All,
I found a couple of older threads about the M2 Headlight options. I am down to 2 choices I think. Skipping retrofit for now.
1. New OEM LED headlights from RoadMax which I understand were made available on 2019 and up M2's and are either optional or standard.
2. The M2 Stage 2 Bi-LED...
I'm pretty green at this posting thing. I posted this on another thread but decided to start a new one in hopes I'd get some responses. I have a 2018 Isata 3 FW. I installed 2 LISUATELI 12V 100Ah Lithium LiFePO4 batteries today. To do so I upgraded both the converter charger and solar charge...
We have been looking to upgrade to a 5th wheel rv but have been contemplating all this towing ratings, payload, etc… So hopefully you can provide a piece of mind information based on below:
Truck info:
2018 GMC DenaliHD 6.6L SRW 6.5 SB 4x4 Crew Cab
GVWR 10,000
Curb weight est. 7,845

I finally got the 2x200W Rich solar panels installed on strut channel. All hooked up and working. I have another 2x200W Rich solar panels with 40A MPPT on the way. That will give me 800W and 2xMPPTx100V/40A. I decided to run 2 sets of 10ga wire from the roof, so each SCC will have its own wires...
We just finished 5 nights of off grid camping with the last 4 in a semi covered campsite that didn't allow generators. We have 4 100 amp Alberta lithium, 2x170 watt roof mounted solar panels through the original zamp controller monitored with a Victron battery monitor. Renology 2000W inverter...

Trailer Type: 178BHSKX '21/'22
Hauling Vehicle: 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 Crew Cab 5.3L
Purchased from: Couch's RV Nation in Ohio
I wanted to provide details for others about what we've added so that people could see the real cost for a new RV. I...
Hello all from WA!
After years of tenting it (I did grow up RV'ing in the 80's with my parents) I have upgraded to 2016 HW296. Last kid graduated and I was the lone one of the friend group (single moms when they got them) who did not have a trailer. Did I bite off more than I can chew...
We have a 30amp Jayco Class C and sure wish it was a 50Amp unit. We seem to be right on the edge of the 30amps a lot of the time.
Has anyone upgraded a 30Amp unit to a 50amp unit? Is it possible to do or is it too costly?
Thanks.
Just and FYI to the forum.... On my Geo Pro 20 FBS I just upgraded the 13.5 BTU Coleman Mach AC unit ceiling unit and controls to the bluetooth system. I also added the heat strip option. As part of this upgrade I also tested the system on a 2200 watt duel fuel inverter generator (Pulsar...
I was watching a you tube video of a newer c.c. maybe a ck 2 model. The interior lights over the table,island and back wall looked very nice. Any idea where they might be purchased for an upgrade. I always thought the light over the table looked like a endtable lamp that was cutoff and hung from...
My 2015 Legacy coach came equipped with a Magnadyne stereo/navigation center. The system never worked excellent, so it was time for an upgrade.
After much research I opted for the Stinger Heigh 10 infotainment system. I added custom built cherry speaker boxes with JL C2 650 speakers, and a JL...
I got a Salem FSX 260RTX Platinum this year. I know it's just an entry level, but there is a lot of low quality systems. I'm ready to tackle the radio. I plan on adding four new, high end marine speakers, so I'll need more power. I'm leaning towards adding a compact, four channel amp to...
Hey All,
Seems I'm on the way to upgrading the bulk of my HW296.
I'm going to install the following:
PD4135
BVM712
Victron MPPT 100/30 (assuming this is enough for 200 watts of panel)
Victron ~450 watt inverter (need help deciding on the specific model).
I'm fine with wiring the converter...
Hello everyone, I'm looking to upgrade my tow vehicle. I've been looking at a 2016 GMC 3500HD dually with a Duramax diesel and Allison trans.
I had a 2000 GMC dually gas and loved it, but it finally gave up the ghost, so I am familiar with the vehicle. What I don't know is about the engine...
Hi,
We have an Apex Nano 208bhs with the modified murphey bed. Has anyone upgrade their mattress and if so, what did you find, and where?!
Any help is appreciated!
With COVID keeping the use level down over the last 18 months, many of us discovered this spring our rotted actuators with irreversible water infiltration. To those who have gotten the improved factory replacement version…let’s call that those with better seals and the rubber motor gasket...
So, I gots new wheels, a new tower. Traded off the '04 Dodge 1500 QC for a new to me '10 Dodge 2010 1500 Laramie QC.
The old one towed our TT well, but this new one has Dodge's rear coil spring suspension. It's mushier than the old leaf springs. I use a Reese Straight Line WDH and got it...
I'm ready to add a second 12V Battle Born for my GeoPro 16BH. Doing the measurements it doesn't look like I'll be able to fit both batteries in the current battery box. Any recommendations for a new battery box that doesn't weigh a ton and will fit both batteries?
Hi everyone!
My family and I just upgraded from a 2009 Fleetwood pop up to a 2021 FR Wildwood. Our three teenagers were getting too big for the beds, though we loved the simplicity and light tow weight! We “skipped a step” in getting a small travel trailer and went to the 33’ big un. We are...
I have a new 2608 being built and should be done by the end of the month. I want to upgrade to lithium batteries right from the start. Does anyone know if the charge controller has a setting for lithium batteries? Thanks in advance
I am wanting to upgrade to a digital thermostat. However I am confused as there’s only two wires coming out of the back of the thermostat. Any suggestions on which thermostat to use and how to hook it up?
Hello everyone. I’m looking to maybe upgrade to 3/4 ton truck. I currently have Sierra 1500. This truck pulls my trailer just fine but I feel it’s going to put a lot of wear and tear on it, and probably won’t get as much out of it later on. So looking for 3/4 either diesel or gas. Haven’t...
Our cameras in our 2017 37bh are foggy at night. I want to replace them but wasn't sure on the part numbers. Also would be nice to upgrade to dual rear cameras. Is there a rear dual camera system that doesn't require running new wires? I have already upgraded to a quad display and have one...
My hope is to be able to go at least 3 days 2 nights of travel/boondocking without needing to charge batteries. With that in mind this is what I have done. Added 2x190 watts Gopower panels to my 1x190 watt factory package. Also replaced 2x100ah 12 volt FLA batteries with 4x190ah 6 volt AGM GC2...
