I also have this problem. Let me know if it is possible to put one in or if you were successful! Was so disappointed that it didn’t vent outside. But...

I just wanted to thank everyone here for their advice. I have nearly the same setup. GD 2800BH, 2019 F-150 XLT / 3.5 EB / Max Tow, 20-inch wheels, Blue...

I'd be very interested to know the results....

No, not dual power. There's only one power circuit. Power comes from the truck's battery through a relay (controlled by an Upfitter switch in the truck...

Axle rating? I've never read that question regarding disc brakes. What rating is pertinent? (I had disc brakes installed by MORryde on my 315RLTS.)...

Call the guys at Performance Trailer Braking and they will give you great advice. They took very good care of me.

Interested in changing to disc brakes on my 2018 Reflection 295RL. Don't know the axle rating, will it handle disc?

Thanks to Howson, and Canyonlight for your reply's.
I will check actual capacity with the hose and a water meter, but that will need to wait until...

Brian,

This would be my understanding. Since there is a variety of opinions out there if its acceptable to have a Lithium battery tied to...

Jim,

So if I understand you correctly there really is no concern for the tow vehicles battery but just the opposite for the trailers lithium...

Howard,

I may not be clear on your setup. Are you planning to have a dual power circuit from the truck aux switch (from the overhead console)...

Yep, I'm going to give a go. Super easy just to move the wire in the MICTUNING box. Then I can use the truck's light switch to turn off the D+ signal....

Running a capacity test on my new 100ah battery since it will be a while before it EVER warms up in Michigan.

Nice thing about working...

Good move to continue dealing with existing and the new competition.....hope the feedback on the oven performance is good. The evolving market and that...

Howard,

From your post #56 I believe this is an aux circuit on your truck which is powering down when the door is opened or when the vehicle...

More importantly Jim, for those that already have existing "less than great" oven, see if the dimensions will fit in the existing space....

I can't confirm it yet, but I believe that GDRV may be going to a residential style range/oven or has already done so. As soon as I confirm it, I'll...

Your note, and looking at the MICTUNING diagram, sparked an idea/thought. Why not just move the D+ signal wire (not shown in diagram below) from the...

Yes. Sure looks like TPO to me. That last picture shows it well. Use the Alpha (aka Superflex) sealants.

If any forum members disagree...

Hmm. Went to this web-site: http://www.insigniaproducts.com, but there were no ovens. Then I found this: "INSIGNIA is the Best Buy brand, and it's...

Well I removed both fan covers in the bath and kitchen and I think it looks like the TPO roof. But didn't like seeing the lack of overlap...

That is surprising.! Like gas to a brick and mortar house, the propane tanks have a lot higher pressure and put out a lot more gas than appliances need....

Thanks for all the replies...

We did purchase the unit and will be picking it up Friday.

Thank you Howard!

For us, we just power up the ceiling fan and turn on the recirculating fan on the microwave and we don't have an issue at all.

Hi Howard,

In warmer climates, the space between the interior ceiling and the exterior roof sheathing is a "hot space" from sun...

Wow--I had no idea there were vents in our roofs just for the space between the ceiling and (I assume) sheathing. Ventilation? Where does air come in?...

That's great news, Lydia.

I don't expect GDRV-Megan will say it can or can't be done as it is not an OEM installation or option (to my knowledge)....

I read the transcript of etrailer's video and the Camco doesn't appear to me to be in the same class as the GasStop. Have you seen Changing Lanes' video...

That salesman was telling you an outright lie. He likely knew that was the attic vent but just lied to you to get the sale rather than have enough integrity...

Has anyone looked other automatic propane shut off valves like the Camco Propane Gauge/Leak Detector? Camco says it provides excess flow protection but...

Thank you so much for that information you really made my day! And my hubby loves bacon too!

The white roof vent in Lydia's picture is definitely an attic space (sometimes called a truss space) vent.

There is not usually any aluminum...
