The solution is correct (soldered connections and larger guage wire). I had a similar problem. What is going on is "I squared R" losses. Ohms law: E = I*R and power law P = I*E (E being volts). If...

I would avoid using a specific connector. CATV uses an "F" connector for 75 ohm coax (RG-59 or equiv). But there are others, i.e. you get an actual ethernet cable with an RJ-45 plug. The problem is...

Your next step is to fashion a strap to hold the door closed while traveling. So long as the door is firmly seated into the box, it can't move. What I did is as follows using hardware store...

I'd be very careful about mixing connector types. A NEMA 5-20P/R is for 20A 120VAC which would make all your electricals very excited if someone connected up a 120V lead, esp since it is side by...

For a 17A/B the top of the ball should be 19" above the ground. Measure from there. I'd be surprised of the 19 is all that different except, of course, you have the raised axle and bigger tires

Apgar and Road to the Sun

We stayed there this last Sept (2014) for 3 days. The sites didn't have hookups but there is a dump station with easy access. I suspect all that plumbing would be very distruptive to this beautiful...

Need to confirm replacement parts -- Me too

We were recently traveling some NV "county roads", aka washboards made of gravel, with our 17B and the fridge door of the 4.3 Dometic came off. On the way down it took off the cabinet doors under...

From someone who still remembers relay contact burnishers

Don't use a knife on the contacts. That will work for a bit by getting to clean metal but it has also taken off the silver/??? plating done to the contacts resulting in another failure further down...

I had our 17B rough wired for solar that I would install later. Like others have said, that amounts to running a black/red pair from the vicinity of the panel to somewhere behind the passenger side...

CEA Solar

That is the unit we got. Yes, it is nice, especially the hard walled case. It is also heavy so I stow it in the pickup truck when we are travelling.

As for install. They have a couple optional...
