Yea that’s a good call. This is how it’s designed it seems. Thanks!

I know right!!! Getting big for sure and ready to help dad always. Thanks for commenting and I’ll be trying to get some more stuff out there soon!

I started going back reading some of your comments. Did you end up adding a second battery and finding that successful. I added 600 watts of solar and a 300ah lithium battery and have been super happy

Wow, you are set up for unlimited power! I ended up with two 6 volt batteries I think 230ah. We just camp for 2 to 3 days at most. The holding tanks in the wolf pup are not that big with a family of 5 as you know. We use the harbor freight predator generator to offset the inadequate stock 50w solar. Yes, it's heavy with a full tank of gas. I did upgrade the wheels.

Ah man I was so close to going 6v but then got that lithium battery. We camped for 8 days dry and never needed the generator. Every day by lunch we were back to 100% power. I loved it hahaha. Was even able to use my inverter to use microwave. The 50w stock on these campers are almost useless hahaha

Thanks! Hahaha yup it’s on the way!

Yea here is the link to find what I used. Thanks for watching!!! amzn.to/38QShyq

No prob. I feel I did get a bit lucky haha

Guess you didn’t watch it…

Thanks for the tip! I’ll get some to keep on hand!

Also: Flux is your friend. Total game changer when soldering.

If I remember correctly I was using rosin core so no need for flux unless you have found it is still helpful?

Very much still helpful. Especially when working on large joints like that where there's a lot of solder to heat up in order to get good flow. I like using the flux pens. They're like a paint pen. Just depress the tip and it dispenses a little liquid flux right where your need it.

I appreciate that. Thanks for taking time to comment! Good luck.

Happy that you found the issue! If it’s the same converter then maybe so. You can open the video description and it’ll have links to the parts. Thanks for watching.

Thank you!

Thanks for watching. Links are in the video description.

Thanks for watching. Hmmm weird. This has never happened to me. Faulty valve?

Thanks for watching. I don’t see why it’s any more dangerous than in the back of a truck or side of a camper perhaps.

Yes I can’t wait either!

It is no bigger than any other bleacher chair out on the market. I have used it at a football game with no problems.

Links should be in the description. Thanks for watching.

I don’t think it will stay in the slot if that is broken and not spray where it needs to

You bet! I love learning. Thanks for commenting and watching.

You bet! Thanks for letting me know it helped. This is true. I loved that camper so much. We have since upgraded but it was an awesome start for us.

@@RotoCityTechwhat are yall in now? We have a grand design 21bhe. It’s hard to not want to upgrade!

We are now in a grey wolf 23dbh and absolutely love it. With two little boys growing up we just wanted more space.

@@RotoCityTech What a great layout! Love the second door goes into the bathroom. I really want a recliner in the next rig. My parents follow us in their small class B - but eventually will probably not want to drive and those two suite with loft 5th wheels are TEMPTING. Then I see the price and think.. nah im good. :D

Haha yes I agree with you about those 5th wheels! We love the 23dbh and I am right now upgrading to a full length awning because it does not cover the bathroom door currently. The second door tho is one of our favorite things!

Good luck! Hope you figure it out and thanks for commenting!

Thanks for watching! Yes, we looked into that one as well. Ended up going bigger into a grey wolf 23dbh

@@RotoCityTechOh nice!! Yeah, might as well step it up if you can. I love that whole line. Thanks for the inspiration. I’ll probably be showing highlights of mine on my channel a well.

Thanks for watching!

And i love when one of my videos is still useful to someone haha. This water pump system is so handy when you find yourself at a site without water hookups and you need to tote water. We used to just use 5 gallon jugs at a time and walking them from the fill up to the camper. Now we are rolling 15 gallons at a time with no lifting.

Oh man I sure hope you figure out the problem!! Be sure to keep me updated on this because they can be a real bear to find. I would also check the reverse polarity fuse in the panel. If that blows it can cause similar stuff

You are probably right. I never had a fireplace in a camper until our latest one and it is actually really nice to have when you are plugged in anyways. It probably isn’t very expensive to just replace that board is it? But the switches idea is a good one as well. I’ll have to check out some of your stuff!

Thanks, will sub and watch your videos too. The board cost as much as a converter and are junk. Old book was before boards were invented and it lasted forever basically. Of course switches and rheostats are not what they use to be but at least easier and cheaper to replace

@@TimsWorkshopTJY this is true too. Yup I’m subbed to you as well.

I agree with all of this! Overall they are pretty cheap but I know myself and alot of people enjoy fixing things and being able to rely on just me. It’s handy to know these things to get out of a bind. Thanks for the comment.

Got the fuse pack but just discovered one of the capacitor is blown. I see the ebay link and looks like I just put in the info and how many needed so will buy a few of then since they are so cheap. I put in the new converter a couple days ago and that's working fine. The old one is just a fun project.

Ugh it’s always something else huh! Luckily you have the new one and now can take the time to learn on the old one!

Could be right. It’s been a while since I did this but very well could be correct. Thanks for watching!

Yea just expand the description of the video and there should be links to what I used

Fuse link- amzn.to/38QShyq Capacitor link- www.ebay.com/itm/124781084107?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=zZA7McRrTrC&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=jf9Ek1UhRGK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

You should be able to yes. Just make sure in the solar controller that you set it for lead acid or sealed or whatever that particular battery is. Thanks for watching and reaching out

I installed an automatic switch so that when I’m plugged in it takes my inverter out of the loop and when I am boondocking my inverter clicks back in the loop. Also when I have a generator plugged in the system just things it’s normal power and my inverter no longer is in the loop

Here is the video explaining that setup czcams.com/video/bAJZvtl4bKk/video.htmlsi=4gMXh8ZJbUyUWkZl

This is just too common! Hope ya got it fixed tho

So even if your camper has a 50 amp system you need to make sure of the amps for that exact fuse on the board

I bought a new one but want to fix the old one as a backup. understand and when I take the old fuse out will know what it is. I do see 30amp ceramic fuses and the 15amp on the website but the 30amp is just the snap in ones not like the 15amp with solder leads.

Yea it is. Hardest part is getting down there where you can get eyes on it well hahaha.

@@RotoCityTech I wound up not being able to see anything. Besides, my back doesn't let me twist in certain ways. I guess I will wind up seeing if I can find a mobile RV service or have to just take it in. Oh well. lol. I tried, and the video was still very informative and helpful in any event.

Oh no! I understand you do have to really get down and behind it to see

Lol yes, they are very heavy! Nice feel tho!

Thank you! Glad it helped you out!

Thanks! I use this thing constantly in the backyard to power a speaker and charge phones during parties

@RotoCityTech I have built several. I use them all around the house, garage and outdoors

Sick. Yea pretty easy and way useful.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks! In the video description I link to the parts used. I can’t remember the specs but they should be there. Thanks again!

I appreciate you commenting! Thanks!

Wry cool! Man we wanted the 26dbh but didn’t think we had enough room to make the turn into the drive. I still want one tho haha. Enjoy the lock and just make sure to sandwich the wires properly in there as to not damage them!

That it was! I should have. I have sold the camper and as far as I know everything is still working 🤞🏼

I am yes. Now I have many years towing as a truck driver for 15 years but a half ton will be capable only if you have a good weight distribution/ anti sway hitch. My f150 handled weight better and I’m about to add air bags to the rear of this ram to help that

Never ceases to amaze me how many people have this same problem! Smh check in the video description for links to purchase what you need. Thanks for watching!

I try

Thank you. Seems to be such a consistent problem. The whole converter is easy and not too expensive if you can’t find the issue

You are welcome! Thanks for watching
