RE: Can anybody tell me
Rockwood, Flagstaff
Rockwood and Flagstaff are twin brands. Rockwood Roo and Flagstaff Shamrock are the Hybrid lines.
Only differences are outside decals and interior decor.
Jayco no longer makes hybrids nor popups.
As a former hybrid owner and following them for the past 20 years, it appears that hybrids and popups are losinfg favor with RV manufacturers. When a RV company as big as Jayco stops making them, that says a lot.

RE: How much capacity is lost if converter isn't Li-friendly?
I don't have a dog in this discussion, but Lithium scares me with all the fires that have taken place. (Geezers get worried over nothing.) I think I will stay with the lead/acid and genset.
That's a different Lithium. You need to read up on the different types of Lithium batteries. LiPo batteries are very safe.

RE: 2018 StarCraft GPS
Wa8yxm
I was able to pull up both the installation and owners manuals but they don’t provide what I’m needing. I’ve lost the 12v supply to the furnace and I’m trying to figure out where StarCraft feeds the 12v to the furnace from. I open the access panel under the shower pan and traced the white and yellow wires thru the floor but I don’t know where they go without pulling the fiber board and insulation from under the camper. I guess what I’m looking for is a wiring diagram for the StarCraft GPS.
Such diagrams rarely exist for the consumer. You'll have to contact Starcraft. Or join a Starcraft Owners forum.

RE: Predator gennys?
Has anyone bought these gennys? Looking at 2 2000 watt units to power a/c when boondocking.
There are much chealer and quieter choices, plus there is no Predator 2200w inverter generator. Just the 2000w.
For example, you can get an A-1 Power 2300w inverter generator that has a 52db noise rating, for $400 at Sam's Club.
Now the Predator 3500w inverter generator is a great buy, for quietness and price.

I don't think that the Hybrid Travel Trailer section is the appropriate place for your questions.

RE: Cub C230 Manual
Looking for a manual pdf. hard copy etc. for 2000 Cub C230
Doesn't exist anywhere but it was most certainly a generic owners manual owners manual with no model-specific nor brand-specific information. Just basic RV systems information.
Your only hope is finding someone who still owns a 24 year old Aerolite Cub hybrid.

RE: Seeking Suggestions for Hybrid Under 4,500 lbs. - THANKS!
Hi,
My wife and I only camp a couple times each year and are looking to replace our 2003 Starcraft 17FK -- which is an acceptable size and we like having 2 pop-out beds (one for my wife and I, and the other for my grown son when he camps with us). A configuration having either 2 pop-out beds, or one stationary bed and one pop-out would work, if there is a make/model/configuration where you would not have to give up the table for the visitor bed.
My tow vehicle is a 2022 Chevy Blazer, with a tow capacity max of 4,500 lbs.
Thinking about used (maybe 2013 or newer).
Would appreciate any suggestions. We're open minded to the possibilities.
Thanks!
Rick
There is no hybrid with a stationary bed, that would be within your car's specs. You'll be limited to a hybrid with max REAL world tongue weight of 450lbs, which limits you to the smallest of hybrids, like your 17FK.

RE: 12 volt issue?
I stated 30 years ago. NO RV maker installs a 12 volt TV in a new RV and have not for over 25 years. Yes, you can find them, but 120 volt LCD is the cheapest best way to go. Doug
You'd be wrong. Quite a few newer RVs come with factory 12v only tvs.
I'm a moderator on a very large RV forum and see it quite often.

RE: How to Stabilize Pedestal Table Legs in Trailer w Soft Floor
Unfortunately your luan/styrofoam sandwich construction sub-flooring has probably gotten wet, causing soft spots.

RE: Is a roof leak covered by warranty?
I just discovered that my 2022 Jayco travel trailer which I bought in February, 2023 has a roof leak. Would a roof leak be a covered warranty item or will they say that a leaking seal (if that's what it is) is a maintenance item?
Thanks, Stephen Gaines
If you haven't inspected the caulking, then they'll probably deny it since that a maintenance issue.
If the roof membrane is bad, then the it should be covered by the membrane manufacturer's warranty.

RE: What size waste tank to buy?
Since we only use our tote tank for gray water and there's only two of us, we went with the 15 gallon tank. Any bigger gets harder to deal with it.
We're able to go at least 2 weeks without dumping our black tank.

RE: Champion 2500-Watt Dual Fuel Inverter Generator
We were boondocking recently next to a guy who had a Champion generator. Couldn't hear myself think when he had it running.
Was this an open frame generator or an inverter. I have two 2000 watt inverter units and they are both very quiet. I combine them when I need to run high power stuff but most of the time we run one of them in eco mode. That is enough to charge my TT batteries after running the furnace all night.
To tell you the truth, I didn't notice. All that I noticed was that they were Champion.
There's a big difference between a Champion inverter generator and a Champion open frame contractor-style generator.
If your neighbor had a Honda open frame contractor-style generator, would you also say that Hondas are loud?
As opposed to Honda and Yamaha, Champion has paid attention to the needs of RVers, by providing a huge variety of quiet inverter generators, including dual fuel.

RE: 1978 Holiday Rambler - 12V DC problems - no lights
The chances of finding such documentation, for a 45 year old defunct brand RV(even if they ever existed, which I doubt), are slim to none.
You might find a RV restorer that might have some factory records.

RE: May have towed too much weight
Sorry! New to this….
Tv is Honda pilot and Tt is a 19mdble surveyor
Max 55-60
One thing for sure, the trailer's loaded tongue weight is over your Pilot's max hitch weight of 500lbs. With a fantasy dry tongue weight of 470lbs, adding just the battery weight, it's over 500lbs. That's without the weights of factory options, dealer add-ons, water and trailer cargo.
