So back to my original problem. When running on propane I have a flame. Sometimes it cools the fridge, sometimes it doesn't. What's the difference? Does the burner have a "pilot" mode and a full...

I would recommend against the rear bumper mount. I thought that sounded like a great idea too when we had a PU but realized the extra weight takes too much weight off the hitch and can make the...

Yes you are right. I shouldn't post before coffee I guess. I still agree with Handy Bob that for small systems you get more bang for the buck buying an additional panel over paying for the MPPT. But...

I found a little bag at camping world to cover it up with. I also put the 7-pin round plug up inside it and pull the drawstring to keep it there. Hopefully it helps with corrosion on that too.

Thanks Roy Ken. Yes there is an antenna, although I think this is the first time I have had it cranked up haha. And the tv is a newer one - it was scanning for both analog and digital channels.

Help! How do I watch TV?

Newbie question because we don't tend to watch TV when we're out camping. We have a 2010 25RKS. We have watched the occasional dvd but never broadcast tv. We don't have cable, trying to use the roof...
