I agree. 10 days is all I was getting before the dead battery was being damaged by low voltage. I added a FULL disconnect, replaced the batteries and have had no problems since then.

Yes, that’s it. 3/4 of a can gave me plenty to do the entire front cap.

When your done trying to fix it, just spray some SC1 on it and it will hide the oxidation. Kinda gives it the wet look. Works great on my front cap, and most of the bugs just rinse off.

Just getting ready for another trip and cleaned the bugs of the cap from the last trip.
With the SC1, most of the bugs just rinsed right off. Still can’t notice any of the fading, I’m very happy....

In the last 30 years and 5 different rigs, I think I only had one pipe crack from freezing. We spent about 15 weekends a year at ski resorts all the way down to -20f.

X3, I’m just using my blackstone 22” on the stand. It works best when level. My bumper BBQ mount is never level, ever.

Should I wire my new 12V fridge directly to my house battery?

I agree also, go to the converter/fuse panel, not the battery. Best to have all your fuses in one location.

I also like having a full battery disconnect between the battery and any loads.

The hand controls are on the fan. I’ll probably make a stick with rubber boot on it for the few times she needs to turn it on when I’m not there.

I have a Jayco Eagle. My wiring was behind the center clearance light in the back. Removed the 2 screws, pulled the light away and the camera wiring was taped to the clearance light wiring.

Could you add a 1” ring to give you more depth. Could be made from wood or if you know someone with a 3D printer ( like my son) they could make a custom one for you.

X2 on the 4/0 cable for a 3000 watt inverter. It’s expensive but needed to wire it properly. You can order it online by the foot.
