A gas detector that beeps every minute during nighttime hours (7PM-7AM) is typically experiencing low voltage issues, sensor degradation, or interference from temperature changes and humidity. The timing pattern suggests power-related problems rather than actual gas leaks.
Guide to RV battery disconnect switches. Covers when to use, what loses power, and best practices for storage and daily use.
Protect your RV from freeze damage with this comprehensive winterization and de-winterization guide.
Fix your RV refrigerator with this guide covering Dometic, Norcold, and residential fridge issues.
The Samsung RF18 at 24.5" width with doors removed should fit through your Bounder 35E door opening that's slightly larger than 24.5". However, precise measurement and careful planning are essential for successful installation.
Most RV solar systems range from 200-800 watts using 12V panels wired in parallel with PWM or MPPT controllers. Wire gauge depends on amperage and distance, with 10-12 AWG typical for most installations.
Dual purpose lithium batteries work for coach use but dedicated deep cycle lithium is better for house banks. Dual purpose compromises between starting and cycling. For RV house batteries, deep cycle LiFePO4 provides better value and cycle life.
Yes, you can remove inverter/charger and install standalone battery charger. Much less expensive than replacement inverter. Check if inverter includes transfer switch - you may need to address that. IOTA or Progressive Dynamics chargers work well.
A strong ammonia smell from your RV refrigerator indicates a serious refrigerant leak in the cooling system. Stop using the refrigerator immediately and ensure proper ventilation, as this poses health and safety risks.
For F53 chassis wheel bearing service, contact Ford dealerships or heavy-duty truck shops since Camping World doesn't service motorhome chassis. Your beeping propane detector likely needs replacement, and the slides are interlocked with the LP detector for safety.
Underhood generators and idling work but check local idle regulations. Extended idling wastes fuel and causes engine wear. Solar, generators, or DC-DC chargers are better long-term solutions.
Your Norcold absorption fridge shows classic signs of cooling unit inefficiency - warm freezer (0-5°F vs ideal -5 to 0°F) and cold refrigerator (30-35°F vs ideal 35-38°F). This typically indicates failing cooling coils or poor heat exchange that requires professional repair or replacement.
When your Everchill 12V refrigerator's freezer works but the fridge compartment doesn't cool, it's typically caused by a faulty damper control, blocked air circulation, or temperature sensor issue. Start by checking the damper door between compartments and verifying proper airflow.
Your Dometic 12V compressor refrigerator likely isn't getting adequate power from your batteries. Check battery voltage under load, inspect connections for corrosion, and ensure your battery bank can handle the high amp draw required for the compressor.
The Norcold kit 633292 power board replacement requires identifying your N821's serial number to determine wiring configuration, as this universal kit fits multiple applications with different connection points.
