I’ve been doing this for years, it works great. I have a smaller inverter I’m not trying to run the A/C just a couple outlets.

I still have to find the answer, but I want to live in a 1984 GMC 3500 motorhome. I can’t really find out how much BTU each item uses. However, I am assuming the heater in the motorhome will be a lot higher than 20,000 BTU?

Thank you

Thanks I am going to try this steps but first turn on my propane tanks and check for leaks and then head inside my RV and hope everything goes well from Dallas 👍.and also I bought a generator just in case 😁GOD Bless .

I have an Attwood GE16EXT combo GAS/Electric water heater. I believe there is a design problem on the controller board that causes infant mortality (some might call it a retroactive abortion) of the PCB's transistor that sends 12VDC to energize the Relay mounted behind the heater that sends 120VAC to the heating element. I have had to replace the potted controller TWICE in a 3-year period because the yellow wire was not getting energized. Otherwise, a $0.25 transistor is all that would be necessary. The Propane portion of the heater was working. It is good engineering practice to add a DIODE (1N4001) to clamp the back EMF produced when the relay is deenergized. I soldered the Cathode to the yellow wire and the Anode to the Green wire in position #6 of the connector. This way the new controller's transistor will not be damaged in the future. The PCB's relay that sends power to the Gas Valve may very well have a similar issue but there is no way to add a protection diode due to the potting compound.

Thank you. I just purchased my first used trailer and was under the impression I needed gas to run the fridge. Now I know it runs on both!

Wow , I hope cleaning the igniter probes will fix my problem thank you

I had a pair of Fantastic vent fans in my truck sleeper and really enjoyed having the air come in from the cab and out the roof. Mine had all the controls on the fan and no remote. I do like the idea of being able to use it as a ceiling fan but that's not a deal breaker. I often ran them on opposite flows, at lower speeds to keep the sound level down. If I bought one of the two brands you showed, it would be the MaxxFan for the build quality.

What if Renology 2000w with ATS in it ie installed in the place of converter?

Why do you need the converter!

other than "thats how it was before" how would you know to which battery connect the solar charger, inverter and trailer power. I saw one battery got the solar charger and the other battery got the inverter/trailer power.

Does the Renogy Voyager charge controller have an app available, if so what is it called....thank you

Are you saying that you don't need to light a pilot light?

I like that weight for foot calculation. Thank you

It's spelt Soldering as in sold ering not soder ing

Only video that I seen that considered loss and had a solution. Thanks

Thank You for sharing ! 😊

I have a question my camper is hooked up to my sister's house and the battery still goes dead and I have a battery charger charging it around the clock smh shouldn't it run off the electric instead of the battery?

IF you checked the back and sides of thst furnace. You possibly MIGHT have Some unused ports thst are capped off, then you could uae one of those so that your not having to cut thru existing ducting.

Bro that's crazy I literally just asked that question in my head and this video popped up. Perfect timing. And yeah I figured

Three-way domestic fridge , what type of fuse required into coach battery? Thanks by the way thanks for sharing your knowledge

Thanks first Winter ❄️ Winter is coming my propane heater quit I found out it was a loose fuse

That's must be an earlier style anderson wdh. The newer one is just bought has a different pivoting plate.

I didn’t want to be “that guy” on the internet, but at 2:09 what you are pointing at as the heating element is not the heating element. On an Atwood/Dometic the 110 heating element is on the back side, bottom edge, along with its power control relay. The control board will send +12v on the yellow wire when calling for heat from the 110 element. That yellow wire runs to the power relay at the back that closes to energizes the heating element. In most applications the water heater has to be removed to change the 110 element on an Atwood. What you are pointing to are the ECO (emergency cut off) on the left, and the thermostat on the right. The thermostat should have continuity only when below its set temperature. The ECO is a safety and will shut the unit down if the thermostat fails closed and temperatures exceed normal range. Generally they come as a set that includes the foam cover, ECO and Thermostat. Once the foam is peeled off the thermostat and eco just twist to align tabs with slots to pull out. I’d also mention the silver thing in clear tubing on the right lug of the thermostat is also a safety/thermo cutoff. It’s above the burner assembly for a reason. If a person leaves the propane side on while traveling, wind can draw the flame out of the burner, and (don’t bet on it) that safety might open and prevent a disaster.

Do you still use a EMS surge protector ?

Add a transfer relay to your system so you can plug in a shore cord and not blow yourself up or burn down the camper. I use the 80A double pole double throw from Amazon. You wire the coil to the shore power. Now add some solar panels and a charge controller to the mix to charge your batteries.

Copyco loses this one!!

I commend you for your honesty with Renogy’s mistake. Sadly, it’s rare to see people do the right thing. Very inspiring🙏

There's an adapter that is 2 15amp connectors at one end and a 50amp connector at the other end. The 50amp connectors connects to the trailers's 50amp power cord and the 2 15amp plugs use 2 15amp outlets on the inverter. I only have a 3000watt inverter so I will only get about 25amps thru out my trailer to manage. I can run everything including my A/C. There only restriction will be how much battery ah's and solar I have.

I have a toy hauler and I did a very similar hook up seven years ago. I installed roof solar and then I have some secondary solar that I hang from my slide out and from the back garage door I have a huge underbelly compartments that’s where I put some additional batteries and my inverter And because my power cord is right there, it was an easy connect, for me as long as I have my coffee pot that’s all I needed the RV house battery is a WEIZE 200 amp hour Matt battery that’s what I chose for the house battery the last battery I had like that lasted me 17 years For my inverter, I bought some lithium ion batteries and I made a box under the belly where I did all the connection still going strong. The only difference that I did is I ran power cords throughout the RV which took some doing. I ran one to the front where the bed is Where my computer is there are two in the kitchen and there are two in the garage so I could run my inverter one of two ways I could plug-in those cords that I have isolated specifically for the task or I could continue with the plug-in method which I prefer That gives me 110 adaptability in the coach battery runs all the 12 V DEF battery will last pretty much a month of running all the 12 V accessories my fridge of course runs on propane. I’m glad the algorithm sent me to your video. I’ll have to watch your others. Seems like we think similar though I’m significantly older than you. Good luck.

Is there 110 volts at the thermostat?

I have an old truck and Lance camper (80s) I added a 200ah lithium battery, two 100w solar panels with a charge controller, and a 3000w inverter. When I travel long distances with my fridge running off the inverter, it kills my battery. I'd like to add my truck's charging system while towing through the existing 7-pin connection that has a 10awg wire available in the engine compartment. It has a 120-amp alternator and dual AGM batteries. It needs to disconnect automatically when the truck is off. What do I need?

what are some signs that this friction cone needs replacing?

Thanks for the lesson very well explained and didn't realize igniter is also sensor that will cause flame not to stay on, just ordered spare. Cheers my friend

Keep the batteries and inverter in the truck, charging while driving. Plug the extension in inverter using a remote control light switch. Much simpler.

I have my fans opposite of yours. My maxxair is in my bathroom and I love the green auto light. It’s like a night light in my bathroom.

Does anyone make a reliable, durable, quiet fan with manual controls and crank with just three speeds? Everything I have described is cheap and you find them poop out in a season as well as being unbalanced.

How would check you batteries to see if they are charged? Is there a duel battery meter?

Is this made in USA?

Hy. On Maxxfan you have a button for just opening/closing even when turned off🙂

No offense but, this is, KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID at it's finest! (runs to store to buy what I need for this exact same set up lol)

When we turn on pump switch on it shorts out and blows fuse. We replace water heater. Everything was fine until we got ready to use camper

So where is the element?

Hello Eric. Do you have a more detailed picture or movie on replacing the water heater element? Thanks Chuck

Can you see the night sky when it's dark, I want to open my vent and see the stars xx

I installed my first one last week and my second one will be here this week are you still loving them? Any issues? Thanks!

You forgot to show that you can see what your temp is in your RV by pushing the up or down button when it is on the off setting.

My issue is I have no power to the hot water heater at all. I have power at the on off switch. The propane detector is working it clicks the on off so annoyed on and off but no power to the hot water heater. I’m baffled.

Sir, you’re pointing to the ECO and the thermostat which you stated were heating elements. It’s an easy mistake to make. Those are not the heating elements. I’m sure a lot of people already told you that, but I’m just checking to make sure. Thank you for the good video.
