    Thank you! I am looking at this one now, it has a digital readout that the other one doesn't but looks like same specs. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JK12544/?coliid=I3TI3O6H29951X&colid=206D8BWOLV3UH&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

    Time to buy solar

    in Electrical

    Posted

    I have decided to put solar on my 1987 Sunrader. I have decided 200 Watts is sufficient with two deep cycle six volt batteries mounted in the factory box on the rear bumper. 

    I want to buy an entire kit for this and have it installed by a competent installer. 

    Do you have any recommendations where I can buy such a kit. I have champagne taste and a beer budget. 

    Thanks,

    I have cruise control and overdrive in my '87 Sunrader with 22R engine. I use the overdrive and cruise control when on flat ground or downhill, then shift out of it when climbing a hill, this works great once you get the rhythm down. I get 13-14 mpg.

    I just had a backup camera installed in my Sunrader, wanted to use it as a rear view mirror as you do. Hooked it up to the running lights, so turn on running lights, now all LED, so I turn on the running lights when I start the vehicle and turn off the lights before I take out the key. Works great. Only glitch is I MUST remember to turn off running lights.

    I have a friend who has been turning wrenches for 40 years - he recommended decades ago that I do what I suggested. I have done it on 4 or 5 vehicles with good results.   Yah, it would be better to do the full text book conversion,  but I stand by my "use r134" suggestion.

    I think many older r12 systems may have lots of non r12 in them anyway.  Of course if one has r12, go ahead and use it.  

     

    To each their own

     

    Thanks Dan.  Mine uses r12 and think I will see if I can find someone to add to it. It runs cool, just not cold enough. I was quoted over $1,000 to replace the entire system. I occupy the cheap seats.

    Potential mini-rally Oregon Coast

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    We are  currently in Florence, on the Southern Coast of Oregon. I have been pondering the idea of organizing a rally for next summer. Someone suggested I invite you to meet this summer and plan for next years event. The Oregon Coast is the #1 RV  destination in the US. 

    I am a member of Thousand Trails, a membership group. I paid $500 for a year membership including campgrounds in Oregon, Washington, California and one campground in British Columbia. Ten nights of stays at a $50 resort pays for the entire year of membership. I have already done so this year. Future stays are gravy. One can stay up to 21 days in any of their campgrounds, check them out. You do not have to be a member to stay at the campgrounds, just pay a typical space rent. 

    The Thousand Trails Campground we are in is in the woods, pool, good wifi, minutes from town with it's quint Oregon coast downtown, great restaurants, and my bank, Three Rivers Casino! 

    Anyone interested in joining us at one of the many Thousand Trails campgrounds on the Oregon Coast, preferably Florence, to discuss hosting a rally next summer?

    Nothing to stop you from doing one later this year (Summer or Fall). Pick a date and location and even if only 2 or 3 show up, that potentially gives you 2 or 3 others to help you organize a 'proper' one next year. :)

    Good luck.

    Good idea!! I am a member of Thousand Trails, currently in Florence, Oregon. Quint coastal town, great campground with pool, good wifi, minutes from town with great restaurants and my bank, Three Rivers Casino. Anyone interested in meeting here? There are Thousand Trail Campgrounds up and down the coast. This is our go to due to the proximity of amenities we enjoy. I purchased a Thousand Trails membership good in Oregon, Washington, California and one campground in British Columbia. I paid $500 for this. Ten nights in their campground and the annual membership is paid for! I have already used 10 nights so far so the rest of my stays are already paid for! You can stay up to 21 days in an individual park before you need to move on. You do not have to be a Thousand Trails member to use the park, just need to pay the nightly fee.

    We have a separate section for rallies. Why don't you organize one for us. Lots of members in Oregon and I am in northern Cal. I will put notices on some of the other groups I'm on too if your interested.

    I'll look into this. The rally I hosted was on the Oregon Coast at a State Park. Too busy this summer but will look at this for next summer. I found the Rally section under Search. Thanks

    I wonder if this group hold or support any rallies? Summer is here and it would be fun to meet folks from this group. 

    When I had my Winnebago View I  hosted a rally of 52 of those rigs on the Oregon Coast. We had a great time and learned a lot from each other. I don't know the traditions of this group re rallies.

    Fly-fishing Yellowstone! Outstanding. Ditto advice on A/C refill. You consistently provide great input and ideas and I appreciate that.

    Sorry! Roof air works great! It's the A/C in the truck that is not as cold as I would like it. 

    Fly-fishing Yellowstone! Whoa! Now that sounds like a great road trip!

    Thanks,
