RE: Eagle Cap quality control continues to disappoint
I’m not sure what you are expecting. I’m not familiar with your model, but heat typically isn’t vented into the cabover area because most people want the cabover area to be the coldest part of the TC. There are a few fixes.
Look at his photos. The duct is dangling and not connected to the furnace.

RE: Lithium battery alternator charging.
I recently viewed a Victron video displaying how a continuous high amp charging rate can overheat your vehicle alternator. (smoke coming from alternator)
Victron makes several DC to DC Chargers, buy one, install, problem solved.
Orion Smart TR 12-12 30 which is code for 12 volt to 12 volt, 30 amp.

With as bad as it looks, I wouldn't even drive it that far empty.

RE: Suggest All season travel trailer for work
Arctic Fox/Nash definitely top choices. Get the factory storm windows.
Northwood stopped offering storm windows many years ago.
What you want is their thermal pane window option.
All ORV models have thermal pane standard. Arctic Fox they might be standard as well. Unsure on Nash.

RE: Towing up grades with "M" and 1 gears
Just put it into to drive and enable the "towing/haul" mode and forget about that "M" mode.
No Bueno.
By the time the computer/transmission decides to downshift as it loses speed on a grade, all bets are off for maintaining a decent speed.
My rig is a different animal (Duramax / Allison). I run it in Manual mode and 5th most of the time. I watch my RPM and speed. I have driven the truck long enough that I know at what RPM (and corresponding speed) I need to down shift to the next lower gear, but that RPM isn't the same for each gear.
I keep the RPMs in sweet spot and can maintain my speed relatively well, or lose very little.
The point I'm making is that my "manual down shifts" are pre-emptive. The computer will shift too late, unless I put the hammer down on the skinny pedal and force it to shift earlier... but there goes my EGTs!
My suggestion: Drive it and try things out, that's the only way "you" will get the feel for "your" vehicle. The internet, nor a dealer, can tell you what "gear you should be in" because there are far too many variables involved.
When I'm towing heavy, I change up my shift points vs when I am towing light.

RE: Suggest All season travel trailer for work
Brands I'm looking at
Northwood Artic Fox/ Nash - my top choice so far
Nash 17k with a generator is a nice compact model.
I had one and used it a lot.
Here's a video tour of it.

RE: How get truck and TC with ample weight capacity
Do we have to worry about cog?
Not really, as long as you have a long bed, and a camper meant for a long bed truck.

RE: Cord Storage and Clearance Light Sealing/Questions
Another option is to removing permanently connected power cable and install a power inlet jack that is sealed entirely. Then add the plug to your existing cable.
That's what I did Here's how I did it.
I now store my cord dongles and adapters in the cord storage hatch

RE: Cord Storage and Clearance Light Sealing/Questions
JB Weld has a material for doing wood repairs. I use it and it worked well. I think it would be perfect for this type of repair.

RE: tool for dicor removal
Do you smooth out the sealant like you do in a house with a wet finger?
Self leveling Dicor does not need touched with anything after you shoot it out of the calking gun.
Here's a video showing it "self level"

RE: Bluetooth Thermostat Upgrade
I’d like to do this but my thermostat is the Airxcel manual thermostat. Does the Bluetooth model replace that as well?
Yes. Prior to the Bluetooth upgrade, I did this analog to digital upgrade

RE: Generator hooked up efficiency ?
would it bog down the generator like vampire & run gen at high load all the time? Does the rv's inverter eat up electricity?
THe speed of the generator is dictate by the amount of power you are using. If you have a lot of AC appliances on, then yes, the generator will run at a higher RPM, if it's an "inverter generator".
The RV's inverter has no correlation to the generator. Did you mean the RV's Converter (which is a charger)?

RE: Takata airbag recall
Just received notice from GM that my 2012 Chevy 2500 needs the "passenger" side airbag replaced as it may explode in an accident.
I got the same letter last week for my 2009 3500HD.
