Very enlightening discussion!

I noticed some pinholes of light at the forward side of my vent (2017 19) early this year, but had seen no water intrusion, so I figured I'd seal the pinhole or replace the lid when I have some time....

Thank you for your insight. I agree with you.

I wonder if anyone who has already done this can offer guidance regarding the connection to the new board?

On my next outing in the first week of October the water heater only worked for a few days then it went back to the same fail state as before.

I'm having a curious failure with the water heater in my 2017 19. I don't know if they use the same heater in all models and all years, so I'll specify that it's the Suburban SW6DE.

Thank you for this! I had seen mention of GoPower being the vendor of choice for ETI, but I didn't want to assume.

Because we frequently camp in treed areas, and the 160 Watt roof-mounted solar panel on our 2017 19 isn't always in the sun, I snagged a portable 100 Watt Noma crystalline Solar Panel Kit when it...

LuxPro Digital Thermostat

Thanks for the link to the digital thermostat thread. That simple two wire thermostat looks like a good idea. I wouldn't be against the old school thermostat, if it worked flawlessly.
