Good info. I added the dedicated 30 amp fuse and it is currently running a 8ga wire, and according to the refer data tag on the outside shows the 12 volt heater draws 11 amps. So a 8ga wire should be fine, and I'm with Tomrupp that 12v for driving, and propane while at camping, and the 120v...

Most indeed. Now... How many amps would the refer heater pull? I see that it is (now was) hooked up to a 30 amp circuit breaker, but that was also in hooked with the main interior power wire (red wire). The blue wire is now going to get it's own circuit fuse on the new wiring box. Considering...

Well dang, you're right. Goes into the Refer's heating box, that's where the 12 volt mode gets it's power from. Thank you.

Hi All, we're back! I got an odd one here. Observe the blue wire I am pointing at in The first picture. This is not, I repeat, NOT the trailer brake wire. The trailer brake wire is in the second picture I am pointing at. This mysterious blue wire comes off the main forward circuit breaker...

Did your product from Home Depot work for your entry door? Ours didn't have any there when we purchased it. We've been shoving a pool noodle in it which helps somewhat but not 100%

This looks amazing and we currently only have an emergency flat of water in there. One Question - How do you dump the melted ice water?

Hey, that looks exactly like my '88, wire colors and all. I found that that half of the wires are for the driving lights, 3 are for the internal lights and power, and 2 are power and ground. I actually tossed the whole thing and got a 7-way junction box, and butt spliced the 3 inside lighting...

When it comes to electrically powered objects, remember Occam's Razor: The simplest reason is usually the answer. Don't go tearing out walls just yet.... So my '88 doesn't come with a music radio, but I assume it's in the top half? I would check your fuses first, then look at common fail...

Bumdum, tiss! Anyways... The trailer converter is the brown box under the bed, has the fuses for the accessories, and connects to both the 12 volt batteries and the 120 volt shore power, right? Basically a rectifier, transformer, battery charger, and power distribution block in one package...

Heck, there is some good info here. I learned stuff. If I was gifted AGM batteries (thanks dad), do I have to do anything special or just plug-and-play to the solor?

A slight re-topic but... You had a '89, I have a '88 HiLo. Any advice for care or tricks?

Sure, what do you want to know? Devices, how things hook up, voltages and amperage and ohms oh my, way to run wires?

Yay, works for me too! Thank you Admins.

Lol, a 8 year old post brought back to life. I will say this, as a mechanic, to anyone else who had this question. It is NOT how big the engine is when pulling heavy trailers. It is the transmission, the TV's suspension, and the combined braking force. You can put a CAT 3406 diesel engine in...

Excellent ideas, thank you. Just to keep thinking, what about drilling though the entire roof and securing the brackets with long bolts and washers? I really like the big bracket that F4mnect made, but I can't afford that. With the instal kit, it came with little Z shaped brackets about 2...

So my wife and I did a dummy. I accept equel blame. When we where buying our trailer and inspecting the inside, Lizard put a pot on the stove, blah blah blah and I lowered the top down without checking that one spot and didn't realize there was an iron pot sitting on the stove. Yes, that was...

Do you know what sizes the studs are in width? They're almost always 1/2 inch, but sometimes they can be 9/16 inch.

Hi all, So I'm adding some solar to my "new" (older then me) HiLo. I got a pair of 100w glass panels, plus the install kit (charger, cables, connectors, ect) so I think I have everything. And I'm not worried about the weight of the panels, they're very light and I have the old wood roof; I've...

THAT'S an idea. They sell them at truck parts, a cable with an end of a brass stud that you attach to the frame or battery box. Here we go...

Ah, drat, a pity. Well, if anyone in CA wants to meet, shoot me a PM. I'm Bay Area, so rather central.
