We’ve had 3 absorption fridges in our past camper lives and always struggled to keep them cold in temps above 90°F. We’ve moved the sensor up, parked so the vent was shaded, put ice in the compartment, crossed our fingers and held our breath but to very little avail. Now, on our first trip to...
I am building a small (5x8x4) foamie with 2" XPS foam with an R-10 rating.
Based on some calculations I would need about 1k BTU to maintain a 50 deg F differential temp.
Most small heaters (diesel/propane) are in the 5k-6.5k range. Something like this will put out so much heat so fast it will...
Camping is fun, a good experience. A camp fire is a large part of that fun.
We recently spent a week at a campground and a neighbor enjoyed a campfire every night of the week. Several nights the wind blew just right to cover or site in smoke. Their fire ring was very close to our site and they...
My bathroom exhaust vent cover does not prevent rain from coming in when opened. What if someone needs to shower while it’s raining outside?
I decided to add a Maxxair FanMate vent cover to help with that!
Does anyone else make a fan insert like the Heng’s Industries Vortex II? The Vortex II appears to be on a semi permanent back order. I want to get rid of the cheesy little bathroom fan without having to get on the rooftop and replace the whole unit.
Hello Yall,
I have 3 of these, 2 in the bathroom and one in the kitchen area
I’m assuming the dial on the left controls the vent fan, what does the dial on the left control?

I would like to add a window in the bedroom of my 2017 Reflection 26RL next to the slideout for cross ventilation. The window on the opposite wall doesn't allow much air to enter the bedroom. Is it possible/good idea to do this? Has anyone done this?

The pop up vent fan only works when the interior lights are turned on, Is this the way it is supposed to be? Seems weird that the lights would need to be on. This is plugged into shore power or battery power.
Thanks for any help.
Own a 2025 mini light model 2515 with the upgraded power package. I've learned a bit about the solar system and would be happy to share. My current issue is the battery with all the other solar equipment is in the pass-through. Of course the pass-through has no ventilation and the battery has...
‘23 2670MK TT. It doesn’t smell in lower cabinet so I don’t believe the issue is with the connection with the tank. I see no issues with the ‘coupling’ in the closet. I see the vent pipe protrude into the ‘boot’ on the roof, but has a slight offset in the boot when I remove the cap so that...
I can't seem to find any listings or info about the roof vent van for my 2514F. The fan doesn't work, I'm assuming the fan got water in it. Does anyone know or have a listing for the fan motor? Or do I need to replace the whole vent and fan unit?
Thanks.
Hello friends
I had this fan installed in my Ford coachman e250. The problem is, it doesn't feel like it's moving air. When I stand under it I do not feel any air coming in. This is despite having a window or to open in the van. When I put it on exhaust mode, a piece of paper would be sucked to...
I have another question about the 2019 Flagstaff ML-25FBLS. while I was inspecting the roof I noticed the vent lid over the bedroom will need replaced. I didn't think to see what brand was installed. I'm 5 hours from the camper and won't pick it up till the 8th. So wanting to get cover before...
In warm to hot weather how do you deal with the lack of ventilation with the frameless windows that only open about 3 inches at the bottom?
I dry camp and/or boondock quite a bit in warm to hot weather. The 2025 20RD Back Country I looked at, the windows at the dinette had tiny crank out...
I have a 2022 Mini Lite 2509S. The vent over the Master Bed will not close tightly. When I spin the dial to retract the vent, it goes past tight and loosens up. It feels like the closing mechanism is stripped. Everything else appears to be in good order, so I was hoping for an easy fix. Any ideas?
Has anyone replaced their crankcase ventilation filter on a Foretravel FS450? It's supposed to be changed every 4th oil change. It's located way back on top of the engine and not accessible at all from the rear of the MH. There appears to be an elevated floor panel that might be over it...
Greetings,
I have a 2004 TS 40rlqso 40' 5th Wheel camper. After recently fixing a black tank clog and new seals in toilet (bowl to base, and base to floor), I am noticing a smell from the black tank that is constant. Previous owner states he was never able to relive the odor without emptying...
I’m confused…the emergency exit window in our 19’ Escape says “EXIT FOR EMERGENCY USE ONLY.” And yet, the window has a screen and a notched handle for holding the window open for ventilation. This is a very mixed message.
When I read past comments, I see that many Escape owners use the...
Here is my prototype of a removable vent fan for my school bus windows. It currently has 2 PC fans and a speed controller. Overall this works better than any "rv vent fan" I've come across AND you don't have to cut any holes for it. I used Noctua PC fans so even at max speed it is dead...
I have a 35 foot dog-nose Thomas-built bus. As you can see from the first picture, there are some louvres below the driver's window. The second picture shows them from the inside. They cannot be closed. In the winter, cold air pours through them. Are they just meant to be a constant source of...
Hey everyone. I tried to find something in the forums about this and may have missed the mark. My son bought a 10 Cu. ft. fridge/freezer, hoping to use this in his skoolie. It is a smaller residential fridge. He plans to travel all summer and sometimes off the grid. He bought this BEFORE he did...
I want to mount the mini split condenser under the drivers seat, under the bus.
I'll cut a vent into the wall of the bus, so there's plenty of air flow into and away from the coils.
But we won't be able to meet the over head suggestions for clearance.
Is this a major issue or should we be ok...
Hi all - new here.
Just bought a bus that is already mostly converted by the previous owner, excited to adventure during the winter 2 days to 2 weeks at a time.
I live in a coastal/ temperate climate in Vancouver. The bus is currently not insulated nor does it have a ceiling vent, like a...
Hey everyone
We are regretting our decision to not have a window in the bathroom of our current bus (we had one in bus #1).
As such, I am thinking about installing some sort of vent fan. I'd rather not go with the standard 14x14 rv roof vent because of the ceiling height and layout of the...
