You bet! Thanks for watching.
Where did you find the replacement fuse and capacitor? Any part numbers?
Thanks for watching! use link- amzn.to/38QShyq Capacitor link- a.co/d/ajPxqEm These should do the trick for ya
@ Great video Thank you,
No problem!
Where did you find the replacement fuse and capacitor? Any part numbers?
Are you in morro bay? Can you go help my dad in santa margarita? Lol. He keeps calling and isnt getting it.
Oh man I wish!!!!! It’s my favorite hoody ingot when visiting there. I live in Texas so I cannot go help him. So sorry! You can message on instagram @RotoCityTech and I can try to help tho
@@RotoCityTech I got an empty duplex. Come visit. Ha! Great. Will do. I am guessing I will have to diagnose this while Im back. Your video makes sense and I know board repair.
You wouldn’t have to tempt me too much to get back out there. I was there in late 2016. Missed it ever since…. One day. Shoot me a message becasue if you Airbnb that I’d be interested one day. Thanks for watching and be sure to let me know how it goes
"Im here in the closet" lol hell yeah brother
Hahaha yea…🤣
Thanks for the Info
You bet. Thanks for watching!
Wow, such great content very fun to watch!
The reason the slo blo fuse went is because the capacitor went bad and was conducting more than it should. That’s typical as caps age the electrolytic drys up inside just with time. When that happens, you should always replace both filter caps while you have it apart not just the one that obviously went bad. Sometimes they are bad and won’t show like the one here. Should always check them with a meter if in question.
Good tips here for everyone including me to learn. I should have changed both. As far as I know since we have moved on from this camper the next owners have had no trouble with it. Let’s hope that stays true. Thanks for the info and for watching.
Hey brother....thanks for this video! It saved me $1,200 from taking my travel trailer to get serviced at service department when it was a simple and cheap fix! 😃👍
I am glad I could help save you some money! It can be frustrating to take it in when you can fix it yourself.
I thought I was in for nightmare, camping world had converter identical to this on clearance for 12 dollars. You read that right, 12 bucks. Watched this video and slapped that bad boy in there, works like a charm
Whoa! That’s a great deal hahaha. Nice work!
Good video, it helped me, thanks
Thank you and I’m glad this video keeps helping people
Greetings! After over a year of use, how has the RVMasking camper cover worked out? Durability?
So after a Texas panhandle winter and crazy wind like always I wish it had held up better. It had some tears and the wheel covers were destroyed. I will say I have not found a cover that survives well here with the wind and bitter cold.
Thanks! Good job on the review! Winter is on the way and I’m thinking of getting this. In red! Haha.
Thanks for watching! I’m about to break it out for the patio myself!
Big black wha 😂 2:20
🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️ it’s taken a long time for this comment to happen. lol nice work.
A year later what’s “dads” thoughts?
He loves it! Wished we had installed it sooner. Stayed charged up no issues for 2 weeks
Awesome video! Thank you!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching.
good job
Thank you’
Just installed a Recpro 2120 12v refrigerator on our Jayco 5th wheel. We often travel for multiple days at a time and so I wanted to ensure the fridge was always on. I installed the standard 120v->12v converter and then wired in a relay such that if the 120v power is off, the fridge automatically switches to 12v. This was a simple job and now I have a fridge running off 120v when it is available and 12v battery (with 400w Solar) when we are disconnected or traveling. This will be our first trip but I expect it will work great.
Great job! I hope all is well with it. I know he has loved having this fridge in his camper
Thanks
Did I miss what year this unit was?
This was a 2018
Kelsie, when I watched your video I noticed you had a problem with you holding up the doors. I have a Wolf pup and I installed "RV door clips" like the one on your outside Cargo Storage Door. Amazon has the in black and white. I screwed one on the ceiling strips each door. They work much better than the hydraulic ones that everybody is using. The best thing is "$7.98" for a set of 5. They are listed by "BLACKHORSE-RACING RV Camper Door Holder" As of today they are in stock too!!
On my todo list. My only change would be make it a bit lower and add a bottom shelf
Great ideas!
Thanks for the great video. Under the car I go...
Thanks! Good luck hahaha
Skid plate removal is totally unnecessary, the giant hole in the skid plate at 1:52 allows access to the bolt. Water bottle is perfect for oil filter, just lay it under the nipple.
Yea that’s a good call. This is how it’s designed it seems. Thanks!
Wow how time flies. Holden is a little boy now! So fun to see content again. Keep us posted on your camping adventures along with tech stuff.
I know right!!! Getting big for sure and ready to help dad always. Thanks for commenting and I’ll be trying to get some more stuff out there soon!
I started going back reading some of your comments. Did you end up adding a second battery and finding that successful. I added 600 watts of solar and a 300ah lithium battery and have been super happy
Wow, you are set up for unlimited power! I ended up with two 6 volt batteries I think 230ah. We just camp for 2 to 3 days at most. The holding tanks in the wolf pup are not that big with a family of 5 as you know. We use the harbor freight predator generator to offset the inadequate stock 50w solar. Yes, it's heavy with a full tank of gas. I did upgrade the wheels.
Ah man I was so close to going 6v but then got that lithium battery. We camped for 8 days dry and never needed the generator. Every day by lunch we were back to 100% power. I loved it hahaha. Was even able to use my inverter to use microwave. The 50w stock on these campers are almost useless hahaha
This brings back memories. About time to replace my awning Great video Hank.
Thanks! Hahaha yup it’s on the way!
im having the exact same issues as you had. now i have found a capacitor but i cannot find a fuse, any chance you remember where you got one or able to point me in the right to find one
Yea here is the link to find what I used. Thanks for watching!!! amzn.to/38QShyq
Lucky.. TY for shearing.
No prob. I feel I did get a bit lucky haha
What ? Your showing nothing
Guess you didn’t watch it…
Word of advice: Next time you have to desolder something, add some low melt solder to the back of the board so it puddles easier and gives you less of a chance of pulling the traces off the board.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll get some to keep on hand!
Also: Flux is your friend. Total game changer when soldering.
If I remember correctly I was using rosin core so no need for flux unless you have found it is still helpful?
Very much still helpful. Especially when working on large joints like that where there's a lot of solder to heat up in order to get good flow. I like using the flux pens. They're like a paint pen. Just depress the tip and it dispenses a little liquid flux right where your need it.
You make that look so easy.My camper got hit by lightning and I only have one power source not the 2, so I sure hope this is what it is.And i'm going to have someone try it. But you explained it very nicely.
I appreciate that. Thanks for taking time to comment! Good luck.
Thanks for this! Just checked mine on a new to me camper and it is blown. It looks like 250v 5A fuse, correct?
Happy that you found the issue! If it’s the same converter then maybe so. You can open the video description and it’ll have links to the parts. Thanks for watching.
Great video..
Thank you!
Where are you getting your parts? Can you please add a link?
Thanks for watching. Links are in the video description.
Changed mine now the water wont flow into the toilet any suggestions why?
Thanks for watching. Hmmm weird. This has never happened to me. Faulty valve?
Keeping a gas can on the back of the camper is extremely dangerous
Thanks for watching. I don’t see why it’s any more dangerous than in the back of a truck or side of a camper perhaps.
That fridge looks sweeeeeeeet. Can't wait to see a video installed. Totally should do the roller shelf.
Yes I can’t wait either!
So basically your knees are touchin the person in front of you and the back of the seat is obstructing the aisle behind you. Really wanted this chair but seeing it in actual use, it's too big.
It is no bigger than any other bleacher chair out on the market. I have used it at a football game with no problems.
Where did you buy the replacement fuse
Links should be in the description. Thanks for watching.
What if I broke the bottom plastic latch on the new order
I don’t think it will stay in the slot if that is broken and not spray where it needs to
thank you, for learning the insides.
You bet! I love learning. Thanks for commenting and watching.
Thanks for sharing! There is a ton of full time living organization - but not a lot for weekend warriors.
You bet! Thanks for letting me know it helped. This is true. I loved that camper so much. We have since upgraded but it was an awesome start for us.
@@RotoCityTechwhat are yall in now? We have a grand design 21bhe. It’s hard to not want to upgrade!
We are now in a grey wolf 23dbh and absolutely love it. With two little boys growing up we just wanted more space.
@@RotoCityTech What a great layout! Love the second door goes into the bathroom. I really want a recliner in the next rig. My parents follow us in their small class B - but eventually will probably not want to drive and those two suite with loft 5th wheels are TEMPTING. Then I see the price and think.. nah im good. :D
Haha yes I agree with you about those 5th wheels! We love the 23dbh and I am right now upgrading to a full length awning because it does not cover the bathroom door currently. The second door tho is one of our favorite things!
Thank you for this. I am about to embark on the same journey. :)
Good luck! Hope you figure it out and thanks for commenting!
Great video. Sounds like the Wolf Pup 16FQ may suit you guys a little better. Have you looked into that?
Thanks for watching! Yes, we looked into that one as well. Ended up going bigger into a grey wolf 23dbh
@@RotoCityTechOh nice!! Yeah, might as well step it up if you can. I love that whole line. Thanks for the inspiration. I’ll probably be showing highlights of mine on my channel a well.
Perfect -- just the facts, and easy to follow.
Thanks for watching!
Love it when a 3 yr old video is useful. First time using water with ours and it seemed weird that the fresh water intake was labeled "drain" so was confused. Will def get something akin to what you use at some point instead of pointing a hose in
And i love when one of my videos is still useful to someone haha. This water pump system is so handy when you find yourself at a site without water hookups and you need to tote water. We used to just use 5 gallon jugs at a time and walking them from the fill up to the camper. Now we are rolling 15 gallons at a time with no lifting.
Thanks for posting. Been trying to fix my problems with my batteries not charging for almost 2 years. I have replaced 2 sets of batteries twice as well as the converter on my inverter. If I put jumper cables on my batteries and connect to my truck, the 12 volt refrigerator works, otherwise, refrigerator does not work. Can't wait to trouble shoot later on today.
Oh man I sure hope you figure out the problem!! Be sure to keep me updated on this because they can be a real bear to find. I would also check the reverse polarity fuse in the panel. If that blows it can cause similar stuff
My channel I post some videos on our Old RV that we too moved on from, but it was way too old and leaking bad. So, we just got a newer one and it's awesome for the 2 of us. It's 3 years old so broke in but not without some minor issues. I told you on your video on the converter, but it also has a bad RV fireplace that the board went south. My plan is to get rid of the China board and just put in switches to run it manually. We only use it when we are right there and not when gone. it already has a thermal blow safeguard but need to put a heat rheostat to control the temp which was a issue the old one had I believe if running it as much as the prior owners did. They bought the trailer while they were having their new house built and lived in it which explains why the converter and the electric fireplace died so soon being only 3 years old.
You are probably right. I never had a fireplace in a camper until our latest one and it is actually really nice to have when you are plugged in anyways. It probably isn’t very expensive to just replace that board is it? But the switches idea is a good one as well. I’ll have to check out some of your stuff!
Thanks, will sub and watch your videos too. The board cost as much as a converter and are junk. Old book was before boards were invented and it lasted forever basically. Of course switches and rheostats are not what they use to be but at least easier and cheaper to replace
@@TimsWorkshopTJY this is true too. Yup I’m subbed to you as well.
