    HELP -- Dometic RM2193 vs. RM2193L -- is there a difference?

    My WAG is that the "L" model has a left hand door as shipped instead of a "normal" right hand door. The parts list for the RM2193 has both LH and RH hinges available.

    Help w/ a power converter, please

    Have you looked at this? You would be replacing your existing fuse block and circuit breaker box with your new convertor. That is, the WFCO 8700 series serves all 3 purposes: 110V protection/supply, 12V protection/supply, and battery maintenance. Honestly, if you are not comfortable installing...

    Camper and gear database

    I am looking for general input on that and I had one important thing I was hoping we could all discuss: What makes a lightweight camper? What should the maximum weight be on a camper considered light weight? I'm no expert, but IMHO, a lightweight camper could be pegged to half the load...

    Heater Operation

    Hey Guys, I'm having the exact same problem w/ my furnace. I have a '93 Ranger II that I recently bought. It had the main external wire set that goes from the axillary battery to the house electrical bank cut so I did a test w/ my fully charged new AGM battery. Both sets of ceiling lights...

    Heater Operation

    What model furnace? Depending on the model... Check battery voltage...if the voltage is low, the fan does not turn fast enough to generate enough airflow to tell the circuit board to open the gas valve and try to light. Insect infestation (wasp nest, etc. in the combustion chamber or intake...

    Ventilation and CO2

    If opening a side window, make it the side opposite the furnace, to keep from drafting the exhaust through the camper. This is assuming a vented furnace, not the Mr. Heater type. If using a Mr. Heater (or other non-vented heater) by all means open windows and vents. Better yet, don't sleep...

    How Level for the fridge?

    If the fridge runs on LP, it needs to be very close to level, as it needs gravity to operate. If it is a 12V/110V only, up to about 30 degrees from level as these use a compressor.

    FWC and ATC Comparison (what are the differences ?)

    Hi NJTaco, you'll see an ATC Bobcat soon on the east coast, but down south in Florida. My ATC should be delivered by Oct/Nov. Just let me know if you are coming down and want to have a look at it ;) My father just bought a condo down there some where...I'm to visit this winter, I hope. I'll...

    FWC and ATC Comparison (what are the differences ?)

    Stan, The comparison helps those of us who have not seen both campers. (Or either, in my case.) The current version comes across much better than the first, and appears less biased. Not that it was intentionally biased the first time, but now it "reads" better. On a related note, you both...

    how much rear overhang is OK?

    the truck has a 500kg limit (1200pound, 1/2 ton?) sticker on the back. still need springs/air bags? with either size camper? the campers are 800 pounds + gear + people to a max of 1200pound? The only way to answer that is to weigh the truck with the camper on it, loaded for a trip. Don't...

    how much rear overhang is OK?

    I do not think it will be possible to keep the Center of Gravity forward...there is not much bed forward of the rear axle centerline. (Maybe 18 inches?) The front of the truck will be so light it could be dangerous, even with the double cab and the oil burner up there. If you could resolve the...

    Siding Repair?

    A porch light comes to mind for the outside...can you get a wire to it? On the inside, is there contact paper available that matches? Or a nice cedar lined closet kit?

    30A fuse blowing (truck to camper circuit)

    What you are experiencing is "normal" when trying to charge a "large" bank of batteries that are capable of a fast recharge rate. Do NOT increase the fuse or CB size without matching the guage wires, both positive and ground. How discharged are you letting the batteries get? That is, how many...

    Option Regrets?

    Bob, When you say chimney effect is it just a matter of installing a fan that will draw hot air out through the upper part of the out side grill? I would love to see a pic of a properly installed exhaust fan.....Anyone Check out this PDF from the Norcold site...

    Option Regrets?

    camelracer, This spring while installing my furnace I had to remove the frig to run the gas line and to access the wiring hidden behind the insulation blanket. There is very little insulation on the sides of the compartment and none on the top. The manufactures spec.s say the frig box should...
