I agree with 38Chevy454. I'm not trying to get anybody to make the switch. I actually had very good service from my Norcold unit. The biggest concern I had was fire. My fridge was 6 years old when I got the rig. And 10 years old when the ARP controller became widely available. I've read a bit...

Naw, I don't think the inverter is the problem. Because when I've got my charger turned on the inverter has no problem running the fridge. Or when I add in my 3 chassis batteries it works fine too. And it works fine for 6-8 hours on the two 6 volt batteries. I've already bought 2 more 6 volt...

Don, I'm using a 2000 watt Xantrex pure sine wave inverter. The specs say it's 2kw continuous, and 3kw surge. I would think that should be enough for this 12 cubic foot refrigerator?

The batteries that the builder put in were 12 volt group 24's. I looked at a few of those and they have about 75-100 amp hour rating. So, putting two of them in will give me 150-200 amp hours. And the 6 volt batteries I put in are rated at 232 amp hours. And I know I can't add them together...

Yes, that agrees with what I'm seeing on the inverter digital display. When the fridge is humming along it's showing about 40 watts going out. Once I spotted it showing 9xx (can't remember exactly but somewhere in the 9's) for a moment. I figure that was when the compressor was starting up. I'm...

Don, here's the battery I'm using: http://usbattery.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/usb_2200_data_2015_WEB.pdf I don't know all about amp hours and such. I trust my battery guy. He's told me that using two golf cart batteries wired in series (to end up with 12 volts) is going to give me the...

38Chevy454, what are you doing to power yours? I only get about 6-8 hrs. run time on my two golf cart 6 volt batteries. Then it doesn't seem to have enough juice to start the compressor. If I switch the battery switch to add in my 3 truck batteries it will kick on the compressor and run the...

Looks great.

I second what Kulus said.

I had a Gear Vendors overdrive on my Corvette. It dropped my rpm's about 500. I think they build them for mdt's (medium duty trucks like a 4700). You could check with them. Gear Vendors under/overdrive transmissions the most awarded auxiliary transmissions. I think it will cost you about...

Great news! I love a happy ending. I'm sure glad you didn't give up. You're going to love that thing when it's all done.

Wow, what a great adventure! I'm jealous. Very very neat camper too. It seems like a very fair price to me. Thanks for joining our forum and posting. Good luck with the sale.

Here's the batteries I put in: U.S. Battery | Leader in Deep Cycle Batteries | US 2200 XC2 - U.S. Battery | Leader in Deep Cycle Batteries

I took the 12 volt batteries to my guy for the cores. He checked the batteries and said the one battery was real bad and the other was "marginal." They were a little over 4 years old.

My original batteries were in vented boxes. White ones. Guessing the builder thought they should be vented out. The storage bay they're in has a pretty well sealing door. But there is a large vent right there behind that red switch I put in to cut the power to the 2k inverter. So, I wouldn't...

Yes, mine is noisy too. And as you can see it's mounted right under MrsBob86ZZ4's head when she sleeps. I'm told the new pumps are much quieter. When mine quits I'll surely buy the quietest one I can find. We never use city water pressure. I don't trust it. We always fill up the tanks when we...

Do these pictures show up? I'm trying here folks.

The original batteries were in white plastic boxes vented to the outside by a flex tube from the top and a vent through the bottom down toward the road. The boxes weren't tall enough for the golf cart batteries. I couldn't find any vented boxes tall enough. So, I cut up the white boxes to use...

I had replaced my overhead florescent lights with l.e.d. ones. When I am on battery power alone running the water pump would make the lights flicker. Didn't bother me as much as the Mrs. Anyhow, since I ran huge wires up to the inverters in the night stand I decided to try something. I ran a 10...

Got the golf cart batteries all in. Works great. Powered up the fridge right off. I took some pictures but they haven't uploaded from my phone to my dropbox yet. I don't know how to prod it to get it to upload. It just seems to do it on it's own. Just in time for our road trip on Thursday to...

We're leaving MN on Thursday heading to Mizzery. Going to visit a niece at Mizzoo Friday night. Then onto Branson for Saturday through Thursday. Going to take in some shows and stuff. Never been there.

Don, I have always wanted to increase my 12 volt capabilities in this rig anyhow. My Allegro had 4 x 6 volt golf cart batteries and I got kind of used to that. So, I picked up 2 golf cart batteries (6 volt ones) on Friday. Going to put them in this week. When I take the 2 12 volt batteries in...

I found 1 gauge welder cable for about $2/foot at my welding store.

Do the pictures show up now? I agree Don, it sure seems like they should. But they don't. If my 2 house batteries are crap and don't have any amps, could they still show up as 12.x volts on the readout of the inverter, yet not work for a load?

And the overall.
