I know I should know this….but if I am parked with shore power, the solar will keep the lithium’s at 90-100% at all times. Is there a way to limit it to 80% SOC? Can you set it to a certain voltage level (i.e. 13.2v or so) to achieve this? I have a Victron SmartShunt, but I am not sure it will talk to the SmartSolar (at least for SOC). For now, I am managing this manually, by shutting off the solar charging until the batteries get low enough to charge….but then I have to catch it...

I am having a problem wiring my 7 way plug on my travel trailer. I have bought a Hopkins 7 way plug and the diagram shows that the back side of the male plug has a hump on the top of the plug. Other companies who show the wiring diagram also shows this hump. Is this hump the locking hump on the bottom of the tow vehicle's female connector? So the wiring diagram needs to be turned 180 degrees to work right? Please explain the 7 posts color with their color and code. What I am asking, do I...

On the way home from Newmar Service Center the New water pump pulsed on and off while using the Bathroom sink and kitchen sink. High loads like the toilet the pump did not pulse. Did a little search and reading and found that the 4800 Series pumps have a pressure adjustment on the pump. Read the instructions, see attached, and fixed it myself. Luckily the pump is in a position that is easily accessible...

Trish gave me a thorough chewing this morning, a fair and balanced performance, most of which centered around my apparent inability to pick up after myself. The exhibit in question? One lonely pair of shoes I stepped out of last night when I sat down on the couch. (Now stored in the closet so no picture available.) Now, you wouldn’t think a single pair of shoes could land a man in such dire straits, but apparently, I was one step away from testing the comfort of outdoor sleeping...

Drove highway 23 "The Country Music Highway" from Aberdeen to Pikeville! Spectacular scenery! Country Music Highway - Explore Kentucky's Musical Heritage Staying at Pikeville RV Park for two nights. Pretty nice place. Concrete pad, full hook ups, nice and clean, gated entrance and nice views!

When on the road with engine running, does the solar system typically still charge the battery? Does Solar help with load when you are plugged into Shore Power, etc?

Being rather new to having an RV, I have a question. All the stickers that come on RVs, how do you get them off? Are certain stickers important to keep on? My husband thinks they should all stay, for when you may sell. Thank you for any help!

Needs a little TLC, But in excellent condition.

Noticed a 2' DIA pool of water at the base of our toilet right under the round pivot thing of the foot pedal. Got down and looked at it and could see water dripping between the fixed exterior round part and the pivot part that moves when pedal is depressed. Ordered and changed the toilet valve. No noticeable leaks around the inlet hose nor outlet hose. Still leaking and can't figure out where the leak is originating from. Any insight, suggestions, ideas?

Route and..? recommendations. 25’ Class C, w/Jeep TJ toad Traveling from south Texas up to Elkmont campground in NC. 2 night stay? Then over to Cherokee for couple nights. Then up to Asheville, stay or not? Not quite sure what to expect there. Would like to see the city, help support local economy. Then up to Boone NC. to catch Grandfather Mt, & maybe Linville Falls. Then heading up to Floyd, Va. and perhaps on to Gettysburg. At each stop we’re planning to unhook and do day trips to the...

Fall has come a little early to this area of NH. The locals say it is at peak color, and with the drought they've had, most of the leaves will drop in 7-10 days. These photos were taken 3 days ago on the Kancamagus Hwy.

Ok guys with ceramic coating. What do you use to wash you coach with? Foam gun, which one? Chemical, which one? I read somewhere to not use a pressure washer so I guess its a garden hose attachment with a bottle for soap? Thanks for any experience recommendations.

Has anyone had contact with King? I have trying to contact them regarding my King One Pro antenna. Phone message says they are closed. Left a voicemail and no returned call. Called again and voicemail is full. Tried leaving an email with with no reply yet. I’m thinking they are out of business.

Will be heading south from Thackerville OK to Horseshoe Ridge in Wimberly, TX in a couple of days. Route takes me straight through Ft Worth on I35 W. Have read a ton of horror stories about this route and many plan to totally avoid it. Has anyone been this way lately? Would you plan around Ft Worth, or just grit your teeth and go straight through?

I really don't want to hear my water pump. I have the REMCO AquaJet RV 5 GPM 12V pump. It works fine but it's an interesting sounding pump at times. I considered replacing it, maybe it's something with this one, or even going back to the 3 GPM version I have as a spare under my bed. It uses rubber shock dampening grommets which seem nice on this water pump. But the sound is just odd. I researched quiet water pumps and the reviews are mixed both on the lifespan of the pump but also noise...

Hi, I'm new to these forums and this is my first post here. I recently bought a 23' Komfort (manufactured by Thor, I believe...) bumper tow trailer. I went out to where it is currently stored a couple days ago to run power to the trailer and charge the batteries. I notice in the front of the trailer there is a constant humming sound like a water pump (maybe?) is running constantly. I can't find any switches to control the water pump or any kind of a distribution panel. I unplugged the...

Back to debating to install some solar panels or not. Do I really need solar installed?? We are in Nappanee and speaking with SES regarding a solar install. Pricing is reasonable. We typically travel camp ground to campground. The only real benefit is to keep house battery topped up while traveling, Issue is that if the house battery get low when traveling when we plug in the charger will take most available post power until the Lipo batteries are charged. No AC or cooking etc...

I have a new to me camper that I'm trying to plug in for the first time. The surge protector I ordered didn't match up to the cord that came with the camper. Since I'm using a 30amp to 15amp adapter to plug into my garage and only intend to run the AC on low, would this be safe to plug in? I have the breakers off to everything but the AC. 👀 Thanks!
