RE: Can you list your rv for sale

Did you try listing on craigslist.org ?
For RVs it is a free listing,
Costs $5.00 in some areas now. I know this is true in WA State.
Fee was implemented about a year or so ago.

RE: Cabover clearance w/new truck?

Ford did away with the shark fin antenna, my truck has (2) lower profile antenna's, 1 on each corner at the rear of the cab.
That's good news. I saw a Ford the other day with two bumps near the CHMSL and wondered if they were new style antennas.

RE: Cabover clearance w/new truck?

Occasionally the sharkfin antenna of Ford trucks has poked a hole in the underside of the cabover of an Arctic Fox truck due to lack of clearance.
3/4" should be good, but you might consider checking out this group

RE: Spare tire pressure

I'd make the dealer solve the problem and let them deal with getting reimbursed from the manufacturer.

RE: New Ranger for towing

I... Maybe even a small 5th wheel.
I've never seen a 5th wheel that's small enough to be towed by a mid-sized truck in recent years.

RE: Making my onboard generator quieter

The title of this post is deceiving.
It's not deceiving at all. Watch the video and you can see that the resonator did indeed reduce the sound.

RE: Maxxfan delux latent power draw

Is it only the version that's operated via remote that has a parasitic draw?

RE: What did you do to your Camper Today?

Installed a Victron Energy Orion-Tr Smart 12/12-Volt 30 amp 360-Watt DC-DC Charger behind the drawers in my AF 992
Here's the details.
And here's the details on the heavy gauge wiring from the truck to the camper

RE: What did you do to your Camper Today?

What happened to your display monitor? It needs a thorough cleaning.
I put a thermometer in my Engel compressor

RE: What did you do to your Camper Today?

I installed some sound deadening material in my generator compartment:
Noico Sound deadening mat in gen compartment
I found the mat on Amazon

Making my onboard generator quieter

Here's a good project that reduced the sound output on my onboard generator. Part number is of the resonator is 155-2449. I had a local car exhaust shop do the welding.

RE: Tankless Hot Water Heater (Gas)

In an RV there is little need for unlimited hot water.
Unless you have a family and everyone needs to shower in a short period of time.

RE: Tailgate for a truck camper

I’ll have to call shenanigans on this.
There was a typo in my post. I fixed it.
Yep, I have seen bent tailgates from long term usage of hauling stuff that rests on the tailgate.

RE: Keeping fridge door open while in storage

All the RV fridges that I have seen have a lock that holds the door ajar and locked into that position. Check the manual.
Ditto.
Mine had issues staying locked open until I fixed the problem as shown in this video on a Norcold Fridge

RE: Solar Panel Mounts

On my 2020 AF 865 I used the AM Solar L foot rocker foot mounts.
AM Solar has the best mounting system, I have ever seen for RV solar panels.
I used their panels and mounts on my AF811 as shown in this video
If I ever do another RV Solar project, I will not hesitate to user their mounts and panels again.

RE: Yellowing bathroom walls

I used white Plastidip on the exterior of my skylights to keep the sun from turning the wet bath yellow.
It prevents the problem but doesn't fix already yellowed fiberglass.

RE: Tailgate for a truck camper

There are some exceptions to this. The 10 foot Alaskan Truck Campers are designed to be used in 8 foot beds with the tailgate down and supporting the last couple of feet.
There's an exception to this exception. A lot of newer trucks have a tailgate that is not meant to be a weight carrying support.
I've seen bent tailgates on shortbed trucks where people haul motorcycles where the rear wheel rests on the tailgate instead of the truck bed.

RE: Solar Panel Mounts

Just VHB tape, on a solid roof, will be stronger than a few #8 screws.
VHB tape attached to rubber roof membrane, with the rubber roof membrane being glued to the underlayment of the roof is a horrible idea.
On any rubber roof RV, the panels need screwed down to the wood under the rubber roof.
