  1. I'd expect the 32 amp spec applies to the lower voltage output. 32a @ 12v would pull 8a @ 48v.
  2. Holding tank heaters are also a possibility.
  3. I would think the RC model community would be a great resource. Servo driving the rheostat Wireless servo controller driving the servo. A boxed Arduino or Raspberry-Pi with digital display & + - buttons for your controller.
  4. Freezing the tiny vacuum break atop the shower fixture is the weak spot. I added 2 stops, 2 tees, & 2 drain stops with drain tubes to the outside. I isolate the shower, open the drains, & back blow from the hose with 60psi air. We've never frozen up (mid to lower 20's F) I tried Watts 3 way Flairit valves but they failed to stop water getting to the shower fixture side.
  5. Howdy Sorry you are having issues. Below is a youtube video for a different model Dometic but May provide a clue as to what you are looking for. (Red wire into a black plastic tube)
  6. Hi Jennifer Ministries As others have noted knowing which breaker is tripping would improve our ability to narrow down the issue & offer more accurate suggestions. Without more info, I see 4 possible breakers involved depending on equipment installed. Distribution panel Main breaker. Distribution panel AC breaker. Generator breaker. EMS contactor (breaker)? In my case the EMS contactor was opening on low voltage, the generators were still supplying power. A Micro-Air Easy Start device solved the issue and I can start & run the AC on a single EU2200i Honda with the fridge on electric & converter in trickle mode. It will also interrupt the AC power should someone start the microwave, toaster, or coffee maker, etc. It will restore the AC once conditions improve. The Micro-Air is $$$ but can be swapped into future AC units if a replacement becomes warranted.
  7. As others have stated above it appears your compressor is getting hard to start. Some have suggested to swap out the start capacitor if present. Might I suggest an alternate approach. Hutch Mountain Run AC with 1 Generator - Micro-Air Easy Start 364 This is a Magic box that once installed will learn your compressor electrical characteristics over 5 shorepower starts and then will run on 1 Honda EU2200i in ECO mode. If there should develop an additional load, toaster, hair drier, microwave, etc. this gizmo will interrupt the AC till conditions improve. Generator and EMS if present will not trip & dump the trailer. I just installed 2 Honda EU2200i Generators to replace a 12YO EU3000i (failed inverter) and found I needed both generators paralleled and @ full throttle to start the AC compressor or the EMS would open the contactors on low voltage. I installed the Micro-Air unit and I can now start & run the AC on a single EU2200i with the fridge on AC & PD converter in trickle mode with a few amps to spare. This is not a cheap solution but if your compressor is indeed on its last leg it will buy you time to save & plan a replacement & just move the Micro-Air to the new AC unit. I'm just a very satisfied customer with no other connection to the Micro-Air or Hutch Mountain organization.
  8. An issue we had on both our Titanium's was excessive wire run between the switch & motor. 70 + feet counting both ways. I built a relay system close to the motor & slide performance improved dramatically. About 8 feet both ways. You may want to audit the wire connections for solid strong mechanical contact.
  9. I'd look for a mixing valve at the hot outlet. If present they are known for failing due to scaling. Many remove it and manually regulate the discharge temp with the bypass valve. One last thing to check is the outside shower. If both valves are open with the shower head valve closed hot & cold will mix. Water heaters with mixing valves maintain higher tank temperatures. This coupled with mixing in cold creates an apparent larger capacity tank. There is a scalding risk if the mixing valve is eliminated and no cold water is mixed via the bypass.
  10. Not sure this would work. If the TV provides a browser try loading a page with it. The campground WiFi should redirect to its signin page. I've been in campgrounds where they have effectively prevented router and streaming devices from obtaining a connection. The most recent was using WiFiRanger gear throughout the park.
  11. I've tried both Zep and Poli-Glo, it seems the Zep is not as UV resistant. I now only use the Poli-Glo.
  12. Was 12 VDC present at the rear of the fridge? There is a small terminal board just forward of the circuit board on the floor with V+ & Gnd. Our fridge is fed directly from the main 12VDC distribution area near the batteries & bypasses the AC/DC distribution panel so I would check for fuses/circuit breakers there as well. I can't say our unit is typical as each Mfg. has their own method & plan.
  13. Re Hoses.

    I am interested in your hoses. We are currently in NH. You anywhere near?

    TIA
