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…
Hello Jeremy, I sent that number over to lippert and they were not able to find anything. Can you please send me a picture of the sticker if it is still on there? Should have a S/N number and and RPO number, I included a picture of what the stickers…
Thanks for the picture! I checked with Progressive Dynamics the replacement power converter you need for your Parallax Series 7300 Model 7345 is the Replacement Converter for Parallax/Magnetek or WFCO RV Power Centers - 45 Amp item #PD4645V.
Hello Paul, thanks for reaching out. The Mighty Cord RV Power Cord #A10-5025EDBK is a 50 amp cord, so as long as your camper is also set up for 50 amp service this would be compatible for you.
Hey Cecilia, thanks for reaching out! The SmartPlug RV Power Cord Adapter #SM93VR will power both legs according to my contact at SmartPlug. You just need to make sure you limit yourself to the 15A rating of the adapter as it won't be able to…
Hey Mark! The Advent Air RV Air Conditioner System - Manual #ADV32SR is designed to work with a ductless system. Since you have a ducted setup you need the #ADV92SR instead. This has an ADB that works with both ducted and ductless along with a wall…
Hey Thom! You're not missing anything. The RVS WIreless Hitch Camera part #RVS87FR really is as simple as you made it out to be. It is new to us and we haven't had the chance to get one in yet but once we do we will make the videos and take…
Hello Robert, thanks for reaching out. The best option for this will be to replace your rooftop AC, controller and distribution box. Do you prefer a wall thermostat, or a distribution box with manual controls on the ceiling? We have options for both,…
Hello Bart, thanks for reaching out. I can definitely point you in the right direction, but I will need a bit more information on your truck before I can recommend the correct tie downs. Can you please answer the following questions for me? 1. What…
Hello Homer, thanks for reaching out. The best option here will be a whole new AC system with a new rooftop unit, controller and distribution box. What I recommend for that is the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner System #ADV92SR. Then you can add the…
Hi Vern; they might but it depends on the configuration of your truck. For example, if your 2022 F-350 had an 8' bed with a factory/aftermarket hitch and your 2024 F-350 also has an 8' bed with a factory/aftermarket hitch they both use the…
Hello Mike, Sounds like you are getting things set up the right way and not going over your payload, I respect that. It looks like the weights are the same whether you have a 6 3/4' or 8' bed. If you happen to have an aftermarket hitch,…

What’s the difference between a 30-amp and a 50-amp RV power system?
Your RV’s power needs determine the right setup. A 30-amp system supplies up to 3,600 watts, which works well for smaller RVs with fewer appliances running at once. A 50-amp system provides up to 12,000 watts, ideal for larger RVs with multiple air conditioners, microwaves, and TVs running at the same time. Choosing the right amperage ensures you have enough power without overloading 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?
Your RV runs on two power systems—120V AC for large appliances and 12V DC for lights, fans, and pumps. A power converter takes shore power or generator power and converts it to 12V DC to charge your batteries and run your 12V devices. If you camp with hookups, a good converter ensures a steady power supply and keeps your batteries topped off.
How can I power my RV when camping off-grid?
Going off-grid doesn’t mean going without power. A solar panel setup lets you generate power from the sun, keeping your batteries charged without running a generator. A portable generator or power station is also great for extra power when solar isn’t an option. 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?
Before plugging in, always check the power source for proper voltage and polarity. Use a surge protector or electrical management system to protect your RV from faulty wiring. If your RV’s power cord doesn’t match the campground outlet, an adapter (dogbone) ensures compatibility.
