    Solar connector on 2021 22 CRB

    If you share a photo we can help you more but there are only a few common brands. Most of the "connector" type installs I've seen are Zamp and look like the below photo: If that's yours, you can get kits from Zamp directly to add the panels. If not just share more what you have.

    Best slide topper?

    I won't say these are the BEST, but we went with the Solera and they're holding up OK. One of them has a 9" length of edge piping pulling out. But if it's a data point for you, we went with these because they were an easy self-install and you can buy them in any length on Amazon. In 2021 dollars...

    Just installed my Centramatic balancers on my fifth wheel

    I've had a similar experience, I was told they would balance them for a fee (same as for a car) but unless I requested it, by default they didn't balance trailer tires... That's why I wondered why folks always talk about it. I can totally understand if you have pets riding back there, but we've...

    Just installed my Centramatic balancers on my fifth wheel

    Just curious, how do you folks get a sense of balance issues/quality in your trailers? It's very noticeable in a truck's wheel but I've never really paid much attention to my trailers. Is it more of a vibration at certain speeds like in a vehicle or something else?

    Transfer switch

    It depends how it was wired. Mine only runs my fridge but yours may be different... You could also have a bad transfer switch. They're just relays inside, usually rated for millions of cycles but they're mechanical so they can go bad sometimes...

    Black box in the basement

    That looks like this: https://www.lippert.com/5in-touch-panel-assembly-kit-for-onecontrol-406345 This is described as the LCI "MyRV" 406345 if it helps your research. A quick Google search turned up some newer versions with more buttons so I assume they had some later releases. There are no...

    Milestone switch

    Figuring out what switches control on used coaches can be really challenging. You might contact Heartland with your VIN, but it sure looks like a light switch if you want to poke around more. A trick I use when buying a camper used is to turn on EVERY switch, and then walk around looking...

    How big should our new RV be!?

    LOL compromise. I wanted a medium size travel trailer. My wife wanted a fifth wheel. So we compromised on a fifth wheel.

    winegard

    I don't have a full answer for you but our Milestone came with the Winegard antenna but it wasn't fully ready for use. There are two Winegard lines, one is the main antenna originally designed to pull in TV signals better, and then there's an advanced Air+Gateway option where the antenna has an...

    New security camera install!

    These Reolink's have an extra feature like the Eufy S340 we use (a very similar competitor) folks may want to know. They have motion tracking. When a person is detected, the camera will rotate to face (and follow) that person. I don't have any stats to back this up... but my feeling is a camera...

    TPMS Sensors Don’t Fit

    I have the Lippert Tire LINC kit and those worked on my stems on my Milestone 386BH. YMMV - I don't know if the stem lengths and angles vary between models. I don't necessarily RECOMMEND the product. :) I find the mobile app very frustrating to use and not very reliable. But they fit and read...

    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: CO, Colorado Springs - 07/25/24 to 07/28/24

    Sorry, we won't be attending because my wife has a trip planned and I'll be working on a homestead site we have here in CO. Our Milestone will be at that site and we won't want to haul it out, this year anyway. But if the timing works out, I may be able to drop by and say hello to some folks...

    Starlink Satellite System.

    We've had a Starlink for 2 years, one of the early adopters. It has pros and cons. It's congestion-sensitive so if there are a dozen Starlink users in your same service "hex" (which I think is like 13mi wide or so...) you'll lose bandwidth. And it's very expensive. The home plans cost like $120...

    Jumping my unit after sitting all winter

    I just found another use for a jump pack BTW. I recently replaced my camper batteries with lithiums (plus solar). I'm sure you all know they have built-in management features like cutting off charging if they go below freezing since that ruins them. Well apparently the BMS in the battery I...
