General Discussion / Re: Duo Therm Penguin A/C
« on: October 07, 2026, 01:24:08 pm »
On this last trip my A/C quit, no fan no compressor. I had previously replaced the ceiling fixture because the original plastic filter holders had broken. Troubleshooting the unit discovered that all was good inside but no A/C. Because I'm getting too old to be making a habit of crawling around on the roof I took pictures and ordered the 3 possible parts. 47uf start cap, 20+10uf run cap and the PTCR. I ordered and replaced these 3 parts and all is well. On the bench the PTCR measure 38ohms in both directions. The 47uf start cap measured 47uf. But the 20 +10 only measure 6uf on the 20 uf section. Could have saved myself some money (the PTCR is expensive at $60) but to me it was worth it to only climb on the roof twice. BTW for some reason my A/C has always been reasonably quiet.

at 100.000 miles I took the rv to a Ford dealer because i wanted the plugs changed and had read horror stories about stripped threads. Lucky I did though because one cylinder had anti-freeze in it so they replaced the head gasket. I wanted the transmission serviced but they said to leave it as is because in their experience replacing the fluid could cause leaks and slippage.

my 2005 has a RCA phono plug there, so it must have originally came with a powered subwoofer ( now missing).

I've used the Beechlane system on my last 3 motorhomes including my 2350 and was really happy with the convenience, but when I decided this was my last motorhome I ordered the HWH swing away levelers and had the factory in Moscow (Iowa) install them. Now I just push a button and the hydraulics do the rest. BTW expect to spend around 5K but to me it is worth it.

I would not recommend the Renology because it's very hard to see the display and it doesn't Blutooth to your phone. I've had really good luck with : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09W2H9FB1?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_11

The battery Is pretty tight in fact I had to remove the old slides. Its a Dakota Lithium, biggest one they make. 320 amps with a 200 watt solar panel seems to give me plenty of power. I ran the solar cables into the side (with a 2 port fixture) coming out in the closet and the solar controller is on the closet wall, connected to the back of the inverter. Under the hood I mounted a 40a DC-DC converter connected in-line from the alternator to the coach battery. Usually when I'm boondocking I like to take a nap with the AC on so the generator charges everything to 100 while I'm napping. Also mounted on the closet wall is a 12v to 30v booster for the Starlink mini cable which also comes in the side wall. Antenna is permanently mounted on the luggage rail.

bike chain superlube (any brand synthetic). Just extend the slide out and duck under and spray. Also spray the shiny parts up high on the sides that have to slide too.

My 2350 also has a lighter plug on the wall between the kitchen and the bed.

I'm very happy with my 2005 (2004?) 2350. It has the solid rear cap with spare, I upgraded the single battery to a 320amp lithium and added a xantrex whole house inverter (easy to install in the closet floor). Upgraded surround amplifier and speakers, and other comfort things and now it's an ideal motorhome for myself and 2 dogs. Can't believe my Fridge is still working after 21 years and 110,000 miles.

« on: August 02, 2026, 04:05:05 pm »
Couldn't use the shims, must be for a different awning arm. Works great without then. Takes about 4 hours the first time, probably 2 the next time. Powering the awning from the light under the cabinet by the door with the switch and wiring under the cabinet (inside the cabinet floor).
