My Jeep purchases stop at Wrangler for a reason! If I want a SUV, my lady tow's a Ford Expedition! It works behind my coach or hers.

Replacing 13.5K BTU AC with 15k BTU heat pump
manholt replied to rcoon2's topic in Systems and Appliances
FIVE. We have the same! I only wish I had the Oasis, rather than Aqua Hot. Floor heat is set at 80 and works good...on now! 66 degrees and rain at 7,150' elevation, will be 54 in AM ! -
We will pass, on Tocomcarri, NM KOA ! Tight and horrible speed bumps in park! Pull through is me one way, trailer other way & a coach my way...with trees! They did have hot food delivered to RV...very good. Breakfast is only served in building, but we took it back to rig. Excellent.
-
In my case, I can get a 295/80 thru the bay door, about 2/3 way...AC added on some metal to my dropped rail chassis, so I can't get the tire into the bay & close the door! That's why I carry, my & Linda's golf clubs, in the toad!
-
You need to stop at KOA Buffalo, WY. KOA Loveland, CO. KOA Devil's Tower, WY. KOA Rapid City, SD, KOA Wakeeny Kansas and KOA Tucumcarri, NM. Nothing narrow! Easy in/out and wide spaces for my 45+, 4 slide coach! Maybe its a East USA hing!
-
2" ? Me thinks you have too much weight on that side! If you do get it raised that much, be careful with twist of chassis.
-
Joe. I understand the cost for a DP! Does that also apply to the Super C, like KONI?
-
The 295/80 are still being used for new coach's! I looked at a new 2019 Entegra Anthem, had 295/80 Drive & Tag, DOT January 2013! Per Sales woman, "they only have 2,114 miles on them and should last another 7 or 8 years"! We left ! Entegra & Jayco is now Thor! IMHO, POS !!!

Surprise is the only one I know in AZ. There is one in Kerrville, Texas and another outside of Galax, VA. Non of them are cheap & they have a Casita attached.
-
Iowa, was correct & now, so is KOA. Did you swing by Colorado on the way to Iowa?
-
Puonxsyjumper. Nothing personal. Was just thinking about a couple & their 4 dogs! I've said it many times on this Forum, I used to race 1000 to 2000HP boats at 140knt +! As DD69 said.
-
JESlawson. Welcome to the Forum! What year, make & model coach do you have?
-
I have a 120v, portable that I plug in outside when grilling steaks or pork, works great for beans or other foods that I can't grill...Linda has one also! We used them 2x in Gillette, I had 30A. I did use Genny once...Rain! Lots of others did the same!

Replacing 13.5K BTU AC with 15k BTU heat pump
manholt replied to rcoon2's topic in Systems and Appliances
The down side is the amount of current the heat pump uses on start up and on/off cycling....Aqua hot will run on both elect. & diesel for furnace with less spike on current. -
Happy future travels!

Kay. It's a fixed cab over bunk bed with a TV. I just looked at floor plan. Ladder mount. Unit has a sofa, both dinette and Queen bed. 2 slide outs! Class C.
-
You could put a barrier in front, to keep items in! A lot of Class C's, keep the stereo & TV electronic equipment in that compartment.

Replacing 13.5K BTU AC with 15k BTU heat pump

A 15,000 BTU with Heat Pump is going to draw more Amps! Since your keeping your coach, I would replace the 3 Duo-therm 13,500's & Thermostat...heat strip on the front. They are 23+ years old. -
ATV/UTV Unrestricted Trails near Class A ready campgrounds

Herman. The name is Tonka & sold in Norway, under that name. VW used to make one also! Lot's of State's west of the Mississippi, to play off road. My coach is 45 + foot and have never had a problem finding a RV park from California to MA! -
Hard ice cream is your friend! Happy travels!
-
Your right, I can't open it either! Foretravel in Texas, built their coach on Oshkosh chassis for a long time....Since they are still in business and Service all their old brands...they may have your parts in stock! I also did Saudi in the early 70's, as a Drilling Consultant. PIA.
-
Mike. There are no "Dumb" questions on this Forum! I run the same setup as your asking about, have done so, for 20+ years! Protection at the Pedestal is paramount to a happy coach.
-
cuemein. Welcome to the Forum! I'm all electric. You got to shut off AC and Microwave. Then it should work! I have a Electric stove & it draws a lot more amps than yours. If you need all the burners at the same time, then it will not work! Carl
-
Glad it worked out for you!
-
Then there is the ion lithium, same ah at 1/3 the weight + 10 years! Unfortunately $$$$ and no place for disposal that I know off. Suppose to be EPA mandatory in 2020!
