Had to inflate a flat tire today. Used a 12v compressor and connected it to the 12v outlet at the foot of the bed (cord wouldn't reach the cab). Now the 12v outlet doesn't work. Everything else on the coach is fine. Opened the cover; wires are connected; no evidence of damage. Any ideas which...
I have a 2010 Silverback and I am getting no 12v appliances, lights, etc. to work unless hooked to shore power. I replaced the battery with a new one and still no 12v. Also, I have no 12v even when hooked to the truck. When hooked to the shore power I have all working! I checked the fuses in the...
I want to mount two 12V batteries on the hitch of my 186SPT. Question: Using parallel wiring, will my truck alternator charge both batteries while I drive without any additional modifications or parts? And I assume that if the answer is "yes", then when I'm hooked up to shore, that both...
I am hoping to add a pair of 12v outlets and a USB Charging outlet to my aframe and I'm having some difficulty wrapping my head around some elements of the wiring. I'm not a wiz on wiring by any means, which may mean I'm overly paranoid if not in over my head and should get it done...
We just got our Rockwood 8265 5th wheel out for it's first outing last weekend, mainly just to 'debug' it for a couple planned longer trips coming up (and since we have to take it back to the dealer for some warranty work anyway).
My question now has to do with the built in 12v plug in the...
Hello folks...my first post here, although I have read through the forums many times and found plenty of useful information.
About 18 months ago I purchased a used 2007 Rockwood Freedom 1620. I was expecting some issues based on the price I paid, and indeed there have been a few, most minor...
I found this on another site and thought it may come in handy for some of our members. You can get to part 2 at the bottom of the page on part 1.
The 12volt Side of Life (Part 1)
Okay so we have 110 power but no 12V...nothing is tripped...all the fuses we see appear okay? Anyone have similiar problems. Our dealer..Scotts Motor Coach in Lakewood NJ were no help...they got the sale that is all they cared about. Anyone any similiar problems? Note the trailer has been...
I would like to add a couple 12 volt receptacles to the bunks so I can place a couple fans for the kids (one for each bunk). It gets stuffy in their beds and fans would help. There are a couple of well placed lights that I could tap into (the pantry is on the other side) but I do not know how...
Be gentle with me on this one - because it's entirely possible I'm in over my head...
I have an A122BH Aframe and my next mod project is probably going to be to install some 12v outlets. We pretty much only camp without power, relying on our DC batteries for our needs. Next spring I want to do...
I have an issue witht the lights on my 2002 Flafstaff PU. The lights do not work on the battery but do work when pluged into SP. New battery, new converter and still no lights. I have 12V coming from the battery to the converter. I've checked the grounds and all look good. No blown fuses. I...
In our last 5er the TV was 'fixed' mounted, but on our new Rockwood (that we pick up on Friday) it goes up and/or down into the console...wow! :roflblack: I know I will find this out in my walk-through, but why wait when I can ask the question here :)
When we bought the rig yesterday there was...
Hi, We just purchased a new to us 2010 Rockwood 2604 travel trailer. I pulled it home, hooked up to AC power and everything seems to work fine. My problem is with the AC disconnected I don't have any 12 volt power in the trailer. I turned on the switch on the trailer tongue near the battery. A...
First the question:
Is there/where is a 12 volt power outlet in a Sierra 365 SAQ?
Now the rant:
We're not new to RVing but this is our first season with the 2013 365 SAQ. We recently had a really bad storm blow through and the power at the campground was out for several days. As the first...
I have installed a Sani-Con, the macerator pump for black water disposal, in the dump plumbing space of our six-month old 3170DS. (By the way, we are most pleased with our 3170.) I need 12 volt power to it but don't want to try to get to the breaker box in the bedroom for fear of drilling into...
I think i have determined that i have a problem with the 12 volt part of the convertor. my battery gets sucked dry even when plugged into the campground power. the campground post has proper power and my tester tells me that i have proper power coming into all the outlets in the camper and the...
Wondering how many are using portable 12 volt coolers like Coleman, Mobicool and others? Any opinions & recommendations? We are thinking of getting one for longer trips when we want to stock up on extra liquids and maybe fruit, veggies and meat. We're also thinking it would be helpful for...
We have all the iOS devices - iPad's iPhones & iPod's and I wanted to install a couple of 15W USB outlets as well a couple 12V outlets in the TT.
Wandering what others have done to install these types of items to their 12V system. Where is the best source other than coming from the battery...
Here is another project of mine.
I got the idea from this guys instructable.
Solar Attic Fan
I took a 15 watt solar panel and then have a 12 volt fan hard wired to the panel.
(Note my solar illuminated safety cone)
Then I installed a MaxAir vent cover over the rear vent and rest the fan on...
I have a 2010 shamrock 21s. We camp at a place where there is no electric hook up and you can only run a generator 8am-11am and 4pm- 6pm. I want to replace the two batteries i have with the largest 2 12v deep cycles on the market. They are not hooked up together. i use one at a time. When...
12v guru's...help me pick out a voltage meter (digital or analog)?
i want to install a permanent voltage meter in my 5th wheel. im sick of dragging my multi-meter around when camping haha! and the "empty, 1/3, 2/3, full" meter just isnt cutting it....
if i get a digital meter i would imagine...
As some of you may have gathered from my other recent posts, I'm a total PUP newbie. So here are two pretty simple questions.
Are the interior electrical outlets on my 2006 Rockwood 1640 supposed to work on 12volt? Mine only work on 120. The lights, heater etc.. work on 12v but not the...
Hi there,
Anyone know where the 12v location is in the trailer. We want to make our tv run off of 12 volt and dont want to start ripping things out without knowing exactly where its located.
Thanks
My 02 class A diesel pusher's living room slide does not have any 12v power. The lights flickered one evening and did not work the next day. I have checked the fuses and the wiring going to the slide....nothing! Also, the inside tanks, LP
