    Hobo At Heart

    Man, it has been a long time since I posted here. We have been traveling winters in the desert and the south. We still have our 24' C Class, but I think that is about to change.

I did what highdesert suggested and the red shows positve and the white negative if I am using the volt meter correctly. There is no great place to ground by either place. Just the metal frMe of the...

    Wiring a new 12v receptacle

    Painting cabinets

    I have no idea if this is where this should go. If it isn’t, then a moderator can move it. We have a ‘93 class C. The cabinets have that contact paper fake wood stuff which is starting to peel off. We would like to paint the cabinets, but aren’t sure if the contact paper has to be removed or...
