There are a number of solutions for short term powering of CPAP machines while off-grid camping or during power outages, with quite a range of costs. I use a ResMed Airsense 10 CPAP with humidifier and heated hose features disabled. I use a ResMed 12...
Our 2004 Fleetwood Tioga 26Q has a dash AC problem, the vacuum actuator is not working to divert cold air through the dashboard vents. This is caused by a leak in a vacuum hose that is located in the rear of the engine. There are a number of "band-a...
I suddenly have cold air coming through defrost vents only, not through dash vents. Defective parts are buried behind firewall on engine side, not accessible without much complicated disassembly. A number of You Tube how-to videos show an easy "bypa...
I got an e-mail from Powersonic battery company describing the virtues of their line of "Lifepro" Lithium batteries for RV use, replacing sealed lead acid (SLA) type batteries. We have two 6 volt deep cycle "wet" type batteries in series and a standa...
I have never used Seafoam or Gumout additives in our Class C but watched a You Tube video that said that Seafoam is no longer beneficial with the alcohol in today's gasolines. Gumout was recommended. Informed opinions?
Grit Dog, Converting RV house batteries to Lithium is not cheap or simple, you will need to change the converter charger to a lithium type. Lithium batteries need to be protected from low temperatures. It's doable. Rick Jay, I'll try series connectio...
I am someone who is into RC models and use lipoly batteries in series and parallel for different applications. I connected two 12 volt 18ah SLA batteries in parallel to double the capacity (36 ah) because I had them. I know I could connect the same ...
There are 18 ah rated lithium batteries that weigh around 1/2 as much as sealed lead acid ones, but they require special lithium chargers and cost more than SLA's. There are also some small lightweight lithium CPAP batteries that cost nearly $400 and...
The problem of no air/AC flow through dash vents is fairly common on older E-450 RV conversions. Plastic vacuum tubing hardens and cracks from engine heat and aging. Tubing should be replaced by good rubber tubing. There may a cracked vacuum tank, a...
