Thanks to all for the welcome. Ace: Much of my experience was also in semi. Spent 25 years in Silly-Kone Valley. I'm currently near Quartzsite but will be spending the summer in Colorado. Deal Breaker: Yep. Have done several solar installs for friends. It can be confusing to some folks.

Thank you. I'm not far from the Q as I type this. Been here since Nov. Maybe next year.

I wired my rig to be a "whole house" inverter system. When not on shore power the cord gets fed back to an outlet that switches between my generator and inverter with the transfer switch being inverter dominant. That way only one transfer switch is needed. As was previously stated it's...

If the fridge is in a slide out (has a top vent rather than roof vent) simply removing the vent cover will help as will adding a piece of curved sheet metal above the condenser to prevent heat from being trapped in any area above it. The lack of such baffling is a common problem in RVs. Course...

Howdy folks. I've been wandering the country in a smallish fifth wheel for 5 years now. Although I've had a few different careers I am by training an EE with industrial automation and machine design experience. Hope to both learn and contribute here. Gary

First post. This is actually quite common in RVs and most newer ones come with a fan or fans from the factory. There are several ways to do it: 1) Put the fan midway up the enclosure so as to draw air in from the bottom vent and direct it upwards to the condenser. This is how most RV makers do...
