  Thanks Todd!!! I appreciate the answer. I wish Coleman or one of the other RV AC companies would make one that brings in fresh air vice only recirculating. Like you mentioned all car AC's do it. I guess when boondocking at night running 12-volt fan and leaving your ac fan off makes more sense. I came up with the question because we were camping at the beach with full hookups, and it was nice and cool at night and the AC wasn't needed, however we had some noisy neighbors. We shut the windows and turned on the fan to cover up the noise, but it didn't take long to start warming up and we had to kick on the AC's. I had to ask Todd what exactly is our fan mode providing. I'm sure everyone is dying to know; our bedroom does have a return vent!

  We run our A/C around the clock, we just set the thermostat for the most comfortable temp and let it run al=fter all the electricity is included in the park fee.

  So many methods so many no good some ok few are great. For myself I put a quart/litre of regular yogurt and powder up a bunch of digestive enzyme pills and add to the blackwater tank at the beginning of each camping trip and anytime its emptied. When done camping I make sure the tank is 3/4 full and drive away. Once nearer home or after a few hrs of driving I find a dump station and drain the tank then fill 3/4 full of water and drive again allowing the sloshing to rinse. Some dishsoap at this time seems to help with the rinse. The yogurt and enzymes over the 2wk camping trip seems to keep solids/paper dissolved and getting a good empty is easy.. for me this works awesome..

  Hey Todd, is it alright to leave my rv plugged into shore power when it’s not in use?Thanks for the tips!- Tim

  What do you mean by “ok”? Do you mean _legal?_ For example, in some municipalities, having an RV plugged in means that it is classified as “additional” or “alternative” housing, and thus would need zoning approval and a permit, so leaving it plugged in without proper zoning approval could lead to fines. HOA rules can also come into play. If your question is simply asking about safety, then it doesn’t matter, when the RV is plugged in it is no less safe when unoccupied than when occupied.

  I use my power vent fan on one end of my camper and open the bathroom vent on the other end. The power vent pulls air in, and it exhaust out the other. Really nice on cool days and evenings…..and a heck of a lot quieter 😂

  ❤ Tod, on mobile homes the return air vents are the doors cut off at the top or bottom about one inch. Sometimes both.

  I have been running the Softstart up on my RV all summer and loving it. Where I live in Canada most campgrounds are 30Amp only. it will run both AC units at the same time and I am not getting brownouts when they start up. I am a Power Engineer so I know just a little bit of electrical theory lol, you are bang on with the inrush slowly degrading the coils. With that being said I do have a 12v fridge as my trailer is a 2024 Cougar. The only time i had an issue was when there was a power outage at the campground and I tripped the breaker when the trailer was re energized and everything wanted to start at the same time. PS keep up the great work, I am seriously thinking about going done to take your course in house. its just finding time right now.

• 
  @jpe13 сағат бұрын

  The soft start only affects AC power not DC power, your 12V system is completely independent from the AC system (yes, there may be a converter (aka rectifier) that charges the batteries for the 12V but the soft start doesn’t affect that). Yet another reason to use 12V compressor refrigerators instead of residential.

  Todd really enjoy learning more about my rv. You are the guy with the answers. My question is I have a 2016 Jayco Jayflight 265 BHSW. We took it out this spring and the water pump would not pump water. We took it off the wall and unhooked the lines and blowed really hard and heard a pop and the valve unstuck and pumped like it should the rest of the trip. We took it out 2 months later and again would not pump so we primed with the winterized hose and it started working. Finally my question is “Is there something we could put through the water to lubricant the valves in the water pump” ? We are not full time campers. Setting on the edge of my chair waiting patiently for your words of wisdom. Thank you. You are the Man. 😀

  Hey quick question here. My awning motor crapped out so I purchased a new aftermarket motor for $35 (a new OE Lippert motor cost about 10x this) So I installed the new motor and everything is working much better, however when at full extension when I take my finger off the awning extend button the barrel still continues to slowly roll out, almost as if gravity is rolling it out more. I would’ve thought the motor would have some kind of brake on it so this doesn’t happen. Any ideas on what’s going on here??

  Can I take these lithium ion phosphate batteries in my camper in the fall when it goes down to 0 degrees? NO. So now I need two sets of batteries for when its freezing. Please tell all the facts. Can I charge Lithium ion batteries with my truck? NO. it will fry your alternator. Please tell all the facts.

  Love your videos! Just A "Heads Up"... I pick things apart. Too much sometimes... Anyway in your latest tech tip Tuesday, you said that electricity doesn't move unless there is a demand. In the broadcast sense that is correct however. It just needs to have a "potential " difference. Keep up the videos. They have taught me a lot and even adequate me rethink se things I've been doing the old way for so long

• 
  @NationalRVTrainingAcademy7 күн бұрын

  So this is true. A difference in potential and a path to move. The two connection points to an extension cord plugged into the active outlet have a difference in potential between the two, but if nothing else is plugged in and there is no path to a load, then there is no kinetic movement. Can continue to parse but this is 2minutes. ;)
