That works till you hit the bed. Bed clearance is needed and priority followed by leveling.

Good catch. I reread the post and sounds like he is wanting to change from overslung to underslung, which would drop trailer height.

Correct, I failed to mention that. I don't recall what the spring pack thicknesses are. Could vary well be 3 or even more.

Over slung vs under slung. You would not notice a difference if you changed to over slung. You'd gain the same height as your axle diameter. Likely 3". A lot if not most RV trailers a built over...

I use Lego blocks under all jacks. I stack with an inch or two clearance on the rear jacks. But yes, auto level can have wheels off the ground. This happens to us most of the time as we camp in state...

Looking on Amazon at various 12v and 120v fans. Looking at maybe something like this mounted on the slide box ceiling to push air out and draw cooler air in, hopefully. Not pleasant on the eye but...

We have a dresser opposite of the bed. Not very deep so not much space for a fan. Going to try the local Ace Hardware store to see what for fans they may have. We do have the factory TV on the...

Ours is the same, we don't get any benefits no matter where we point the discharge vents. They are much higher than the slide box, so they don't blow into the box at all.

Bed slideout fan ideas

Hello all,
Has anyone come up with a good way to circulate air in the bed slideout box?

Our master bedroom has the typical bed slide where the upper part of your body is inside the slide. Well...

I always fine tune after the slides are out. The my two slides are on the same side and tend to tilt the trailer that way. Also the jacks sink a bit. I auto level, put slides out and fine tune as...

Solar systems are much more expensive than generators. Just the battery bank alone can cost as much or more than an Onan 5500.

I'm looking at going solar and the rack batteries alone are 4500.00...

Correct, pretty much any RV genset I've worked on was like that. It balances out the two fields. Both fields are in phase with each other so you can combine them.

As long as the generator front air inlet gets fresh air and not recirculated air, that would work. But with the open bottom, recirculation would be likely unless the compartment vent is right near...

Yes. Your prep should have a junction box. In there you will find the wiring going to your transfer switch. Since a 3600 will only have one line breaker you will connect both your trailer 120v hots...

Air intake in the front, you will likely need a vented compartment door. Since it's in the front, it would need a deflector with the vent to keep road spray out of the generator. Check the install...

That's unfortunate! I tend to remember them more of a disposable genset. But this was 15 or so years ago. I got out of the generator field for the power plant field. So much larger gensets. Lol Did...
