    Locating where to cut "Coroplast" underbelly

    I spoke about it with individual groups at the rally, but did not find anyone who was using Mopeka's on black and grey tanks.

    Solar/Inverter/Battery Install in an Avenue 32RLS

    I just drilled thru the wall between the front and basement compartment .. over toward the corner of the basement to avoid it being caught on something loading and unloading.

    Solar/Inverter/Battery Install in an Avenue 32RLS

    From the front compartment, I went into the basement along the ceiling to the wall next where all the wire leads from the back of the converter/charger, fuse panel, That leads up into the wall behind the toilet, which has access to the back of the side of the cabinet at the entry where the...

    Hughes Power Watchdog EPO Install in 32RLS

    Good point. The current WD has a replaceable circuit board in case of your scenario above, and while a do carry one in my spare parts, I've yet to need it in over 300 nights of camping. I have heard from those who have done it that's its a bit of a pain to do ... and that Hughes has addressed...

    Hughes Power Watchdog EPO Install in 32RLS

    On my 32RLS, the back wall of the basement ran diagonally for the last 3rd of it's run (see blue tape line in pic below). I removed it and squared it off to get more storage space. Also, having 90deg angles makes for more efficient for stacking in the space. I was able to remove the incoming...

    I have the ONE (not the PRO) also. 2 years. Very happy so far.

    Adding Factory(ish) Ground Lighting to 32rls?

    I have purchased, but not yet installed these lights. I haven't decided if I want to use the switch on the control panel or mount a switch in the basement. If in the panel, there is a good path via behind the basement wall and to the right of the stairs ... a straight shot up to the panel.

    replace springs?

    Here was my experience: Dealer submitted to Alliance, who submitted to Lippert, who ultimately approved and provided the replacement leafs. (At Lippert's request, I provided my dealer with a CAT scale receipt to show the trailer was not overweight) That approval process took about 3 days, and 3...

    replace springs?

    @Wtrskier , I forgot to add that I also installed Sumo Springs about 6 months after the leaf upgrade, with the thought that would also take some pressure off the leaf springs. So far, its working good. Judging from the shape of the interior space after multiple 1000+ mile trips, it seems to be...

    Locating where to cut "Coroplast" underbelly

    For now, I'm only going to do the fresh tank. Mopeka says not as accurate in black and grey due to the solids in the tank. However, I've read that some have tried it and have been pleased with the results.... It will be a question I'll ask around at the rally to those that have done it .. and...

    Locating where to cut "Coroplast" underbelly

    Not yet .. have them with me. It is a rally to-do.

    replace springs?

    My 32rls built in March/April 2022 had this issue. Alliance authorized a replacement with 6 leaf 6500# springs to fix the issue. (pre and post fix pics below)

    Slide toppers

    Not sure which Avenue you have .. but if like my 32rls (or 30rls would be the same), slide toppers fit fine. I've seen a few folks on here post that dealers make the claim yours is, but they are incorrect .. at least for sure on the 2 models mentioned above.

    36BRM Avenue small issues

    For the screws in the barn doors ... I replaced what was there with a screw that goes all the way thru and connects on the back end of the door. That solved the issue for us.

    Hmmmm Any IDear???

    Brown wire is TStat, I believe. Red is probably 12v ... not sure what it would go to, but there must be a corresponding connection missing a 12v wire.......

    Locating where to cut "Coroplast" underbelly

    I'm going to put in some waaterproof inspection hatches in a couple of areas .... under the AutoLevel sensor, under the fresh tank Mopeka sensor that I'm going to install (needs battery replaced every couple of years or so). I got (stole) that idea from some others on here.

    Maybe A Alliance Avenue 32 RLS, I Have Concerns

    I don't know of any 32RLS that ever received a residential fridge, so I'm sure it's a 12v (residential style). A 12v fridge is much more efficient than a residential when operating off grid. I have a Norcold 12v in my 32rls. Once the fridge is cold (and fridge and freezer gets to temp in...

    SOLVED: Water leak - Maiden voyage - Delta 294RK

    May not apply to your situation, but it may. Helped a friend with a Delta last fall who had a water leak from the coroplast. We focused on the area of the leak, but couldn't find it. Started looking everywhere and found a small leak from below the kitchen sink supply, drip running down the pex...

    Can I run 2 ACs on 30 Amp Service

    General question on SoftStarts and a Victron MPii 2x120: With power assist, isn't' the need for SoftStarts greatly reduced ... or eliminated? The power assist feature would kick in for the short period of time the need from the ACs exceeds 30 amps....or am I misunderstanding something?

    Solar Panel System Installed on my 2024 Delta 262RB

    Jim: We'll be at the pre rally on the 18th. Would love a walkthru on your temp sensor and fan set up .. and your Orion, if it's in. If you didn't get the Orion in by then, I'd be glad to be an extra set of hands to help you install in Indiana. Question on the GuiMods: Does it get blown away...

    Nautilus panel fitting size and type?

    When not below freezing, I leave it connected all the time. When winterizing (we move from Indiana to FL and back in the winter), we just disconnect the hoses and bring the filter and WS inside to protect from freezing. We then refresh the WS at home, and replace the filters before...

    Nautilus panel fitting size and type?

    I accomplished the same thing in a bit more simple of a method. Everything entering (city or tank fill) runs through the filter and water softener first. This also allows for easy removal of both for maintenance and winter.

    Electronic Door Lock

    We went with the Global Link from eTrailer. We had some issues with the RVLock, and while we were not able to get them resolved, and ultimately switched to the Global Link, RVLock was very supportive, even long after the warranty expired. So far, we're happy with the Global Link.

    Dual thermostats

    Just thinking through the scenario.... if you combined control into a single TStat .. how would you be able to run just a single AC at a time? Both ACs would come on 100% of the time? In my 32RLS, I only have a single AC in the Living/Kitchen area (along with one in the bedroom on a separate...

    Wire chase from roof.

    It should be a straight shot down from the opening on the roof. On my 32RLS it was being the basement wall toward the door side. On a friends 310, it was behind the basement wall close to the back of the Nautilus.

    New to this Forum and the Paradigm 340RL

    Well .. if you haven't completed the sales process and signed and paid ... you still have time. If you have, there is a warranty period, so you can still discover and get things addressed through that process if you prefer, and if necessary. Good luck. There are many of us that don't have...

    I decided to go with Hankook Vantra TH31s (x5). Having them mounted at Discount Tire in central FL tomorrow. $1550 all in.

    Luckily, no skirt or fender damage for me. I heard it pop and was immediately able to pull over. Got lucky!

    Westlake Tires - anyone had issue with them?

    Well, despite my hyper focus, the tire fairy bit us. Time for new tires all around. We were 3.5 miles into our trip, having just visually inspected the tires and checked pressure before taking off. Driving 55mph on a road in good repair. Should've stuck to the "replace at 10k plan", but...

    Can anyone recommend a Pet Monitoring System?

    Bryan: We use a combo of systems. We have Blink cameras, our MicroAir TStat and VRM thru our Victron components. Blink gives us eyes and motion detection inside and out, MicroAir gives us temperature and HVAC status, alerts and the ability to make changes, VRM alerts us if our power status has...

    Is anyone aware of an internal TPMS Solution Compatible with RAM Factory System?

    Perhaps THIS will help? Not sure. Also, when I had to install my OEM TPMS sensors for my 2022 F350 in my trailer tires, I took it to Belle Tire .. they did it for free as a courtesy ... just asked that I keep them in mind for tires in the future ... I definitely will.

    Looking for Inverter sizing guidance

    Mike: Not sure which 12v fridge you have, so my #s may vary from what you'll get. I have a 16 cuft Norcold in my 32RLS. Specs say it runs at 12amps/hr. I think that's when the compressors are fully running. Once cold, I've observed them to run at about 4.5amps/hr .... so a little over 100...

    New 310RL

    I fired up my outdoor speakers during my PDI to verify they work, and haven't turned them on since. Probably never will. Would not miss them if they were not there.

    320w panel question.

    I haven't noted the exact timing, but I'll take a look at my VRM history and see if I can determine exact timing. Just anecdotally, it seems to start and complete charging pretty quickly in the AM, then maintain it until around 5ish ... sunset here is just after 6. Even in a heavy rainstorm...

    Grey water tank overflow valve

    I agree with @BryanValRox, doesn't make sense, and I think you got a false answer. Also, while I don't have the same 310 model, I have same layout and tank config (32RLS) and all my drains are solid (not flexible) into the tanks. Only thing I can think that would explain it is one of those...

    tv storage

    I have a wireless subwoofer for the soundbar on a rubber isolation pad to reduce vibration, and we use some fabric and plastic bins from Ikea (or Target maybe, can't remember) to hold loose items .. as well as some books.

    320w panel question.

    While I don't have the same level of experience and knowledge as Jim, I do concur with his math as it is consistent with my understanding and how we were taught at the NRVTA Solar Class. I went with 4 of the Renogy 320w panels (2s, 2p), and chose the Victron 150/100 after applying the same math...

    Where to camp near Louisville, Kentucky

    I concur with the review stating sites can be unlevel. It is an old state park with large trees, but we have been able to make due. Last summer, we had reservations at Taylorsville Lake (as @GriffLab mentioned above) but had to cancel due to last minute work commitment, so I can't speak from...

    Solar panel mounting options on 310rl

    I mounted an additional 3 320w Renogy panels with Self Tapping Wood Screws and Afcat 945 Sealant below and above the brackets. This was the method taught to us at the NRVTA Solar Class, and so far, everything is holding well after about 2500 miles.

    Viability of using onboard propane system for a portable dual fuel generator?

    Slide Top Flap Seals

    I agree with BryanValRox above .. I had to do this the top of my slide sides to make sure they always "flipped out" Got a couple of pieces from my dealer (they just gave them to me when I described what I was doing) and used a little adhesive. 5 min. mod.

    Front Cap Leak

    I did not install a W/D in my 32RLS, so i disconnected the water lines that feed the closet. There were valves to shut off the water in the basement mounted to the floor near the stairs behind the basement wall. Although they were shut off, there was water in those lines when I cut them. I...

    Fireplace remote control usage

    One thing I've noticed with our remote is you have to have line of sight .... In my case, I have to hold the remote pretty low to achieve that .. like below waist level. Once I figured that out, it works pretty well.

    Where to camp near Louisville, Kentucky

    When we go to the trail, we camp away from Louisville and closer to the trail. My Old Kentucky Home State Park is a go to place for us. Some of the sites are tight, so you have to be selective depending on how big your rig is. Bardstown is a nice destination and kinda centrally located for...

    Keyless Locks for doors and cargo compartments

    Yep, good thought on the FOB switch. We went there also ... turning off the switch and going so far as to unprogram the FOBs and leaving them at home.... still happened. Just to be clear ... when the door opened, what we'd find is that the deadbolt had retracted into the body of the lock, as...
