Thank you for watching. That soundd more like an issue with the AC unit its self. Luckily they are cheap and easy to replace. Just make sure to drill the drain pan in a low spot if you replace it with a new one.

Thank you for watching. I ran the wire for the thermostat inside the wall between the gally and cabin area then through the cabinet on the passenger side then installed it on the forward face of the cabinet.

All right thank you very much for all the ideas and videos and thank you for taking the time to respond to the questions

@@normanlachaine9349 ypur welcome Sir. We try to respind to all questions.

Thank you for watching. Sailrite has a lot of good tutorial videos on awnings.

Neither unit has VSR built into it. If you add an additional battery make sure it is identical to the internal battery and at the same state of charge as the internal battery. Length of charge time is the one drawback of 12v power stations.

I agree, the price is salty but the quality components they used caused that. If it just had blue tooth monitoring it would have been really slick!

It should be close to the same.

Its been doing fine under normal driving conditions. Its designed for marine applications so the unit is pretty well sealed. On our Bushwhacker its protected by the frame really well.

Thank you sir. Hope it works well for you.

Still working great!

Very glad we got the heads up. The area we were camping in looked like a bomb went off the next day!

I don't have one drawn up but drop us am email and I can scribble something down for you.

Hello, I am also curious about the wiring. I am considering running the power from the brake controller directly to my 12v battery. Is this possible?

We were in Ireland in 2018 and loved it! Have fun!

@@adventuresofthememorymakers thanks appreciate it, enjoy your travels too!!!!

@@wallywo7392 you going to be around Dinkle or Lahench? Loved that area

@@adventuresofthememorymakers we are doing the Wild Atlantic Way, a route covering the west coast, I'm unsure of those locations. Were England we visited Scotland last year it was great, thoroughly recommend it.USA is on the bucket list, but it's so vast I simply wouldn't know where to start.

Thank you very much Sir. Have a lot more to make, just hard to find time since we started The Wizard of Modz camper repair and modifications.

Check out the description for the parts I used.

Thank you

That's awesome! Enjoy!

Thank you for taking the time to watch. You will want to put your pump between your storage tank and your water heater. The pump will suck water out of your storage tank and then force it under pressure through the water heater then to your shower head.

@@adventuresofthememorymakers I thought that but wanted to make sure. Thank u

Thank you for watching the video and glad that it helped out!

On the tow vehicle I added a new lead from the battery that goes through a 30 amp resettable circuit breaker to a 12-volt relay that I can control from inside the cab. I pull power off the ignition side so it can only be on when the truck is running to run that relay. From the relay I ran a new wire back to the 7-way plug on the vehicle and tied into the 12 volt lead in the 7-way plug. Then I merely attached that wire on the camper to my 12-volt power converter. That way there is no direct connection between the vehicle electrical system and the lithium battery in the camper

@@adventuresofthememorymakers Thanks for the info. So to be clear, is the boost converter wired between the lithium battery and a 7-way plug or is it between the tow vehicle battery and the 7-way plug?

@@michigander58 between the 7 way plug and the selector switch for the solar controller input in the tongue box.

@@adventuresofthememorymakers That's what I thought. Thank you. Love your videos.

@@michigander58 thank you for taking the time to watch them!

Yes

They are a little different to ride. You have to be aware of where the pedals are at for the rear Rider if you're in front. Most of the time they position the pedals 90° between the front and the rear and you need to keep that in mind if you're trying to lean the bike in a tight turn. Your pedals in the front may be clear the ground but you may drag the rear pedals which makes things a bit interesting. The rear Rider needs to trust the rider in front because they do not have any brakes back in the back. Took my wife a little while to get used to that fact I was not going to kill her. But we have a lot of fun on it now. The electric add-on really makes a big difference. It's just so hard to Pedal that tandem up a hill. I can ease in the electric power to help us pedal up hills making it so much more enjoyable.

Thank you for watching Sir. If you click on the description then click on the more, it will take you to the product links. The manual controller is the first item listed. 32.99 on Amazon.

Thank you for watching. The demand was so great that we started a business doing the mod, The Wizard of Modz.

Thank you sir. I still can't bring myself to get another puppy yet but Cindy is really pushing the issue. Everyone needs to know how to weld. The titanium 125 for less than $150 is a great tool to have on hand. Highly recommend you get a new ground clamp for it before you even turn it on. The one that comes with it is kind of pathetic. A self darkening helmet is another must have.

Thank you for watching. As far as extending the wiring I just used butt splice connectors from Harbor Freight and spare wire to extend the wiring where needed. Its a hoot to ride now. Still a pain to transport but we have a lot fun with it.

@@adventuresofthememorymakers Thank you for the response. I received the products today.. Project start.. Hope it goes well..

Thank you for taking the time to watch. On ours I used sheet metal screws to hold it and that's worked fine. On the ones I'm out for customers I remove a speaker to access the inside of the wall and use bolts with large OD washers and Nylock nuts on the inside. The downside to mounting one to the lid is you can't have it all hooked up and then shut it back up. The way I did ours I'm able to leave it hooked up for days while we're at camp and shut the lid.

@@adventuresofthememorymakers Thanks for the reply. I totally get your lid point, and I may end up going that direction, but my present goal is to get as much freed up of the limited storage space inside the trailer as possible. Right now my water heater and accessories is essentially occupying an entire plastic bin and, as I'm sure you know, it would be amazing to have that precious cargo space available inside!

@@tequila_and_friends absolutely storage space is golden in a tiny camper. The Bushwacker is blessed with quite a bit of it then people go and remove the underbed storage. I personally don't know how we can live without that area

Thank you!

Could not resist LOL!

Thank you very much but you might be the only one who thinks that!

Just make sure it can get enough free air to the compressor side of the unit.

Just send us an email at thewizardofmodz@gmail.com We can fix you up

Its a must have tool for camper owners!

Totally understand your frustratiob. Please keep in mind that when the Australians designged these awnings and rooms they were just shelter from the sun. We get them here in the states and we expect them to be 3 season rooms. We have created several mods to help them handle the weather better but at the end of the day they are still tent rooms.

I do understand that. Probably better than my partner does. LOL I think I need to raise my arb awning a bit so that the bottom sides are a little higher to help keep the water out. It’s even more of an issue when you have to lower a side but I started using bungee cords across the top on the hooks and then roll some of the bulk up from the inside a clip with clothes pins to the bungee straps. That has certainly helped on the last two rains. Now to figure out how to raise the entire tarp up a few inches. My trailer is low. I have my thinking cap on!! Thanks for your reply. I would love to do more of the mods you have done, but I don’t have the tools or the capabilities that you have.

@@BeccyAGarvin understand. We will be glad to help however we can. Each model of camper is different how it mounts. The higher the better, to a point.

I believe the included solar controller is setup for a lithium battery as the default. I personally have never messed with switching the settings in it as I reppaced it with a larger Victron controller but if you search online I think there are instructions on how to switch modes on it.

@@adventuresofthememorymakers Ok interesting, yeah I bought mine a year ago but was always skeptical about that. I realized an additional controller was always an option but just didn’t want to have something else hanging out the side, unless I placed a really large 150ah-280ah battery into it. I just over panel it(175watt flexible Renogy) which is within their input parameters to get a pretty constant max of 130w. I just emailed them to see if they have an answer. Their new ac box pro is sweet with some new features, remote on/off, wireless charging pad, more accurate display, 2 AC outlets, app control, and a smaller box design as many lifepo4 batteries have became smaller. Although they did eliminate a couple 50 amp Anderson connectors which is a bummer. Still pretty awesome and not much more than the original product $218 plus that darn shipping. Their dc control boxes are sweet for plug and play, and I couldn’t believe all the LONG cabling and connectors they include. I’m with ya, it’s a bargain and awesome to be able to basically change out the individual components yourself if they ever fail or years down the road when the battery degrades. Thanks for the response! Good video. 👍

Thank you for taking the time to watch and nothe tennis ball does not prevent water from collecting. I simply used the tennis ball to get the room ceiling elevated so it did not rub on my head. We have another mod that we've been working on for almost a year now that prevents water from collecting on the awning without having to drop the corner of the room but we're just not quite ready to release it yet. I personally can't stand dropping the corner and since we've been using our modification we don't. I use a 3/4 inch CPVC T fitting. It snaps on to the inner tube of the sidearm that way if the room lift's a little in the wind it does not disconnect.

Thank you for your quick reply! I look forward to watching your new video!

Not very long a year ago. If they have them state side ypu should get it fairly quick.

Not a stupud question Sir. Yes, you need a water pump. Most Rv water pumps have their internalnpressure switch that turns the pump on and off as needed. Something like this one will work great with this heater set up. www.amazon.com/dp/B00P8BE6S8/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_apa_gl_i_BRKP2H7X22FQV810NX4C?linkCode=ml2&tag=adventur0592c-20

@@adventuresofthememorymakers Thank you. I will buy it with your link if I go that route. Still trying to figure out what I’m doing. Bought a military trailer with a hardtop that I’m going to convert into a camper, lots of planning and lots of money I need to properly do it. I am watching your videos and some others, my main thing I want is some comforts so I’d be more likely to use it, like hot water and ac.

Two reasons I didn't attach to the lid. The Apache box isn't strong enough to carry the weight on the lid. I can shut the lid with the water heater all hooked up this way but had I mounted it on the lid I could not.
