How to Identify and Resolve Common Issues ?

We offer a diverse range of insights on identifying and resolving common problems in sports. Our sources encompass academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays shared by seasoned athletes. :

Pop up campers require a deep cycle battery in order to operate properly. Deep cycle batteries are designed for use in recreational vehicles and are made to withstand repeated deep discharge cycles. There are two main types of batteries that are used in pop up campers: lead-acid batteries and lithium-ion batteries.
The most effective way to maintain the charge in your battery when it`s in storage or not in use is to disconnect it. Even with everything off, batteries continue to draw electricity, so ensuring that it`s fully disconnected can make sure you`re not disappointed when you`re ready to take your RV back out on the road!
This might lead you to believe a battery is necessary to use any of the things on your DC system, and that would be a logical conclusion. Fortunately, it`s incorrect. An RV converter will continue to work even without a battery in place as long as you are plugged into shore power.
Properly maintained deep-cycle batteries should last for 6 or more years. Unfortunately, some RV owners replace RV batteries every year or two. Extending battery life is not difficult; it just requires some basic care & maintenance.
For pull-behind campers, you`ll most likely need 12V 100Ah or 12V 125Ah batteries. If you choose to use 6 volt batteries, you can wire them in a series to obtain 12 volts. If you`re using 12 volt batteries, you can wire them in parallel to get more amperage.
Yes, pop-up campers have electricity. They will have a dedicated 12-volt system that runs off a 12-volt battery (or batteries). This will power the lights, ventilation fans, and other smaller appliances and accessories.
Installing your popup camper TV mount

It has a big bolt and plate that screws up from the bottom and attaches to the TV mount. Then all you do is install the mounting brackets provided on the back of your TV. It`s that easy. We leave the mounting brackets on the TV when we travel.

Pop-up campers have a partial canvas construction that makes them collapse down into a portable, smaller package. They are also known as tent trailers or foldout campers. These campers have a large mattress, mess area, and a functional bathroom.
The VIN number can be found on your registration, and on the VIN plate. The VIN plate is typically found on the campers tongue. Use the Vin Decoder to identify your year.
If your RV battery won`t stay charged, you can simply recharge it. You can charge your batteries with a standard 12-volt auto battery charger. Set the charger for six or eight amps, and let it do its work overnight. This will recharge your batteries, but it won`t keep the charge forever.
You can charge your batteries by plugging your camper into a household 120-volt electric outlet at home or a campground.
Can I use a car battery in my RV? A car battery can be installed in your RV either as a starting battery or `house` battery, but its capacity may not be sufficient to last very long or perform well. Match the battery to the application for the best results.
Many RVs have monitor panels which display battery states of charge. This can also be measured with a voltmeter at the battery terminals. A fully charged battery at rest (no load or charging being done) should read 12.6 volts or higher.
Plug your RV to the wall and wait for the battery to charge. Check the RV`s charge light to see if it`s on. When the light is green, the RV battery is charging. If the light is yellow or orange, the RV battery is low and needs to be replaced.
If you are looking for more power for your RV, connecting 2 RV batteries is a novel solution to your problem. Joining 2 RV batteries together increases the voltage, the capacity, or both to give you more power.
Leaving your camper “up” might seem like a good idea. However, since pop ups are constructed with soft sides, typically canvas, leaving it popped up is an invitation for critters and pests to enter and set up house or cause destruction.
Never go faster than 55 miles per hour. Most trailer tires are not rated to go any faster than this, so allow other traffic to pass you instead of trying to speed up. Always make sure your tires on your towing vehicle and your camper are inflated to the correct psi levels to avoid a blowout.
Typically, RVs and trailers are insulated with fiberglass or aluminum. Unfortunately, popup campers are not insulated as well as these trailers. As a result, there are actions you need to take to ensure that your RV is warm and that you are safe during your next winter trip.
If you`ve left your pop-up camper out in the elements for too long or stored it incorrectly, chances are that mold and mildew have built up. Not only can these ruin your canvas, they also make your camper smell unpleasant. Address this problem as soon as you come across it.
Typically, pop ups can sleep as many as eight people, meaning you can bring friends and extended family along and not have to worry about snuggling up at night. More storage – in addition to being able to sleep more people, pop ups have much more room for storage.
The addition of a pop top will provide sleeping accommodation for a 2 further adults or grown up children. The degree of comfort and feeling of spaciousness is again dependent on the make and style of poptop.
Usually no AC or heat

Unlike travel trailers or other RVs, pop-up campers don`t usually come with heating or air conditioning (thanks to their lack of insulation and extra space). You`re at the mercy of nature. You can bring along a space heater for cooler months and a fan or portable AC unit for the summer.

You can shower in your pop-up camper. Some pop-up campers have exterior showers that can be used for showering, too. If your pop-up camper has an exterior shower, consider purchasing a pop-up shower privacy tent and take a shower in the great outdoors.
They would produce these newly `renamed` camper trailers for another three years before Coleman closed its doors, seemingly for good in 2011. Today, you`ll find the Coleman name on a small line of high-quality travel trailers that Dutchmen RV makes.

New battery just put boat in water always had a solar powered charger on battery took it off about a week ago today went to start boat battery dead. I do not know if it has altanator or what have a friend mechanic says he has a meter to test whatever, if you can send what to tes & numbers of tests & what might be bad or not hooked up. Thanks Brown
ANSWER : You will need to do 3 tests:

1 – you must find out if you have a short in the wiring: disconnect the + cable from the battery and put an ampermeter in there to close the circuit; if a current is detected it means that you have a short and it will drain the battery. To locate the short start disconnecting wires and look at the meter – when you will disconnect the wire that goes to the failed wire or part the current will stop flowing; find the faulty part and fix or replace it.2 – you must find out if the alternator is charging the battery correctly: start the motor, wait for half an hour then measure the voltage on the battery. If it’s below 14.1 volts then the alternator is failing and it will have to be replaced.3 – you must find out if the battery is in good working order: after the second test has finished shut down the engine and disconnect the battery; wait one hour and measure it -if the voltage on it has dropped to below 11.8 volts then the battery has aged and it’s no longer holding the charge so replace it.

I would like to hook up a 12 volt battery to the trailer. In the cupboard below the propane stove is a plug with white, black and orange wire to it.
In the AC power converter cupboard I have a plug with a black and orange wire. How do I hook up the battery so that it charges and runs the fridge while I’m driving, and lets me use the lights with the fridge on propane while I’m camping?
ANSWER : You haven’t told us what trailer you have, what DC-AC converter you have, it the wire is original or aftermarket and what gage it is.

Because of that you must first identify the wires. You will need a multimeter for that. Start by finding if your trailer has a negative wire or is using the chassis as the ground. For that disconnect the battery from the truck (make sure you have the radio code handy) then measure the resistance between the 3 wires and the body of the truck – you will find the ground wire when the resistance will be close to 0. Reconnect the battery and measure the voltage between the ground wire and the other 2 – the one with 12v on it is the power one and the other goes to the power input of the converter. Check that by removing the converter and looking where they are plugged – if you have any doubts that they are not the wires from the cupboard just check their continuity.All of this is a 5 minute job. Once you know the wires just connect the ground on to the minus and the power and the converter ones to the plus.

I have a 1997 motor guide wireless 24volt Big Water trolling motor. hooked it up to the batteries and put in a new 9volt battery in the foot pedal. the lights come on on top of the motor head and the foot pedal beeps, but the prop doesnt turn or spin (like there is no power to the bottom of the motor) any suggestions to what the problem is or how to fix it? (just bought the motor from a lady who’s husband died. dont have any manuals)
ANSWER : Hello there, as you said the power does not get to the bottom of the motor. The motor could be faulty or just completely bad. First you have to determine that the motor is good until you can determine this it is quite impossible to determine if there can be any fix. Take out the motor and try to power it on its own if it works fine then the problem is not from the motor but most likely the problem is from the motor. Let me know what your findings are. Hoping to hear from you soon.
Thank you for visiting FixYa.

The valve o ring (large) keeps falling out of its place
ANSWER : Whether this is a new or old problem, I’d make sure you have the right o-ring for that location. One actually from the Tippmann kit. If you have that (which it sounds like you do), that is definitely an odd problem. Can you swap that out with someone else that has an A-5? If not check out the local field or airsmith and see if they have one. I haven’t come across a valve having that problem but if it’s a defect then Tippmann may replace it free, or you may have to replace it either way. Again, a Tippmann certified airsmith can swap it out under warranty possibly if that’s the case, or a quick turnaround for a price otherwise.Good luck!

Play hard, play safe, play with honor!

I have lost all pressure in my coleman 502 camp stove. It worked well a few times but up camping it lost pressure after having worked well making coffee but after getting back to camp after a trip out fishing its like someone messed with my stove while I was out. Could it have overheated sitting out in the sun on our table? It no longer builds up pressure when pumped. I took the part out and the plunger looked worn, but I don’t know if it is missing a part inside the tank or what. I just bought it at a thrift store a couple months back as an extra burner.
ANSWER : If you didn’t oil it it might do that. or you should check the position at witch you are holding the plunger.
the instructions say that the plunger turns left and right but mine doesn’t do that
DON’T FORGET TO COVER THE HOLE IN THE PLUNGER THOUGH
IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO FIGURE THAT OUT THE FIRST TIME
