    Does anyone live in Northern Nevada and have a Camp Inn they can show me?

    And/or grab that quality slider and see if you still like the image at maybe 800px wide and good/70 quality.

    Lots of opinions on Canopies

    We in the PNW know that you can easily break the frame of an Alcove overnight. Somewhere here, maybe even in this thread, are a couple solutions resourceful people have devised. One was a half dozen bungies on each side, running from the peak to the side top rail, creating support to drain...

    Replacing gas lines, how to DIY?

    I'm glad that you found it straightforward, more power to you @Randy. I think of myself as a multi skilled person with tools and methods, but there's always something new; I found it challenging to get the whole thing hot enough (but not too hot!) all at the same time to pry it out. Then...

    Not so Fantastic Fan experience

    That's a great summary Sweeney. It's such a shame what's been done to most of the big RV industry in the leveraged buy out era. Note that slide out mechanisms failures are high up on the list of what new RV owners experience. And those who go out of state to find stock of the configuration they...

    Often CampInn knows someone willing to show, worth a call!

    Replacing gas lines, how to DIY?

    I was remembering that we’ve not discussed propane much here, and went looking for this thread https://campinnforum.com/community/threads/mr-heater-buddy-connection-to-aux-propane-port.6161/ which was the beginning of my learning. I guess you could call that thread “pitfalls of matching...

    Replacing gas lines, how to DIY?

    Well, this is what I’ve been reluctant to say. That method is how it’s done, after carefully removing the screw in the sink drain. Reluctant because it involves using heat near the gas lines and wood cabinets. In my opinion the basic safety practices are to completely exhaust all gas from both...

    Replacing gas lines, how to DIY?

    Removing the utilities connections box would only give you access to the junctions between it and the sink. Because there’s only an inch of depth there, just enough for 90-deg elbows, you don’t have space to check or replace the gas line, only that last quick-connect fitting. No, it’s adhered...

    Replacing gas lines, how to DIY?

    I did go in that area, it is to the left of the sink and very hard to get there. I’d call it special tools and methods, not least of which is getting out the sink!

    Not so Fantastic Fan experience

    I guess I’d describe it as a firm sharp pull with the hand and wrist. My fan is what was installed by CI in 2012 as the rain sensing upgrade.

    12v/12v chargers (CTEK!) and your TV’s alternator

    A few years back I installed a CTEK 12v/12v 20a charger, same as CI supplies as an option. This morning I came across this test relative to larger chargers and how their loads may impact the life of an alternator. Conclusion: not a concern when driving (higher alternator rpm). Could be a...

    Um… I am often identified with my brutish strength, but I haven’t broken off that particular part- yet!

    Not so Fantastic Fan experience

    My auto FF is older and slightly different. If the motor engages, I wait until it finishes its cycle, either fully open or closed, and the motor shuts off. Then, I pull the manual crank knob downward until it disengages from the motor with a click. From there I can open/close manually without...

    Lithium Battery

    I was never sure about this, but near as I could figure out the amperage figure battery manufacturers spec for charging is the max a particular battery will draw. Again, it’s been a while, but in researching the Victron Super Duty AGM batteries I bought (one still in use as the CI “house”...

    Replace lightbulbs with LED

    I also did this project, being super stingy with power use. Somewhere I posted about the amazon part #s, but it was so long ago that they’re likely obsolete. The process is to figure out the base that’s needed - ah, I found my old post...

    Lithium Battery

    Oh, please don’t take me for the grammar police! It used to be that automotive electric specialty shops were commonplace, and would do anything you wanted after a little head scratching. I don’t know how many are left! But it’s also true that the truck bed camper crew were customizing much...

    Lithium Battery

    Long lines = voltage drop, larger wire helps reduce or eliminate drop. I believe *my* U-Haul shop installed 10ga wire (that’s not the same as 10a!) From my understanding that’s standard for an automotive power circuit, but… not completely sure how many shops agree with that! Back in my...

    Scissors jack stabilizers - a word of warning

    A previous owner of our 560 likely tried to drive away with the jacks down. They still worked, but were very hard extending and retracting. Same experience as you @gregangsten in replacing them. Some very difficult angles for reaching nuts and bolts. Probably a set of (obscure but still...
