Say, thanks for the tour and your idea of shutting off power generator when filling up really makes sense. Thanks

That's not what he said. He said you should shut off any propane-powered refrigerator you may have in your RV prior to pulling into a gas station. This is due to the fact that propane-powered refrigerators have an open flame on their back side just inside the vents. If you had a large gasoline spill it's possible that the spill would produce enough gasoline vapors to be ignited by the refrigerator's propane flame. But even though he didn't say so, any generators you might have running when entering a gas station should probably also be shut off before pumping gas. This is why you are required to shut off your car's engine before pumping gas. It's a potential source of ignition.

I realize you no longer have it, but a few questions about your solar: How long will that frig. run on your battery/inverter? What brand inverter? Was it loud? Did you bolt the solar panels thru the roof? Any issues with the ceiling liner inside? thanks for the links to FB Group

Hi Lee. Thanks for watching. We ran the fridge 24/7 for two years on solar. No issues. We live in Florida and had plenty of sunshine here. The inverter was a Power Tech 1500 watt pure sine wave inverter. The solar panels were bolted on with expandable rubber grommets, think they were mollies. I used Dicor around the grommets to seal them. No leaks from the solar panels. Hope this helps. Good luck, Lee. I'm going to add a link a video of the Tour of our Solar System. It shows the inverter and the grommet we used.

I saw that you have what looks like a regular extension chord hooked to your shore line. How does that work? How does that not trip the circuit breaker? Do you have the extension chord connected to a 30 amp outlet? I tried to connect my Roadtreck to an outside outlet on my house, and it tripped a circuit breaker in my Roadtreck twice! Needless to say, I stopped doing that for fear that I would damage something. Wow! It would be nice to plug into my house! But, I can’t!

I have a 1995 190 Versatile Roadtrek and I'm debating between a hard wired solar system like you have here, or buying a jackery 1000 watt with a portable suitcase solar to charge it. Which would you recommend? Thank you for your great videos! They're very helpful!
@LuckyDawgProductions
@LuckyDawgProductions 3 жыл бұрын
I've not had a Jackery, so I honestly can't say about it. It would be nice to have a Jackery, but it must be kept charged, and you need solar or electricity to charge it, or may be able to charge it going down the road. So that is a consideration. Hard wired solar is nice, as long as you have sun to keep it charged. We liked our set up. There are so many variables, that it is really your preference and price. Good luck to you. Have fun with your Roadtrek. They are awesome.

Thank you for a very helpful explanation of your solar system and 110v electric fridge. What would you suggest for solar panel wattage, given current products, to run a 110v fridge? Could a small electric 110v heater also be used? Any preferences for current solar panel mfgrs? Like you, I would prefer to abandon propane. 96D190P Roadtrek.
@LuckyDawgProductions
@LuckyDawgProductions 5 жыл бұрын
I would have to do a litte research on the newer solar. I would get at least 200 watts your battery bank is just as important. A electric heater would draw a lot of power. A solar system takes some figureing out pending on what you will be running.

If you join FMCA & Roadtrek International, you'll learn all sorts of information from experienced Roadtrekkers. One trick is to increase tire pressure to 65/80. Another is to get a good alignment. I have a '97 Dodge 170 with too much steering play, and both those helped significantly.
@leewilkinson8328
@leewilkinson8328 3 жыл бұрын
If you have a Dodge from the late 90's, there is a TSB with new alignment specifications that should help. The TSB is 19-002-01 REV. A. Caster is set to +3.5 degrees, Camber to 0 degrees, and total Toe-in to 0.25 degrees. I had an alignment just done at a good shop, and they tried to get as close as they could. I also switched out the steering box for a Red Head rebuilt one. Expensive, but I think it helps. I still get some wander, but it's better than it has been in many years. I have a 1999 Versatile.
