    2016 prowler ac fan on and off

    This year since it’s become summer, the ac will run fine and cool as needed but for the first time we noticed that the fan will shut off for a few seconds while the compressor is still running. This happens every once in a while and doesn’t seem to be of any particular pattern. Also, all the...

    Shower skylight replacement

    Ya I’ve been on Amazon and the like. Many many options. It seems this will be a two part replacement. One outer dome and one inner equipped with a flange around to hide the big hole cut through the roof. This is seems to be a small rabbit hole that is getting bigger. But I still think this...

    Shower skylight replacement

    So our shower skylight is opaque white and just getting back from Florida, I can’t help but think how much better it would look in the bathroom with a clear one. This would also greatly enhance the appearance from the outside as well. I am am looking for the best place to get a new one. This...

    New easy lighting upgrade

    Just did my bedroom as well. Again, very easy and a great upgrade..given your fixtures accept a dimming input. And mine being as cheap as they are, I’m sure most do accept this.

    New easy lighting upgrade

    Hey Bill, it’s a nice feature to have at nights when you and the better half are relaxing. It really helps to create a nice environment for living. Which is what it’s all about anyway right. One can also easily swap the fixtures for soft white light as well. As for the tape light, man what an...

    2017 Big Country with Big Problems

    I hate to feel that all campers are made as fast as possible and shoved out the door, but its true. We are relatively young, mid 30’s and bought our first travel trailer about 5 years ago. We have since upgraded to a 5th wheel as the family grew over that time. I have had the belly off my...

    New easy lighting upgrade

    Hey all, been a while but figured I would stop in and share my latest upgrade. Since we are swamped with negative equity in the 5’r and cant sell it for an upgrade, I have decided to start on some upgrades that we should’ve had, had we not settled in the first placed. I recently installed...

    Broken galley pipe

    So Home Depot around me does NOT carry ABS. Nor does a Ferguson..or Southern Pipe and Supply, the local hardware store, or Lowe’s for that matter. So I used PVC and universal sealer. Painted it black and presto. Would never know. Of course I didn’t think to take any pics to share. Well, we’ll...

    Broken galley pipe

    Our drain pipe that is coming from the galley, underneath the camper must have frozen and cracked over the last cold snap. Just this afternoon, I pulled it out of storage (back yard) and ran all the preliminary checks. Well I noticed it was leaking just before the external dump valve where it...

    Kentucky Bourbon Trail

    I cant wait to put this together. It's going to be a blast I think. We have also never travelled that far north and we hear the country is beautiful. Definitely going to plan it for a fall trip.

    Relief vent on roof...

    I agree. I haven't tested that yet but I will. It wouldn't surprise me one bit. I love our camper but the Prowler is obviously a base model and thrown together.

    Relief vent on roof...

    That's the one! So I should probably just leave this be then huh? I wonder if there is another one on the opposite end..and I can add a small fan so there is a slight forced air flow...Just me over engineering things as usual.

    Kentucky Bourbon Trail

    This is great info! I know what you mean, I was looking at the Knob Creek website and was getting thirsty myself! The in laws are wrapping up a month long trip and heading into Shepherdsville to stay. Then they may go down to Clermont and visit Jim Beam. I'm sure I'll get some stories. I'm...

    Relief vent on roof...

    So you're saying there is a separate level above the plenum for heat to escape? Hmmmm

    Relief vent on roof...

    A few weeks ago, while treated the roof and noticed a toilet type vent towards the front of the rig. I took it off and noticed the hole goes straight into the "plenum" that would be the air path the AC unit pressurizes. Is this some kind of pressure relief vent? Im thinking of closing it up...
