The first of these cable goes to your converter panel under the couch. The second goes directly to the generator, for starting the generator. Slight correction here - not only is it used for starting, but the generator for some reason must see 12 volts on that line while it's running or it will shu...

Thanks for the reply. She's been visiting a friend and is connected to the 110v house power there which is probably a 15A circuit. I'm wondering now if she's overloaded some circuit in the RV by running the A/C, water pump, and who knows what else. I'll pass along your info. Keep in mind that the A...

My sincere apologies to those who have requested accounts recently and haven't heard back yet! Unfortunately, a bunch of things have gotten in the way recently: 1. I was having trouble with the new server mail setup. 2. We were out of town last weekend. 3. We had an earthquake which didn't do any da...

Is this just CYA? Hmmm... I suspect you are using a 45-A upgrade, and Skater, IIRC, is using a 60-A upgrade. Did you replace all the wiring to match the current carrying capacity of the upgrade? Somehow, I can't believe that the 3A difference from 32 to 35A is that big a risk, but I am interested i...

I try to keep the camper generally ready for a trip for similar reasons - you never know when the power is going to be out for a couple days, or something. However, we don't keep the water tank filled - it's just not worth the trouble in my opinion, and it doesn't take long to fill it. Our basic pla...

No, mine doesn't hit anything. Actually now that you mention it I'm not sure if it swings as wide as it otherwise would - there might be a stop on it somewhere that limits its travel. It goes past 90 degrees though.

Mine has one from the factory as well. My only comment is that you can tell a huge difference in how the door closes when the tire is on there. Over time that extra weight is going to wear on the hinges. On the other hand mine is 20 years old and still closes fine, so...

I'm trying to locate my 5-Amp generator fuel pump fuse. My unit looks like the generator in Alaskan's first fuse photo, except that the writing that says, "5 Amp fuse" isn't there--nor is the fuse or fuse holder. It does say, "AC Circuit Breaker", and has the same arrow. I defin...

Sounds like you've zeroed in on the problem.

Ah, one thing I forgot. If you are linking to your avatar on another site ("Link to off-site avatar" option in the Profile menu), it won't work on the new server due to security restrictions. Your best bet is simply to upload the avatar to this server.

I think the only thing that would worry me is that you want to be able to run the bathroom fan in the rain. Otherwise I can't see any problems - there should be enough room for it and all.

If you're seeing this, you're now on the new server! Basically now we just have to wait for the DNS to update, which can take up to 48 hours from when I made the change (about 10 minutes ago). Everything SHOULD work, but please poke around and let me know if you find anything amiss. If you had to lo...

Hi folks! The website has been copied to the new server but currently when you load b190.com, you're still looking at the old server. I'll be updating the DNS records in the next day or two to point to the new server. With a little luck, you'll never even know it happened. However, there is a possib...

Okay, so the one from the trailer is the correct size, but a different design. The trailer one is 1-3/8" across the bottom part and 1-5/8" across the top of the basket. The trailer one has a screw thing that you turn to stop the flow of water. The B190 does not have those threads - it look...

Yeah, definitely haven't seen one like that before.
