Hi Michael! I did a bunch of research and found some stuff. You can only tow a 2026 Chevy Equinox front wheel drive with a gasoline engine behind a motorhome, but NOT with all 4 wheels on the ground. You would have to use a dolly, like the Roadmaster…
Hey there Colin, that's a good idea. Lithium is the way to go for more efficiency and longer run time. Since your WFCO WF-8930/50 is just the distribution panel (the breaker and fuse box), you don’t need to replace the whole thing. What you’ll be…
Hey Kenneth, thanks for reaching out! I think it comes set for Lithium, but you will need to check. If you look at the "H6" position on the circuit board (see attached photo), you'll want to make sure that jumper is in the…
Yes, it will work. You'll just need to cut the Lance 6-pin connector out and rewire it into the etrailer Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit w/ Junction Box and RV Style Connector item #e99011. Here are the individual functions of that Lance 6-pin:…
Hi Fred; we carry the Dometic #DMC74FR which is the 6 gallon version but for whatever reason we have never had their 10 gallon water heater WH-10GE. You can stick with the Dometic if you want but I'm sorry to say you will have to pick it up…
It sure does Brian. The Lippert Hub and Drum Assembly item #LC57DX will indeed work with a threaded grease cap. It has a hub bore of 2.722". This hub is designed for 8,000 lbs axles and has a 8 on 6-1/2 lug pattern. It fits spindles with a inner…
Hey Tom, that does sound like you have a bad board on your GC10A-4E. Atwood is no longer around so unless you can find replacement parts somewhere the only option would be to completely replace the water heater. You can swap it out for a similar 10…
Hey Mike, I would recommend going with a size larger with the Progressive Dynamics part #PD89RR as having more amperage than needed is better than not enough. If you went down in amperage your charging system wouldn't be able to keep up as well…
Hey Keith, welcome back! The Active Controls ActiveStart Plug-In Soft Start for RVs - Surge Protection - 30 amp #AS94FR and 50 amp #AS34FR do not have to be completely replaced after an electrical surge. However, you will have to replace the surge…
Hey Coy, the Global Link RV Baggage Door Slam Latch #295-000078 that you referenced does not come with a backing plate but we do offer it separately with the part #295-000017.
Hey welcome back, Jody. So your best option here will be to get a new 50 amp surge protector for your new travel trailer. If you did end up at a camp ground with 50 amp service you would want to have it. I know a lot of sites do have just 30 amp but…
Hey Bernie. To remove your Bearing Buddy item #BB1980A-SS, you'll want to get a rubber mallet and a piece of wood and lightly tap the sides of the bearing protector until it's loose enough to pull off with your hand. You'll want to go…

What’s the difference between a 30-amp and a 50-amp RV power system?
A 30-amp system delivers up to 3,600 watts—great for small to mid-size RVs. A 50-amp system provides up to 12,000 watts, powering multiple A/Cs and large appliances. Knowing your power needs ensures you don’t trip breakers or overload your system.
How do I keep my RV’s electrical system protected?
Campground power isn’t always reliable, and one bad surge can fry your electronics. A quality surge protector prevents voltage spikes from damaging your appliances. Power management systems add extra protection by shutting off power when voltage levels are unsafe.
What does an RV power converter do, and do I need one?
A converter transforms 120V AC shore power into 12V DC for your lights, water pump, and fans—while also charging your batteries. If you camp with hookups or a generator, a converter is essential for keeping your 12V system powered and balanced.
How can I power my RV when camping off-grid?
Use a solar panel kit to recharge batteries without noise or fuel. A generator or portable power station gives you backup power for high-draw appliances. Combining solar and battery banks allows for extended off-grid stays with quiet, efficient power.For a breakdown of what solar can handle based on your setup, check out What Can You Run on Solar Power? to build a system that fits your needs.
How do I safely plug my RV into shore power?
Always test the power source first with a polarity tester or voltmeter. Use a surge protector or electrical management system to protect your RV. If the outlet type doesn’t match your plug, use a compatible dogbone adapter to avoid damage or incompatibility.
