Does anyone have a source for the 12 Volt Rocker Type light switches that are used in the Forest River motorhomes (I don't know what is used in their trailers). I want to add some switches on various lights in the coach that I feel the factory should have installed. Also, does anyone know if...

-made sure the water filter was removed
-filled the underfloor water tank (closed petcock as this...

I have a 2008 Rockwood Signature UltraLite which has one dinette slideout on the driver's side. I began having trouble with the 12V overhead dinette light shorting out and noticed it was happening whenever I took the slideout in or out. The 12V light over the kitchen sink also shorted. I...
When we were bringing our new Roo 233S home last summer I noticed that we had no 12 volt power when we weren't tied to the 120 volt landline. So today I went and grabbed the multimeter and started at the battery and worked my way back. Well I didn't have to go too far to find the issue. It...

I recently sold my Rockwood 2270 tent trailer and upgraded to a Salem 26BH travel trailer. The new owners of tent trailer have contacted me to ask why the trailer will not run on the 12volt system if the have a site with no hydro. I never used the 12 volt system except for when i was towing the...
Our 2011 31TS landing gear work fine without being plugged to shore power, so the battery must be ok. However, no other 12v works, the monitor panel, slideout lights, etc. Any ideas? I cam't find a problem with the inverter...

First off, this is not meant as a debate on 12v vs 6v, I've already made up my mind to replace the worthless 24 series, 85 ah 12v batteries that came in my '07 Forester 2941DS, with 2 new 31 series 130 ah, hooked in parallel to give me 260 ah.
Now to my real problem, the slide out tray with...

I also purchased a nice runner to protect my carpet and "SLICK...
