BUZZZZZKILLLLLLL :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash:

Your right, I unpluggeed the rv to drive it around, and now the fridge won't work.  So were back to the block of ice in the bottom of the fridge.  I'm thinking of a quick test run before I take it surfing for the month.  .

I think I'll run the dog to the desert.    :tup:

Thanks for the advice.

Trip Report

Snoqualmiem Pass to the Deschutes area of Oregon.....

Ran like a dream.  Held oil pressure, Never had to back shift on any of the passes, the engine ran like a dream.  Not that fast, but 41 on the climbs, 51 on the flats and 60-65 on open highway no issues.  We'll leave it down there for a bit, then bring it back before hunting season.

I LOVE Camper/RV rebuilds like the one you have done... Done one for my own hunting/camping trailer that is all go and no show... Just a couple of questions and thoughts... For you battery drain you can put in an isolator. Many boats have an battery isolator that you can swith between engine, home and both. That way while driving you charge both batteries and then when you get there you isolate you engine batterie to OFF so that it cant drain.  :twocents:  One other thought for your power is to get some of those Harbor freight solar pannels to keep the juice up, if you can plug in its not an issue but...

Did you use Pex or wirsbo pipe? Considering where you live those work awesome...
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

How easy are solar pannels?

So on propane, my freezer works awesome, but the fridge stays luke cool-warm.  Now the fins are cool, so I'm going to look for a sealing issue, but i'm interested in solar pannels for sure...

Sorry, all pipping is was brand new, theres both, but were not keeping it up here.

I think it may be a feone coolant issue I'm having the same kind of problme with mine right now... Trying to figure out if i should have it repaired or just pulled out. They make 12 volt coolers with a built in cooling system for the stuff you MUST keep cold...
