    Dometic Penguin II Duotherm not Cooling

    As i suspected, the fan and the compressor are running, but the condenser isn't getting warm/hot, and the evaporator isn't getting cold. The compressor gets a little warm, but that's about it. I have to assume all the refrigerant has leaked out.

    I can hear the compressor come on and stay on. I haven't checked the current draw yet.

    Dometic Penguin II Duotherm not Cooling

    Thanks. I'm surprised there's no low pressure cutoff. Thought that was pretty standard on AC units. I'll have the climb up there tomorrow and see what I can figure out.

    Dometic Penguin II Duotherm not Cooling

    The bedroom AC in my 415RW isn't cooling. It's a non-ducted unit directly above the bed. When I turn it on the fan blows and I can hear the compressor kick on and stay on, but there's no change in the air temperature. My first thought is it's low on refrigerant, but of course there's no...

    Has Anybody Found a Self-Contained (i.e. no box) Duplex Receptacle with USB?

    Yeah, those would work in some locations. Gotta be careful with the ones hidden when the slides are in. Not much clearance. - - - Updated - - - Really? I searched all over Amazon and couldn't find one with USB. Can you post a link?

    Has Anybody Found a Self-Contained (i.e. no box) Duplex Receptacle with USB?

    That's the standard duplex type that requires a box mounted in the wall, like in your house. The self-contained ones mount directly to the wall and don't require a box. They're shallower and fit in those thin RV walls. https://mobilehomepartsstore.com/parts/230220.html

    Has Anybody Found a Self-Contained (i.e. no box) Duplex Receptacle with USB?

    My 5th wheel has some duplex outlets with traditional electrical boxes, but most of them are the self-contained type that don't use a box. Has anybody been able to find a self-contained duplex receptacle with the integrated USB ports? They're readily available for the box type receptacles, but...

    Best Pin Box for the Anderson Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch

    Out of curiosity, was your Anderson Ultimate the gooseneck ball type or the mounted on rails type?

    Best Pin Box for the Anderson Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch

    So, are you keeping the MorRyde pin box? Was it the bent pins on the Pullrite causing your problem? You mention the Anderson hitch collapsing during an accident. What happened? I'm very happy with my Anderson Ultimate, but I've not had an accident.

    Best Pin Box for the Anderson Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch

    I'm a little disappointed to hear that as I'm looking hard at the MorRyde. My trailer is the same size as yours and MorRyde is recommending the number 5 as well. It could be that the rubber spring on yours is damaged. I'd be very interested to hear if you find some resolution. I'm towing...

    Best Pin Box for the Anderson Ultimate 5th Wheel Hitch

    I realize there are several other rambling discussions about the Anderson and various pin boxes that go back a couple years. So what's the verdict on the best pin box for the Anderson? Or at least what is everybody's experience? I have the aluminum version that I really love. There's no...

    Feedback wanted on new Pinbox and Hitch selections

    Like I said, there's no play in the Anderson hitch, but the 18K lbs trailer does cause some surge of sorts. You can feel the trailer pushing and pulling the truck. I wonder if the fact that you have the Trail Air with the Anderson hitch, the Trail Air is taking up some of that surging motion.

    Feedback wanted on new Pinbox and Hitch selections

    No. I get some up and down over certain surfaces. Sometimes a pretty hard bang when the truck rear axle goes over. Hoping airbags will take up some of that. There's no "looseness" with the Anderson, but I definitely get some fore and aft motion. No surprise when a 14-18k pound toy hauler is...

    Feedback wanted on new Pinbox and Hitch selections

    I also have the Anderson Ultimate aluminum hitch, and I'm very happy with it. There is no play at the kingpin, so there's no clunking at all. However, we still do get that annoying fore and aft movement. Chucking I guess. I would love to dampen it a bit (a lot). I'm considering the Flexair...
