  • Recommended Tankless Replacement For An Atwood GC6AA-10E RV Water Heater
    Hi Wes, All newer water heater models are transitioning to smaller sizes as the technology gets better so you'll likely have a gap regardless of which unit you choose to go with. There's typically framing around the water heater so you'll just need to add in some 2" x 2" boards to fill in the gap and give the mounting flange of the new unit something to grab onto when mounting. I've attached a video below where Jake had to do this in order to install the # FR93FR. These units come with...

  • Recommended RV Awning For A 2021 Winnebago Solis 59PX
    Since your roof extends up you'll want to go with a wall mount awning like the Thule HideAway Awning # TH490011 to avoid any interference. This will come with carriage bolts and brackets to secure it to the wall of the vehicle. I do recommend picking up some butyl tape # AL28FJ to prevent any water from leaking in through the carriage bolts. I've attached an installation video below where Brad will walk you through the process.

  • Recommended Replacement For A Suburban SW6 DE RV Water Heater
    Hi Michael, To replace your Suburban SW6 DE water heater you'll want the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR98SR. This tankless water heater is one of the most efficient units on the market, producing up 144 gallons of hot water per hour. The dimensions I'm seeing for your Suburban show it being roughly 12-3/4" tall by 12-3/4" wide so the # FR98SR with its 16" x 16" door would be a great fit. During the installation you're going to want to use some butyl tape # AL28FJ on the back...

  • Recommended Butyl Tape And Sealant For Installing A MaxxAir RV Roof Vent
    I recommend the Alpha Systems Butyl Tape for RV Weatherproofing # AL28FJ as it's 1" wide to fully cover the flange of your vent. Make sure you overlap the ends to form a tight waterproof seal. You can see me doing this at 2:50 mark in the attached video below. As for the sealant, I recommend the Alpha Systems 1021 Self-Leveling Sealant for RVs # AL98KV. One tube of this will be enough to fully cover the screws and layer it down to the roof to ensure you don't have a water leak.

  • Recommended Replacement For A Suburban SW6DEL RV Water Heater
    The dimensions I'm seeing for a Suburban SW6DEL show it being 12.69"h x 12.69"w x 19.19"d so the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR98SR would most likely match up perfectly or require you to trim the opening by 1/8". The water inlet/outlet locations are a bit different than both the Furrion and Fogatti units so you may have to make some minor modifications to hook up your lines. I receive a lot of troubleshooting questions with Fogatti units so I'm very hesitant to ever recommend one...

  • Recommended Replacement For A Dometic CareFree Latitude Awning On A 2017 Thor Windsport 34 P
    You can definitely replace your Dometic CareFree awning with the Solera 12V XL Power RV Awning # LCV000335015-362241. You'll just want to ensure the length is correct to replace your current awning since the arms are a bit different between the two awnings. Solera awnings have vertical arms that will mount to the wall of your motorhome. The # LCV000335015-362241 has 78" long arm brackets so you'll need to ensure that these won't get in the way of anything else (windows, door handles,...

  • Can Two Solar Panels Be Added to Setup With Single Panel and 30 Amp Solar Controller
    Hey Tom! Yes, you can add two of the # 34282182 to your setup. I have 3 of these panels on my trailer, which you can see below, and I'm using the 30 amp # GP76QR. This will be the limit of the controller. You will also want some self-leveling sealant # 34427034145-1 and butyl tape # AL28FJ to complete the installation. What kind of trailer do you have?

  • Can The High Pointe Microwave # HP94ZR Be Vented To The Outside
    The High Pointe Over the Range RV Convection Microwave # HP94ZR can be vented outside but you'd need to pick up a bit of ducting and duct tape from your local hardware store to connect the vents on the top of the unit to an exterior vent. If you don't already have an exterior vent then we currently offer one in white # V2111-13 and black # V2111-55. You'll want to pick up some butyl tape # AL28FJ and some non-sag sealant # 344270341437-1 for a waterproof connection to the trailer wall.

  • Parts Needed to Install Solar on 2016 Jayco Pinnacle 5th Wheel
    Hey Paul; the answer to your question depends on what you want to do exactly. It also depends on what your trailer already has on it. I'm going to assume the 2016 Jayco Pinnacle you put in our fitguide is the trailer you have. I'm also going to operate off of the assumption that it has the solar prep in place. If it doesn't, you will need additional wires to run to everything. If you just want to charge the batteries you will need your 200W solar panel # 34282182 and feet # 34272708 and...

    Hey Dan, There unfortunately isn't a guide to tell us what size skylight dome your trailer has installed on it so you'll need to measure your current one to find the correct replacement. We offer the following sizes: 14"W x 14"L # SR29RR 14"W x 22"L # SR87RR 14"W x 30"L # SR27RR 16"W x 26"L # SR59RR 18"W x 24"L # SR99RR 18"W x 30"L # SR69RR 22"W x 22"L # SR79RR 22"W x 34'L # SR89RR You'll also want to pick up some butyl tape # AL28FJ and self-leveling sealant # 34427034145-1 for a waterproof...

    Hi Marty; depending on what your solar pre-wiring entails the Go Power PWM Solar Charge Controller # GP76QR and Go Power Overlander Expansion Kit - 200 Watt Solar Panel # 34282182 may be what you need. Do you have a sticker somewhere on the wall inside that is marked for a specific Go Power PWM Solar Charge Controller? It would look similar to the one attached below. If you have this sticker/template, along with an entry plate like # 34273840 on top of your trailer, then these parts will...

  • Will The Furrion Tankless Water Heater Be A Good Replacement For An Atwood GC6AA-10E
    The Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR48SR would be the correct choice to replace your Atwood GC6AA-10E in terms of size. The unit has a depth of 19-1/4" so you'd have about 3/4" for your water and gas hookups, so you might need to change out your fittings to ones with a 90 degree bend in order to get them in place. These units require both propane and 12v DC power in order to operate. The propane fuels the heat and the 12v powers the electronics that control the heat output. You power...

  • Replacement For A Furrion FWHO9A-AM Tankless RV Water Heater
    Furrion/Lippert love to change the part numbers constantly on their products so it can be a bit tricky to find exactly what you're looking for if you don't know the right places to look. The FWHO9A-AM refers to the unit without the door, which would be part # FR93FR for our website. If you need the door as well then we have the following sizes: 16" x 16" Door # FR98SR 16" x 18" Door # FR48SR 18" x 18" Door # FR68SR If you plan on completing the installation yourself you'll also need...

  • What Kind of Sealant do I Want to Use to Patch My Cargo Trailer Roof to Keep it Air Tight?
    Hello James, I am very sorry to hear that your trailer was damaged by the hurricane, I hope there is not too much other damage that needs repairing. Glad you are OK and able to write in. For sealing the new metal panel to your cargo trailer’s roof, I’d recommend using butyl tape # AL28FJ between the new and old metal surfaces before riveting. This will create a strong, flexible seal that helps prevent water intrusion. Once the panel is secured, you’ll want to go over the edges and rivet...

  • Troubleshooting A Leaking MaxxAir MaxxFan In A 2021 Forest River Rockwood Mini Lite Travel Trailer
    The inner shroud of the vent is for looks only so it's very concerning that you're getting water through the cracks in it from overtightening the mounting screws. This would be an indication that you have a leak originating somewhere up on the roof. This is typically caused by a damaged lid or poor sealing job when installing the vent. If the lid is the issue then I would need to know the specific model to find the correct replacement lid. There's also covers like the # MA86JR that can...

  • Parts Needed To Swap To A 21' Awning On A Forest River Forester 2861DS
    Hey Ken, In order to go larger you'll need the extrusion rail (top rail the fabric slips into at the wall) to cover the length of the awning, mounting hardware, butyl tape # AL28FJ, non-sag sealant # 344270341437-1, and some extra wiring to run from the new awning to either the existing switch or to install the new switch included with the # LC75FR. I would also recommend reaching out to Forest River and seeing if they'll give you a diagram of the stud layout so you can measure and make...

  • Solar Panel for Battery on Cargo Trailer for LED Lights
    Hey Steven! It sounds like that battery is running down and not getting recharged to power the lights. The panel, controller, and wiring are all you need to add solar to your cargo trailer. I recommend using a portable panel like the Go Power DuraLite Portable Solar Panel with Digital Solar Controller # GP66FR. You can run this directly to your battery through an open door or you can install an SAE Port # GP49QR on the side of the trailer to connect to the solar panel. This also gives...

  • Slide Topper Needed For A Grand Design Imagine 2250RK Travel Trailer
    Hey Jonathan, The Solera RV Slide-Out Awning - 103" Wide - Black # LCV000168108 would be the correct size for your 103" slide out as long as you don't have anything next to it that could interfere with the arms of the awning. Awning arms will stick out 2.5" so if you don't have anything within 3" of either side of the slide out you shouldn't have any issues. The consistency of the butyl tape is the bigger factor here when choosing the best one. Some are VERY thin and a nightmare to...

You'll want to pick up some buytl tape # AL28FJ and self-leveling sealant # 34427034145-1 to waterproof the vent. I've attached an installation video below where I'll walk you through the process.

  • Are Replacement Control Boards Available For An Atwood RV Water Heater Model No. GCH10A-3E
    Hey Ron, Since the Atwood line has been discontinued for some time now we no longer offer the correct control board for your GCH10A-3E model. At this point all we can recommend is replacement of the entire system. If you want to go that route then I recommend going with a Furrion tankless water heater. These are a bit smaller so you'll need to frame in the cutout hole in order for the new unit to have something to mount to. Some 2x2's or 2x3's would likely be more than enough to fill in...

  • Replacement Control Panel For An Atwood GC6AA-10E RV Water Heater
    Hey Guy, The correct replacement control panel for your Atwood GC6AA-10E is part number 91365. We unfortunately no longer carry this part since it's been discontinued but you can check to see if anyone else might still have one. If not then you'll have to replace the entire water heater. To replace this unit you'll want the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater - 16" x 18" Door # FR48SR. This unit is tankless so you won't have wait for the tank to heat up or deal with the tank lining corroding...

  • Are There Any RV Water Heaters Rated For Below Freezing Use
    Hey Todd, Tankless systems are great, but a lot of them have built in sensors to turn themselves off in weather below 36-32 degrees (depending on the model) or will still freeze like a normal tanked system. The issue is that the unit is always facing out exposed to the elements because it needs to exhaust out. With a tankless you could run the unit constantly to keep the water moving and hopefully prevent it from freezing but it's not a guarantee and you'd likely be using quite a bit of...

  • Will the Solera Family Room for 15' Wide RV Awnings Work on My 1995 Ford Class C Coachman?
    Hello Edu, I do not have a database with what is put on what camper, so I am not sure what size awning was originally put on the 28ft 1995 Ford Class C Coachman. The Solera Family Room for 15' Wide RV Awnings - Gray # LC362230 will work if your measurement from center arm to center arm is 15 feet.

    Hey John, You're likely going to run into an issue with the aluminum siding regardless of what railing you choose. The bases would need to fit inside the grooves of the side and match the spacing in order for you to not have to trim or alter the siding. I've seen people either trim out the siding just enough to fit the bases of the railing or place some sort of weatherproof block to push out from the siding for the bases to mount to. With either installation method you'd obviously want...
