thanks 8-lug. here is the correct link http://withalittlemoxie.com

we're on the road! finally I know I'm resurrecting an old post, but just wanted to update you kind folks on our whereabouts... We're in Baja, just arrived in our favorite city of La Paz yesterday. We just spent a week free camping at Playa Tecolote and we're here to take showers, get supplies...

Wow, lemsteraak, that's some good knowledge! I didn't think to check to see if it was raw or burnt propane I was smelling so I went and tuned on my stovetop, and boy that stank. Nothing like what I was smelling coming out of the reefer. So I turned to my flue and baffle. The baffle was...

This picture shows the miss-alignment of the burner jet and the burner tube. This one shows my little tinfoil tunnel.

Ok. I checked all the connections, I have the original manual so I'm pretty sure I didn't miss any. No leak coming from the connections. Looking at the burner and the jet however, it seems like they are not lined up right. Looking in the direction the gas goes, the opening to the burner tube...

I'm wondering if there are any other possible places a propane leak can occur before I check the connections that are more difficult to access. I'm sure it's coming from the rear of the unit.

Thank you uk. I will try that. We can unfortunately eliminate the bottle as it is outside.

Hi all, We're about a week away from taking our trip down to Central America and on our last shakedown camping trip our fridge started smelling like propane. It cools fine in all three modes. I checked all the visible gas connections behind the unit and found only one loose one, which I...

S@#t! Does that mean that if I'm using 6AWG for the three circuits at 13mm2 each, then the last stretch has to be 1AWG??? Does the cable connecting the batts have to be the same size too?

Thanks for the reply. Yes, those are two 6V batteries, 225 amp/hr. I think I'll use the largest size wire each component will accept, keep the wire runs as short as possible and fuse for the wire size like you suggested. Thanks for that. I sure hope I didn't get it wrong; I understood that...

note: I already have all the components, just need to buy wires and fuses. And that's what I need advice on: wire gauges and fuse ratings. The CC will be maybe 4 feet worth of wire away from the batteries. The inverter about the same. The DC fuse box like 5 or 6 feet away and the panels...

i saw your epic of a thread somewhere else on the forum, and seem to remember that one of your rigs' flatbed used floating mounts where it was attached to your truck's frame. i remember seeing a picture of valve springs, which is what i want to do as well. how did it work out? can you give me...

involved, but doable. i think i will be bolting the camper through the floor, probably for s---s and giggles use 6 bolts. and the boxes under the overhangs are going to provide them with some support.

i found it, thank you. i'm going to be bolting the camper through the deck of the flatbed, since that's one of the requirements for converting my 1 ton commercial registration to rv registration, thus saving me a coupla hundred bucks every year. if i use the same type of mounting as you did...

interesting... do you have a picture of your angle iron set up that you could show me? thanks, mike
