    Battery Wiring

    Hello. It is not letting me create my own thread, so I thought I'd post here. I have 4 100-AH lithium batteries in parallel, and I've been learning as I go. I would like to post a very rough diagram (Excel is terrible) of what I have designed. Please let me know where I am going right or wrong...

    Grey vs Black tank valve levers?

    2022 22MLE. I lost both of my dump valve pull levers on the highway from the screws coming loose. I had to buy new ones and now can’t remember which one is which. Since you should always drain black first, which one is it? The valve near the back of the trailer (right) or the one on the left...

    I have a 2018 2500RL and I’ve ran my hot water heater on electric with no water in it so it looks like I need to replace the element. I’ve looked at the back of the hot water heater and it looks like I need to remove the hot water heater for the repair. Is this correct and does anyone have...

    Flaky Bluetooth Connection

    Our RV has the One Control system (panel and phone app) and it uses Bluetooth. It has worked very well until mid-way through this trip we're on in Alaska. For about a month we noticed it started having trouble keeping the connection on the phone. I like to use it to put the awning out among...

    Just purchased a 2019 Imagine XLS 21 BHE and have questions.

    The prior owner removed the outside kitchen/refrigerator section. He did give me parts of it and the pull out stove. But it looks like he cut up alot of it. What he did was he pulled out the bunks and made it like a small office area with a desk counter. So, my questions are. a. Is there...

    Tips for big 12v fridge securing items

    I’ve about had it with the interior of this fridge, but I can’t change it so I need some tips on dealing with it. No matter how I organize stuff, stuff moves around and hits the door shelves breaking them. In the evenings I glue them back together. The removable main shelves no matter if there’s...

    Board for Dometic WH-6GEA water heater

    Greetings, I am trying to find a replacement PC board for my Dometic WH-6GEA water heater. Initially, I thought the board was the 91365 and I bought one. When I removed the existing board, I noticed that it is actually a 93305. They look identical, however, the mounting screw hole pattern is...

    Renogy vs. LiTime

    So I just replaced my 2 AGMs with a new LiTime 230 Ah battery with the intent of taking advantage of the user mode vs. the built in Li mode on my Renogy Rover 40A controller. Problem is that they use different terms for charging and discharging modes, so I can't really correlate them well enough...

    The Lippert chassis saga continues

    I plotted the measurements taken by the LCI tech on the LCI axle hanger measurement procedure to show the impact on the axles. If the measurements are correct (and I really want a truck shop to measure via laser now), you can see the stress on both the hangers and equalizers. I've exaggerated...

    2024 22RBE Stock Suspension Squeaky

    Hey all, as stated in my subject line, my stock suspension tends to be squeaky. I don't believe there are any bushings of any type in the hangers or equalizer. Is it ok to put a little WD40 in them? If not, what do you recommend I use?
