Surge Guard 40250-RVC vs 40350-RVC Transfer Switch: Complete Comparison Guide

This 8-year-old transfer switch is getting sluggish during power transfers — worth repairing or should I just upgrade to a newer Surge Guard model? I currently have a Surge Guard 40250-RVC in my 2013 motorhome, but I'm having trouble finding that exact model for replacement. All I can seem to find available is the 40350-RVC model.

My current unit has started making a buzzing sound when connected to shore power. Everything still seems to work fine, but I've heard this might indicate the contacts are starting to fail. I'd rather replace it before it completely goes out and leaves me without power.

Can anyone tell me if the 40250-RVC and 40350-RVC are interchangeable? And should I be concerned about the buzzing, or is there anything I can check before replacing the whole unit? …more

2001 Triple E Diesel Pusher Buying Guide: Critical Inspection Tips & Red Flags

Standing next to my neighbor's flawless 2001 Triple E Signature diesel pusher makes the concerning issues on this one I'm considering buying even more obvious. Never owned a diesel coach before, only gas units. At 24 years old, what are the critical inspection points I should focus on? Should I be concerned about the age, or is Triple E known for quality construction that holds up over time? …more

How to Locate Your Intellitec BD-0 Disconnect Switch Latching Relay in Your RV

Last month what seemed like a simple electrical hiccup in my 2005 Ford E450 Isata 250SL has spiraled into a complete system meltdown. My Intellitec BD-0 disconnect switch isn't working properly and I suspect the latching relay might be the culprit, but I'm honestly afraid I'm going to damage something if I start poking around blindly.

I've been searching everywhere but I just cannot locate this latching relay! I don't want to accidentally disconnect the wrong thing or cause any electrical damage to my coach batteries. Where exactly should I be looking for this relay? I'm being very cautious because I know RV electrical systems can be dangerous if you mess with the wrong components. …more
1999 Monaco LaPalma Front Run Bay Control Panel #166-2011

1999 Monaco LaPalma Front Run Bay Control Panel #166-2011

My 1999 Monaco LaPalma's front run bay control panel #166-2011 had something completely new on it this morning that wasn't there yesterday. I have a 1999 Monaco LaPalma on an F53 chassis, and the front run bay control panel has stopped working completely. From what I can tell, the part number I need is #166-2011.

I've been searching online but I'm not having much luck finding this specific control panel. Are these parts still available anywhere, or am I out of luck since it's such an older unit? Also, is there anything special I should know about compatibility or installation for my particular chassis? Any advice would be really appreciated! …more

Lippert 10540 Controller Replacement: Complete Guide & Alternatives for RV Owners

Nobody warned me that my Lippert 10540 controller would go rogue and start randomly cycling through all the slide positions without me touching anything. My 2006 Damon Tuscany's Lippert 10540 controller has officially given up the ghost, and of course it's been discontinued because why would anything in RV life be simple, right?

I'm staring at this dead piece of technology wondering if I'm supposed to perform some sort of RV séance to bring it back to life, or if there are actually some real-world solutions out there. Are there compatible aftermarket controllers that won't cost me my firstborn? Can I upgrade to something newer that'll actually work with my ancient leveling system? I'm even desperate enough to consider salvage yard hunting at this point - because nothing says "living the dream" like dumpster diving for RV parts!

Anyone else survived this particular brand of RV karma and lived to tell the tale? …more
