Auto - the fan will cycle on and off with the compressor when it reaches the temp.

Low - low fan speed - should only be used in cool areas for just air circulation

High - high fan speed - fan will run all the time / compressor will cycle on and off

These settings are controlled with the fan speed button on the remote.

I had an error code "compressor drive malfunction". I fixed that by reading these forums.

My problem now: The owner manuel says the fan should run all the time and only the compressor should cycle off. In the owners manuel - trouble shooting- it states if the whole unit shuts down this is normal.

Should the unit shut down when it reaches desired temperature and cycle back up to desired temperature or should the unit run continuous with only the compressor cycling on and off?

New member from SE Idaho.  Have a 28' Dutchmen GS-L and 43' gooseneck toy hauler for the winter toys.  Need to get acquainted with the site, but my main project is re-wiring the gooseneck for AC service.  Definitely need some examples of a 50A set-up to start of with.  Thx

Works great for boats too. The neighbors might look at you funny but it makes "backing" the trailer SO much easier than the "normal" way.

You can also mount a service step to perform maintenance in the engine compartment or use it as a winch mount.

It fits a 2004-2008 Ford F150. The price is $100 (over $200 new) and shipping is $35 (it's heavy!). PM or email me if you want more details. Thanks.

I have a 2006 Kipor 3500Ti generator that I hauled on the back of my travel trailer using a 2″ receiver/hitch. The generator is rubber mounted on a 2″ square tube mount that slides in to any 2″ receiver, perfect for travel trailers, 5th wheels, or your truck's front-mount hitch. 

I will drive up to 150 miles from Minden, NV to deliver or meet up with the buyer. Here are the specs on the genny:

  • 2006 Kipor 3500ti Inverter Generator - variable speed
  • 1 1/2 Exhaust resonator welded to the muffler outler (makes it really quiet)
  • Mounted using rubber isolators on a 2″ square tubing with 2″ cross members
  • 3.4 gallon gas tank will run an 13,500 BTU RV A/C for 8 hours
I'm asking $500. I'm throwing in a hitch tightener in that price too which holds the tongue to the receiver very firmly so there is no wobbling going down the road. Here are some pictures:

Waited a long, long time for this...Just bought my first...a 1986 Travel Trailer, all set up in a quiet campground...and I gotta tell ya...I'm hooked!  Nice-looking unit, but know there'll be plenty to do...sure could use a lot of experienced advice along the way...not only why I'm here...so excited about this new venture, can't wait to learn all I can...oh, the plans I have for reinventing this to make it my own...

Yes...I'm going too fast, but don't worry, I'll slow down once the reality of it all kicks in...like I said, I've been dreamin about something like this for SO long, somewhere along the way I guess I just stopped thinking about it ever happenning. But that's all changed now!

It's time that I can finally say..."I've got a camp!"

Great to be here...and sooo glad there's actually a website out there like this one!

Many thanks,

Hi Everyone!

I sold my TT (getting a motorhome) and am selling some of the parts I used to mod my RV. I have an inverter, battery switches and fuse/holder, batteries, tongue-mount generator, cords, leveling blocks, etc. I'm listing them on ebay so it will be easier for anyone interested to view the details. But feel free to ask any questions about any of the items. Here are the ebay links:

Xantrex 1800 Watt MSW Inverter - SOLD

4-Position Battery Switch - Heavy Duty - RELISTED

On-Off Battery Switch - Heavy Duty - RELISTED

ANL 200 Amp Fuse Holder w/Fuse - RELISTED

I'm not listing the tongue-mount generator on eBay because the shipping costs would be too high. I will drive up to 150 miles from Minden, NV to deliver or meet up with the buyer. Here are the specs on the genny:


  • 2006 Kipor 3500ti Inverter Generator - variable speed
  • 1 1/2 Exhaust resonator welded to the muffler outler (makes it really quiet)
  • Mounted using rubber isolators on a 2″ square tubing with 2″ cross members
  • 3.4 gallon gas tank will run an 13,500 BTU RV A/C for 8 hours
The generator fits any 2″ receiver so it's perfect to use on your RV's rear mounted hitch or your tow vehicles front/rear receiver. I'm asking $500. I'm throwing in a hitch tightener in that price too which holds the tongue to the receiver very firmly so there is no wobbling going down the road. Here are some pictures:

I'll be listing more stuff over the next few days. Happy modding with some really discounted parts!


How much are you selling your Kipor Gen?

The air bags will fit all 2004-2010 F150 4×4 models. Here is the link to the ModMyRV forum post where I have some pictures:

Air Bags and Load Controller II Installation - SOLD

I'm asking $150 (half the price of new!) and $20 shipping.

I'm also selling a front-mount tow hitch from my F-150. It's made by Drawtite and you can view this mod on my truck here:

Front mount receiver hitch - F-150 - STILL AVAILABLE

The price is $100 (over $200 new) and shipping is $35 (it's heavy!).

But wait! There's more. I have a gently used Prodigy brake controller with mounting bracket and harness (for an F-150). See the mod here:

Prodigy Brake Controller Install - F150 - SOLD

The price is $50 (including harness) and shipping is $6.

More stuff to sell so stay tuned!
