I know they are. I can’t remember what the name of it is but there is a specific fan out there design for this specific reason in line I’ve got one on my solar system at the farm. it’s been on there for four or five years and it takes care of the problem because trust me I get plenty of power...

Hi Jack, yeah I will keep everybody posted. I wouldn’t be so concerned about it but my refrigerator has a leak as I smell ammonia and it cost 500+ dollars just to get the dog gone thing at least the back in part and I it put it in. Also the refrigerator door is tweaked and is not shutting...

I’m also not running the propane powered/electric refrigerator off of solar there’s no way you can do that very safely I plan on running a DC compressor refrigerator probably one of the portable ones they don’t draw a whole lot of power but yet you still need to have the solar to keep your...

I realize that. You are assuming that all I was going to be doing is having batteries and nothing to charge them up are you not. I have 300 W of solar panels to put on it with a planned at least another three if not 400 W more panels going on the roof. At this point I’m going to make the...

I understand having multiple batteries can cause extra work, but when we boondock a lot and don't want to run generator I need a bit more power. plus wanting to run a dc only frig. as far as mounting on the tongue with 4 6volt batteries. that is an extra 300 pounds with the box even with a...

But there doesn’t seem to be enough room to put four batteries on the tongue

Well I’ve thought about doing that as like could make a lower battery box but it makes it a little bit lower there in the front in plus as a bit more weight and I am eventually one day I have for 6 V batteries for more run time or at least more storage so it’s not gonna do me any good there I’m...

Jack, did you put your batterys on the tongue? I assume you have more than one if you have several panels?

ok after looking at the wardrobe for hanging cloths at the back end i find the vent that goes out thru the roof. im not going to be using that area for hanging clothes so i would think it would be a good place to put batteries and vent them out thru the vent to the roof. can put a cover over...

has anyone built a battery box on the inside of there camper and then vented it out somehow? Im wanting to put at least 2 6 volt deep cycle batteries on board and inside under the dining room seat seems to be the best spot but want to vent them out for any off gassing. not enough room on the...

Well my wife and I just picked up a 1988 hi-Lo funchaser. Other than a good cleaning. It’s in decent shape. This is the one I had asked about that had gone thru a flash flood and had around 9” water in it. Floor is good and solid as I checked it over both top and bottom and have not found any...

It’s a bit of a drive for me to get there to look at it. But I’m not too concerned about it. I definitely will not tow it with it in the up position. I was also wondering if a couple high lift jacks could lift it up just enough to get it off the safety rod and then it would come down. Push...

Yeah I kind of figure that the furnace refrigerator and possibly water heater may be damaged somehow. Nice thing about it is I’ve got an almost brand new water heater from my other camper that I am limping along with can go in there also soak in the furnace refrigerator is a bit big but I’m not...

I’m a newbie here as far as the Hilo campers go. Couple years ago I build a teardrop camper but wasn’t big enough for all three of us. I’ve got a regular 22 foot RV at my in-laws farm but it’s not in real good shape and I don’t like towing it so I’m looking at getting a Hilo camper. I found...
