The Official Camper and Camping Thread

[giles]

Thanks guys, I'll give that a try next time.

Brock, let me know if you find one that peaks your interest. I'll be happy to take a look at it. A lot of good used campers on the market. It really is a great way for some family fun and memory building.

After using the camper several times this year I finally cleaned and de winterized it. Momma had a few days off between school and work so, Levi and I brought her up the lake for the past couple days. We've been staying at east harbor. it's been killing me watching all the guys leaving out chasing eyes, but I'm here for her.
We're heading home tomorrow just to drop her off, then Levi and I are heading down to the smokey'a for a week or so. I'll still have a week to burn before I'm due back to work after that so, from there who knows where I'll be heading. Might just come home and get the boat to head to the river for a few days, I just don't know.
I've definitely been looking forward to this time. Works been crazy and I've spent way to much time there for the last couple of months. Been working 36 to 48 hrs at a time just to go home and sleep just to do it all over again.

If anyone needs some good company in a week or so getting in to trouble let me know[emoji16].

At least I have good company

Sounds like a great time John. Wish I woulda known you guys were close, would have been happy to show you and Levi some local fishing holes. I am heading west tomm and leaving my truck in Fremont, but on my way to Chicago.

Looks like we'll be pulling the camper over Friday to the farm. Garage sale and some animal duty at the in-laws says I am kicking back this weekend!

Thanks Dave. I've lost interest at this point. Haha. I found a really nice one that was only 10k but the thought of having it sitting in the way for the entire year knowing we'd only use it a half dozen times a year is a turnoff for me.

That would have been cool, I was about to track a couple of you guys down that live up there, if my boredom got any worse. I don't " just sit around" well. Next time maybe, I was thinking about heading back up to do some fishing possibly next week.

Any insights? I bought a 2015 pop up last fall with a Dometic A/C unit. Everything in amazing condition, like new. Went out twice and everything great. Stored inside all winter in an insulated garage with cover. This spring, been out 4 times already. Everything great except the A/C won't blow cold. Fan on it runs, and Filters are clean. I've let it run for an hour and nothing. Thoughts?

Take off outside cover and rinse out the heat exchanger/radiator portion. They clog up with cottonwood, dirt, etc. An internet search will help ya.

Have you clean d it out? Does it sound like the pump is cycling?

 

[giles]

Hahahaha! Good timing, Adam.

Hahahaha! Good timing, Adam.

LOL, cheers giles, same to you.

I will try this this weekend. Will let you know how it goes...

Good luck! I hope that's all it is.

 

[Qback5]

Thanks again for the advice. I removed the cover this morning, and everything was very clean...cleaned it all anyway (both coils or whatever they are called...one in the back and one that was covered further toward the front). Checked any connections I could find and everything fine. Fired it up again and still no cold air. Fan blows strong. I swear I hear something kick on when I crank the thermostat to air.

 

[giles]

What kind of power are you running to it?

 

[Qback5]

I've done 30 amp (standard for this unit), and today was 15 amp. Last fall both worked fine for running it.

 

[5Cent]

Dang, was hoping something cheap and easy for the fix. I don't know anything else about them than they need the drain holes kept clean or it backs up into the camper when the condenser melts lol.

Can ya check pressure anywhere?

Good luck!

 

[Qback5]

Yeah, beyond cleaning I don't know much about these units. I have a service appt in about 2 weeks. We shall see....

 

[giles]

Sounds like that'd be my next move as well. Keep us posted so we can learn!

 

[Qback5]

Will do. Thanks for the ideas so far. Kills me to take anything in for service...Been a long time.

With family in from AK the camper came in damn handy again! 10 people for two weeks has been boarder line hell. If it wasn't for the camper, I'm pretty sure blood would've been shed[emoji23].

Looking like I'm taking Friday off and we are going to head to East Harbor for a few days.

Have fun bud.
