You can look at our post, we replaced ours. we did it over the course of three days, taKing pictures and labeling things well. It's not bad.

We bought the Boodocker 45 from Best converters and here is our story. After many discussions with guy at best we purchased unit. He said it was the best replacement for the Elixer as it would fit space. We very carefully pulled the Elixer out as far as we could, not very far but far enough...

replacing converter in 2006 27 towlite We are thinking of replacing the old elixer converter with a new one and my question is , is there enough wire behind unit to pull it out far enough to work on back wiring?

surge protectors so is the progressive industries unit have a way to reset after a fault. The reason I am asking is a buddys protector went out with no apparent way to reset. We have been lucky as not to have needed on but thinking of getting one. What would one look for in a unit? thanks!

Thanks for all the replies. You've been very helpful.

We have a 27 ft hilo made in 2006 and one of the lower awning bracket attachment screws is loose and cannot be tightened. I was thinking of drilling through to upper wood plate from the bottom and replacing screws with bolts and a steel plate to reinforce the bracket. Is this feasble, and is...

I agree that it's the fridge cooling fan, but when our switch is on, the fan always is on. It doesn't cycle on and off. Is it supposed to?

Returned the one to Home Depot. Found a Frost King model at True Value. Seemed more like the old one than the M-D brand everyone else seems to carry. Of course we did have to trim the length and drill holes.

JackandJanet, thanks for the additional information. Now we'll know more about it when we call around.

Thanks KnottyRig. We'll do a little more calling around with that added info.

Got up on the roof yesterday, removed the shroud, and blew out everything. No improvement in the temp of the air coming out of the A/C. I do have a question. My husband called around a little to see what it would cost to have it serviced and what they did. They made it sound like they did pretty...

KnottyRig, I'm not using an extension cord, at least by my definition. The trailer is plugged into our home 20 amp outlet using the long heavy power supply cord that comes with the trailer. It's attached in a compartment on the outside of the trailer. The A/C has it's own cord that I pull out of...

Thanks Bob. I was kind of wondering about that. Never been on the roof before.

Thanks, KnottyRig for all the info. Blowing off the outside is next on my list. The 81 inside the trailer is just the air temp early in the morning, no air on. We only ran the A/C for around 10 or 15 minutes for the initial test. The cord and plug we plug in for the A/C, in the front of our...

I cleaned them dry with a very soft tooth brush, then rinsed them. They are drying as I send this note. Shouldn't take long, it's very warm in the garage.

Finally Plugged the A/C in today. Finally got to the A/C today. Plugged the trailer cord into a 20 amp outlet in the garage. I know everyone says it needs to be 30 amp, but the fuse in the trailer is 20 amp and we had nothing else operating. Ran the A/C for about 15 minutes. The temp in the...

Thanks, Jack.

Thank you all for the tips. We should be able to check out the temp on the A/C tomorrow morning. I'm glad to know the roof will support a person walking around on it. I think both of our blowers are too strong, but I do have a small canister vac that works on DC that I've been meaning to locate...

Yes, we stopped by Home Depot this morning and found one that we think will work. Will check it out tomorrow morning. Too hot out right now.

Thank you. We have the Duo-Therm Penguin 600 series that is original with the trailer. I think I'll take a look at the filters etc. Tomorrow. Not too sure about getting on the roof. Does DH go right on the roof, or put something on the surface first?

Thanks. I guess we'll plug it in and see what the temp is. Too bad we didn't have our gauge with us on the trip.

We just returned from New Mexico where we needed the A/C most of the time. It was around 95 to 100 degrees outside during the day. (Although it would cool down at night we kept the fan running all night because of the little Chihuahua next door that barked about every 15 minutes! That didn't...

The weather strip on the bottom of the door has a tear in it and I would like to replace it. It looks like I should be able to just unscrew the aluminum strip holding the vinyl and put on a new one, but I'm having a little difficulty finding one just like it. I think I found one here...

One more thought..... We came up with maybe a common thread for both incidents. Both times that the batteries overcharged and either exploded or leaked, the batteries were older. This last set was 3 1/2 years old. The warranty was only 30 months. We're in Arizona and batteries don't last very...

Yes, the batteries were deep cycle. We purchased two new Interstate batteries from Costco today and installed them. The mobile RV person we have used on other issues came over and checked out the batteries and charger. He says that everything is working fine right now with shore power plugged...
