RE: Lithium Battery Upgrade
Now add the discussion about how to protect your alternator and prevent current flow from your starter battery to your house battery.
If you are adding lithium batteries you must account for these two things.
Simple. I pulled the fuse in the trailer that is in that circuit. No need
to charge the trailer batteries from the alternator with the solar on the roof.

RE: Older Norcold fridge issue
The fridge in daughter and son-in-law's '98 Nash TT is on the fritz after working well just a couple months ago. Freezer is 4 degrees, but the fridge is in the 50's on both AC and gas. No ice buildup between top and bottom to impede airflow. We pulled the vent cap off and the coils look reasonably clean. Plenty of hot air up through the vent, though we didn't check the flue itself. We pulled the box around the burner and cleaned out some dirt and junk from there, but it wasn't affecting the flame. We used some canned air to blow off what we could around the burner.
All that said, should he bite the bullet and put in a new fridge or would one of the "Amish" replacement cooling units be a better choice. Almost double the cost for a new fridge. Are newer units better? How hard is it to swap out the cooling unit as a DIY project?
Thanks,
Lyle
Are newer units better?
Most definitely NOT!

RE: AC Compressor runs long (after an shutoff).
The relay on the control board that sends power to the compressor is stuck on.

RE: Atwood 7920-II furnace failure
If you have a 12 volt test light or a multimeter check for power coming into the circuit board at the blue wire of the connector. That will verify the thermostat is working and odds are the circuit board is bad. Not sending power to the fan motor.

RE: Atwood 7920-II furnace failure
If you have the newer version with the fan relay on the circuit board you need to check for power from the fan terminal to the fan motor when the thermostat is calling for heat. And make sure the thermostat is closing the circuit between the two white wires on this diagram.
