    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Dometic RM 2193 problem - flame puffing out around burner

    I also have a Dometic 2193 3-way. Last year spiders made a nest in burner which reduced the efficiency so after watch the mechanic solve it with a compressor, it motivated me to get a compressor to blow them out. This year the issue is different. When lighting the unit it the gas lights for a...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Is there is a thermostat for below 45F?

    Great Vic-- How did you mount it? I see only a single screw mount vs a panel mount.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Is there is a thermostat for below 45F?

    After reading exhaustive posts re these thermostats, I'm going with the suggestions above, the non digital honeywell CT50K to avoid some of the issues others have had with digital thermostats. Our digital Emerson from ATC has been fine but we want to sleep at lower temps in the winter. I might...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Is there is a thermostat for below 45F?

    Thanks so much but before I order this thermostat a few questions: 1. The specs for the thermostat you all are suggesting is 230V. Any issues with it being used on a 12V system? 2. I'm assuming it will wire the same with the two wires used for my existing 45F Emerson thermostat. 3. My Emerson...

    We have an ATC Bobcat with an Emerson heat only thermostat for the heater (2wire). It only goes down to 45. Does anyone know of replacement thermostat that will go down to 35F?

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West roof cargo baskets

    We have an ATC bobcat and are looking into roof cargo baskets to attach on our yakima racks with roof sliders. Marty at ATC discouraged us from using our 27 lb thule cargo box b/c of possible damage to the seal on the pop up on wash board roads plus the extra lift required to pop up. So were...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Quikfire

    I'm interested in the quikfire but not sure if the legs fold in and how compact it will be and how sturdy the firepan is. The website doesn't show too much detail. I'm looking for something lightweight and compatible. I've consider the ammo box fire pits and saw this one...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Two questions about Gas can holders

    We have an AT gas can holder and we carry a 20 L nato gas can. They sell two different types of straps for Nato or Scepter cans. Does anyone know if there is a water jug that works a Nato strap/system. The Scepter can doesn't work with the nato strap. Also when carrying extra gas I've been...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Piezo replacement

    We have a dometic 2193- 3 way and piezo igniter is giving out. Is it best to replace the igniter and wire or just piezo which are cheap. Seems like a hassle to get it from dometic, so has anyone just gotten one from Amazon? piezo igniter 292.3024.20B as listed in parts manual.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Should we take a pop up on White Rim road

    We have a 4-day White Rim bike trip and the only vehicle we can bring for a SAG wagon is our Nissan Frontier with an ATC Bobcat. We’re debating whether to keep the camper on it or take it off for the first time. It’s 100 miles of 4x4 in late October with 4 bike riders and 1 driver. The pros for...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Fresh Water Drain Leaking

    My plastic one got stiff because it was dirty from road dust. I removed it and cleaned it by soaking brushing with an artist brush and now the valve turns better. I'm thinking about applying some silicon grease (better for plastic) but maybe it will attract more dirt?? I'm going to try a cork in...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Dometic 3 way cooling problems

    An RV mechanic checked it out and he blew out the chimney with a compressor/high pressure hose (more than what's in a can). Small white spider nests came out. It still worked poorly for a week and then it started working like it did when it was new (back 32 F or lower). So spider nests were the...

    Follow up-- One of the wires was loose on the battery. A reminder that it is often the simplest solution. Should have checked it first.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Solar Controller Clicking

    We have a Renology Solar Controller. I've never noticed this before but it now seems to click a lot (every 10 seconds) especially in the morning and evening. My thought is this is when the sun is barely charging the system. Is this normal?

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West ATC PVC material needs reshaping

    Marty suggested using a hair dryer and I did and it is working to "train the material" into the correct spot. There is some abrasion on the pinched material so it seems to be worth the effort.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Dometic 3 way cooling problems

    Thanks I'm going to leave it to the experts. Of course any certified Dometic dealer is booked until the fal--onse said Decemberl. So I'm working with a smaller RV mechanic in a few weeks who thinks the issue is with the cooling fins inside the fridge. Maybe its what 57Pan said a vapor lock from...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West ATC PVC material needs reshaping

    Oh yeah the bungees are tight and I've even tried using river cam straps to tighten more to pull the material inward and it didn't help. Also this pinching is only over a 1-2' section on the front left and right of the camper. I'll call Marty and see what he suggests.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West ATC PVC material needs reshaping

    RE a photo of the pinching that ski3pin asked for. Mine looks exactly like jimjxsn's photo. You can see where the material is starting to wear where it rubs on the unpopped roof.

    1 yr old Dometic Refrigerator 3 way Model 2193 cooling problems. We’re having some cooling issues on 120V and propane: This spring there were some odd smells coming from the inside the camper and possibly from the fridge area but no sign of any leakages. 120 volt (shore powered): Seems to cool...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West ATC PVC material needs reshaping

    We have a bobcat and the gray PVC material is getting pinched at the seal when popping down. We're using flexible plastic buddy knives to tuck this material in these spots mostly towards the front. However, I'm wondering if we could use an iron (on low heat) to reshape this material so it less...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Side mount for small raft frame

    I took the above recommendations and bought an 80/20 rack with brackets and vertical rails from saltmade.co With the small cataraft frame on the vehicle it sticks out 10-3/4" from side of the truck with a total vehicle width of 7'-1/2". So it seems legal and solid. The only issue we'll have to...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Using a pro audio adj speaker stand to raise your roof

    I just bought the On Stage Power Crank-up SS8800B+ speaker stand from Amazon. It arrived with a torn box and no instructions inside. Most concerning is that every 6" while cranking or using the drill it has a momentary place of resistance. It might be getting slightly better each up/down but...
