RE: refrigerator installation
I was going to cut out for it and frame it out and then install it from the outside.

refrigerator installation
Has anyone ever installed an RV refrigerator before?
I am thinking about adding a small gas/electric refer to a small tt where the ice box use to be.
How much of a job can that be?
Running the lp gas line is no problem and it already has an electrical outlet there.

camper tire replacement
I need to get 2 tires for an older model camper we are working on.
The tires on the camper now are not original tires and wheels.
They are low profile 15 inch tires on wide 8 inch wheels (5 lug) and they are hard to get on and off the camper due to the small wheel well space.
I am pretty sure it takes some kind of narrow 15 inch wheel?
Does anyone know what size tires and wheels were originally on a old 1963 13 foot camper with limited wheel well space?
Any suggestions on what will work now?

Is the shower heads designed to leak?
Recently had a discussion with a relative about this.
The shower head has a button you can push to save water while you soap up and wash, then push it back on to rinse.
He claims that once you push the little cut off button on the shower head that the water should totally stop.
All the ones I have use always leaked water while is was shut off?
How does your's work, does it shut off completely or does it leak some water?

RE: In Converter hell on Thanksgiving
You can get someone with jumper cables to boost you off and you wont need to charge your battery. You can raise the jacks while running the engine.

RE: Whats the best way to test the heater on the driveway ?
There may be something left on, like a light or something?
I had a basement cargo light once left on and it took my batts down real low.

RE: Honda or Yamaha Generator?
If it was for me I would go with the honda 2000 just because that would be plenty power power for me.
But since you are considering buying another one next year to have enough to run an AC I would just go ahead and get the Yamaha 2400 now. You said you only had to pay a third of the price so I would get the 2400 Yamaha.

RE: Converter upgrade or not?
Snowman,
mountain man, sorry to have hijacked your thread. I thought you had your stuff answered when I jumped in. At least we have the same OEM converter, so the answers are relevant for both of us.
No problem at all, I want to learn all the facts before I order the converter.

In the picture what is the box next to the screwdriver?
I tried to post a pic but I did not get a browser to choose from?

RE: Converter upgrade or not?
officergator,
Thanks for getting back on here with the update. I already have a 750 watt inverter and a couple small plug in type inverters which we use for cellphones, GPS, laptop and a TV. I was glad to read your info about not getting a combo unit. I just want to update that converter right now.

RE: Converter upgrade or not?
9200 Inteli-POWER CONVERTERS:
They come in 4 sizes.
I found some pretty good deals on them:
9245 45 amp $120
9260 60 amp $170
9270 70 amp $160
9280 80 amp $230
Will any of these work on my old 1994 motorhome?
I was thinking about the 45 amp but the 70 amp is only $40 more?
I suppose anything is better than the 16 year old converter I have now?
Which one?

RE: Converter upgrade or not?
consider an inverter/charger now before getting each separately.
How does this work?
Does the inverter automatically come on when you unplug?
Is it wired to send power to the all the 110 outlets or what?
How much does an inverter/charger cost, I dont want to over invest in a 16 year old RV?
I found some new 9200 Inteli-POWER CONVERTERS for just under $120!

RE: Converter upgrade or not?
When boondocking we are rarely at the RV, usually just sleep there.
I usually just use the 600 watt gen straight to the battery charger and batteries.
I do have a 1400 watt quite Kawasaki gen I could use instead of the 600 watt if needed.
I also have a 750 watt inverter but we rarely use it.

You can buy the Pendant to see the status of the charger and batteries.
bestconverter.com includes the pendant with the 9200 series?
Is the pendant wire to the converter?
My converter is under the booth/table, would I just let the pendant lay by the booth?
How long is the wire on this pendant?

RE: Converter upgrade or not?
Here are a few more facts about my RV:
It is a 1994 Class A motorhome.
I have two 6 volt golf cart batteries 3 years old in good shape.
I never leave the RV pluged in while storing.
We travel year round and sometimes have elect for a month or more at a time.
We also boondock a week to 10 days at a time.
I have the 4K onboard Onan gen and a 20 year old pull start 600 watt quite gen.
I have a new 2, 10 & 15 volt muti stage battery charger.
I usually use the old 600 watt quite gen and the new battery charger while boondocking to recharge.
The PD 9270 officergator installed sounded like a pretty simple exchange to me.
I do have tools and some mechanical knowledge but not too technical when it comes to electrical charging.
I am open to other suggestions as well?
I just want to update the old buzzing converter and get the latest tech and most for the dollar

RE: Converter upgrade or not?
The larger size will need larger wire between the converter and the DC distribution panel. You will need a larger fuse for the circuit into the DC distribution panel. You would need to check wire size between DC distirbution panel and batteries.
You didn't say which Fleetwood RV and which converter you have. That would help to get a more informed answer.
WOW!!, I dont want to have to re-wire my RV.
I just want to order it, take the old buzzer out and drop in the new unit.
Is this going to be better than my new three stage charger?
