Are you also upgrading to lithium? If you are sticking with FLA then I'd leave both chargers connected. You can even use them simultaneously. If you're upgrading the batteries then you may want to...

You're a genius, thanks! As soon as you mentioned the switch, a light bulb went on in my head (ha!) and I decided to go investigate that more thoroughly. Seems like the odds are in favor of the one...

Also -- voltage elsewhere in the trailer is 13.2V, so it's not a system-wide issue.

Fridge light voltage problem

It appeared the fridge bulb was burnt out. Pulled the bulb, it looks okay, but that doesn't guarantee anything so I got a new bulb. Went with LED. It just barely lights up, very dim. So I got out...

Yeah, we really like the 24BH. My wife was in love with it, the only thing that got her to feel any doubt was the lack of any sofa. But like you said, the lounger offsets that a bit. She...

I've got two-foot-itis and then some

Looking for some thoughts here...


We bought our X213 four years ago, and we are pretty happy with it. Me, wife, two kids (8 & 10), medium size dog. It works, though it's definitely a little...

I don't think there's much you can do to fix a peeling decal except trim it to try and slow it down. Might need to have a new decal applied. If it were me I'd call Jayco and ask their opinion.

So it's been about a year now since we bought our trailer and all the extra subscriptions we got are up for renewal. Everything from Good Sam roadside assistance to a subscription to Trailer Life. ...

Fuel economy, and me-too because several competing trucks have small, efficient diesel options.

To be fair, the Titan XD weighs as much as a 3/4 ton pickup, despite a payload no better than a 1/2...

I don't think you're missing anything; I'm only aware of the one low point drain on my X213. I can't imagine why there would be a need for more.

We trimmed the topper length with kitchen shears, didn't worry about the width, it's close enough that it just squeezes in. Haven't bought a whole new mattress because I was out of the country for a...

Three nights on a single battery? That's better than I'd have guessed for most people, probably puts a fair amount of wear on the battery though. Generator comes in handy, huh? :)

Depends on how much extra stuff you want to throw in the truck and how many passengers you will be toting around. It is for sure too big for a 150/1500. The bump up to a 250/2500 is pretty dramatic...

A typical choice would be something in the 2000W range. Inexpensive, quiet, capable of running most things on the RV, still light enough to lug around without much difficulty. If you need more, get...

My advice...

1) You will reorganize repeatedly. Be thoughtful about any semi-permanent modifications you make for storage until you are pretty sure it's something you want to stick with.

I don't know what fridge you have in that unit, but I know Norcold says in the owner's manual that the fridge burners might not operate above 5500 feet, and they recommend using electric power.
