How not to repair a 50 amp shore line

Posted 09-07-2023 at 02:18 PM by HiBanky

I bought this 2005 journey five years ago. I noticed at that time that the 50 amp extension cord had what look to be a kitchen range plug on the end. It seemed to be working fine so I paid it little mind until today when it just burnout. Thankfully it didn’t cause a fire. Clearly somebody really didn’t know what they were doing when they added this inadequate receptacle. I replaced it with one for an RV.

Xantrex 1000 Panel Problem

Posted 08-22-2023 at 11:27 AM by Bass75
Updated 08-22-2023 at 11:36 AM by Bass75

I have a 2017 Aspect and the Xantrex Xm1000 Panel does not power up. The inverter itself is working. I’m getting power to it and the GFCI Is green. I pressed the reset button on side the unit and didn’t make a difference. I unplugged the panel from the inverter side. If anyone has experience with this problem please advise

Thanks

Upgrade Weather Pro drive motor

Posted 08-12-2023 at 02:19 PM by HiBanky
Updated 08-12-2023 at 02:22 PM by HiBanky

The drive motors for the older Weather Pro electric awnings are getting hard to find and once more they have a design flaw that has been eliminated in the newer model. The old motor can be replaced with the new but not without swapping out the arm attachment parts. Not a difficult task but there are some pitfalls to avoid. Check out my blog (Weather Pro Awning not moving) for details on removing the motor with the awning fully extended. Be careful !!

With both the old and new motors...

2022 2801bhs cot breaker issue

Posted 07-30-2023 at 05:04 PM by KenSpatz

Back story, we bought our Minnie because one of its features was we could run both a/c’s at the same time. Fact is even when we run run it pops the park circuit breaker numerous times a day. We have had this happen at every park we visit. We are baffled as to why. Any suggestions out there?
