Your 2000 Safari Sahar likely has an ACME fitting on the LPG tank that allows for transfer from portable tanks. However, liquid-to-liquid transfer requires specific equipment and safety precautions since you'll be dealing with a permanently mounted tank system.
Fix LP gas detector false alarms in RVs. Covers trigger sources, sensor age, proper placement, and when to replace your propane detector.
Most RV heat pumps draw 12-16 amps when running, well within your 30-amp service capacity. However, you'll need to manage other electrical loads to avoid tripping breakers when the heat pump cycles on.
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.
When your RV furnace blows cold air but won't ignite, the problem is usually a dirty flame sensor, blocked air intake, faulty ignition board, or gas supply issue. Most ignition problems can be diagnosed and fixed with basic cleaning and component checks.
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.
Furnace that lights for 5-10 seconds then shuts off is classic flame sensor failure. Clean the sensor with steel wool or emery cloth - do not use sandpaper. If cleaning fails, replace the sensor. Located near burner, single wire connection.
Furnace running 5-10 minutes then quitting usually indicates overheating from restricted airflow, weak flame, or failing control board. Check combustion air intake, propane pressure, and burner flame quality. Control board becomes suspect if other tests pass.
Your Coleman 9420-381 thermostat has failing solid-state switching components causing voltage drop during heating calls. This is a known issue with this model - replace it with a more reliable thermostat or return to a mechanical relay-based unit.
When your RV propane furnace clicks but won't light, it's usually caused by a dirty or failing igniter, blocked air intake, low propane pressure, or faulty control board. Most issues can be resolved by cleaning the igniter, checking propane supply, and ensuring proper airflow.
Coleman Mach heat strips can be added using the Heat-Ready Control Box. This adds electric heat through your AC while keeping furnace independent. Verify AC model compatibility and check electrical capacity - heat strips draw significant amps.
Furnace rumble and backfire indicates air-fuel mixture problems. Check gas pressure at manifold, deep clean burner by soaking, and inspect heat exchanger. Delayed ignition from weak spark or dirty igniter also causes this. May need replacement on 20+ year unit.
Intermittent flame failure varying from seconds to minutes indicates marginal flame sensor signal or airflow issues. Clean flame sensor with steel wool until shiny. Check combustion air intake and exhaust routing. Gas pressure fluctuation also possible.
When upgrading your Suburban KT30 furnace to the 521099 circuit board, you need to properly connect the flame sensor circuit to get continuous spark ignition instead of just one spark. The new board requires different wiring than simply grounding the old flame sensor wire.
