Re: Vortex 2 replacement fan

Have posted this mod using a Maxxair 7000K vent fan, it is a more expensive but believe me it is well worth the extra money for what you gain, copy and paste this link to take a look at it : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ZOF09Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, it is the most vers...

Re: Best Vent Fan Mod Ever

Just finished the vent fan mod last night, using the Maxxair Deluxe 7000K with remote vent fan, very simple install, tied into 12v power at the bathroom light, since it is not controlled by the main lighting switch at the control panel. This vent fan from the exterior view is very sleek and streamli...

Re: Digital Thermostat

Here are the links for the controller and t-stat if you have a Coleman Mach series system, by the way this mod controls the gas furnace as well, a welcome benefit.....Coleman 8530A3451 Digital Thermostat,Coleman 9330C755 Control Box, sold by Amazon, sorry the links would not work.

Re: Digital Thermostat

Leave the old manual control knobs in place on your rooftop unit, with today's quality control standards you never know when an electronic part will fail, if out on the camping trip you could swap the 115 v power back to the old control in 15 minutes and be back in business! Also, I have part number...

Re: AC/Furnace Thermostat Mod

I've done this mod to the last 2 campers we've owned, just finished it on our brand new Satellite 16ks yesterday, took about 2 hours. I added the electric strip as well, why use gas at my expense? But wired the gas furnace in too for those really cold nights. The most difficult part of this mod is r...

Re: 12VDC Heat Pump Thermostat to control Coleman Mach 3 AC and Gas Furnace

No need to run a separate wire to power center, simply attach blue wire to to new controller metal housing as it is grounded, ac and dc circuits share ground so it makes this mod much easier, determine which of the the 2 wires to wall mounted t-stat is 12 vdc+, attach it to red wire going to new t-s...

Re: Screen houses

We have a 10x12 screen room that we purchased earlier this year at Sam's Club. I don't remember the brand right off but it is very easy to put up and we love it. It has two doors, and half shades for each side that can be rolled up to pinned down. Easily goes over table, very light to pick up and mo...

Hope to make a maiden voyage that weekend but as we have another camper for sale we may have to stay home to show it. :D We live in Western North Carolina near Asheville and are surrounded by beautif...
