    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.

    Slide upgrades

    The flooring in my 2018 356qb main slide is rotten. To replace I first thought of a plastic/wood composite plywood simular to the Trex brand. Found a cpl of leads however then I thought of two pieces of plywood with a countertop laminate material on the bottom to waterproof and add less...

    Convection upgrade for microwave?

    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!

    Upgrade axles?

    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.

    Toilet upgrade for 19.5

    Hi - I"m getting very tired of the small and shallow toilet that came with my 2020 NoBo 19.5. What is installed is a Thetford Aqua-Magic model 31652. The most critical measurement seems to be from the back wall to the center of the threaded posts that come thru the floor and hold the toilet...

    Furrion P.O.S Soundbar Upgrade!

    So I'm sure everyone who enjoys music was extremely disappointed when their $60,000 Forest River trailer came with a Furrion Soundbar and Jensen speakers that ultimately run at 14 watts rms. Not too mention they didn't take the time to connect a simple audio cable to the TV so you can have...

    The 4-year old batteries in our 2016 Coachman Freelander 21QB motorhome were getting tired and I decided on a replacement before we begin our winter travels.

    Heater upgrade question

    Hey guys, I’ve got a 2021 27’ Shockwave and I’ve run into a bit of a problem. So the trailer doesn’t seem to be very insulated and it gets downright cold at night. Went out a few weeks ago and the heater just kills my battery and still doesn’t keep the trailer warm at night. Does anyone know of...
