RC7-GS Inverter AGM Battery Settings: Complete Setup Guide

Replaced my 105Ah AGM battery and now my RC7-GS inverter charger is completely rejecting it like this capacity doesn't exist in its programming.

The charging settings only go from 125Ah up to 1000Ah, with an 'auto' option that supposedly 'learns' my battery but resets every time the low voltage cutoff trips (which feels like cheating, honestly). I'm worried about undercharging or cooking my expensive new AGMs if I pick the wrong setting.

Oh, and while we're talking about things that don't work as advertised - the generator auto-start feature might as well be a myth. Can't even manually start the generator from the RC7 panel. At this point I'm wondering if I should have just stuck with my old setup that actually worked! Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here? …more

RV Wheel Alignment Guide: Warning Signs, Cost & When to Get Service

This Class A Freightliner Chassis alignment I finished yesterday still pulls hard left through those tight campground turns — did I mess something up? who knew? 🙄

Now I'm dealing with some funky tire wear patterns and my rig seems to have developed a mind of its own on the highway - it's pulling to one side like it's trying to make an unscheduled scenic detour. I'm pretty sure I need a wheel alignment, but honestly, I have no clue what warning signs to look for or how often this service should be done.

What are the telltale signs that scream 'GET AN ALIGNMENT NOW!'? I'm specifically looking for recommendations near Glendale, AZ, and I've heard mixed things about Bell Road RV. How do I find a shop that actually knows what they're doing with big rigs like my Freightliner? And what should I expect to pay for this delightful reality check? Any guidance would be awesome before I end up as one of those viral RV fail videos! …more

How to Replace Onan 10KW Generator Isolation Mounts: Complete RV Repair Guide

My 2013 Tiffin Allegro Bus generator (model 10HDKCA11506E) is producing violent shaking and a grinding noise that's absolutely driving me insane. The isolation mounts keep wearing out way too quickly - I just had them replaced 19 months ago and they're already shot again.

Last repair used parts #402-1680-02, but my Onan parts manual shows I should have 2x #402-0728-01 and 2x #402-0728-02 isolators. The generator only has 34 hours since the last mount replacement, and symptoms are obvious - excessive noise, vibration throughout the coach, and the oil drain plug hanging below the frame.

What's the proper way to replace these mounts? Are the parts I'm seeing actually interchangeable, or did the shop potentially use incorrect components? I'm tired of this recurring problem and need a solution that will actually last. …more
