I owned a Casita for nearly ten years before my ILOVHER in the Midwest and I never had any moisture problems or odors with the carpeted walls. Any condensation was usually found on the single paned windows during cold weather. The carpet stayed very clean and never was musty although I rarely cooked in her. As others have said.. Airflow, Heat and/or A/C usage along and with Damprid are needed in most RVs.

I kinda figured that.. My Eureka has a proprietary fitting so I'm sure that isnt going to work. As you can see the grill has its own ancient reg and it just literally sets inside the tube.. So I guess I wont be using it for anything. What appliances do work??

I don't see myself using the propane quick connect fitting on the curbside often as I usually set up a kitchen under a canopy but I thought I'd play around with it to see if it worked I ordered a fitting to connect to my Eureka stove and my ANCIENT Sunbeam grill (lava rocks even!) they take one pound canisters and everything connected properly.. I did pull the sleeve back, clicked in and turned the lever on the quick connect...and no go. Both onboard propane tanks are full and open. There's Just a tiny bit of gas flowing and a tiny flame on both the stove and grill. I don't claim to know much about regulators or propane fittings but are these regulators just too many in line after the main? How does this work or will it work? I went to the back by the bumper to see if that one worked and its been capped off. It's not absolutely necessary but Id like to know how it operates! Thanx for any input!

Thank you so much! I think my husband already bought the fan so I'll have him look at the rest of this..thanx again!

I primarily boondock...partly cuz nowadays, it's so busy, you have to! I am prohibitively far from the factory for this mod even if it's offered free. I can adjust to 20 gallons or so as I had only 15 in my Casita. Just seems a waste of space and a poor design especially because now I have a tank monitor that is also essentially useless. KISS principal was lost here. I'm not complaining really...ILOVHER but this is something I'll have to mod eventually.

I would like to see better design of the fresh water tank. I'm not a fan of the 'boondocking pump valve changing lifting mattress thing' nor the fact that I can't access all of the fresh water available. (I think I read about a mod to spin weld an access port with a special tube but I'm not sure how to do that myself) Why take a simple concept and make it more complicated? KISS principal I say. I just want to pour or siphon the water into the tank and call it a day.

Yeah, I don't stress this kind of stuff unless it's a major appliance. I'm just working the bugs out as this is only my second trip in ILOVHER. I will say this fridge doesn't stay as cold as my old 2007 Dometic (although same model). I never had a fan for it in my Casita and never needed one, even in the desert. I usually would take the vent covers off in hot weather, maybe clip a small electric fan on it and call it a day!

Husband is an electrical engineer..I'm pretty sure he can troubleshoot it. He's just not with me this trip. My trailer has the fan held on by rubber bumpers in the upper outside fridge compartment. I know because I replaced the washers holding it in with stainless. Maybe I bumped something when replacing although it worked yesterday. I will have him look at the thread you sent. Maybe it's a bad fuse.? We had a ton of rain here so maybe something shorted?

I guess I'm not following about the manual switch in that thread. I can replace the fan if necessary with the exact model but I want to troubleshoot this one as it was just working yesterday!

Ive been using a ceramic spray.. Nice and easy!

On a trip and the fridge fan quit. The interior switch lights but the fan doesn't run. It worked earlier today. Is this just an easy replaceable computer fan?

Good article.. sums it up nicely! I've had more interior likes than dislikes..but the ones who dislike it, are few.. AND incidently, are not invited to camp with me anyway!.. LOL.. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the compliment! Just as I did with the Casita, I have mod fever and it's steadily draining my camping funds! I wish that I had some of the skill set that a number of members here have! Good to know about the fridge. I was starting to worry about my Casita and it's removal as the rear window has to come out to replace it! If I only had to tear a backsplash out, that would be a lesser worry!

It's metal and is actually this one SeaDawg: https://www.menards.com/main/kitchen/backsplashes-wall-tiles/aspect-trade-12-5-x-4-peel-stick-metal-matted-subway-backsplash-tiles-3-pk/a9550/p-1444423160811-c-8163.htm?searchTermToProduct=5179777 There were three different designs in the nickel finish. I am really happy with it so far. We'll see how it holds up bumbling down the road. The adhesive was really strong. I decided to use construction adhesive to the left of the sink and cut the tile at a slight angle for the corner. I'm hoping I don't ever have to remove the fridge as this piece will be destroyed and the rest have to come down!

Thank you! The lotion is a 99 cent knockoff... Im nearly broke after my mod fever!

I decided to brighten up the area behind the sink by adding a nice backsplash in a brushed steel finish. I bought the backsplash at Menards but they are available on Amazon. They come in a variety of finishes. I used two packs. The beauty was in the peel and stick feature. They are about a foot long and can be cut with a jig saw.. Although I used a dremel cutoff wheel which worked fabulous. I also used a sanding tip on the dremel to finish the edges nicely. The area to the left of the sink was tricky and slightly uneven so I used a good glue and leveled that area first. I plan to seal with clear silicone on the top and bottom edges. I'm pleased with the result!

Its now the ILOVHER sign!

I guess I assumed the light functioned as a brake alert. Mine is definitely an LED strip. I will test when I hook up to go home to see if the light is illuminated when lights are turned from Auto to ON.

OK, good to know!

I posted a brief reply in one of the other threads but looking for anyone with tips on troubleshooting the rear upper brake light assembly. I removed and resealed the outer lense due to water leakage and of course now it doesn't work! I realize we can tackle from the inside and it probably shorted due to water intrusion but besides a voltmeter..any tips on where to look are greatly appreciated!

So if anyone is still following this thread or is remotely interested...after all that fuss and muss over the lens install, on my state park shakedown trip, just 10 minutes from my house, my husband noticed that the brake light is not illuminating! Holy smokes, I'm irritated! I realize we can troubleshoot from the inside of the trailer but still! I imagine something got wet and shorted.

I love your mud flap install and have studied it. Sadly, its out of my wheel house. Maybe someday I'll find someone willing to duplicate and fabricate them as I think it is a much worthy mod! For now, I'm not planning much off roading (although thats more my style) with ILOVHER. As far as a blowout, I've had one in ten years and my opinion is the fiberglass in that area is more at risk for serious destruction. At that end, my fittings are the least of my worries.

To put the sealant conversation to rest, we had a significant rain all day yesterday and the sealant held well! No leaks.. So far! Here is the silver lining in all this ~ The land yacht got a name!

These are the products I used but the quick connects can be purchased anywhere. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SKKV4GB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_6AHW2GN7VSF5S5HBG8PZ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 And https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08MY68JKD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_05TBWQ6KRM244F20J1B3
