Going to spend a few days 're prepping' the camper.
Generator question for ya'll... The generator is installed, and runs, but doesn't seem to sense a load. I can' manually increase the RPM's on the genset and kick in the compressor on the AC, but it never rev's over an idle on it's own. I honestly think the genset is fine, I'm leaning towards a ground on the RV's converter/charging system. Just curious if anyone has had a similar issue, and or... solution ideas.

Without Trucks,....America Stop's
Bought it the end of June 2010 for next to nothing and took off on a 1,200 mile trip 4 days later. It ran like a top!
This is my first RV and I absolutely love it! Looking forward to many, many trips in this beast.
I'll post a pic in my signature soon, but in the meantime, I have a question.
Above the couch is a storage cabinet. The cabinet face folds down into a bed. I can't find any info on this "bed" on the Internet, or in the original owners manuals that came with the RV.
It doesn't look like a customization, but I guess it could be??
My question is: is there a board or something that goes over the folded down bed?
When it's folded down, there is a recessed channel where the hinge is, and two "holes" that make up the cabinet openings when it's folded up. I know I'm not explaining myself very well. I'll try to post some pictures in a day or so.

Mine, for instance, is Concord. Plenty on here are Tioga, Champion (same as Concord), Titan, Coachmen, etc.
I have a storage cabinet at the back with slider doors in it that folds down to a bed. The pieces are kept together with a piano hinge. There is no need to add a separate board to stiffen the bed if a child is going to sleep in that bunk, but I'm not sure an adult should sleep up there without additional support. I have a front bunk that's made exactly the same way, but no storage access holes.

I *think* it's a Minnie Winnie MW23RB.
Here are a few photos.

When looking at the photo that shows the back end of the camper, you'll see a wrought iron divider. You can see a lip on the divider - that's what the front of the cabinet rests on when it's down. It's also held up by two steel cables - one on each end.

We've got the best of both worlds
Didn't you have a problem with your coach battery being overcharged and how did you fix it... I had this problem coming home the other day.... I may have fried my coach battery... my dash guage showed about right, but coach battery was way hot.... didn't seem to be bothering the engine batt.
I don't think anyones dying statement ever contained the words "I wish I had spent more time in the office", so lets go somewhere!
Do you have photos of the cabinet folded down? I'm not sure what you are asking exactly. Is there a folded mattress up there now? Are you planning on using this as a bed, or just curious?

Fortunately, we were going ~20 mph when it let loose. Bought another 77 Dodge RV for parts, and got our RV running again last week-end. The "RV for parts" originated in the South, so the underbody is in excellent condition. Cabin is not a project I want to tackle right now, so it will be a spare parts bin. Worth the purchase price in tires and rims alone.
