Steve, I suspect running the headlights with a smart alternator has a similar effect by the load of the lights kicking up the alternator which would give more charging available to the car's battery also. It would be a similar effect as the load the smart alternator mode in the CTEK. Cary

Steve, Your CTEK has a "Smart Alternator mode" built in. It activate it simply turn your running lights on while driving. The sense lead for turning on the Smart Alternator mode is connected to the running lights and that signal will tell it to turn on. When not in Smart Alternator mode the...

This is usually something caused by a open cooler drain. So, you are not the first to run into this. That area is all silicone sealed but no matter how well sealed around the edge it always seems to find a way to get through. Cary

X and/or zipper is soft side.

Jim, The mounting screws for the door latch are not the same size as the rest of the camper. The other hex heads are #8 screws and your door latch should be held on with #12 screws. If they are not #12 then someone has changed them. Cary

Hey, I was just talking to an owner today that is towing his Camp-Inn with a EV. It is a Kia EV6 and he is regular on a EV6 forum and there are some good threads on there about towing. Here is a post he posted on there about regenerative braking: Theoretical Question about regen/towing His...

AC outlets do not work unless you have shore power. There is no connection to the DC power system and the AC outlets. The only way you can power up the AC outlets is to be connected to a shore power connection, whether it be campground power, portable generator or a solar generator box. Cary

Cortney, Make sure to email Camp-Inn your contact info so we can set you up as the new owner of 326 in our system and move it's pin on the map to your location. Cary

Exactly! There are a good number of DC to DC chargers that would work for this like a Victron or a RedArc. Cary

The CTEK does not do the same thing as the battery charger. It is a DC to DC charger that is going to use the charge line from the tow vehicle to charge the battery while driving. A lithium battery needs to have a DC to DC charger to protect the alternator on the tow vehicle. So, yes we are...

Ken, We have not created a cost yet for converting a pre-2016 Camp-Inn to the lithium battery. We will have to do a modification for someone first to create the cost for it. Fitting in the larger charger is what I am not sure how to do yet. On a 2016 or newer it is a direct change out for the...

Carl, Yes, we can easily add this to your order. Shoot us an email about if you want to do this. Been busy doing this all day actually. Cary

Don't forget hand cleaner and paper towels/rags. Cary

Some sort of capacity meter will be needed to determine the battery level since battery voltage does not work for determining capacity with lithium. Something to think about, maybe one of the good capacity meters like the TriMetric or a Victron. Cary

It really is not a straight drop in. The charger would have to be changed also. Which would be easy to do on your vintage. The camper needs to have the CTEK option and TriMetric option also. So, there are some limitations to retrofits. Cary

Lithium Battery Upgrade: Upgrade your battery to a 110 Ah Lithium (LiFePO4) with heated cells. Larger capacity (110Ah) than the standard 75Ah Deep Cycle or AGM option. Run time 40-50% longer than AGM batteries. Heated cells allow charging of a Lithium battery at temperatures below 32f. 5000...

Yes, filling the hub with grease causes it to run hot. Hubs that use a bearing buddy or other grease gun type filling method that fills the hub solid with grease causes the hub to be speed rated to a lower speed. Really any of those type of hubs are going to be 55mph hubs. Spinning them faster...

Sweeney, The parking brake assembly is a different assembly. This is the one here: https://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Brakes/Dexter/K23-103-104-00.html Cary

Not too bad. Prices are up slightly but generally available. Cary
