    I am about done with upgrading the battery box and battery capacity on my 06 Kibbi Renegade. I went from three, Series 29 wet batteries to three, 4D AGM batteries. I had to build a bigger battery box in the process. I am also adding a Bogart Engineering Meter and Shunt to get a true handle on...

    Dry camp, how long does 12v furnace fan run?

    I was wondering if I would happen to dry camp for one night and have to run the furnace. How long would it run? Does anything charge it? Is it based of how much electricity the fan uses and how much the mAh that the battery holds?

    No 12v off battery?

    Just got back from a trip to discover I have no 12V off the battery for lights, fridge, etc... The battery is good and both slide outs function properly, as well as the tongue jack, but I believe they both run straight of the battery and not through the converter distribution panel. Everything...

    12 volt lights

    hello, I am new to the forums and a new (used) 2006 shamrock. Was tinkering with the idea of putting in a 12 volt charger for my stinger flashlight. We have only used the camper once, and always had hydro. I also noted that there wasn't any cigarette type plugs for which I thought I could use...

    1907BH 12 volt problem

    I just bought a new 2010 1907BH popup. My wife and I towed it home to Milwaukee from Detroit where we bought it. Everything works except the 12 volt interior lights. I know it's not the battery because it raised the roof on the popup just fine. But when we placed the stove/sink combo into place...

    12V clip-on fan

    My wife came home with the 12V fan from Wally-World the other day. A great find at 12.98 but the only problem was it plugs into a "cigar" lighter. Simple enough fix. Run to Radio Shack and buy a large mono plug, the same size that fits in the light fixture. (Our pop-up has three fixtures with...

    Flagstaff 228D - can't get 12V items working

    We just bought a used used 2001 Flagstaff 228D. I've ordered an owner's manual (which can probably answer my question), but while I'm waiting I thought I'd post this problem. When the trailer is plugged in to 110v, none of our 12v items work in the trailer - namely the lights and the furnace...
