too long trusted the alternator okay...

CWD, hey, thanks for the input. I have not checked my alternator, but it's rated at 120A. I've load tested the battery (it's okay), checked the heater element for proper resistance, and it checks okay. At idle I get 14DCV at the fuse box (this is after the controller), but I get 13DCV after I...

Thank you Stalking Light and Trapper Mike (could make a poem out of those handles). I got the SI-ACR installed as you have done with no problems. Unfortunately I yet have the same problem I started with which is the battery drain while driving and the Dometic frig on 12v operation. Battery...

CWD Your comment "how well mine works on DC.." is interesting. I have the same RM2193, yet it drains my house battery while driving in less than an hour. Unit is on an Eagle with gravity venting. Voltages all over 12V with Blue Sea Charging Relay in camper. Battery is Deep Cycle...

Thanks, Paul; That's a good option you've pointed out. Since I've no spike protection now, and it's been several years with existing system and no problems, I assumed spike protection I don't need...... Main reason for placing ACR in camper is it's just an almost simple (yes, nothing really...

I have an 06 Eagle, looking to install the Blue Sea ACR. Dr.J's photos are a great help, thanks. But I want to install without any leads going to the "ignition" post, because i don't want to run another line back from the camper to my truck. I cannot tell from Dr.J's pics if he used the...
