Improving a toy hauler switch panel
มุมมอง 2614 วันที่ผ่านมา
The garage in most toy haulers has a group of switches to control things like inside & outside lights along with awnings & the Happi Jac bed. The switches are next to impossible to see at night. Often times even the overhead lights are controlled by a tiny switch that is hard to find in the dark. This video addresses those issues. I show how to relocate the overhead light switch and add “instru...

Really should use the proper Rock salt
Not according to the people that make the On-The-Go portable softener. For full size household softeners yes but not the On-The-Go portable.
@TheWanderingSteeles according to them you should use 4in1 clean and protect or pure and natural or 5in1 clean and protect. All of wich are either crystal or pellet. This is only the Morton salt. Other brands are available
I don’t know where you’re getting your information but the instructions on the On-The-Go website specifically says to use table salt. 26 ox boxes of either iodized or non-iodized. I just double checked to confirm. There are no instructions, I can find, referring to rock salt. Being able to use table salt is actually one of their selling points.
@@TheWanderingSteeles my information came from on the go portable softener
From the instructions on the On The Go website. : Step 5: Add the correct amount of table salt into the top for your softener. - One full 26 oz. box of iodized/non-iodized salt for the Standard model. - Two full 26 oz. boxes of iodized/non-iodized salt for the Double Standard Model. - Four full 26 oz. boxes of iodized/non-iodized salt for the Park Model Softener.
Thank you very much.
My pleasure.
I've never heard of this screen. Can you see out?
Yes, can see out just fine. Ot works just like the reflective film in some RV windows. During the day you can see out and at night, if there are lights on, you can see in.
If I tightend bleed screw cause of leak what should I do to go about adding coolant do I need to have it up in ramps or will that cylinder not have fluid
It may be ok. I noticed because of how high I was able to get the radiator that I didn’t get much fluid from the bleed screws. If it doesn’t overheat I would not worry about it.
@@TheWanderingSteeles okay just wondering as I noticed small amount of coolant along bleed screw as it was fairly loose, snugged it it maybe lost 100ml of fluid if that but didn’t know if I was good to go just topping it up or if you had to refil the bleeding system as I accidentally bled the screw
Thanks, very helpful!
My pleasure
Thank you for your help!!
Glad it was helpful
Im gonna guess and say you smoke, Marlbaro reds
You would be wrong. I don’t smoke but I did have throat cancer and the radiation damaged my vocal cords.
Or you could park the ramp at the low end of small hill or curb with a side walk bottom of a gutter somthing .
I’m sure that works but since that’s not always an option my extended ramp is always available.
That was an awesome demo Thank you
Great video, lots of very useful information, thanks
The switch you replaced still had power through it and that's why you're still seeing the display. I bought the switch you installed and planned on putting it on the battery box to kill all power to the trailer. The display should also then shut off.
That is true. What matters is which “side” the switch is connected to battery. The meter is connected to the “output” side of the switch so when off the meter is no longer connected to the battery.
professional installation optional with voice box instructions
Mine were definitely professionally installed at the factory
Thanks!
Great idea well worth the effort to load safely especially as we age 👍
It would have been very helpful to show how to remove the cover too, just to help folks not familiar
Yea, I kinda did but I guess I could have shown a little more detail. Thanks.

Perfect. Well explained. I need to replace the drain in my kitchen seink fir my RV. As mentioned, the top lip that sits in the sink is plastic and somehow it broke snd now my drain is floating around. I'll use this video as a guide when I go to replace the drain this week.

Thanks for the video. Well done with no extra bs. I'm ordering a new valve to replace a leaky one right now.
Thanks
Great video, thank you. Also, Brother, you shake as bad as me! If you can do it, I can too!
Holy cow ?
My thoughts, exactly.
Finally a straight forward video on how to hook this up. Thank you sir!!!
Schwintech is garbage so quit putting them in slides or do hat is needed to make them more dependable. If this was in a car there would be a total recall and they would be forced to fix.
There are better systems out there but Schwintech is OK as long as you do your maintenance. Mine has done well, 7 years full time.
Thank you for your instruction on how to operate these older HappyJax.

Hi my name is Bruce Elphinstone and I live in Australia and enjoyed watching you video on the fridge conversion. I have tried the link to RC Refrigeration but keep getting locked out of there web site so wondering if you are able to supply me with there phone number and email address as I would love to purchase one of there upgrade kits for my Dometic absorbtion fridge in my caravan. Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.😊
Phone 260-768-4067 Info@jctefigeration.com Good luck
Thank for clear, concise instructions. I have cleaned the vents but not checked them for gaps.
You're welcome!
Very informative I'm pretty sure I solved the problem.
Glad to help.
Great video, just ordered mine today for my Dometic RM 3663, just got a notification it was mailed out! RVing and fixing stuff in my Rv's for 25 years, I feel i'm qualified to install this ;-)
Thank you and thanks for the video!
What you didn't mention which would have been nice is what to do about the gas line. Some of us are not professionals so we're not sure what the protocol is. You simply cap it with some kind of a plug or is there another way to secure that so that you can use your other gas appliances?
Yes, cap it. I found the cap at the local hardware store. I removed my fridge to replace the cooling unit, the new cooling unit came with a way to cap the gas line but I bought a different cap so I could cap the “T” instead of the short gas line. You can take that short gas line to the hardware store to be sure you have the correct fitting for the “T” or the gas line depending on which way you choose to go.
Excellent video with detailed information! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. 😊 [July 25, 2024]
You're a gentleman and a scholar. You took your time to explain and demonstrate everything so that even a beginner can follow along, and I appreciate that you talked about some of the possible pitfalls or issues that could occur. Great instructional video, thanks for posting!

Great idea will try What do you do about the condensation?
We’ve not had any problems with condensation.
Good job on the vid, but what about piping that does directly into the tank?
Can you be a little more specific. What is it you are asking?
Ok this is really helpful however how do you put it back on?
It’s just the reverse of the removal.
@@TheWanderingSteeles I have tried every which way to do this and it will not go back on so I will hopefully get a tech out to help me. Thanks for all your videos - they are helpful.
Can you show me how to replace the light bulb?
Maybe this video will help. th-cam.com/video/PxkjVbR6kQE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AAI1sMFp5PZw9ENH

Your video has a mistake in it. When installing the valve you need to install the valve piece with the rubber o-ring first and then install the retaining ring that you then rotate counter-clockwise to lock into place. The way you had it, the foot petal is the only thing holding the valve in place and the pressure causes the foot petal to pop off like someone else mentioned in the comments.
You are absolutely correct, I’ve added a big warning in the description because the rest of the video is correct & I believe useful. Thanks for being this to my attention.
@@TheWanderingSteelesI noticed the same. You may want to edit that portion of the video if possible.
Thanks for this video. I had a big bubble and didn't know why. I removed the air and filled it back up and the bubble would come back. I couldn't find any issues on this subject, only how to fix leaks. After watching your video, I opened up the mattress and found that the side support foam slid under the air chamber, lol.
I'm in the same predicament with my toyhauler. Thanks for the video!!
Good stuff 👍🏽👍🏽
This is very helpful thank you
Thanks for the info
Good idea. Just found you on TH-cam, I like your short videos. Happy camping
Thanks. Please help me grow by subscribing & sharing with your friends. Happy camping to you too
It actually stays in override for 2 minutes. You do not need a second person, in fact you can leisurely walk back into the camper to push the slide controls with time to spare.
That has not been my experience. And is not what I was told by LCI. I suppose they may have changed the software in new units.
Excellent tutorial. Thank you for posting!!
