I put a lot of work to set up for boondocking, since in California, virtually all state parks do not have hookups (and the few that do are booked solid). I got 200w solar and external tanks and pumps...

Removing side mount air conditioner

My Jayco 185RB has a side mount A/C unit (instead of roof mount). I have not had any of the leakage issues others claim, I even checked it right after driving through a driving rainstorm, it was dry...

Yea, thats not bad, I had thought about it. I went with a big 30amp DTDP switch to flip the entire circuit over, and to kill the 110v charger at the same time. Like you, I checked, was told there was...

I've been thinking on that, my RV is right by the front walkway, and the other light on the porch is also LED.

On the other hand, the trailer light, with its unique "grid of lights" look, seems to...

Yes, in fact there is no way the two bolt mount thing could possibly be sound unless you add lots of washers, because the ring on the bottom of the propane bottle does not match the frame...

I think you just won best kludge of the day, thanks.

I'm going to use that tonight. I put the bottle back after filling it, but the two bolt thing is just awful. The tank rocks back and forth, and...

propane tank hold down

Hi,

I wondered what other users have done to improve the propane tank holddowns on the jayco light trailers. My TT (185RB) only has one propane tank. I don't want to have to take the entire TT...

Nother update:

I worked out a switching arrangement for the inverter to wire into the panel. First, the panel takes the 30A shore power and divides into branch circuits with breakers. I did some...

Lets see:

1. I haven't decided yet. The roof is still plenty clear and those RV solar panels are not big (47x21). I think a 200w setup looks good.

2. I think I would run my TV on propane if I...

I don't believe it works as you are thinking. The lights indicate each 1/3 of the tank is crossed (on mine it is 1/4s). Thus, that last light
