The furnace diffuser in our 17RK is under the bed in a cubby. Half the heat would go into the cubby, the other half into the camper. I copied 01tundra's idea and the results are shown below. Now all the heat is going into the camper.

I installed a digital T-stat while I was at it.

Decided to buy hazard tape instead of band aids!

I am a safety consultant. I even put orange tape on the awning support. Alas, my wife enjoys the 'bong, owwwwww' sounds as I head my head on the Hummingbird awning support. Did manage to do only once during last use. Wife was amazed.

I found out that hazard tape doesn't work if you don't have eyes in the back of your head

Actually, I find the constant visual reminder does almost give me eyes in the back of my head!

The idiot lites for battery status are worthless. For decent battery life you want to be sure the battery doesn't discharge below ~12V. It's easy to plug a "cigarette lighter" meter into the 12V auxiliary port. I did, and it works pretty well.

But when solar charging or draining the battery, it's nice to know the actual current supplied/used. I installed this gadget and am quite happy with it. Lets me monitor voltage, charge and discharge current, and Ah.

The instructions are TERRIBLE chinese-english, and the cable supplied is only ~6 feet. But it does work. Check my Amazon 3 star review for more. This Victor unit is better, I'm sure, but $200 vs $40 was too steep for me.
