Results for "suction mount"

Spent all morning staring at my new Tiffin Allegro 33AA trying to figure out how to mount a telescopic flag pole without destroying something. My previous RV had a fixed ladder which made mounting easy and secure, but this new rig doesn't have that option.

I'm concerned about using suction cups or zip ties because they don't seem very secure, and I'm afraid the telescopic flag pole could come loose while driving and cause damage or become a road hazard. The bike rack is already occupied with our bikes, so that's not available either.

What are some safe, secure mounting options that won't damage the RV's exterior? I need something that will hold firmly during highway speeds but won't leave permanent marks or holes in my new rig. …more

Three months into owning my first RV and I'm completely lost on why these black aluminum window frames are hitting 129°F in just 90° weather. I'm pretty sure I could get a nice sear on a steak if I tried.

I'm looking for the most effective ways to tame these heat magnets before they turn my RV into a mobile sauna. I've heard about exterior reflective covers, interior solutions with Reflectix, and I'm wondering what actually works best. Should I be blocking the sun before it hits the frames, or can interior covers do the trick? And how the heck do you attach exterior covers without them flying off down the highway like aluminum kites?

Any battle-tested solutions from fellow victims of the great window frame heat conspiracy would be much appreciated! …more

Despite buying my 2014 Bounder on a 2013 Ford F53 V10 chassis, the previous owner left me with a busted AC expansion valve that's impossible to source. The valve is threaded and standard RV parts suppliers don't seem to carry the right one.

Where can I find commercial-grade AC components for the F53 chassis? Need reliable sources that understand these aren't regular automotive parts. …more

Replaced my old TPMS last month but planning to install this Hieha system Saturday — should I worry about going budget for tire safety? I keep reading horror stories about tire blowouts and I don't want to risk my family's safety with unreliable equipment.

Has anyone actually used the Hieha brand long-term? I'm particularly concerned about accuracy issues and whether the sensors will actually alert me when there's a real problem. Are there better options I should be considering even if they cost more? I'd rather spend extra money upfront than deal with a roadside emergency later. …more

Tried reading my TST TPMS display yesterday and got hit with unreadable tiny numbers, impossible sun glare, AND zero confidence in what I'm actually seeing.

Right now, my current mono display is getting increasingly difficult to read - I can't tell if it's the display fading or my eyesight changing. I've already tried some DIY fixes like making a custom shade for the display and using tape to enhance the backlight, but it's still not great.

Specifically, I'm concerned about dashboard visibility in sunlight. Does anyone know if the color TST displays are actually more visible than the mono ones in sunny conditions? I'm trying to decide if it's worth spending the extra money for color, or if mono would work just as well. Any advice would be really helpful! …more
