    Motorhome Alternator and Lithium Battery Upgrade

    I am about to pull the trigger on replacing the two FLA batteries in our 2016 Sunseeker with two Battleborn 100Ah lithium batteries. I have read in some places that when these batteries will draw so much current if charging while driving that the vehicle alternator will be damaged. The...

    Looking at upgrading the cheap Jensen head unit that came with the unit, also looking at upgrading the speakers with it. What units are plug and play that will work with all the cameras? Model is the 27qb if that makes a difference. Any help is much appreciated.

    Too quick to upgrade?

    Just posted an ad selling my 7 months old 19BHLE. I really like the TT but we've recently added 2 cats and realized it's just too small for the entire family. We looked at a Rockwood 2509S and LOVE it, so the plan is to buy one of those after we sell the 19BHLE. Are we moving too quickly on...

    Battery Upgrade

    I have a 2021 Salem Cruise Lite 273qbxl. We're on our 3rd battery, most likely because of the 12v fridge draining them on long trips or boondocking. The first time the battery died because didn't realize how much power the fridge uses - we were in a non-issue electric site with limited...

    Converter/Inverter upgrade

    Okay, so my 2010 Roo 21ss came with a converter, but I'd like to be able to boondock using my battery power at night (I sleep with a CPAP) which means installing (somehow) and inverter into the system. I have three solar panels, multiple battery setup, just no current way to invert 12v to drive...

    Lock upgrade question

    Has anyone upgraded the lock on their tempered glass entry door? I just picked up a 14CC and am waiting to upgrade the locks. I’d imagine trimming a glass entry door is out of the question so I was wondering if anyone has already upgraded their locks on their glass entry door. Any input is...

    Battery upgrade

    I currently have a 2021 27’ Shockwave and I’m looking to upgrade my batteries. My question is, if I go to 2 200ah Renogy lithium batteries, would that give me enough power to run my AC unit? I do a bit of boondocking so it would be really useful to be able to run the AC without have to run the...

    Upgraded WFCO 8735 to PD4135KV

    Hello, I have searched a bit and read all of the manuals, etc. but I have a question about the “boost mode button“ I’m aware of the profile it charges at, but when is it appropriate to use this mode? I assume it is to use dry camping with a generator, for example? Is it basically just the “I’m...

    Microwave upgrade

    Hi, The original microwave in our Blue Ridge fiver died last week. If you haven't looked recently, the prices for RV replacement microwaves is disheartening. Besides that. They no longer make the Magic Chef model the RV came with. So after some research, I found a .9 cf...

    Upgraded to Forest River Vibe

    We have had a 1967 Holiday Vacationer for the last 20 years. We loved her, but decided to upgrade as she was beginning to need TLC. Purchased a VIBE, she is a bit less of a "tank". Good and bad. However, I am here to find out more about what we have and what to do with it.

    Hello, I have the magic chef mcg992arb microwave. 14.5”L x 19.1”W x 11.4”H. I contacted magic chef and they do not make a direct replacement. When searching convection ovens for RVs, I have not found an exact dimension match and some do not offer a depth measurement. I would rather not just buy...

    Suspension upgrade

    Anyone have any experience or opinions about the Roadmaster Comfort Ride slipper springs/shock absorbers? After watching the video from the manufacturer, I am impressed by the engineering. Kind of a poor man's independent suspension. Looks like a decent shade tree mechanic with the right tools...

    just upgraded to a 5th wheel

    We just upgraded to a 5th wheel from our Microlite 25FKS and the dealer offered an option of safety chains for the pin hitch. Seems to me that if it's a safety issue chains would be standard. Does anyone have opinions on this so called option? Thanks!

    Has anyone upgraded their 3500# axles to 7000#? It was recommended to us to do this since we haul 2 Harley’s in our unit. We blew bearings on a tire with the 3500# axle.
