RE: Domestic frig in 2002.....replacement available??
Yep.....that's about all we do is boondock on beaches/islands, but 400watts of solar, 2-100amp BattleBorns, plus generator keeps everything A-OK!

RE: Domestic frig in 2002.....replacement available??
Direct replacement which is propane/electric. He has BattleBorn lithium's like I do but don't need to run it off 12v. Generator available if propane acts up.

RE: Domestic frig in 2002.....replacement available??
He used the link to order the factory coil pack. Severe rust occurred from beach use and then sitting way too long between uses; the rusted coils broke while driving, so, remove old and install replacement (yet to be done but this is the best solution).

RE: Domestic frig in 2002.....replacement available??
Sorry, brother gave wrong info. He has a DOMETIC RM2652 refrigerator. It has the separate freezer up top. Looking on Dometic website they only offer 9 models and none appear to have a freezer/frig together...odd? It's in a 2002 Ford E450.
Any specific sources are greatly appreciated.

Domestic frig in 2002.....replacement available??
Brother had his refrigerator coils rust out and was looking for a replacement and cannot find one. Anyone know of a source to find suitable replacement? He found a vendor who sells the coils but $1000+ just for those.
Thanks for any information we can follow to a replacement or repair.

RE: Driver’s captain chair E450
I ordered new leather seats from the DiscountVanTruck link above and got the Anza ZX and was very surprised how comfortable it is! Obviously, opinion vary so it's a difficult choice to roll the dice. Only drawback: I had to order the custom swivel base (stock Ford would not work for their seats) and this was another $300 on top of the $528 for the chair. Lastly, the swivel base will NOT swivel due to configuration in my Class C with the seat beat bracketry. But, very happy with the much more comfortable seats!

RE: Class C without a house battery bank???
Glad it seems to be just an uninformed seller. I bought a C from a gentleman that had similar "limited knowledge" on RV things.....generator won't start and talked him down another $5000 due to that and 5 year old tires. Replaced the house battery when I got it home and purred like a kitten.

RE: Can toll booths read transponder w/C overhang?
I mounted mine on the window above the overhead cab bed since it was having too many issues not reading on the front windshield. Obviously know that most newer units do NOT (thankfully) have the bedroom window leak-monster, but mine ain't leaking yet and check it quite often.

RE: Rust on Boiler Tube
My RV has been on the beach for 17 years and the refrigerator tubing is totally rusted but still working. I occasionally have to tap it lightly with a hammer/screwdriver to keep upflow for flame moving into the tube, but otherwise, it just keeps running.

RE: Towing 4-wheels down.....braking required for vehicle?
From what I've read, the surge brake has a shock-style cylinder that activates at 250lbs of pressure applied from the toad in a braking or shoving situation from the toad onto the RV via the surge brake tongue connection. Simple, straight-forward cable connection that if installed correctly, should work in those situation you describe in Alaska. Force is force regardless if its from braking/sliding/slipping/bucking.....too much pressure and the surge brake will pull on the toad brake pedal as needed. Obviously, if the toad goes sideways in a slide all bets are off (as in most all braking systems).

RE: Towing 4-wheels down.....braking required for vehicle?
Haha......saw the photo and thought you were serious!! :) Yeah, trying to avoid the redneck fix-it-yourself-and-go process! I'll be using a 4" riser hook as well since my Jeep has a lift on it to ensure straight pulling and proper engagement of surge braking. Just waiting on the parts to be delivered and then wiring up the toad to the RV.

RE: Towing 4-wheels down.....braking required for vehicle?
Thanks for all the info. Using the surge brake from NSA as well as breakaway cable in case the worst happens. Fortunately, the aftermarket metal front bumper with winch and D-hooks can be used instead of a Blue Ox mounting bracket which saves some $$. All in all, converting to 4-down isn't costing me the price I received selling my tow dolly.

Towing 4-wheels down.....braking required for vehicle?
Bought a 2018 Jeep Wrangler and moving from a tow-dolly to this setup. Wondering if the auxiliary braking system is required. I didn't have anything other than emergency cable brake for trailer in case it came detached from the RV. I've bought a used Blue Ox towing bar and was looking at a Blue Ox braking unit that sits on floor of tow vehicle. Just seeing what the best setup is to be safe. Thanks!!
PS: Ok, I ordered the NSA Ready Brake receiver surge brake and one question: Do you guys just turn on running lights if driving at night, or did you run additional wiring?

RE: Leveling Blocks
Got those 3-level one piece as shown above and love them. They stack together beneath my sofa and super easy and very strong. Otherwise, salt-treat wood can be used to create the same thing.

RE: Class C RV model recommendations
I agree with the Conquest 6280 design!! I have a 28A Thor product which is almost identical in layout and LOVE IT! Especially the doorway to block off front living space from bed/bath when one is getting ready for the day. Separate shower is very nice so other can be shaving/brushing teeth or "other" duties :) Never have understood the diesel preference myself (cost/maintenance/did I mention $$$?). Best of luck on your search.
