The RC7-GS inverter charger can properly charge 105Ah AGM batteries using the 125Ah setting, as AGM charging is voltage-based, not capacity-dependent. Generator start issues typically stem from wiring problems or incorrect DIP switch configurations.
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.
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.
A Norcold N7LX.3F running more frequently than normal typically indicates cooling efficiency problems. Check door seals, thermostat calibration, and ensure proper ventilation around the cooling unit.
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.
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.
Your Progressive Dynamics converter needs either a lithium-compatible charge wizard upgrade (PD9160ALV) or complete replacement with a modern lithium-capable charger like the AIMS or Progressive Dynamics PD9200 series.
LiFePO4 lithium batteries like the Dyness can replace lead acid batteries, but you'll likely need to upgrade your converter/charger to a lithium-compatible model. The BMS protects the battery from overcharging and provides longer life with faster charging.
Frigidaire FFET1222 dimensions are generally accurate. Allow 1-2 inch clearance on all sides for ventilation. Measure your opening carefully including door swing and handle depth.
For the Jamboree fridge, check LP gas flow, burner for debris, and 12V power. Ford 460 EFI conversion costs more than the RV is worth - maintain the carburetor instead.
Prop residential RV refrigerator door open during storage, same as traditional RV fridges. This prevents mold and odors from trapped moisture. Clean thoroughly, dry completely, and use baking soda for odor absorption.
Reduce RV noise with sound deadening on doghouse, mass loaded vinyl, and weatherstripping. Address rattles with felt pads. Expect improvement not perfection.
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 Norcold 1210 isn't cooling despite showing no error codes, the most common causes are cooling unit failure, poor ventilation, or low DC voltage. Check airflow, clean coils, and test voltage before considering cooling unit replacement.
