    12 volt refrigerator

    We're looking at a new Heritage Ridge trailer that has a 12 volt refrigerator. We will have two roof mounted solar panels and two 12 volt deep cycle batteries. Does anyone have experience with these refrigerators? We do a bit of boonbocking. Thanks for any opinions John Lee

    12 Volt lighting not working while boondocking

    Newbie issue here: when boondocking, only the fifth wheel hitch jack works; everything else (including the interior 12 Volt lighting) doesn’t work. The battery is new, and the manual breakers adjacent to the battery are functioning (I.e., test current flows through them). What am I missing...

    12 Volt Power Source When Connected to Shore Power?

    Just upgraded to a hard-side with a big slide. This is my first power slide. So I have a dumb question. If I'm hooked up to a generator (or shore power) or a running TV, and if I deploy the slide, does the 12 volt power draw to run the slide: a) come from the converter (when connected to...

    Need new tv. 12 volt or 110? Which would you choose?

    I have 1 tv that just stopped working. There is power to the 12 volt outlet, so I’m guessing the tv went dead. For replacement, do I stay with the 12 volt, or switch over to 110? Any advantage to 12 volt, other than not needing shore power?

    How to test the 12 volt battery

    I am getting ready to take our TT down south this winter. We will be boondocking once in a while and I need to know if our 12 volt battery is in good shape, or should I plan to replace it. What is a simple test I can do with my voltmeter? Thanks.

    12 Volt Wires - link to lights?

    I want to put a couple vent fans in my vents on my Sunseeker. I pulled the vent trip and see neatly taped wire right there....no fishing for a wire. My question is it tied to the lights so that it is switched with the wall switch. I am hoping it is live 12 volt all the time. I would rather...

    Is 12 volt power required to operate slides?

    We have a 2013 23IKSS Roo. When plugged into 120 VAC, the slides will not function until I turn on the 12 VDC power source. Is this correct or should the slides operate with or without the 12 volts turned on?
