Ever try to start your A/C on a hot day at high altitude with a generator that is supposedly rated to handle the A/C’s starting requirements? The generator struggles, goes in to overload, or just plain stalls because it cannot supply the current demands of the A/C’s motor fast enough. Stories abound that many are [...]

Mod #77: Leaf Spring Equalizer

ModMyRV — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 21:40:51 +0000

Like the shock absorber mod, the leaf spring equalizer mod is a great way to improve ride quality and reduce frame stress on your dual or triple axle towable RV.

Mod #74: Tankless Water Heater

ModMyRV — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 00:57:37 +0000

So how long can you shower in your RV? I’ll bet for most of you it’s not more than a few minutes before you start to run out of hot water. Of course, you can use the “navy shower” technique and that’s works for most. But for some of you, taking a long hot shower [...]
